| Ghost Dad / int_1b590025 | comment |
Dead All Along: Inverted. It turns out that Elliot actually survived the taxi crash and is in a coma in the hospital. The "ghost" that we've been following is actually an astral projection that Elliot has been projecting from his hospital bed. | |

Deranged Taxi Driver | |
| Ghost Dad / int_284c5733 | comment |
Deranged Taxi Driver: Elliot makes the epic mistake of catching a ride with Satanist taxi driver Curtis Burch, who drives erratically and screams about obeying his "Dark Master" (Elliot pretends to be Satan and commands him to stop, causing Burch to drive the cab into a river). When he runs into Burch again at the end, Elliot orders him to go straight to hell and Burch ecstatically drives off. | |
