Super late talking about this but here are my thoughts anyway.
We begin with a guy cooking body parts. Gross. He eats the eye and has a vision of the Winchesters. The boys, Castiel, Jack and Rowena are hunting this dude. We find out they recruited Rowena for a tracking spell but the guy always gets away. Turns out that it’s because he’s a Gorgon and, when eats the eyes, can see the future.
Meanwhile, Jack coughs and everyone worries. “I’m not dying.”
Rowena asks about Dean and Sam replies he’s fine. “Because he’s Dean. And Dean is Dean. He’s fine.” That is the most Sam thing I think Sam has ever said.
Jack, we see, is spitting up blood. He heals himself. I am confused. I thought that he had tapped the power of his soul to already heal himself? He has to do it more than once? That would burn his soul up right quick!
Cas and Dean have a heart to heart and then Jack returns.
Loved the scene about the AV club. *snickers* Dean’s right, Sam would so be AV club material.
We find out that it’s a Gorgon and that it’s kiss can paralyze. We see Noah, the Gorgon, kiss the trucker and paralyze him.
He leaves a note for Dean.
Rowena and Sam try to find info by going to a vet with a transformed Jack as a dog. Watching Sam and Rowena pretending to be a couple was…sort of disturbing, for me. TAhey get the anti-venom and Rowena casts her spell.
Noah, meanwhile, has taken another person. He mentions that men make easier prey because women are more cautious lately. “Waking up from centuries of misogynistic oppression”.
We had found out that the Gorgon can’t see angels so they use Jack and Cas to get the drop on him. But my thing is, how can Noah see Dean with Michael in his head? *shrugs*
Jack beheads Noah and Dean gets knocked out cold.
Cas and Jack talk about losing the boys back at the bunker. Michael, we discover, is now out and free (which directly contradicts a previous episode, doesn’t it? Didn’t they say or at least heavily imply that if Dean booted Michael he would die or melt or something? Explanation please, show).
Michael killed all the AU hunters, including Maggie. Honestly, not too upset. I found Maggie rather annoying (as a character) myself. That just leaves AU!Bobby, I believe? (Where is he, btw? You’d think this would be an all hands on deck sitch!)
Rowena shows up only she’s Michael now. We see that he offered to let her live in exchange for using her body. She pointed out she’s safe from everyone else as Death has said Sam will be the one to kill her. So he threatens her with killing everyone else. She nods (it was noted, this is the first time that someone assented to be a vessel without verbal consent. That’s new) and he takes her over.
Michael tortures the boys and Cas but not Jack? Why?
Michael and Jack fight and Jack says: “I am not a child! I'm the son of Lucifer. I'm a hunter! I am a Winchester!”
And then he pulls him out of Rowena, seems to burn/kill him and then absorbs him/his grace? Anyone else instantly think that Michael took over Jack? Or that Jack used the rest of his soul to do that? Anyone else wonder why Jack couldn’t have done that before? I mean, they had the key to pulling Michael from Dean all this time? And getting rid of him? Um, what?
Jack, seemingly, is back to full power, showing his wings. But what does this mean? Is he using Michael’s grace now? I’m still not convinced Michael is gone.
So a pretty good episode but it felt a bit fractured. The Gorgon story and the Mytharc thing didn’t mesh well, IMO, and I would have rather devoted this episode to one or the other and do the second done another time.
