Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 16: “Don’t Go in the Woods”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 16, I remembered that I will never go in the woods pretty much ever. I’m not a fan of camping or hiking as it is and I’ve seen enough scary movies to convince me to stay far away from the woods after dark and this episode continued to reinforce that fear. Please note major spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Don’t Go in the Woods,” Sam and Dean investigate a case at Big Creek State Park in Iowa after a girl is brutally attacked by an “animal.” Meanwhile, Jack is given a mission of his own and meets up with Max and some of her friends. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 16 are:

“My mission is shopping.”

Sam and Dean decide that it may not be the best idea to have Jack tag along on their case right now since he has been going through quite a lot and they don’t really know if they can trust his powers just yet. However, Jack gets his own special mission, as Dean provides him with a very important shopping list for supplies, which includes beer, listed twice. I mean, it is pretty important, but I started to wonder what Jack would do for ID and it’s funny how this came up later on.

“The Ghostfacers are cool.”

So, I am a Supernatural fan for life and I love any excuse to mention the Ghostfacers. I was extremely excited to see a fun cameo from them in this episode. When Jack heads out on his important shopping mission, he runs into Max and some of her friends on the way. As a reminder, we saw Max and her friends in episode, “Lebanon,” earlier this season. One of Max’s friends is watching a video on his phone of the Ghostfacers and Jack says he has never heard of them. We get to see a quick clip of them saying, “Winchesters still suck ass though,” which is absolutely hilarious. I’d love to get another full Ghostfacer episode for sure and you can’t help loving their catchy theme song, which you can listen to here!

Max and her friends tell Jack that they know about the whole hunting thing and Jack tries to play it off by asking, “What’s a ghost?” Jack is relieved that they know about everything and it looks like he may get the chance to actually hang out with some kids his own age. Then again, he is only two…twenty…two.

“I can fix this.”

It initially seems like Jack is fitting in with his new group of friends, as he is extremely excited to invite them into the world of demons and monsters. Jack even shows off his abilities and is asked: “Dude, are you like a Jedi or something?” However, as this started, I began to worry that Jack was not in control of his powers and that the impact on his soul would prevent him from knowing where the line is. After Jack went a little bit crazy with the angel blade, one of the girls is accidentally stabbed. Jack is able to heal her, but his new friends tell him to stay away. Is Jack truly dangerous? I don’t think that Jack has bad intentions, but losing part of your soul and not understanding right from wrong is not something to be taken lightly, especially since Jack may be the most powerful being in the world right now.

“We hunt these things.”

As Sam and Dean investigate the case further, they realize that they may be dealing with a Kahunta. It means whistler and the Kahunta can certainly carry a creepy tune, which sort of reminded me of a darker version of Negan’s whistle from TWD. The sheriff in town seems to know a lot more than he is initially letting on and we find out that the Kahunta was actually made. It’s a curse and the being would always be starving unless he fed, but if he failed to, he would then be forced to feed on himself. The Kahunta is definitely not a looker and even has this burning type of ooze that drips from his mouth, which had my stomach turning. Sam and Dean work with the sheriff to stop him once and for all, but the sheriff tries to ask them why they don’t just tell people that monsters exist. Sam and Dean explain that knowing about monsters and fighting them are two different things and that people still ultimately die. I thought this moment was important and relevant, especially since it connected to what Jack is dealing with right now. Luckily, teamwork ends up panning out here and the Kahunta is taken out once and for all. “Gesundheit!”

“It was crappy of us not to tell you.”

After the encounter with the sheriff, Sam and Dean realize that they need to be honest with Jack about their concerns. Sam and Dean come clean with him and tell Jack that he deserves the truth. Jack says he understands and won’t use his powers without permission. However, Jack does not tell Sam and Dean about what happened, which is very concerning. Is Jack trying to protect himself or is there something else going on here? Either way, it’s not a good sign that he is keeping his family in the dark. Stay tuned! New episodes return April 4^th!

**Supernatural has announced that season 15 will be its last. 15 is a very lucky and significant number to me so although it is bitter sweet, I think it is the right call for the series to end after next season. Carry on my Wayward Son. SPN never really ends though, as it will continue to live on through its SPN family.

