‘Evil’ Season 4 Episode 9 Preview: Photos, Cast and “How to Build a Chatbot” Plot

Robert King offers this tease of Paramount+’s Evil season four episode nine: “This Thursday on #Evil more on glass ceilings. Bulletproof dresses. Leland gets blood on his hands. Red panties. The Manager prepares for his keynote.” What does it all mean? The answer will be provided when episode nine premieres on Thursday, July 18, 2024.

Season four stars Katja Herbers as Kristen Bouchard, Mike Colter as David Acosta, Aasif Mandvi as Ben Shakir, Michael Emerson as Leland Townsend, and Christine Lahti as Sheryl. Andrea Martin stars as Sister Andrea, Kurt Fuller is Dr. Boggs, Brooklyn Shuck is Lynn Bouchard, Skylar Gray is Lila Bouchard, Maddy Crocco is Lexis Bouchard, Patrick Brammall is Andy Bouchard, and Dalya Knapp plays Laura Bouchard.

“How to Build a Chatbot” Plot: David, Kristen, and Ben investigate a company using AI to fake communication with the dead after Father Ignatius receives text messages from the deceased Monsignor Korecki. At DF, Sheryl and the other women convince The Manager to take action against Leland.

In the new season of Evil, Kristen, David and Ben continue to assess cases that involve wayward technology, possessed pigs, demonic oppression and infestation, a dance muse conjured by alleged witches and an evil relic. Throughout, Leland attempts to lure Kristen into raising a baby antichrist who was conceived with her ovum. David is recruited by the Vatican’s secret service to “remote view” a paranormal ability to see the unseen in order to detect evil. Ben is hit by an ion beam, causing him to see visions of a taunting jinn until he discovers an unusual solution to banish it.

Finally, all three realize they only have a few weeks left to assess cases because the parish has decided to disband the team due to a lack of funds. This culminates in one last confrontation with Leland and the 60 families that make up Evil in the modern world.
