Santa Clarita Diet season 3, episode 3 recap: We Let People Die Every Day

Things are getting complicated for Sheila and Joel on Santa Clarita Diet as they try to save Christa’s life.

Santa Clarita Diet is having quite an interesting third (and final) season as the plot tries to mess with the idea of Joel being undead. You see, Sheila wants nothing more than to be able to spend eternity with Joel, but the prospect of eating humans doesn’t sound too appealing to Joel–especially butts, which Gary assures him isn’t that bad.

Another issue Sheila and Joel are tackling in this episode of Santa Clarita Diet is the fact that Anne won’t stop telling people about Sheila and her gift. They don’t want to attract unnecessary attention on themselves, but Anne certainly isn’t helping, even though she means to. Sheila tries to tell Anna that God spoke to her and asked for Sheila and Joel to work alone without Anne. But did Anne listen? Nah, she wants to stick around and tell as many people as possible.

Meanwhile, Gary’s head is still in the basement and both Sheila and Joel forgot to give him the serum that would prevent any further deterioration. They’re a bit too late, however, and his entire face is sort of melting into one gooey mess, including a part of his throat that just sort of fell out. Gross, much?

The whole Knights of Serbia thing is a bit weird this season but it gets even weirder when Tommy mistakenly assumes that Christa is the undead realtor they’re looking for. He plans to kill her, but Sheila and Joel plan to intervene. It doesn’t go exactly as planned and involved some stabbings but they did manage to prevent Sebastian from killing Christa and proving that she’s very much alive.

On the fracking investigation front, Abby and Eric continue to cover their tracks by telling Winter that they have been pranking each other for a while. That’s why Abby was awkwardly throwing away a random backpack. Of course, Abby and Eric are in for a scare when the FBI agent comes snooping around the environmental club hoping to find out anything she can about the explosion.

Oh, and one last thing. Gary has been hired by Joel to run Hammond Realty. This ought to be interesting! If anyone could pull off a zombie head running a company, it’s Santa Clarita Diet.
