Oddities - Season 2 - Eps 5: Romancing the Bone
At Obscura Antiques and Oddities, regular customer Edgar is looking for a very special desk lamp. When Evan presents him one made of a baboon’s paw, he feels it may be too spooky, even for this eccentric buyer. Then, Ryan gets a lesson in love a beautiful bone artist stops in to try to sell an articulated rooster skeleton. Ryan plans a romantic date, but things take a turn for the worse when he brings her to meet another bone artist -- and his flesh-eating beetles. Meanwhile, a seller tries to peddle teddy bears (made of her boyfriend’s sweaty belly button lint) to Mike and Evan.
