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.

4

“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!

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 13 episode 11: “Breakdown.”

Happy Friday TV fans! The weekend is almost here, but my day would not be complete without discussing our favorite brothers:  The Winchesters.  After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 13 episode 11 last night, online auctions have a whole new meaning for me, as Sam and Dean dealt with something well beyond the routine bidding on eBay.  You may want to think again about how badly you want to procure that collectible item.  Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet.  In last night’s episode, “Breakdown,” Sheriff Donna returns when her niece, Wendy has gone missing.  Even though it doesn’t initially seem like anything supernatural is going on, she is still relying on the help of Sam and Dean.  We are also re-introduced to Donna’s love interest, Doug, who is quickly thrown into a world of monsters and mayhem which may be too much for him to handle.  My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 13 episode 11 are:

Dean explains the importance of pancakes.

Sam is clearly still in a rut after everything that happened with “The Bad Place,” learning that their mother, Mary is still trapped with Jack in another world.  Sam tosses and turns in bed, refusing to wake up until after 10am, worrying Dean, who is typically the one you would imagine to sleep in on a rainy day.  Dean refuses to let his brother stew in his own misery, however; as he tries to distract him and cheer him up, even making a breakfast complete with pancakes.  When Sam tells him he isn’t hungry, Dean feels the need to go into a big brother lecture on the importance of pancakes, keeping the vibe light, but also reminding Sam that he is there for him and won’t give up.  While it seems like a small gesture, Dean knows his brother better than anyone else in the world, proving to be a good friend and an even better brother.

Dean has a heart-to-heart chat with Doug.

When Sam and Dean show up to help Donna find her niece, they seamlessly embrace their familiar identities as FBI agents looking to do the right thing and help their…cousin.  Dean senses that the FBI agent he is talking to my check up on him so he backs off and lets him take charge, explaining that he is there for moral support and to get to the bottom of what happened to his family member.  Doug proves not to be the sharpest tool in the shed when he believes that Donna and Dean are actually related, comically inquiring about the recent family reunion.  Doug innocently seeks out some advice from Dean about Donna and Dean even teaches him “that’s how we do things in the FBI,” bringing him along for the ride to track down the killer.

“It’s like eBay…kinda.”

Once the Winchesters stumble onto the Butterfly’s website, they are appalled by what they see.  There is an online auction going on while a victim is strapped to a chair, as the bids climb higher and higher, competing over body parts.  Sam realizes that they are chatting about the parts as if they were food…leading to the conclusion that it’s basically “take out for monsters.”  They discover there is something supernatural at play here after all, re-thinking their strategy on how they will rescue Donna’s niece and stop the evil in the nick of time.

2

“Bring it Twilight.”

Once the tables are turned on the Winchesters and they realize they are dealing with vampires, Sam is taken hostage and Doug is turned into a vampire to Donna’s horror.  Dean is not afraid of the vampire cashier boy in the slightest, whipping out his blade and giving fans a catchy pun we can all appreciate, “bring it Twilight.”  While there is hope for Doug to get a cure before he is permanently changed, our attention quickly shifts to Sam’s safety when we learn that the bids are hitting some new records.  Vampire and monster bidders everywhere relish the idea of snacking on the hunter, Sam Winchester and are looking to win the auction no matter what the cost is.  The FBI agent reveals that he was the Butterfly killer all along, spinning a horrifying story about how he actually thinks he is saving lives by keeping the vampires occupied so they are not roaming the streets.  Sam’s heart gets auctioned for an impressive $500K but the show is over and Dean comes in to save the day, shutting down bids everywhere.

Doug can’t handle a life with monsters.

While I was relieved to see that Doug was alright, something in my gut told me that we wouldn’t be seeing him again.  While he has a sweet and loving relationship with Donna, he could already feel the void as if she had been keeping something from him.  When he gets tossed head first into the horrifying world of monsters, it’s too much for Doug to handle.  He clearly cares for Donna, but he wants something normal and routine…something that Donna can’t give him because this is more than a job for her, it’s a calling.  While this sets the path for Donna to embrace her new destiny with the “Wayward Sisters,” I can’t help feeling incredibly sad for her.  Donna deserves love and happiness but understands his decision.  Sam and Dean are all too familiar with a life on the road away from attachments, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be there for emotional support, helping each other along the way.
