Opening Thoughts: I don't even know where to begin. I guess I should start with "*sniff* Our little Sammy's finally growing up!" Man, I would've loved to be in the writing room when they came up with this one! Sam getting married...wow. I can't wait to see who'll walk down the aisle with him - sources say it's a lady we're familiar with! Enough speculation; on to the episode!
When we left off, the boys finally had it out over Amy. Oh boy, we're bringing Chuck and Becky back into this! Does this mean Becky's the bride?!?!
Open in Vegas, on a bartender's short-shorts. Of course Dean's chatting her up in some strip club. He digs smart chicks? C'mon boy, I'm right here! Sorry, I'm hopelessly in love with a fictional man...*sigh*. Dean spills his problems in carefully-coded language. Dean's cell phone interrupts. Sam's four blocks away, and wants Dean to bring a suit.
Oh sweet Jesus, it's a Vegas chapel. The lights start to flicker, but they might just be old and crappy. Dean draws his gun and approaches the door. Sam opens it from the other side and brings Dean up to the altar. He actually pins a flower on Dean's lapel. Dean asks what's going on with the case. Sammy says he's in love, and he's getting married! You heard me - married! Dean is stunned. The bride enters. Oh my God, it's got to be Becky. It is! What the hell is going on here?!?!
Dean's a little pissed that he wasn't in on this. Understandable. Sam says he and Becky met up, ate, and fell in love. Dean asks them if they've forgotten to seemingly every woman Sam sleeps with. Seriously, there has to be a love potion or something at work here! Dean thinks it's suspicious too; after all, it's only been 4 days. Sam is acting so out of character...Dean calls Bobby to fill him in. He gets in the Impala impostor (when will they bring our baby back?).
Apparently Becky wants to bring Sam to her high school reunion. There are definitely some ulterior motives at work here. We're introduced to Becky's friend Guy, who doesn't look all that happy to see Sam. Becky and Guy "hug" and he passes her a vial of something. He's a Wiccan. I KNEW something was up! If only you could hear me pounding on my keys with smug satisfaction right now.
Dean rolls into town and stops at the bar. He spies an article about a freak truck accident.
At Becky's apartment, Sam and Becky are having a romantic dinner. She's all sexied-up in a satin nightie. "Saving it"? Does she mean the nightie or her virginity? All of a sudden, Sam appears to snap out of it. Becky quickly dumps some of the love potion in his champagne and dopes him up again. What is wrong with this crazy chick? Sam goes back to being perfect hubby.
Cut to batting practice. Some creepy dude watches and works some mojo on the pitching machine. Million mile an hour fastball to the head spells the end for the batter. Indiscriminate blood spatter on the camera this time. Nice touch.
Dean rings the doorbell at Becky's place, holding a barely gift-wrapped waffle iron. He gives it to Sam and says there's a case. Apparently the guy that got killed by the truck won the lottery, and the guy at batting practice suddenly got very good at baseball. Why is Becky talking in such a man voice? Dean's still not buying this happily married crap. Becky gets extremely defensive. Dean thinks it's part of the case, what with people's dream coming true and all. Sam accuses Dean of being jealous that Sam doesn't need him anymore. When will this stuff wear off again?!
Bobby is not available, so he sends Dean to another hunter. Becky colors in her diary of crazy. Dude, she's a nut. Oh no, Sam made her a fake press pass, all the better to investigate the new case: a guy who jumped from junior salesman to CEO. Sam found the diary of crazy, and he loves it. Dear God, I'm going to be ill.
Dean goes to meet up with the other hunter. Looks like it could be anybody in this place, but it's not; it's DJ Qualls! Haha nice, open with a remark about Dean's height. Sounds like Bobby's got a mess of his own in Oregon. Dean wants to get right down to business, but the other guy wants to read the comics. They go to investigate the CEO, but Sam and Becky have beaten them to the punch. Well this is awkward. Sam says the guy's clean, and the Becky's a natural at hunting. Dean and Garth go in to see the guy anyway. They asked him how he got the job. He tells them it was offered to him, passing over his supervisors, without any specific reason. Wow, Garth sucks at subtlety. A lot. The CEO tells them that he didn't really want the job. His wife, however, seems to be very pleased with this promotion. The CEO says if he resigns, the news would just - "kill her?" finishes Garth. Dean and Garth chase down the wife and ask what she did to get her husband the promotion. She doesn't seem to know anything.
While Sam works the case, Becky looks for honeymoon spots. The love potion wears off again, but uh oh, Becky's out!
Back at the office, the creepy dude from batting practice tries to drop a large lighting fixture on the CEO's wife. Dean pulls her out of the way. The wife tells her she sold her soul. Garth is confused; demon deals are usually good for 10 years.
At Becky's apartment, Sam's a little woozy from the love potion and a little freaked to discover that he and Becky are married. Before he can call Dean, Becky clocks him with the waffle iron. Question: how did she even reach his head? He's like a foot taller than her!
Okay Fox News, it's a bit sexist to imply (or just outright say) that only guys are excited about the Skyrim launch. Granted I am not one of the ladies who is, but I have a female friend who is becoming a shut-in to play Skyrim this weekend!
