This week Supernatural celebrates Valentine's Day in the only way it knows how: bloody. Meanwhile, Dean is forced to confront his own feelings towards Amara.
This is a solid episode. The case itself is fairly interesting (even if cheating husbands are a boring idea) and keeps you guessing what's going on, and that final scene is amazing.
So yeah, at first this episode isn't really that exciting. Husband having an affair with the baby-sitter, how boring. It's only after fake Dan tries to kill Melissa that this got interesting. Also, that was a really creepy scene.
And then Melissa just barges into the boys' motel room and locks the door. This was actually funny. Just look at Dean's face. He is all "okay...."
So let's talk about the spell. I can sympathize with Melissa wanting her husband to love her like she loves him, though I don't understand why she would be willing to overlook the fact that he is in love with someone else, even if he is an asshole and is unwilling to leave the safety of his marriage. And I'm glad she is not blamed for using the spell, it's not her fault she trusted someone she shouldn't have, it was the witch that tricked her into casting a spell she never would have wanted to use. And I like that Melissa gets to live and build a new life for herself.
"The Art of Dyeing? Well, can't say she didn't warn you." Dean, not the right time..
This rock-paper-scissors scene is amazing. I love that they brought back an old joke and made it different and hilarious. Sam's surprise at Dean when he didn't go with scissors and the disbelief when Dean actually won was so great. Poor Sammy is apparently a sore loser. And Dean revels in his sweet victory. Amazing.
Did Sam say to the witch "wow, you're practically a feminist"? Because that's what it sounded like. I'm choosing to believe, if Sam really said that, that he said it with sarcasm and meant that she was getting feminism wrong, because otherwise that is a bad thing to say, Sammy.
I really love this scene where Dean confesses that apparently his deepest, darkest desire is Amara. You can clearly see that Dean is scared and he doesn't want to admit that this connection is something he can't fight. And Sam, bless him, doesn't judge and just accepts the situation as it is. He tells Dean that it is okay if he can't kill Amara, that Sam can handle this, and then, once Dean is gone, Sam lets his real emotions show. He is really worried about this, as he should be. I mean, how deep does this connection really go? What does it really mean?
At some point, is this show going to talk about consent? Because that is very much the issue with Dean and Amara. They have a connection but Dean does not want it, so it is forced onto him by the Mark's removal / by Amara. And if their connection is romantic or sexual then there should be discussion about consent, abuse and rape.
Now, can we please get back to Lucifer and the actual mythology of this season?