My performance of the week ending 3/16/19 on TV goes to…

Misha Collins as Castiel on Supernatural. Misha is always hilarious, but he often has to compete for the spotlight with Jared and Jensen. However, in this past week’s episode, “Peace of Mind,” Cass pretty much stole the show for me. He had so many laugh out loud moments and I loved the fact that he was left to figure out everything on his own, bringing us so much fun and entertainment along the way. Stand out lines include: “He has beautiful hair” and “God has a beard,” but I absolutely loved his performance this week!

What’s next for Cass? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out, but we know that The Empty is never too far away. Castiel has transformed so much since the beginning of the series and he really provides Jack with some amazing father-son advice. Castiel may not realize it just yet, but his humanity has been shining through for quite some time now. His bond with Dean is beautiful and heartwarming and he would do anything for his family, but he also understands how the world works and accepts consequences and sacrifices too, making him a truly remarkable character. Let’s not forget that he keeps us laughing as well, giving us some welcomed comic relief to break up the drama each week, which is very much appreciated. I can’t wait to see what Cass does next!

Stay tuned for a recognized performance on TV each week!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 15: “Yeah I told him about the Cardigan”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 15, I learned that living in a picturesque town is not always as perfect as it may seem, but gee golly, I thought it was swell to see Sam Winchester in some glasses with a snazzy cardigan. Please note major spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Peace of Mind,” Sam and Castiel team up to investigate a case in Arkansas, as Sam is in desperate need of a distraction. Meanwhile, Dean takes Jack on a field trip to go see our good pal, Donatello. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 15 are:

“I feel different now…not like before.”

After all of the chaos from last week’s episode, Jack seems to be coping well, but he recognizes that he doesn’t feel the same as before. Jack has his wings back and may now be the most powerful being in the world, but killing Michael must have taken a toll on his soul. Castiel is extremely worried about this, as Jack may not realize how important it is to maintain one’s soul. What will be unleashed as a result? We’ll have to wait and see, but the setup should not be ignored here.

“Like a ripe melon on the sun.”

Sam cannot sleep and wants to take on another case, but changes it up by going with Castiel. I have to say that I absolutely love this duo together, as Sam and Castiel investigate a mysterious death involving Conrad’s head exploding. They learn that Conrad was from the town of Charming Acres, which has a Pleasantville type feel or as Castiel comments, that he feels like they are “stepping into a Saturday Evening Post,” which Castiel finds very soothing before bedtime. Good to know! Sam and Castiel end up at Harrington’s diner and are urged to try one of their milk shakes. I mean, who doesn’t love a good milkshake? Castiel tries to strike up a conversation about the murder, but is a little bit too graphic with his description of a head exploding, as he hilariously tries to soften the blow by explaining it was “like a ripe melon on the sun.” Love the effort, Cass!

“WWWD aka What Would the Winchesters Do?”

After chatting about Dean’s love for bacon, Dean takes Jack on a field trip to figure out how much of his soul is gone. Jack is spending quite a bit of time with his new pet snake so perhaps a little time outside might be good for him. Dean takes Jack to Donatello, understanding that Donatello will probably be able to sense whether or not Jack has a soul. Donatello has a good talk with Jack and explains that he feels nothing and that “it’s an absence of pity, of empathy, of humanity.” Jack still doesn’t really know how he feels and Donatello gives him some advice, explaining that he thinks about what Mr. Rogers would do when he is in doubt, which is the best man he knows. Jack has no idea who Mr. Rogers is, but he does determine that Sam and Dean are the best men he knows, which is beyond touching. However, all is not completely right, as Jack takes his empathy to another level, disintegrating his snake with his mind so that he can be in heaven with his previous owner, as Castiel watches from afar with concern.

“He has beautiful hair.”

Castiel recognizes that something goes wrong in Charming Acres, as Sam now thinks he is Justin from the town. He completes his look with glasses, a cardigan, and his hair slicked back. Castiel doesn’t know if Sam is under a spell or mind control, but he tries his best to get through to him, but Sam tells him that he is Justin Smith and warns Castiel to watch his mouth. Sam tells his new wife to grab Castiel’s hat so he can leave, but Castiel hilariously explains that he doesn’t wear a hat. Luckily, the mind control is broken and the mayor of the town is forced to reside in his own happy place within his mind. I absolutely loved the interactions between Sam and Castiel here, which gave us some fun humor to break up the drama going on with Jack. More of this please!

