In the seventeenth episode of season 11 of Supernatural Sam and Dean deal with werewolves in a case that turns to almost fatal to both of them. What the hell is this episode?
Holy shit, this episode is a fucking bloodbath.
That cold open... Every time an episode starts in the middle of the hunt, you know it is going to be an intense episode. This is certainly no exception.
Dude, did you just tell Dean to leave Sam behind to die so that the rest of you could get back to town safely? That's not going to go well... And then he actually asphyxiates Sam. What a douchebag... I get that he was turning into a werewolf and probably wasn't a terrible human being who would normally do that, but still. I have zero sympathy for people who in deadly situations decide that some people deserve a chance to be saved more than others.
But I am surprised that after that douchebag "killed" Sam, that Dean agreed to leave Sammy behind so he could help the civilians. I kind of expected Dean to park himself next to Sam and refuse to move until he figured out a way to bring Sam back.
However, take a look at that character growth. Because let's face it, Dean's first instinct is not to do anything and everything he can to bring his brother back. It is not until Michelle comes to talk to him in the hospital and reminds him that death is not the end that Dean comes up with his plan to bargain with Billy.
Dean wants to talk to Billy so he decides the best way to do that is to kill himself. Okay... One question, if Death himself can be summoned, can't reapers also be summoned? Wouldn't that just be a lot easier? Though I guess that would take a lot of time, since he'd have to do research and find the right spell and then gather the ingredients... Yeah, okay, never mind, I answered my own question.
And of course the moment Dean takes the pills is the moment Sam wakes up.
I wonder if Dean finally got Billy's message that their days of cheating death are finally over. Sam already learned this lesson, but Dean seems to have been in denial about it. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future.
This poor cop. He is so determined to do things right that he comes off really intense. I don't think he is a bad guy, his worldview just doesn't include the supernatural and he has no time for Dean's shit when all he is trying to do is his job . He really needs to chill, though. Seriously, dude, demanding a doctor to sedate a person who just almost died of an overdose is not a good idea! Even if you think he is really shady and probably dangerous.
Also, Sam, that was so badass! He can barely walk and he managed to kill two werewolves, get back to the Impala, drive to the hospital and save Dean from yet another werewolf. Damn, that was so kick-ass.
I feel really bad for Michelle. She just had to watch the love of her life turn into a monster, kill two people (or three, depending on if you count Sam, I mean, they did all think he killed Sammy too), and then get shot. That is horrifying.
Dean, don't you think you should tell Sam exactly what you did when you thought he was dead? I get it, Sam would be pissed and Dean doesn't want to deal with it, but dude, you need to deal with it. Oh well, it wouldn't be Supernatural if one Winchester doesn't try to keep something from the other one.
Anyway, that was pretty awesome, I had fun watching that (though there still was no mention of Death or any attempt to explain that situation), so bring on the next episode!
