Open on Dean in the hospital. I physically cringed when they set his leg; the sound was so nasty! And of course, they're in the hospital where the leviathan are.
Glad to see that Bobby's okay! I knew they couldn't kill him off, or at least I fervently hoped they wouldn't. So now Dean's wandering around the hospital, doped up on morphine with a broken leg. This is *definitely* going to end well. I do like the way Bobby just grabbed Sam from that orderly. And now he's stealing an ambulance. What a badass. Close call with the leviathan doctors, but of course they got away.
Cut to Whitefish, Montana - 3 weeks later. The boys are holed up in a little cabin, watching Spanish soap operas. While Bobby explains the situation, Sam appears to lapse in and out of reality. Squeezing that cut's only gonna last so long, Sammy. Oh, so this was Rufus' cabin. I miss Rufus. Dean, do you really think it's a good idea to send Sam out on a food run alone, what with him hallucinating Lucifer and all?
Uh oh, looks like one of Sam's credit cards got flagged! But who's looking for them? Also, was that guy talking to Chuck first? The "Mistress Magda" comment seems to indicate so...wonder if he'll be showing up this season?
Sam's back, and he brought cake - which is definitely not pie. Flash back to 1998: young Sammy sits on a park bench. He talks to Dean, then their father, on his brick of a 90's cell phone. Something called a kitsune - sounds like a monster of the week to me!
Haha "My Bloodiest Valentine" - totally a reference to Jensen being in "My Bloody Valentine"! Now where is Sam sneaking off to?
Okay, random drug deal going down. And something just killed the dealer...
Back to Dean. How did we get from horror movies to Animal Planet without anyone changing the channel? Never mind. In Dean's defense, I'd probably panic too. Sam's run off leaving only a note that says "Back in a few days. I'm fine".
Oh yeah Dean, circular saw seems like a great way to take off a cast...
Cut to Sam at a police station, impersonating a fed (I'm guessing based on the suit), and talking to a local cop about the case. 3 missed calls from "Lars Ulrich". Nice Metallica reference!
Go to Dean, searching for Sam. Not much to report there. But he did find the newspaper that set Sam off!
Back to Sam, in the morgue now. Whatever this thing is eats pituitary glands. Gross. Now we're flashing between present Sam setting up shop and young Sam doing research in the library. There appears to be a pattern to the killings. Now we're between present Sam on stakeout and young Sam checking out a girl at the library. Young Sam says "You stab it in the heart!" loudly and only gets a shush from the librarian?
Young Sam approaches the girl. He gets a very harsh, "No. Go away" for his efforts. Ouch. Apparently this girl's not supposed to talk to boys. So then who are the two following her around? The boys appear to be hassling her. Sammy intervenes and kicks their butts just enough to send them packing. Attaboy! So her name's Amy.
Present: Sam follows a mystery woman around the forest, and some guy struggles to get into his car. Turns out mystery woman isn't such a mystery: she's Amy!
Okay, I couldn't care less about Gossip Girl. Can we please get back to Supernatural?
Present: Sam and Amy (Jewel Staite). Sam thinks Amy is the monster, and at the moment it does seem like it.
1998: Amy cleans a bruise on Sam's face and asks him how he beat those guys up. Sam says he watches a lot of Bruce Lee movies. Amy goes to get Sam a drink. Oh my God, the fridge is full of BRAINS! They talk about their lives and how they both move around a lot. Sam says he hates being the new kid because everyone thinks he's a freak. Amy says all the coolest people are freaks. They kiss.
Present: Okay, so Amy's the monster. She says she's managing what she is. Sam goes to make his move, but Amy easily incapacitates him.
Cut to Dean, in the same morgue as before. When the ME mentions the missing pituitary glands, Dean finally makes the connection. He calls Bobby to reaveal that the monster is in fact a kitsune.
Sam finds Amy at her house. OH. MY. GOD. HER NAME IS AMY POND!!!!! (Sorry, couldn't help that. There HAS to be a Doctor Who fan on the writing staff!) It appears Amy has killed recently. Sam says he has to kill her. Amy protests, saying Sam knows her.
1998: Sam spills a soda after they break the kiss. Amy says her mom has a temper. Sam talks about his dad's drinking. Sam says he's been around enough bad to know that Amy is good.
