Details

Summary
In their bedroom on their wedding night, the apparently prim and proper Sarah reveals to her new husband Gabriel that she's been married six times before (she apparently always gets married when she drinks) but that each of her previous six husbands has been strangled to death on their wedding night by the demon Asmodeus, who appears, dressed in a white suit and pushing a Victorian baby buggy full of snakes, but is tricked by Gabriel, who is actually an archangel, into strangling himself. Sarah hopes she can now finally have sexual intercourse, but, alas, angels can't have sex, so Sarah is left alone, hoping she can somehow revive her demon.
