Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
"Pennzoil Platinum. Hello, baby."
"DUI" was a ferocious, action-packed episode that felt like it closed out a four-episode mini arc for the season. With Ruby and Kelly killing the "children," Ash getting revenge on the Delta 88 for killing his father (using Brock's bull-riding words to help stay atop the car!) and Pablo finally having a confrontation with the Necronomicon, this one snipped off some story threads so that we could get to Baal - who exploded from the hell portal right at the end.
Naturally, we knew the Necronomicon was conning Pablo into sending it back to hell, but I'm glad that the decision to toss the book in the trunk was made by both him and Ash together, and not just a mistake made by Pablo that he might the rest of the season regretting. Pablo was already in such a delicate state because of his visions that it really wouldn't suit him to get more mopey. Here, even though it was a trick, he felt empowered and, in the very least, he can split the blame with "Could things get any worse?" Ash.
Pairing the final two action scenes together and cutting back and forth between them was an awesome idea. I liked switching from the car battle in the demolition derby to Ruby and Kelly shooting and slashing their way through the demon kids. Victories for both sides! Another reason why I felt like this one finished off a story that began in the season premiere. The "children" are gone and Ash finally reconciled with his dad. The "clench those cheeks nice and tight" callback really was a great moment too, letting us know that Ash was able to listen to, and use, the only goofy words of advice his father ever gave him.
"DUI" fittingly felt like the climax for the fist part of the season. It's not quite the halfway point, but a lot of story got cleared away to make room for Baal - who we only caught a small fiery glimpse of right at the end. It was funny, violent, and featured Ash battling his own demonic Delta. What more could you want?

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 1 Review
With Bruce Campbell, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, Lucy Lawless. Ash has spent the last thirty years avoiding responsibility, maturity, and the terrors of the Evil Dead until a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind and Ash becomes mankind's only hope.
Picking up just moments after the shocking conclusion of episode 3, "D.U.I." wastes little time on tears and slips right back into disgusting, hilarious territory. Ash's beloved Delta 88 is still possessed and wreaking havoc on Elk Grove.
