It’s hard to end a show with a lot of loose threads when you’ve only got four episodes to make something happen. This is exactly the predicament that Evil found itself in during its fourth and final season. Though series creators Robert and Michelle King have considered the last episodes the show’s “fifth” season, it didn’t give our favorite characters much time to process the impending End of Days. But there was one character who was hurt the most because of this shortened narrative, one whose entire character arc was thrown out the window… If your first thought was also Patrick Brammall‘s Andy Bouchard, then you would be right on the money, and we’re still mad about it.
‘Evil’ Wrecked Andy’s Life in the End, and It Still Doesn’t Make Sense
There’s no denying that Andy Bouchard got a raw deal on Evil. The show — taking a cue from his mother-in-law, Sheryl (played fabulously by Christine Lahti) — was always pretty hostile towards Andy. New ways were invented each season to write him off, likely due to Brammall’s availability, which separated him from his family and often hurt Kristen (Katja Herbers) in the process. So when Sheryl and Leland (the chilling Michael Emerson) demonically fractured his psyche, we wondered if this guy would ever catch a break. Spoiler alert: he wouldn’t. Though the Bouchard girls (easily the best part of the show) caught onto Leland’s schemes, Andy was never the same. Because of demonic mind control, he very nearly killed his daughter Laura (Dalya Knapp), only to thrust Leland’s poison into his own veins instead.