“This is my home. This is our home.”

When Sam and Castiel return home, Sam is annoyed that Castiel told Dean about the cardigan, but I mean he really did pull it off well. Sam says that the happiness there wasn’t real and confides in Dean that he keeps seeing Maggie and the others, as the guilt and grief overwhelms him at home. Sam recognizes that he can’t keep running away; however, but will time really fix everything? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 14: “Everything Means Something”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 14, I learned that volatile magic is not to be taken lightly. Even if the big bad is gone, there is always a consequence and it might be one the Winchester brothers never see coming. Please note major spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Ouroboros,” Sam and Dean continue to try and track down a new threat with the assistance of Jack and Castiel. Rowena joins Team Winchester as well, but gets an uninvited guest who tries to break up the party. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 14 are:

“I’m on a first name basis with some psycho pen pal…”

During the episode, a new threat begins to leave corpses behind after he feasts on their organs. Gross. He uses venom to numb his victims before he starts his work and Sam and Dean have been trying to catch him for a little while now. We soon learn that the threat, Noah, has some kind of connection or interest in Dean, as he leaves behind a note for him with the victim’s body in the truck. Noah says he can see Dean, Sam, and Rowena, but he cannot detect Castiel or Jack for some reason, which means he cannot see angels. This gives Team Winchester the advantage, as they try to put a stop to him once and for all.

“I thought my performance was quite magnificent.”

It always is, Rowena, and it’s always wonderful to see our favorite witch on the show. Rowena tries to help the Winchester brothers defeat Noah and points out that there are other ways of doing things besides posing as the FBI, which is an excellent point. Rowena and Sam show up at the vet with their adorable dog, Jack, in order to get the anti-venom they need. This moment is a lot of fun for sure, but Rowena recognizes that something is not right with Jack and asks Sam what he did to him, feeling the volatile magic within. There are always consequences to everything and even Jack begins showing signs that he may be over abusing his powers.

“The hurt will remind you how much you loved them.”

In a touching moment, Castiel sits down with Jack to talk about everything and tries to explain that Sam and Dean are human and that they will eventually be gone and that they will need to carry on. He says that losing people is part of growing up, but Jack asks, “What’s the point?” Jack is still very naive and young in so many ways, but he has a big heart and he just wants to help the people he loves. Castiel really does a great job with the whole father-son speech, as he tells Jack that the point is that they were here and he got to know them. It may be awful, but it’s also part of living and this moment proves just how far Castiel has come from the beginning of the series. Castiel has shown so many signs of humanity, but we know that The Empty is still lingering around, waiting to take Castiel away once and for all. After all, happily ever after does not last very long on Supernatural.

“And you do care about them…so say yes.”

After Noah is defeated, Dean will not wake up and everyone begins to panic. Dean eventually wakes up screaming, as we find out that Michael is gone from his mind. Maggie and the others in the bunker are killed and Michael possesses Rowena. Castiel says that Rowena would have never said yes, but Michael plays on her own growing humanity, as he tells her that he will kill everyone she cares about if she doesn’t say yes. The choice is up to her, but Rowena ultimately does this to try and protect her friends, which proves that Rowena may not be a villain anymore after all. However, there is that pesky prophecy about Sam killing her in the end.

“I am a Winchester…you won’t hurt anyone ever again.”

Jack refuses to stand by and do nothing, as he uses his powers to kill Michael and free Rowena. Jack’s wings return and he says, “I’m me again,” but at what cost? Volatile magic is not something to be taken lightly and Jack may have just released an even bigger threat than Michael. Does this mean that Jack’s soul is gone? What other consequences will emerge? There are still so many unanswered questions, but I have to say that I am really happy that Michael is gone once and for all. I felt like this story-line was over a long time ago and was being dragged out, so it’s nice to see this threat eliminated, but this is also not the end that Billie predicted. Has Jack changed the course of fate? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 13: “Who’s Been Playing Back to the Future?”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 13, I was so unbelievably happy with the 300^th episode of this brilliant show. The Winchester brothers have been through so much together and it often seems like they don’t really get a break. However, this episode marked a milestone for the show and gave us the chance to see one of the most heartwarming moments of the entire series. Please note major spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Lebanon,” Sam and Dean stumble upon some occult items and realize that they have the opportunity to make one of their wishes come true. While they could have never guessed what they would end up with, they quickly realize that there are consequences to altering timelines, but are they ready to go back to reality? My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 13 are:

“Baby, please tell me you’re not hurt…”

In the beginning of the episode, several teenagers are hilariously commenting on Sam and Dean’s presence and ask, “Where do they even come from?” A girl named Max decides to take Dean’s beloved car for a ride, but it seems like the teens are just looking for some fun in a small town. After tracking the teens down to an abandoned house at a party, Dean is beyond relieved to see that Baby is OK and so am I! Either way, it was very funny to see the commentary on Sam and Dean and what they could possibly be up to now, which I thought was a fun and clever way to pay tribute to the fans who have been watching the Winchester brothers for 300 episodes.

“A serial killer clown…”

Poor Sam. Sam and Dean quickly realize that the teens took the box of occult items out of the car and a “serial killer clown” is unleashed, which is beyond terrifying for Sam. We know that Sam does just fine with serial killers, but a clown is an entirely different story. I thought this was a fun throwback as well to some of the earlier episodes where we witness Sam’s overwhelming fear of clowns. Maybe we needed to throw in a Yorkie chasing Dean to even the score, however. Either way, it was a lot of fun and I was immediately drawn in to some SPN nostalgia.

“I don’t know that reference.”

During the episode, Sam and Dean discover that they have a pearl that will grant them their “heart’s desire.” Dean wants to use it to cast Michael out of his head, but the pearl discovers something else that Dean has been longing for all this time. However, while this wish takes place, it alters the Winchester’s timeline and we discover that Castiel no longer knows the Winchester brothers and he certainly doesn’t know any references either. Zachariah, played by Kurt Fuller, is also alive and well, but immediately recognizes that someone has been playing “Back to the Future.” Either way, I thought this was a fun guest appearance and it really made me think about how far Castiel has come with understanding pop culture references. I mean, he did learn a lot from that pizza man…

“You run a law firm and love kale.”

As Sam and Dean discover that they have created a “temporal paradox,” they realize that they are also in danger of changing into these alternate timeline characters. While Dean has his “Blue Steel” look down pat for his most wanted picture, Sam has become “internet famous,” although I have to say that I really liked Sam’s glasses. I’m not so sure about the raw food diet, however. Either way, the Winchester brothers realize that they have to change things back or they will face further consequences, but are they ready to say goodbye to who they summoned?

“One family dinner…all together.”

I tried to contain this spoiler as much as possible until we reached the number one moment, but I’m sure that you have already discovered that John Winchester has returned, played by the absolutely brilliant, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I mean, you can’t top this special guest appearance. Happy 300^th episode everyone! When Dean wished for what his heart most desires, I almost fell off my couch when he asked, “Dad?” and John Winchester appeared on my screen. I have been waiting to see John return for quite some time and we know that characters tend to not stay gone for long on this show even if they have died before. After all, we have resurrection spells, characters returning from hell or purgatory, and characters in another dimension. However, John Winchester has not been one of those characters to return, even though I have wished for it so many times before.

Even though Sam and Dean realize that they need to return everything as it was to keep their reality intact, they decide to have one family dinner all together. The reunion between Mary and John was beyond beautiful and romantic, as I had tears in my eyes the entire time. Sam finally got to talk to his Dad about their previous argument and Dean’s wish of having a family dinner all together came true, which was truly the most magical and heartwarming moment I have ever witnessed on the show. Even though John could not stay, he reminded his sons to take care of each other and we know that they will continue to do so for the rest of time. I was so incredibly moved by this episode and I couldn’t have asked for anything more to celebrate 300 amazing episodes with my SPN family. Stay tuned! New episodes return March 7^th!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 12: “Prophet and Loss”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 12, I realized that “if there’s a spark or hope, you have to try.” Even if it seems impossible, sometimes you just have to keep trying for those around you. They aren’t going to give up on you so maybe you shouldn’t give up either, Dean Winchester. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Prophet and Loss,” Sam and Dean go on one last case, but Sam is not ready to give up on his brother just yet. Meanwhile, Nick continues to search for his purpose. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 12 are:

“I know you’re scared.”