Sam wakes up in a strange room, in a strange cabin, tied to the bed. Becky hovers like a helicopter of crazy. Oh dear, she took his pants off. This girl is fucking nuts! She starts skyping Guy. So this is her parents' cabin. She tells Guy she needs more love potion and asks if it's wearing off faster and faster. Oh thank God, they haven't had sex! Guy agrees to give her a refill. Understandably, Sam is pissed as hell. Yes Becky, this is pretty much exactly the same thing as a roofie. Sam things Guy's the one killing people. Except he's not. Hahaha Spanish Fly...oh Sammy, you're lucky it's not Fly. Becky says the potion wouldn't work unless Sam really loved her, deep, deep down. Keep dreaming sister. She gags Sam and leaves to meet up with Guy, who is setting up the reunion. All of a sudden, the love potion isn't free anymore. But he doesn't want money; he wants her soul. Guy's a Crossroads Demon. Don't do it, Becky! You're stupid, but you're not that stupid! Becky starts a would-be confrontation, but Guy turns on the charm and offers her 25 years instead of the usual 10. Please do not do this! No, she didn't! Please tell me she didn't!
Dean and Garth break into Becky's apartment. Jesus, does this guy think he's still on Memphis Beat? Becky's Twitter reveals that she and "the hubster" are on a "romantic trip". Dean spots a picture of the cabin. Atta boy!
Becky goes back to the cabin. Looks like Sam's not in love! She gets all weepy about how she wanted everyone at the reunion to think she was happy. Sam attempts to speak, but it's just muffle noises. Becky cuddles up to Sam and carries on about how she's a loser. Yes, you are. Now please untie Sammy. She goes on a fangirl-ish speech about how things were amazing with Chuck (whatever happened to them?). Oh, Chuck dumped her. Right sweetheart, your "vibrant sexuality" was what did it. Definitely not the raging crazy. She finally removes the gag and lets Sam talk. He tries to be all reassuring, telling her she's better than this. No, she really isn't. Becky goes back to the reunion, which is over. Guy repeats his offer; Becky says she's in. Wait, WHAT?!?! If she's read every Supernatural book, she should know only a dumbass would sell their soul!
Guy tells Becky she's making the right choice. She goes in for the kiss, but instead lights up a Devil's Trap in the carpet. Dude, that was kind of awesome! Guy gets all snarky and asks for Dean's autograph. Dean pulls out the knife and says he'll carve it into Guy's spleen. Finally, I LOL. Guy tells them he's exploiting a loophole in the demon contract and "arranging accidents" trhough a "capable intern". The creepy dude shows up and knocks everybody across the room. Dean tries to start the exorcism, but Guy starts choking him. Creepy dude goes totally Darth Vader on Sam, but Becky sticks the knife through his chest and kills him. Wow, she's earning some major points here. Sam tosses the knife to Dean, who tells Guy to call off his deals. And then Crowley shows up. Of course Becky goes fangirl. Whoa, he's got facial hair now. I like it. And he's insulting as usual. Crowley is not pleased with what Guy's been doing. "This isn't Wall Street; this is HELL! We have a little thing called INTEGRITY." Oh my God, I love Crowley right now. He tells Dean to hand Guy over so he can make an example of him. Apparently he's been keeping his demons away from Sam and Dean so they can take down the Leviathans. It never ceases to amaze me what Crowley will do to serve his own interests. Crowley breaks the deals and disappears with Guy. Garth, who had been unconscious the whole time, finally comes to.
Aww, are there really on 10 minutes left? I was just starting to enjoy this one!
Finally, Sam and Becky are getting an annulment! Dammit Becky, sign the papers! "So, I'll see you again?" "Yeah, probably not." I just LOL'd so hard at that. Sam tires to convince Becky she's not a loser, but it's not going so well. Yikes, I just had the creepiest thought: Becky and Garth. Oh holy shit, it's happening. I think I really am psychic. Maybe.
Outside, the boys say their goodbyes to Garth, who needs a lesson in personal space. "Aww, you made a fwiend." Damn, Jared's got all the good lines tonight! The boys talk. Sam admits he does need Dean, and Dean admits Sam might not need him. So, have we established anything? No. Sam tells Dean he should take care of himself; that much is certainly true. The boys get in the car and drive away, leaving this fangirl with a smile.
Final Thoughts: I was slow to warm up to this episode, mostly because it was slow to get to the action! And because of Becky. She's always annoyed me. I will admit she did have a somewhat kick-ass moment with the Devil's Trap and stabbing ponytail demon, but she's still the kind of obnoxious nutcase that gives fangirls everywhere a bad name. I really liked the end of the episode, especially because Jared had me cracking up. He's got the best deadpan! I'm glad to see it looks like our boys are getting along again. Now if we could just get the Impala back...
Next Week: The Jersey Devil? The last place I heard about that was on Cake Boss. I kid you not. At first, I thought it was going to be another Wendigo, but it seems like a similar concept. Oh please tell me Dean will mock Jersey Shore endlessly!
