Supernatural S10E08 - Hibbing 911

I never knew I needed to see Jody Mills and Sheriff Donna (from that not so good spa episode, 'The Purge', last season) partnered up, but this is a beatiful thing and I definitely needed this in my life. I love this episode, even if the vampire plot is very forgettable and not really interesting.

So this kid is spray painting in a dark alley and he's alone. He is so dead. I like his art though.

Jody!! She's back! I love her and she's amazing. And she's at a Sheriff's Retreat. This should be fun, even if Jody does not think so. And Donna's there! I definitely did not think we'd be seeing her again. Jody does not respond well to Donna's personality, but she is such a decent human being that she is shocked to see how Doug treats Donna infront of other people. Doug, you are such a dick. Poor Donna.

The boys are at the bunker reading through the Men of Letters archives, trying to find something useful on the Mark. Dean is getting very frustrated with the lack of information.

At the retreat Jody is forced to partner with Donna. This is going to be amazing, I love the dynamic between these two characters. Also, Sheriff Len, that is the worst ringtone ever. Who uses the sound of a siren as a ringtone?? 

A fellow sheriff tells Donna and Jody about a body found in the morning. Locals suspect animals, but since Jody has knowledge they don't, she decides to call Sam. Even the boys don't know of a creature that would eat the whole body, but Jody tells them that she can handle this. However, Dean is getting very restless and wants to head to Hibbing anyway and Sam reluctantly agrees.

"Screw you, Winchester". I love you, Jody.

Jody heads to the morgue and with Donna's help, they get to see the body. Donna cannot identify the bite marks and Jody finds that the guy's belt was stolen. So the creature took it? But monsters don't usually rob the people they kill. This is weird.

Another dude is about to die since he did not follow the guidebook to surviving a horror film. If the bin makes a noise, you sure as hell do not go back and see what is making the noise.

Donna and Jody are back at the retreat and decide to go talk to Sheriff Len. Their talk is interrupted by Sheriff's Deputy and Donna thinks the Sheriff does not know anything and they should just let animal control do their job. Then they see Doug dancing with another sheriff and Donna gets upset.

Jody goes to talk to Len and his Deputy and finds out that there is a second body. She starts to head back to the morgue but is interrupted by a phone call with Alex. Donna catches up and realises that Jody probably does not want her help. But Jody is warming up to Donna and tells her that the morgue is closed now anyway, so it can wait until tomorrow. They bond over a discussion about Alex and decide to continue with the case in the morning.

The next day the boys arrive to the retreat and tell Jody that they have already been to the morgue. "Jody-o". Oh, Donna, you are amazing. The boys then realise they have met Donna before. The boys ask Jody to keep Donna away from the case while the boys do their thing, which does not make Jody very happy. But she leads Donna to one of the expo's anyway, while the boys go talk to Sheriff Len.

Deputy Graham is suspicious of why the FBI would be investigating animal attacks and Dean does not take this lightly. Sam asks about surveilance tapes and it looks like the Sheriff is hiding something. Dean decides to go ask the Deputy a few more questions.

Meanwhile Donna and Jody are admiring guns. And showing to the asshole showcasing them that despite the fact that they are women, they do know their business. Then Doug shows up, putting Donna down, again. But Jody, being the wonderful human being that she is, stands up to Donna and calls Doug out on his abusive comments. Bravo, Jody!

Donna is not happy about Jody's comments though and makes a jab at Jody's lack of losing a husband. Oh god, no, let's not go there, show. But of course Supernatural goes there and we get flashbacks of Jody's husband and son. Thanks, show, now I'm crying... Donna is sorry for upsetting Jody and leaves.

Dean is having another go at talking with Deputy Graham and this time it goes better. He finds out that the Sheriff changed the password so that he is the only one with access to the camera feeds.

While taking a breather, Donna finds blood and sees the Sheriff bend over another sheriff's body. So Len is a vampire. But these are still not typical vampire attacks, so what is going on?

 Dean and Jody are talking and Jody reveals that Sam has been talking about Dean with her. Dean does not look happy to hear that and tells Jody he is just fine. Sam finds them and tells them that the Sheriff wiped the tapes clean, so there is no footage of the attacks.

Donna is struggling to understand what she saw so she goes to Jody for help and interrupts her chat with the Winchesters. Jody believes her and they go search the Sheriff's room. Donna finds an address on a notepad and when they hear someone else picking the lock on the door, Jody pulls a machete out. Sam and Dean enter the room and Donna has questions about the machete. Dean asks Jody to explain everything to her.

Donna has some questions about the spa now that she knows there are things out there in the dark and is not happy to learn that monsters were involved in her weight loss. She gives the address to Sam and Dean and it leads them to an old barn. The boys want to handle this on their own, but Donna is not having it and she and Jody are coming with.

They find the Sheriff inside the barn but he tells Sam to run, and at the same time someone hits Sam on the back of his head. Dean is also knocked down and Donna and Jody restrained.

So it's a nest of hippy vampires? Well, that's new. And weird. The vamps share that Len was a part of their nest before he stopped killing and became a sheriff. Now they want him to come back. When Len refuses the female vamp kills him. Then Dean manages to free himself and kills two of the vampires. The female goes for Jody, but Donna has also gotten loose and saves Jody.

Jody and Donna are bonding over monsters and Jody promises to answer any questions Donna might have. Now that Donna knows the truth, can she be back again? Or maybe she could team up with Jody to be sheriffs together while hunting monsters?

Meanwhile Sam is having a chat with Dean who tells Sam that he is finally starting to feel like himself. That the Mark is not bothering him. Now, I have to say that that does not look like Dean's lying-face, but the way he rubs the Mark and his arm when Sam can't see him... Fuck, he was lying wasn't he? Dean, what are you doing? I know you don't want to worry your brother more when he is already worried, but, Dean, this is not going to end well.

If I'm not much mistaken, next week is the mid season finale. I'm already nervous about it, but bring it, Supernatural!