Present: Amy continues to beg for her life. She shows Sam her son and says she only feeds on the dead. She's a mortician. But her son got sick, and the only way to cure him was to get him some "fresh meat". Oh boy, there's an "After what I did for you" moment coming on...
1998: The door unlocks. Amy hides Sam in the closet. Her mom comes in. 2 pros in an Impala (John and Dean) have caught up with them. Amy's mother says they have to move. Sam realizes what's going on, but he definitely figures it out when he sees a jar of brain on the kitchen table. Amy figures out Sam is a hunter, and that they're supposed to kill each other. She says she's never killed anyone and asks if Sam really wants to kill her. He says no. Amy begs him to leave, saying her mother will kill him. Sam puts his knife away.
Present: Sam walks out a liquor store (I think), and something knocks him to the ground. It's Dean. "Hi there, Sam" he says to his unconscious brother. Yup, that's a healthy relationship...although I do suppose surprise is the only advantage Dean has over Sam, what with the size difference and all.
"New rule: you steal my baby, you get punched." Seems like sound logic, Dean. Now the boys are some motel, and Dean is scolding the holy hell out of Sam for taking off and ignoring his calls. Sam fesses up to letting Amy go. Dean is understandably shocked.
1998: Amy's mom finds Sam. She berates Amy for befriending a human, and moves in for the kill on Sam. Amy sticks a kitchen knife in her mother, killing her. Okay, so that was a pretty significant "After what I did for you"...
Present: Sam tries to make Dean understand that Amy doesn't need to be hunted. Dean doesn't agree; he says they have to kill her. He says it's "that simple". "Nothing in our lives is simple," Dean responds.
1998: Amy wants to run away with Sam. Sam asks if she has cash and tells her to take the first bus out of town. Amy pleads with him ("We can be freaks together"), but Sam won't go.
Present: Dean calls Amy a freak, which upsets Sam. Sam has another "I'm a freak, but I'm not dangerous" monologue. He tells Dean that Amy only killed to save her son's life, saying they'd probably do the same thing. He pulls the puppy eyes - we all know Dean can't say no to those - and begs his brother to trust him. Dean acquiesces, saying he has to start trusting Sam at some point.
Why are commercials so annoying? Oh right, it's because they're interrupting Supernatural...Haha, Caroline from Bones is in a Trident commercial. Hey CW Cincinnati, you might want to take those Charlie Sheen "Two and a Half Men" clips out of your video montage commercial...
Wow, another Biggerson's restaurant! They're really getting some love this season! Dean offers to let Sam drive; Sam asks if Dean's going to punch him again. I LOL'd. They drive to Spokane to hole up for the night until Bobby can meet them. Dean leaves Sam to check into the motel while he goes out to get more pills. But really, he followed Amy. Man, every time someone says "Amy Pond", I think Doctor Who and Karen Gillan! Dean gives Amy the "You are what you are lecture", telling her she will kill again. And then he stabs her. WTF DEAN?!?! Amy's son Jacob walks in at exactly the wrong moment. Dean asks if he has someone to go to; the boy nods. Dean asks if he's ever killed anyone; he shakes his head. Jacob says the only person he's going to kill is Dean. Creepy as hell.
Cut to the convenience store from earlier. The guy tracking Sam says he's catching up. Oh shit, he's a leviathan! He pours scalding nacho cheese on the store manager because "everything is better with cheese". Wow, yikes. And that's the episode for this week.
Thoughts: It certainly wasn't as action-packed as other episodes, but I thought the backstory was interesting - Sam befriending a monster as a kid? Talk about conflict! And now, I'm sure Sam is going to find out Dean killed Amy, and there'll be a big fight about that. I'm also totally convinced that we haven't seen the last of Jacob; that kid seemed way too intense to just walk away. Is it weird that I actually missed Lucifer a little? He was entertaining, in a really twisted way. All in all, pretty good episode.
Next week: Egyptian god Osiris, who targets people who feel guilty. Sound like anyone we know? Oh right, Mr. Guilt Complex himself...Dean! And this guys not going easy - he's sicking Jo on Dean! The last time we saw Jo was "Abandon All Hope", when she got gutted by a hell hound and died just before Ellen sacrificed herself and blew up a building so Sam and Dean could make a clean getaway to kill Lucifer - which they couldn't pull off at the time...