In the beginning of the episode, Sam tries to talk with Dean, but Dean brushes off his feelings and says it doesn’t matter. Only it does matter to Sam and it really should matter to Dean as well, but we know that Dean is not good at letting his emotions out. However, he may not get the chance to tell Sam how he really feels if he is buried in a coffin alive…forever. I can’t even imagine.

“One last case for the Winchester boys…”

Let’s hope not, especially since Supernatural has just been renewed for season 15. Yay! Luckily, the episode does not focus entirely on Dean’s morbid goodbye. The brothers have a case and learn that the ancient language has been carved into victims, suggesting that there is a prophet connection here. We quickly learn that there is a killer prophet, Tony Alvarez, on the loose, who was supposed to be next in line after Donatello. After Tony takes his own life, Sam and Dean realize that they need to find out what is going on with the prophet line before it’s too late.

“You chose Lucifer.”

During the episode, Nick escapes the hospital and ends up returning home. The ghost of his wife, Sarah, tries to get Nick to see the light, but all he desires is darkness. Nick desperately wants Lucifer to return to him, suggesting that is what he has wanted this entire time. The void inside Nick is not from missing his family, as he is too far gone to even really understand that he could help his wife’s spirit move on if he would just let go of Lucifer. Nick is unable to do so, which suggests that Lucifer can’t be buried forever. But when will he make his return?

“Mr. Winchester and the other Mr. Winchester.”

Castiel hilariously poses as a doctor, but still needs to work on his cover story. But that’s why we adore him so much. After Donatello wakes up, Castiel has a heart-to-heart talk with Dean and tells him that he won’t sit by and watch him execute this suicidal plan. Castiel’s love for Dean is unconditional and it’s clear that he cares about him more than anything else in the world. Dean is very stubborn, but he has to understand that he has friends and family members who will do anything for him.

“I believe in us.”

At the end of the episode, Sam refuses to take it anymore and tells Dean that “we’re the guys who save the world. We don’t just check out of it.” Sam feels like Dean is quitting on him and he puts everything out on the table, desperately trying to get through to his brother. Sam even punches Dean, which shows how far he is willing to go. Sam cannot keep his emotions bottled inside and his love for his brother is truly touching. Dean finally agrees that he will try and find another way, but expects Sam to stick by his side if he does need to ultimately check out of this world. I have to say that Jared Padalecki’s performance here was very moving, as he touched my heart and soul and even caused me to shed a few tears of my very own. Now that Dean is back in the game, where do they go from here? Rowena has been trying to find out information to no avail, but is there someone else out there who can help? Stay tuned!

When Kallie Bennett, a jaded teenage girl plagued by her alcoholic mother and her peers molded out of sheer bubble gum perfection, chases after Alice in Wonderland herself, she ends up lost in her own version of Wonderland, which forces her to face her utmost fears and introduces her to familiar characters with a dark twist. Among these characters is Ches, a gorgeous vampire with a conflicted conscience, who becomes Kallie’s guide and blossoming love interest. She also crosses paths with Queen Hartley, a manipulative witch who has the power to strip away one’s memories and imagination, which brings a bone chilling new meaning to “off with their heads.” In The Search for Alice, Kallie starts to realize that her Wonderland is just as frightening as her own reality and that she cannot always run away from her problems. She must figure out a way to defeat Queen Hartley and return home before it is too late, but she soon learns that escaping Wonderland means leaving Ches behind forever.

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 11: “It’s the Only Sane Play I’ve Got”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 11, I realized that sometimes we are faced with an impossible choice. We always want to see the good in others and find another solution, but what happens when there is no other way? Do we give up and support the ones we love or do we keep fighting and risk it all? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Damaged Goods,” Dean visits Donna and Mary, as he prepares himself for what’s to come. Meanwhile, Nick continues to hunt down Abraxas and Sam is left with a difficult decision to make. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 11 are:

“Best burger ever.”

