## Plot Summary

Laura gets home and sees a monster who has come to kill Chrissy. Laura kills him before Chrissy comes home. Chrissy is upset because her mom doesn't ask her anything about her life or school. Chrissy asks her friend, Amanda's, mom to come to Back to School night instead of her mom who agrees. Laura is furious that Chrissy asked her instead but she goes to the school anyway.

Laura meets Amanda at the event and she loses it on her. Amanda asks if Laura has considered therapy for Chrissy and Laura, furious, leaves the event- embarrassing Chrissy. Chrissy wants her mom to apologize to Amanda and the others at the event. Laura explains that she's upset because Amanda acted like Laura wasn't a good mom. Chrissy points out that Laura does fall short sometimes. Laura tells her she does so much for her but decides to be a better mom.

Satan is about to receive his co-demons, including Baka, Mabel, and Bogey, to have a party where they kill humans for fun. They end up attacking a family and kill all the members - except a young girl. Satan's friends are confused why he didn't kill her but he lied and said he was going to bury her alive. Instead, he goes out and puts the girl in the trunk of his car and warns Snake with Arms to not say a word about it in front of his friends.

Laura decides to use anger leeches on herself so that she can beat the mothers at “their own game.” Anger leeches suck outrage instead of blood. To test the leeches, she puts one of them on her arm and asks Darlene to tell her a story. As Darlene begins her story, the leech starts to squelch and Laura keeps her cool. The leeches work.

Laura invites the other mothers from Chrissy's school over. Laura seems off but Chrissy doesn't take much notice. Laura goes to a PTA meeting. She continues to remain calm when dealing with the other mothers, with the help of the anger leeches.

Satan and his friends attack a frat house, killing every human they lay their eyes on. But Satan isn’t able to kill even a single human. Instead, he puts a handful of guys into his car trunk. Snake with Arms tries to make him understand that he has a child now, and maybe that’s why he is growing softer.

Back at home, Chrissy is attacked by a monster. She calls for help to her mom but Laura is too calm to even realize that her daughter is in danger. She goes inside and closes the door. Chrissy somehow manages to slit the monster’s throat and falls to the ground, all out of breath. Chrissy is furious her mom didn't help her so she runs upstairs to scream at her but instead finds her mother covered top to bottom in leeches. Laura is apparently unaffected by it and speaks to her in an loving tone. Meanwhile, the other moms arrive at their house, perhaps for another tea party.

Satan is struggling to put more and more humans inside his car. And as soon as his friends and the demons arrive, some humans spill out of the trunk. One of them recognizes a nun and a teen that he had planned to kill. They realize that Satan has turned into a “soft, little baby.” Satan admits that he doesn’t enjoy the killing anymore.

The demons reveal that they always knew Satan was lame. They are about to pounce on Satan when Snake with Arms interferes and swallows Baka. Satan then kills Mabel and Bogey.
