A home-wrecker demon is stealing all of the husbands in the village! The wives don’t mind too much, but they ask for Miroku’s help anyway. Sango goes with.
Original Air Date: 14 Jan 2002, Streamed on: Hulu
Miroku, the ever amorous monk, opens the episode by propositioning a damsel in minor distress, but she turns out to be a pick-pocket, no doubt working undercover for the Horny Police.
They make it to the village with the missing husbands, and Miroku is nonplussed to discover that the women who need help are married.
Sango follows Miroku to find the lost husbands [Editor’s note: great band name], while Shippo and Kagome explain to Inuyasha, as they would to a 5-year-old, that Sango is totally into Miroku.
Miroku gets pretty sexist after Sango tells a story about a woman so bitter she became a demon. The flags are yellow and numerous, Sango.
Upon entering the titular mist, Miroku and Sango are separated. Miroku finds the titular temptress, while Sango finds a bunch of old men and… squash? The old men are the lost husbands. No one but me is curious about the squash.
The temptress propositions Miroku, which really isn’t his speed, but he is the horniest monk. Sango comes to “save” Miroku, and her voice triggers the temptress’s transformation into her true form, a coyote demon.
Miroku separates the possessed princess’s soul from the demon in seconds, but the demon’s assault continues.
Miroku throws spell scrolls, creating an opening for Sango’s boomerang. The princess’s soul ascends as Miroku tells the true story of the princess’s not so bitter end.
Sango and Miroku get all sweet and blushy by the river… until Miroku gets handsy. Go straight to horny jail, buddy.

Did you miss it?
Like most young men, the lost husbands really didn’t like being called “old.”
