This week on Supernatural, holy shit that was amazing and I have so many feelings and I don't know whether start crying or take a step back and try to control my breathing. Oh my god...
This episode was pretty much everything I wanted it to be. Fuck, that was amazing. Though I have to say that the Crowley and Rowena scenes were pretty boring. But the rest was awesome!
So Cain is back, which is great because Timothy Omundson is fantastic. He's perfect as Cain and all his scenes are so tense and powerful. (He is also the best part of Galavant and anyone who is a fan of musicals should check out that show.)
But lets talk about Crowley and Rowena first. The reason these scenes are boring is because we have seen all this stuff before. We all know Rowena is manipulating him and it is so frustrating to see Crowley do nothing. It is a relief when he calls her out and does not react to her assessment of his relationship with the Winchesters. But it seems they are going to go their separate ways from now on. Though I'm still pretty sure that her dramatic exit is still a manipulation to get Crowley back on action or for some other reason. But now that Dean has revealed to Crowley that they have only used him when he has been useful and manipulated him doing what they need him to, I'm hoping Crowley will stop acting like a love-sick puppy and will get back to being the snarky and awesome character that is a proper threat to the Winchesters that he is.
Side note: the witch Rowena mentions that she wanted Crowley's help with, was that the witch the Grand Coven send (aka the one Dean killed last week) or have they sent another one? Does Rowena know she's dead? Or was that another manipulation on her part to get Crowley do something?
And now onto the good stuff. I was sure from the start that it was Cain in the prison. But why? At first I thought he was making demons again. Because didn't he create the Knights of Hell? I can't remember for sure, but I think he did. So I figured he'd gone back to old habits. Because in this show dying does not mean you're dead, so I figured he was making these killers into proper demons. Also, I love that Dean recognises him from his silhouette.
Turns out Cain is wiping out his entire family tree. The scene between Cas and Cain is beautiful. The wide shots of the scene that show the graves are haunting while close-ups bring power and tension into it. And, like I said, Timothy is fantastic. Also, poor Castiel getting all defensive when Cain threatens Dean. Oh honey, the angel blade will not help you in this fight. Though it is a shame they did not bond over their fascination with bees.
Jensen Ackels is also on fire in this episode. He is acting his ass off and it is a beautiful thing to behold. The way Dean struggles in this is so clear, he does not want to lose himself, but in his mind he has no choice. Cain must be stopped and he is the only one who can do it. The scene where he admits to Sam that he is scared is amazing. He is being so open (which is refreshing to see after years of these two lying to each other) and it makes me want to cry. Dean knew this was going to happen but he thought he had more time left.
How horrible is it that they can't risk giving Dean the blade before Cain shows up because he might flip and decide to kill them all. This show is so fucked up...
I can't help but laugh when Dean is begging the others to promise to kill whatever survives his fight with Cain and Sam and Cas look so conflicted by this whereas Crowley is pretty much smiling and saying that it will be his pleasure to take out Dean. This is the Crowley I know and love.
Dean and Cain's conversation and fight are awesome. It's so tense and both actors are bringing their best and I'm just in awe. I have no other words to describe this. This is Supernatural at its best and it is wonderful and heartbreaking.
Instead of giving Crowley the blade Dean plays him and gives it to Cas. I saw one person speculate that he did so to ensure they would have the blade so that Cas could kill Dean if needed. And that is a heartbreaking thought. And probably true.
I don't think Cain is dead though. It's the same as was with Person of Interest, the rule number 1 of tv, if they don't show someone dying then they are not dead. And besides, there was no light nor the demon killing sound, and I'm sure that if Dean actually killed Cain, it would have affected him a lot more and possibly made him go dark side. And if they can show Dean cutting Cain's hand off then they can bloody well show him killing Cain. So I guess the question is, what happened? Was Dean so scared of the path Cain swore he was on that he'd let Cain live so he wouldn't kill everyone he loves? Seems possible. For some reason the image in my mind is that since Cain said he would not stop killing unless he was dead, Dean decided to cut off his other hand as well, so he couldn't really kill anymore. And that has to be the weirdest thought I have ever had. And no, I don't think this actually happened, the thought just came to me for some reason.
Dean look horrible in the last scene. He is so pale and he looks half dead. That's not a good sign. But I still don't understand why Sam says that Dean's in trouble? Does he suspect that Cain is not as dead as Dean would have them believe? Does he think Dean is trying to hide how much the whole altercation has affected him? What is going on? I need more! Also, Jared Padalecki's face is not okay during this scene. He looks like he's about to start crying, so what happened?? Did I miss something? The next episode better give some answers. This is going to be a looong wait....
