#rewatch potential

Ohhhh, first meta episode! Yeeeees. Highly recommend checking out the trivia for this episode on imdb, there's so much more going on than I even realised!

MotW: dude making ghosts kill people on a movie set

Gilmore Girls! Love this so much

"It's practically Canadian" very nice, this is great

And the studio feedback, of course. Knowing that these are things the writers have actually been told makes it so much funnier

Dean is SUCH a geek, he has some serious fanboy knowledge of these movies, I love him

HA

The superhearing thing, my god

Seriously, the suit is hilariousy awful. Kind of amazing that they were allowed to do this!

I MEAN WOW

Dean getting so into his PA job, can't he just stay there after this case and stop hunting and find some sort of normal life and be happy and in this essay I will..

HA, now that's how you work in Bobby Singer (what a dick) YOU'RE NOT WRONG

"It's not that we like him or anything" they're really laying it on thick with McG aren't they?

This looks so freaking stupid i love it

Always nice when the mosters being controlled take care of the human so the brothers don't have to kill him

DEAN YOU DIDN'T

Freaking great ending

MotW: kinda rowena

Any Cas? Yesssss

Any Jack? Nope

"Hello, tweetie-pie" and calling Cas handsome, so very true Rowena!

"You know she's right. You never go to parties." 😊

Well, she sure is living it up, dancing, setting people on fire. My queen ❤

This is a very 'husbands' scene

"Ball-handler" :')

Oh come on Dean, like you've never fried someone who looked human

"Just don't get dead again." 🥺

Oh Indra, that's supremely sad 🥺

"It's been an eventful few weeks." Well, if you sum it all up like that, it's pretty batshit, yeah

So.. we shipping this reaper with Billie? I think that might work

Yep, tenticle porn confirmation. Two episodes after he was almost possessed by a tenticle god. This fucking show, man

Wait, she's more powerful than the rules of death now? Hot damn.

She killed a REAPER?

Sam will be the one to kill Rowena 🥺

Cas just.. lounging while he waits for the angels

Oh shiiiiit, Naomi! With her hot girl pixie cut!

Ahhhhh, I just remembered why Rowena is doing this.

"'I am sorry' goes a long way" ..she does not say sorry

NINE ANGELS IN HEAVEN

Oh Cas 🥺

She's right, those people have hurt and killed far more people than most monsters

She just wants her son back 🥺

Oh shit, he actually took the shot..

And she was really gonna kill him..

Helloooo Billie, just in time

Daaaamn Rowena

Oh I definitely get the rowena/billie shippers

"See you again soon" uhm, you're death, maybe don't say that :')

Okay, so they're not gonna tell Cas that Lucifer is in heaven?

MotW: ghost of a boy's mum trying to protect him

Any Cas? Nope

"You better come out or the belt's coming off" oh i don't like you

Of course John lied to Sam about where Dean was

"He found me quick. But he left me here, because I lost our money." HE SAYS WITH A SMILE. LIKE THAT'S NORMAL. LIKE THAT'S NOT EXTREMELY FUCKED UP

"None of this was dad's fault" DEAN 😭

He stole BREAD and PEANUT BUTTER and when John finds out, WHAT does he say????

Of course he punched the cop, good for him

Dean. You saw a werewolf for the first time on the show. And that's not what a werewolf bite looks like anyway. It was John. Father of the fucking year did that to you

God the look in Dean's eyes at the memories

San found Dean's old bed 🥺

Dean arguing the impracticality of capes, Edna would be proud

And god just.. Dean being wonderful with another kid. He should have stayed with Sonny and eventually taken over from him

He calls this place a win because nobody sexually assaulted him or beat him up. THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT THOUGH

They should probably make it standard procedure to stick around for an extra day or two after they think they've killed a ghost. At least when they hadn't seen the ghost first.

He's doing good in school, he's making friends, he made the wrestling team 😭

Robin doesn't remember him, that's devastating..

But also hi Erica from Being Erica

Dean going into protective mode when he sees the boy get bullied..

Ouch

We'll something's sure controlling Timmy

Dean learning the guitar 🥺

Well shit, they both ended up doing what their parents wanted them to

"When you're done, they leave and you're not responsible for them anyone" damn, that is some way to describe why you like fixing cars

Awwww, his first kiss

She does remember him, but he broke her heart so she doesn't want to talk to him 😭

Oh the poor boy, it's his mum!

