Oddities - Season 2 - Eps 2: Raising The Dead
At Obscura Antiques and Oddities, shop regular Laura Flook stumbles upon a disturbing, mysterious tonic -- made with actual testicles. Meanwhile, when a customer can’t part with his beloved "pets," Ryan accepts a challenge to "rebuild" them from recently unearthed remains. He hits a serious snag when pieces of the formerly-purring pair are missing, forcing him to take some artistic liberties that the customer finds intriguing. Later, when a seller offers to part with what he calls a mummified human ear, Mike and Evan must call in their expert to find out if it’s the real deal.