On the way to visit his mom, Dean stops to visit Sheriff Donna and it’s always wonderful to see her. I absolutely love the friendship between these two and Donna quickly realizes that something is going on with Dean, but is he ready to let anyone in yet? Either way, it’s nice to see these two reunite over a quick meal.

“Winchester Surprise.”

So what exactly is in the “Winchester Surprise” meal other than a lot of grease? I’m not really sure, but I think it’s absolutely adorable that Dean remembers this meal and takes the time to reminisce with his mother, Mary. Other than the greasy meal, Dean reminds her about getting some pie as well. While this moment is sweet and heartwarming, it feels like a goodbye and Mary is completely aware that Dean is planning something, but it doesn’t seem like anyone will be able to talk him into a new plan, especially since Billie revealed so much to Dean about what his future holds.

“You’re a long way from Delaware, Nick.”

Nick is back in this episode and he is looking to track down Mary, learning that she faced Abraxas a long time ago. In case you forgot, Nick discovered that the demon, Abraxas, was responsible for the death of his family. After a run in with Donna, Nick tracks down Mary and she brings him to the box that she trapped Abraxas in. Nick is clearly running on pure revenge at this point, but is he willing to destroy everyone in his path to get what he wants?

“Showtime.”

What’s in the box? Meet Abraxas. Abraxas is ready to reveal his motive to Nick, but asks him to kill Mary first. Luckily, Sam and Dean show up before Mary is harmed, but Nick is not about to leave until he gets what he wants. Abraxas reveals that he was just following orders, stating that Lucifer had set this plan in motion a long time ago. This answer does not really satisfy Nick, but I’m not sure that anything would at this point, but is he too far gone? Sam seems to want to still believe in him, but I’m not sure that there is any humanity left within Nick.

“It’s the only sane play I’ve got.”

At the end of the episode, we learn that Dean has been building a box to trap Michael in, but this means that he would be trapped inside along with him for eternity. For those of you who predicted this alternate ending, congrats! I want to give a special shout out to MsMoonshine on Quiz Up who predicted this theory in the Supernatural thread. Way to go! Sam is not initially on board with this plan, especially when he finds out that Dean will be trapped in the box in the middle of the ocean. Dean explains that he initially didn’t tell Sam because he is the only one who can talk him out of it, but he is going through with the plan to save the world. Sam agrees to help him, but is there another way? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 10: “This Is My Dream”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 10, I realized that a serious case of déjà vu may not be that bad, but what happens when that loop continues to repeat over and over again until you just can’t take it anymore? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Nihilism,” Sam and Castiel enter Dean’s mind to try and help save him before Michael suppresses him for good. Meanwhile, Michael reveals his end game and Jack taps into something powerful and dangerous. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 10 mid-season premiere are:

“Dean’s not home right now. Please leave a message…”

In this episode, Michael has taken control over Dean once again and the dapper wardrobe re-emerges as well. Even though Michael looks polished and charming as Dean on the outside, he is not playing nice and is ready to unleash his monster army on the world. Michael even threatens Sam and tells him, “The last thing you’ll see is this pretty smile as I rip you apart.” While I agree that it is a lovely smile indeed, Michael is ready to destroy the world, using Dean as his vessel of choice, but will Sam be able to save Dean before it’s too late?

“This world…nothing but failed drafts.”

So, the writer in me was really digging Michael’s comparison here, but I’m not sure that a bunch of failed drafts mean that we need to wipe the slate clean entirely, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Either way, in this moment, Michael finally reveals a little bit about his end game, which involves tracking down Chuck/God and killing him. I guess it’s important to have goals, but it seems like Michael is taking things a little bit too personally, but we’ll have to wait and see how this unfolds.

“I didn’t know he could still do that angel stuff.”

That angel stuff indeed, Maggie, as Jack takes out the monsters that begin attacking the hunters as if it were no big deal. Now that Jack has given up a part of his soul, there are unforeseen consequences lurking here. Castiel warns Jack that he could lose himself if he continues to tap into this power. Jack seems willing to listen to Castiel here, but there is some definite foreshadowing going on for sure.

“Poughkeepsie.”