Oh Dean, you saying this..

Timmy running to hug Dean 😭

"Never felt right" liar

"I couldn't wait to get out of here" such a liar

"It wasn't me" IT COULD HAVE BEEN

He was about to take her to the dance and John wouldn't even let him have that one night.

Sonny would have fought for him to stay

He's in freaking tears at the idea of going back to his father

BUT THEN HE SEES SAM AND HE HAS TO GO BECAUSE HE LOVES HIS BROTHER AND CAN'T ABANDON HIM

MotW: the devil, vamps

Any Cas? Yesssss

Any Jack? Yesssss

IT'S THE DREAM WITH THE FIVE OF THEM TOGETHER BEING DOMESTIC 😭😭😭

Of course Cas passes him the box anyway 😊

Okay, I didn't need the grace spunk jokes..

HA

Cas saying 'we' and 'our' is something that can actually be so personal..

Gabriel and Rowena's dynamic is beautiful

"The three amigos? With their bro hugs, pep talks, and melodrama?" :')

Beautiful. These two!

Poor Sammy, they went at it without him :')

Veeeeeery nice, Gabe!

"I killed you, too!" Heh, yeah, this must be so trippy for him :')

I get that they need to keep him around for his grace, but obviously, that's gonna backfire. How many times has the devil returned at this point? Too many, that's for sure..

WHY does Gabe end up with his face in Cas's crotch? Did Rich and Misha request that? :')

Cas and Gabe talking about heaven 🥺

Of course Rowena had to make him mad. Of course he broke free. Of course he's through the portal.

But of course Rowena doesn't leave 😊

That's a lot of dead bodyparts

Oh sure, put the angels to work moving rocks :')

What? It's vamps, of course you can save him. And you can obviously heal him, or at least Gabriel could. And it's Sam, you're not just leaving him behind, what the fuck? Is this real? Dean would never. I object.

Reunion! And a single man tear for Sam!

Lucifer brought Sam back to life to sound nicer to Jack? I am so tired.

Jack really does care about Sam 🥺

Okay, Gabriel says he's not strong enough to bring Sam back..

MotW: casifer, amara

Any Cas? Yessss, but mostly Casifer

Badass Crowley, always good to see you. And he's got himself another hand of god!

Dean casually on the phone with the (former) king of hell is still beautiful

Wait, Amara is with Rowena? Now there's a combo!

And I'm just glad Rowena's alive of course!

CASIFER IN HEAVEN. Oh man, this is the good shit

Bye bye Jofiel

"Or did Jofiel explode himself?" sure babe :')

Yes my love, straddle that random angel. Misha, you chaotic icon

These angels' expressions are GOLD all around

"Hey, if it makes you comfy, could call me god" SJHFSKDJSKSJSJ

Dean will not let Lucifer go into battle inside Cas 😭

"He who hesitates, disintegrates" :')

Well daaamn, Amara, that's some show of force

Casifer doesn't seen to mind, though

"Ouch, I almost forgot. God doesn't care."

Ohhhh, Rowena lying to protect Crowley and the Winchesters!

'Back from the dead Fergus' NICE. Good timing too.

Oh god oh god oh god they have him trapped

CAS

Oh Dean, oh man his face

His mocking "Cas" fucking hell

Oh my god, that vessle now holds an angel, and archangel, AND a powerful demon

Cas's happy place is the bunker kitchen 😭

Oh man, real Cas, it's so good to see you but what are you doing? Lucifer and Crowley are fighing inside your head and you're just sitting there watching tv?

Saved by the Darkness, I guess?

Yeah, even the devil with a hand of god cannot stop her. She's at least as powerful as god, what's not clicking?

Dean calling for Cas even though Amara's right there 🥺

Sam trying to talk to Dean about Cas..

He just wants him safe and back home with him 😭

MotW: vamps

Any Cas? Nope

Oh Claire, sometimes it's just a dude making out with a girl

Awwww, Alex has friends and a boyfriend and she's on a team. And Jody's so happy for her!

Alex and Claire fighting like sisters!

Oh man, family dinner 😊

They're so excited about the homemade food! God, when was the last time someone cooked for them? 🥺

This is freaking amazing

"Hey, if we can't talk about it, we shouldn't be doing it, right?"

