Recap / Highway To Heaven S 2 E 4 The Devil And Jonathan Smith

Go To

Tropes associated with this episode:

  • Animorphism: The con artist working with the Devil finds out the consequences of failing him are very severe: He turns him into a mouse ... and there is a hungry cat nearby. Meow!
  • Halloween Episode: Although not specifically celebrating Halloween, the episode does have supernatural themes and a late-October feel, and as such stations often air this (and the later "I Was a Middle-Aged Werewolf") on or near October 31.
  • Out-Gambitted: Jonathan, it appears, has made a deal with the Devil to save Mark's soul ... or has he?
  • Take Me Instead: Jonathan appears to be falling into the Devil's trap to acquire his soul. As always, however, the wily Jonathan is one step ahead of the Devil.
  • You Have Failed Me and You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: The Devil is indescribably angry, to say the least, when the con artist he was scheming with (to acquire Jonathan's soul) is Out-Gambitted.
