I'm sure others have told you, but we're getting close, so I'll remind you. For S4E6, make sure to watch after the credits.

I really enjoy watching your reactions and reviews to these episodes. Yes, you guys riff on some stuff that most fans hold sacrosanct, which I'm cool with, but you guys show in your reviews just how much you 'get it' and that's why I love watching them. I had my response all written out for last week and when I posted it, it disappeared. I was so pissed at myself for not backing it up. It basically said this... Although several elements of the time-travel in that episode are paradoxical, such as Dean convincing John to buy the Impala, creating a causal loop paradox, Castiel explains that destiny can't be changed and that the events that Dean caused would have happened anyway, even if for another reason. Samuel was already on the case, dragging Mary along for the hunt. Liddy Walsh was also a good friend of Mary, so it feels inevitable that she would have ended up on Azazel's radar with or without Dean being there. This established a level of predestination within the Supernatural Universe and allowed for such paradoxes: a person goes back in time to stop an event from happening/travels with no particular motive, only to have been the cause of it, but are they really the cause? That would make anyone's head spin with so many questions, just like it did with fandom back then, so you guys reactions were spot on to me. It was also nice to get Mitch Pileggi, FBI Director Skinner fron The X-Files, as Mary's dad Samuel Campbell, or 'Grandpa Sam' which is how I'll think of him from now on... Thanks Greg. 😆 Now on to my take of this episode. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are both fantastic in the scenes where Sam is forced to come clean about his activities. Sam's face shows clearly that he is simultaneously fearful of Dean knowing, but determined that what he is doing is right; he is contrite yet resolved. I had the same problem with Sam's logic for his actions as Dean seemed to be having though. What about the exorcisms you guys perform Sam? 80 simple words that Sam knows by heart, as shown in Jus in Bello last season, works in the same way without having to tap into the darkness lurking inside him thanks to the demon blood that's coursing through him. Sam argument here shows a classic denial response of someone addicted to their chosen drug. It had me worried and gave the MOTW storyline that followed this scene more weight and poignancy as I viewed it. Dean, fresh from witnessing the tragedy of his family's past, is a bundle of fury, worry and hurt about Sam lying to him, working with a demon so casually, and using powers that Sam only has because a demon fed him his blood as a baby. Was Dean's responses understandable, yes. Were they the best was to handle the confrontation, no. Was the way Dean responded true to his character, hell yes 100%. Everything that happened in the beginning of this episode led into the MOTW heartbreakingly perfectly to me.

Dean and Sam are called in by Travis, an old hunting buddy of their dad. He is hunting Jack (Dameon Clarke) , a man who unknowingly is a Rugaru, going through a metamorphosis that will turn him irreversibly into a monster once he gives in to the urge to feed on human flesh. The main point behind this storyline is that it parallels Sam's struggle with knowing he has demon blood inside of him. Supernatural is often heavy handed when they force the monster storyline to correspond to what Dean and Sam are going through in their personal lives, but this is one of the better times they have used this tactic, mainly because for once the boys have an open discussion about it. It is a credit to the story being told, both now and what has been set up during past seasons, that both Dean's and Sam's viewpoints are compelling. Sam is trying to deal with his powers the best way he can think of, by using them to help people. It's also pretty heartbreaking to hear him talk to Dean about how he felt when Dean was dead. Meanwhile, Dean is scared out of his mind, both that Castiel threatened to make Sam stop if Dean can't, and also that Sam is on a slippery slope, getting too close to the evil they have always fought against. The fact that Sam has been lying, so he has to at least feel it's wrong, doesn't help either. The history of the show has led to this place, and if this wasn't planned from the beginning, they have done a heck of a job tying all these elements together. It's also a credit to the writing that they are allowing their characters to be human, to make mistakes. The cracks in the brothers' relationship make things more interesting. The dialog in the episode was pretty funny, including what was a new favorite comedic moment when they bust down the door of a woman who doesn't need saving after all and then make a hasty retreat. Dean's line "We're here to save you, I guess" was priceless. However, the episode is tinged with sadness throughout, first with the failure of Dean and Sam to save Jack, who really did seem like he might be able to be saved, as well as the fact that the wife not only has lost her husband in a horrifying way, but unbeknownst to Dean and Sam, she is pregnant and the child will grow up to be a Rugaru. It was so hard watching Jack make the conscience decision to turn away from eating Dean and being a monster, and toward Sam and death. It was done so subtly with just a look there at the end, kudos to Clarke.

Then we have the ending, where Sam declares he will not be using his powers anymore, he is making the choice to stop. I know that Sam wants to do what is best, but it's worrisome because he hasn't taken the first step toward recovery that his addiction storyline needs, admitting he can't do it alone. Now a couple of facts about this one... This was the last episode in the series to be directed by Kim Manners before he lost his battle with cancer. Cast , crew and fans were devastated and the rest of season 4 was dedicated to him. (January 13, 1951 – January 25, 2009). If you go back and watch, 23 minutes into the episode, the Impala is shown with the "KAZ 2Y5" license plate from the early seasons. This is most likely a goof caused by editors using a shot from earlier in the series, because in the very next shot Sam and Dean are wearing different clothes.
