Reaper: Greg, Schmeg

Last week’s Reaper episode wasn’t utterly impressive, thought it advanced elements of the series’ underlying mythology.
Bottom line of what I believe to be the case:
The page of the contract that damned Sam’s soul to hell, which Sam’s father burned once upon a time, explained the out Sam had: To stay a pure soul.
Despite the fact that Sam is a bounty hunter for Satan, he is still a pure soul. Can such a soul ever truly belong in Hell?
If that were not the case, why else would the Devil be working so hard to try to make Sam kill Greg?
Sam’s use of his get out of hell free card to free Greg’s soul from Beelzebub’s grasp pretty much surprised the Dark Lord. But it was in complete character for Sam to use it for someone else; even if that someone else was his girlfriend’s ex who sold his soul to the Devil in order to regain the love of said girlfriend.
Even if one sells one’s soul to Lucifer, can that soul truly go to hell if the that soul is pure?
Tomorrow, we won’t find out the answer to that question, but we find out that, just like CTU, Hell has a mole. A particular soul keeps escaping from Heaven; Jerry (aka Satan) realizes there’s a mole at work and orders Sam to investigate.
But who is the mole?
SPOILER ALERT: 
If the previews are to be beleived, I know who it is (Gladys!!!!), and I’m not surprised, but I hope nothing happens to her. It was so awesome to have her back last week. The excellent casting on this show goes deep, all the way to the occasional demon at the DMV.
Come back tomorrow (Tuesday) and maybe I’ll even blog about it day of… Now that would be something new.