So, the Winchester brothers definitely brought back some SPN nostalgia for us in this episode. In Dean’s mind or loop, he is running his bar, “Rocky’s Bar,” with the help of Pamela. Pamela was blinded and died earlier on Supernatural, but it’s always fun to see a familiar face, even if it’s in some kind of wacky time loop. Nice to see you, Pamela! When Sam and Castiel enter Dean’s mind, they realize that Dean is being distracted by a loop of contentment. It doesn’t seem like they will have any luck getting through to Dean, but Sam is not ready to lose hope and simply says, “Poughkeepsie.” Sure, it’s a town in New York, but Supernatural fans will also remember that this is a code word that Sam and Dean use, basically meaning, “drop everything and run.” The code word works like a charm and Dean’s memories come rushing back to him. Dean realizes that he has the power in his mind and is able to trap Michael for now, but it’s only a matter of time before Michael finds a way to break free.

“What am I supposed to do with this?”

It seems like everything is back to normal for now, only Billie makes a special guest appearance to shake things up. Billie has been warning Sam and Dean for quite some time now, but Dean has really been making things difficult by jumping from world to world, which has consequences. Billie explains that Dean used to have endless books filled with possible ways that he could die. However, his actions have now led to them all having the same ending, involving Michael using Dean to end the world. Only there is one other possible ending, which is not revealed to us just yet. Based on Dean’s reaction, I’m guessing that it must involve sacrificing someone he truly loves. Does this mean Sam or Castiel or Jack? I’m not sure, but the possibilities could be endless here. I would love to hear some of your theories on what you think this alternate ending says. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 9: “Happy Holidays”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 9, I realized that the holidays are about hope, love, giving, and family. But what happens when you lose that hope? Are you lost forever or is there a sliver of it still dimming in the dark? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “The Spear,” Michael gathers his army in Kansas City and Garth attempts to work undercover, but is in way over his head. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean split up to try and track down weapons that will hurt Michael. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 9 mid-season finale are:

“Cookietacular is the secret password.”

In the beginning of the episode, Jack and Castiel have a heartwarming talk and we learn that Sam and Dean do not know about Castiel’s deal with “The Empty.” Castiel tries to explain to Jack that they don’t need that burden. He further reveals that “this life may be a lot of things, but it’s rarely happy.” However, on the bright side, they do have “Crunch Cookie Crunch,” which actually looks pretty appetizing. Castiel may think he has a lot of time left, but we know that “The Empty” will not stay gone for long. It seems like everyone on the show wants to protect someone else from knowing the truth, but perhaps some openness can allow our favorite characters to prepare for the worst in advance?

“You put the only weapon we have against Michael in the mail?”

Ketch calls in to well…catch up and to also fill the Winchester brothers in on the status of the egg, which is a weapon that can harm Michael. Everyone is very short on time, but Ketch decided to put this important weapon in the mail. The post office is closed for the holidays, which gives Sam and Jack a chance to track it down before it winds up in the wrong hands, but they quickly realize that Michael is one step ahead of them. Jack is captured by Michael and Sam is injured, which puts everyone on edge, as they realize that they are running out of time. So, maybe the mail was not such a great idea. Just saying Ketch.

“I gotta be on the winning side.”

Garth is back and is working undercover to help Sam and Dean fight Michael, but perhaps he is in a little bit over his head. Michael recognizes Garth, but allows him to “volunteer,” which means that he will need to take Michael’s amped-up archangel grace. Garth initially thinks that he can fool Michael, but is forced to swallow every last drop. Later on, Garth’s transformation begins and he attacks Sam. Sam is able to knock him out for now, but hopefully someone has a cure for him. Either way, it’s always nice to see a familiar face on Supernatural.

“So if you’re not gonna give it to me…kill me.”

After Michael destroys the egg, there is only one weapon left that we know will harm Michael. Dean tracks down other Kaia, who is not about to let her spear go without a fight. Dean reasons with her and asks for her help and Kaia agrees. Kaia wants something in return; however, and asks for Jack to open the door again so that she can return to her world. Dean agrees without hesitation, even though we know that Jack has lost his powers, but I guess it’s one crisis at a time for now.

“Impossible odds…feels like home.”

