This article contains spoilers for Episode 6 of 'Evil'

Tonight on CBS' ongoing supernatural drama 'Evil', the inevitable "meet the family" moment happened. And as expected, things did not go right at all.

It was finally time for Kristen to meet the new man her mother Sheryl has been enamored with. However, things don't turn out great when Leland shows up at her home with her mother.

Actually, he shows up with Sheryl when Kristen isn't home and begins playing a game with her kids which somehow involves a song that goes: "I like coffee! I like tea! I like the devil to dance with me!"

When Kristen returns to find the man who has been haunting her in real life and in her dreams in such close proximity to the ones she holds dearest, her immediate response is pretty much guaranteed.

Calmly, Kristen asks Leland to follow her to the garage where she manages to find a knife and cut him right across the jugular. Neat, right? It gets better.

Kristen threatens Leland, asking him to go home and never to see her mother ever again, and even though Leland tries to act all smug, telling Kristen all this stabbing only "turns him on" further, the fact that Kristen's gash was just enough to allow Leland 20 minutes to get to the hospital and get stitched up before he bled to death was pretty kickass.

Sheryl, of course, is unreasonable and refuses to understand at first, but after listening to a recording of Leland's voice spewing despicable things to her daughter, she decides to put her family first.



 

Sadly, when she tries to tell Leland the same, things lead to an intimate moment between the two where they end up lying in a bed surrounded by literally dancing flames of fire. The next morning when Sheryl wakes up, she can be seen reaching into her closet for a red dress.

Are they getting married? Is this some satanic summoning ritual? We don't know, but fans have a feeling that Kristen's violent threats did spur Leland on further.

Taking to Twitter, a fan shared:  "Aw, don't encourage him!" about Kristen's threats to Leland. And even though Leland self-admittedly claims this spurred him further, certain fans also believe: "If I were you, Leland Townsend, I would do what Kristen Bouchard says right now!"

'Evil' airs on Thursdays at 10 pm only on CBS.
