After another run-in with Merlyn, Sheriff Buck conjures up the spirit of the Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, to deal with her once and for all. But DeSalvo has an appetite for some other females in town, including Gail. Lucas goes off to a convention out of town, meanwhile, and Ben fills in as sheriff.—Billie Rae Bates
Sheriff of the Year: Lucas summons the evil spirit of Albert DeSalvo, a.k.a. Boston Strangler, to get rid off Merlyn Temple and travels to a convention. The serial killer befriends Caleb expecting to attract Merlyn. He also strangles two nurses and tries unsuccessfully to kill Gail. Meanwhile Ben assumes the investigation of the murder cases and he believes it is a copycat of the Strangler of Boston and earns the respect from Floyd. "Strangler" is another unaired episode of the "American Gothic" only available in the DVD Box. In this episode, the viewer sees how strong the power of Caleb is. My vote is seven.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
