This is an interesting and sure to be funny twist. The villain of this episode we already know can only be seen by those who are inebriated. Yes, it is good to see the old Sam shining through after the impending doom visions. Sam is in good enough shape to stick Dean with a drunk Garth and feel smug about it. Still recovering from those sleepless nights I suppose. ![]() It’s good to see Sam looking relaxed, though he is a little pale. This conversation would have continued but for Garth’s phone call, so that in mind, I know we aren’t done with this thread. This comment I’m choosing to take as evidence of my “removed the symptoms so the initial wound can heal” theory. Dean immediately asks how Sam’s head is feeling and Sam says it’s getting better. It’s reassuring to see that this wasn’t the end of Sam’s storyline on this either. Picking up the ball from last week, Sam is driving while Dean checks in with Cas, who is apparently still out of it and under Meg’s watchful eye. Before he gets too far, he hears on the radio that there has been another killing and makes a decision to call in the Winchester cavalry. After “Garthing” the supposed ghost that he was led to after a pretty awesome interrogation scene where Garth got his cool on, Garth heads back to the motel. ![]() So this week we are back to the classic MOTW formula – with a teaser straight out of a slasher movie, SPLAT title card and then we open back up with Garth stepping out of a classic car of his own and channelling a little bit of that Dean Winchester bad ass attitude, right down to the apparent booty call. Let’s not waste any time and get right to it, shall we? Except for one tiny, weensy detail that had this episode shooting from just “okay” to “epic” levels in no time flat: the return of Bobby Singer. So, all in all it wasn’t a bad episode though certainly not going into the Supernatural hall of fame either. Though the Garth character was okay for comic relief previously, a whole episode of him felt like a bit much to me. While watching this episode, I had mostly tepid feelings about it. Is anyone else mystified as to how we are onto episode 18 of season seven already? Here we are, the final episode before a baby-induced hiatus.
