Oddities - Season 2 - Eps 3: 3 Little Piggies
When a seller brings three jars of grotesque, deformed pigs to Obscura Antiques and Oddities, Mike thinks they may be the perfect items for a restaurant owner up the street. When they are turned down for being "unappetizing" Mike and Ryan must scramble to find a replacement piece for the eatery. Meanwhile, Evan unexpectedly meets a kindred spirit: a customer who purchases one of her favorite, painstakingly restored pieces of Victorian hair art. And a mysterious artist who paints in his own blood makes a deal on a WWI blood transfusion kit, and takes Mike and Evan on a tour of his work.
