So some kids break into an Asylum (well, a home but still). And we do the found footage thing (which I’ve always found kind of annoying myself but…). Also, was it me or was that one of the longest ‘starts’ to an episode? Just went on for a long time, seemed to me.
Sam being nice to Dean (a theme that would continue through the episode). Telling Dean they should go on a case alone and that he set Jack up with fantasy DVDs. Red Sonia, the Beastmaster movies, etc.
So Jack stays behind (reminded me of the early seasons for a bit. Just the boys doing a ‘monster of the week’ hunt). Dean tries to talk to the kid but nope.
Loved the ways Sam tried to be nice to Dean. Beer for breakfast, letting him blast his music, the strip club thing, etc.). It freaked Dean out though.
And Sam trying to convince a stripper to go to nursing school is so Sam!
Dean intends to cope via “bullets, bacon and booze. Lots of booze.” That is very Dean.
Sam waking up and finding Dean on the floor (with a bright pink bra around his neck!) was funny. Leaving him on the floor? Funnier.
They meet up (that was a truly epic amount of bacon on Dean’s plate!), they go to the place.
“Door. Salt. Burn ‘em.” So succinct.
They get rid of the doc but we had half an episode left (also, I’d been spoiled about Billie so knew she was coming yet). Dean kills himself to help the ghosts. Meets up with Sean, who’d been possessed then murdered.
Billie keeps Dean from going back and they make a deal. I did love Billie’s line about “it’s funny to hear a Winchester talk about the finality of death.” True enough. So there’s a system in place in case Death dies? Huh. Also, anyone else wonder if Billie’s ‘getting the bigger picture’ thing (and understanding the Winchesters importance) means she had a talk with Chuck? Cause I do.
Dean makes a deal to free the ghosts (though I don’t really understand why they couldn’t leave before?). I kinda thought he might deal for Sean to get sent back to the living, at least.
Dean giving up? Wants to die? I can almost buy that. Except for one thing—Sam. Dean has never and will never leave Sam. I just don’t buy that. Even with Cas and Mom and whatnot, he wouldn’t do that. He wouldn’t. But okay, for narrative’s sake. Billie sends him back, telling him they’ve “got work to do” (nice callback use of the phrase!).
Dean tells Sam about Billie, and about needing a win. They are on their way home when he gets a call.
It’s Castiel. He’s back.
So yeah, good episode and nice to go ‘back to basics’, as it were.