God, the Winchesters are so awkward and Claire smiling like that and Jody's exasperation!

Okay but Alex doesn't look different at all what are they talking about

Jody and Dean doing dishes together is just so wonderfully domestic I love it

Sam's talk with Claire was good, but I like that Dean's stern with her

Protective Dean!

Awww her boyfriend is sweet. I think he's a vamp though, but I might be confusing this with the episode of Buffy where Dawn dates a vampire?

Oh shiiiiit

Oh no, I was right. How did Alex not notice her boyfriend's a vamp!

Oh damn, they made her happy just so they could take it away from her, poor girl

Claire, of course Alex doesn't hate you!

Claire saved her!!!

Nice, bye bye vamps!

Awwwww, the girls cooking for Jody! Together! 🥺

MotW: witches

Any Cas? Nope

Bunnie!!! Yes, Dean, pick up the soft little bunnie 🥰

Wow, wouldn't have thought Lucifer's baby moma would be so easy to forget

"Who's Dean?" Well, that escalated quickly

"Not gonna apologise for loving that fish" 🥰

The fact that he forgets the word 'lamp' of all things..

"You did that yesterday too" that must be bringing back sone bad memories for Sam

DAMN RIGHT HE RODE LARRY

"First action in I don't know how long" and why would that be? 👀

"Now salsa you mittens" :')

"Our best friend's an angel. Whaaaaat!"

Dean playing with Rowena's hair 😊

Dean enjoying Scooby Doo 😊

"Dean Winchester is going to die." "Sucks for that guy" 😳

"This is what nails me" stooooooop

"And Cast.. Cas is my best friend" 🥺

Jesus, he plays this painfully well

"I don't know" 😭😭😭

Take his memory away and Dean's horrified he's killed people

Boop!

"Brother. Witch."

You did good, Dean

Those Sam noises :')

Uhmmm, you owe her your lives, not 'a small one'

Hell yeah, riding Larry montage

AND THEN

MotW: toni, lucifer in the background

Any Cas? Yessss

Good for you Mary, knock down this strange dude

"He knew the words to every zeppelin song" mixtaaaaaaaape

I absutely agree with the people who've said they should have gotten young Mary to reprise her role. I love Sam Smith, but Mary's supposed to be 29 here - almost a decade younger than Dean - and having her look it would have such a devastating effect. It's all very emotional of course, but still. Imagine.

HI CAS

"How far am I from Lebanon, Kansas" 💙

Poor dude, he's gonna wake up so confused

It was already a lot for Mary to take in without God's sister being thrown in :')

If you were gonna bribe someone to take care of Sam's wounds, why a vet and not a doctor?

Demon dude talking about what it was like to be a 14yo girl :')

"Just wondering how far I'mma have to walk back to town after I kill you. And her. But you first." niiiice Sammy

"I've been tortured by the Devil himself. So you? You're just an accent in a pantsuit." TELL HER SAM.

The Cas and Mary meeting!!! Dean rushing to stop her from pointing a gun at Cas!

The hug!!!

Oh Cas is so damn happy Dean's alive 🥺

"No, I don't have a harp" 😊

"This is Castiel" he said with the most tender look on his face ever. This matters so much to him! He wants Mary to know Cas! he wants her to like him!

Meeting the previously dead mother is kinda overwhelming for Cas with everything else going on, but that's fair

Cas doesn't trust computers 😊

Heyyyyy, Mary seeing the car. Nice bonding moment!

Dean realising his parents had sex in the impala :')

There hasn't been a monster related death in britain since 1965. Huh. Seems like that pretty much runs itself. So then why exactly haven't they picked the american branch back up yet?

Are we supposed to be appalled by how they killed that vamp? Like it's that much worse than what the brothers do?

Okay but if they'd just talked to Sam normally he probably would've been eager to help them???

Ohhh, Crowley wants to kill the devil

Damn Cas, way to show Mary what a badass you really are

Oh god, Ketch mention

Cas and Mary bonding over the world being weird 😊

Daaamn, Cas is agressive right now.

"Hurt him" niiice

"We have a problem" damn right you do!

Poor Sammy..

Oh come on, how can this woman even hurt Cas at all let alone beat him in a fight? Fucking bullshit.

Well done Mary

Holy SHIT SAM

OH NICE. VERY NICE.

Oh Mary.. 🥺
