Todd & the Book of Pure Evil - B.Y.O.B.O.P.E



This episode of Book of Pure Evil has the titular Todd and Book showing up at a party of his peers, with all the expected boozing and making out. The Book causes those in attendance of the party to rip hearts out of each other's chests, with the activity passed around the entire house! Meanwhile Nikki (later learned to be the three metalheads forged into a uniform babe eliciting their boorish traits!) must get Todd laid so he becomes the Evil One and bring about the apocalypse! Jenny, of course, tries to get over her jealousy of Todd being with someone else (Todd really thinks Nikki is a serious relationship, not some one night stand with a high school dropout) and help stop him from losing his virginity after listening to a record she finds in the house (it seems the matriarch of the home likes her Satanic rock!) spelling out the three ways it takes to be the Pure Evil One. Hannah and Curtis seem to be on the verge of losing their virginity when Jenny spoils things (Curtis and Todd make a "lose our virginity" bet!) by requesting their assistance in stopping Todd's fucking Nikki. And not to be too far from the presence of the Book of Pure Evil, Atticus, carrying an ice cooler containing his dad's head he talks to (!), arrives to the party assuming an identity although everyone knows it’s their school's guidance counselor. Also a popular party student, after losing his own heart to a Book-possessed girlfriend, watching it stomped in front of him, steals from another student giving him a blowjob so he can continue to live, suffering the effects of not holding his liquor. It seems he “passes off” this curse and realizes he eventually can hold his booze, just as long as he pats others on their back or shoulder so they are cursed instead of him. When he kisses the school cheerleader (she likes a man who holds his booze), something about this that “poisons” him, leaving him in this collapsed heap on the floor. The episode toys around with kids at a party, fueled by hormones and liberated by kegs of beer, and the Book of Pure Evil on the loose, causing bodily harm and this circle of violence involving the loss and gain of a heart in order to keep partying! It is as silly as it all sounds. Jenny is a fun character, I think, and is often the true hero of the show, while Todd is a bit of a dimbulb needing all the help he can get. And Carmen Lavigne is just delish, even when completely crude.