After we learn that Michael’s plan is to turn every single person in Kansas City, our favorite characters are ready to face him and stop him once and for all. Dean valiantly fights against Michael with the spear, but Michael knows exactly what he is doing. In a twist, Michael possesses Dean again and destroys the spear. He explains that he wanted to bury Dean and destroy every last inch of his hope. Dean is gone and Michael now has an army waiting and ready for Michael’s signal, which is Dean snapping his fingers. We will have to wait until January 17^th for new episodes, but I am slightly disappointed that we are back to the possession story-line again. While I knew that there had to be a reason for Michael letting Dean go, I feel like this has already been done. It looks like Sam, Castiel, and Jack will need to tap into Dean’s mind to free him somehow, but I’m not that invested in this. I’m hoping that we get some more campy horror fun and some screen time for Rowena and Nick/Lucifer. Stay tuned for new episodes in the New Year!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 8: “Take Me”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 8, I realized that it’s important for us to tip the scale toward doing the right thing. Whether that means sacrificing something for someone you love or just being a good person in general, you never know what’s waiting for you on the other side of hell…or the empty. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Byzantium,” Jack appears to be lost for good, but Sam is not ready to let go just yet. Meanwhile, Castiel makes the ultimate sacrifice. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 14 episode 8 are:

“Tonight we get loaded.”

In the beginning of the episode, Jack is gone and Sam, Dean, and Castiel handle their grief in very different ways. Sam is really impacted by the loss, but Dean recognizes that he needs his space and later suggests that they all “get loaded” to celebrate Jack. This leads to a heartwarming moment, as our three favorite guys all take a few minutes to let loose and remember the good times with Jack.

“Something’s wrong.”

After Jack’s soul leaves his body, he detects that something is very wrong. He walks through the familiar hallways of heaven, but some kind of darkness begins chasing him. Remember the empty? Well it’s back and looking for another angel to claim after Castiel managed to escape its wrath. The empty will not stop until it obtains Jack and it doesn’t care what or who it destroys along the way, which puts all of heaven at risk.

“You got old…”

Lily Sunder returns, only she is a lot older now, which catches Dean slightly off guard. Sam summons her, hoping that she can help decipher Kevin’s prophet tablet, but she is unable to do so. That doesn’t mean that she is completely useless; however, as she is able to use her magic to resurrect Jack, but it does come with a price. We learn that a small piece of Jack’s soul will be taken, which doesn’t seem like a big deal initially, but this is Supernatural. We know that this will play a bigger part later on, but Sam and Dean are ready to accept any potential consequences to help Jack at this point. Lily is looking to trade and is hoping to obtain a get into heaven free card in return, but it initially seems like this is not in the cards for her. Lily later dies when she performs the ritual and does end up getting into heaven so that she can be reunited with her daughter, which reminds us that it’s never too late to do the right thing.

“I’m your son.”

When Jack’s soul is on the other side, he winds up in Kelly’s “best best memories” and gets the opportunity to meet his mother, which is a really touching moment. Kelly is so happy to see Jack, but she also recognizes that he is too young to die and panics, explaining that Castiel promised to keep him safe. Jack is ready to return to his body, understanding that his mother will be there waiting for him, but I think that this moment was really important for Jack. Jack has been searching for so many answers about where he came from and he finally got the opportunity to have a moment with his mother, which is something that he will never forget. Let’s just hope that missing piece of his soul doesn’t turn him on a path of darkness and destruction…

“Take me.”

After we learn that the empty has returned, Castiel recognizes that this is both a threat to heaven and to Jack. Castiel makes a dangerous deal with the empty and offers to take Jack’s place. The empty is clearly still very interested in claiming Castiel and accepts. Castiel is ready to turn himself over, but the empty explains that it is not ready to take him and that it will wait until Castiel is truly happy before ripping him away from everything he cares about. We don’t know when the empty will return, but Castiel may not be able to get out of this one. Either way, his courage is commendable and he is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Jack returns to his body and is reunited with his family and Castiel is informed about Michael’s location. What’s next for Sam and Dean? Well they still need to track down dark Kaia and stop Michael somehow, but I’m hoping to get some more fun episodes along the way, similar to the Halloween one. We could use some good old fashioned Winchester fun for sure. Stay tuned!
