Ash Vs. Evil Dead Season 2: 10 Things To Look Forward To

3. A Trip Down Memory Lane - To Ash's Home Town

You can go home again - you just probably shouldn't.

With the inclusion of Ash's father and childhood best friend in season two, it's probably no surprise that Ash returns to his home town: Elk Grove, Michigan. It seems like Ash has some unfinished business there - and the locals don't exactly trust him. They think he's responsible for what happened in the cabin in the woods all those years ago.

So don't exactly expect a hero's welcome for good ol' Ash. What you can expect, which seems to be a theme of the new season, is some expanded backstory. A little more on who Ash is, since we're visiting where he came from. Maybe even some info on his sister. And a town full of people who do not trust him.

However, don't expect things to go according to plan. It's almost a given that deadites will have laid a trap for Ash back home. While it's a bit puzzling that the show went with Elk Grove rather than the previously established Dearborn, Michigan (which is a real town, as opposed to the fictional Elk Grove), this little retcon does open up lots of possibilities for torturing Ash, which - lets be honest - is half the fun of the show!
