It's Halloween in Chance Harbor and with her grandmother going to visit an elder, Henry (who Dawn killed a few episodes ago), Faye and Diana convince Cassie to have a Halloween party. Trying to get Diana and Adam back together and worried about not having a boy to flirt with, Faye drops the hint to Luke and gets Cassie to invite him. Getting the house ready, Cassie finds a piece of the blade that the other "witch" used to attack and her there are two symbols on it.
At a local new age shop, another witch recognizes Cassie and when she goes to him for help on the symbols, he says he can't help her. Little does she know that Jake stalled her car and went over to the shop first and using a witch "cruor" I think it's called and a little blood and a personal item he threatens his life, holding time bomb of the shop owner's life in his hands. Too bad for Jake that Cassie takes a picture of another knife just like her lying around the shop and takes it to ...Adam... to help her decipher it. I think she is going a little backwards on the whole get-Diana-and-Adam-back-together mission, but hey I like them better together anyway.
Oh and my favorite part of the episode was when Luke was revealed to be a witch hunter. I didn't like him and I knew he was bad news and I just liked being proved right. He and another kid in a pig mask kidnap the circle from the party and Jake makes a jar (just like the one he made to kill the shop owner) for each of them. When Luke gets close to dropping the flame in Diana's jar and killed her, Cassie freaks out and ends up exploding the glass. It was pretty cool actually and then I started to wonder if binding the circle makes the leader, aka Cassie, more powerful and she controls the power. We will just have to wait and see. Then Luke gets pissed and grabs Cassie jar. This time when she screams, Luke combusts into flames.
According to what the shop owner told Jake before he killed him, Cassie has dark energy inside her. Another night wraps up as Diana still refuses to take Adam back. I feel bad that Adam is in pain over losing her, but I prefer him better with Cassie and just like the character in the book, he is severely stubborn and it's getting a little annoying. Move on Adam. I love you, but come on. Now Jake wasn't "there" (he was outside talking with his "boss"), but Cassie still doesn't trust him after his little slip of the tongue. "What do you have to go on, just those three symbols?" Cassie only showed him a dagger with two symbols. Silly boy. Just you wait. The episode ends with Jane (Cassie's grandma) finding Henry (the elder) dead on the floor of his home. Someone knocks her out cold and takes the crystal she was using. I'm thinking it was Dawn because she needs another crystal so badly, but I don't know. I've given up trying to predict anything the CW throws my way. Until next week!

Blasts from the Past
I have to say I don't know another town that has more Founding Day celebrations. Bonnie, Caroline, and Elena are of course helping with the set up and just when things are getting back to normal (yeah, right), Damon tells Bonnie that Mason Lockwood is back. Jeremy is still talking to Anna and things are amplified when Elena finds them kissing in the bathroom of the Grill. When does a spell to get rid of Mason's foothold in the physical world, her Grams shows up, along with Lexi and the tomb vampires (not to mention that now that they, along with Mason, are visible to everyone). And guess what's needed to send them back? Yep, the necklace. Who knew a piece of jewelry could be so versatile?
Well, when Lexi shows up and offers to help Elena with Stefan, she has Bonnie postpone the necklace's destruction to keep her here. I was glad they brought Lexi back. They need to have more vampires like her on the show. She locks Stefan up in the basement of the city jail and repeatedly stabs him with a stake (ow). Then of course the tomb vampires are after revenge on the founding families; what else is new? Well for one, Mason and Damon team up to look for a solution to kill Klaus--AWKWARD. Bonnie also knows about Jeremy kissing Anna --DOUBLE AWKWARD. And unfortunately for Elena, the tomb vampires are causing to much hassle (not including killing Tobias Fell) and they have to send the ghost back, including Lexi.
Elena convinces Anna to give back the necklace she had stolen by telling her that she was holding Jeremy back from moving on with his life. What are you going to do? Love a ghost the rest of your life?" She asks Jeremy. But just before Anna goes back to being alone, I was brought to tears at her reunion with her mother. Bonnie destroys the necklace and finally, it seems, Elena gets through to Stefan. "Fight for it," she tells him. "Or you will lose me forever. I won't love a ghost the rest of my life." She leaves him locked up and there are no comments or snarks, just a quiet, serious, contemplative Stefan.
Damon asks Alaric to take Mason's place when he disappears after Bonnie's spell. He and Mason were searching for a solution in a cave and there was a spell preventing Damon from entering a certain part of it. Ric ends up finding a bunch of cave drawings and the necklace Bonnie destroyed reemerges from the fire. From the previews of next week, the cave paintings have something to do with the originals. That should be very interesting, and where the heck is Klaus?

Dr. Sam, Dr. Dean at Your Service
So from here on out, I've decided that instead of doing recaps of the shows, I would just talk about what I liked, what I didn't like, and other tidbits I might throw in (more than I already do). Well, let's start this off. Sam and Dean are trying to live their lives as your average everyday hunter. Piece of cake right? Come on you know better. The episode started with a few people dying in extremely weird ways. A girl gets fried under the hair dryer at the salon, one man boils in his hot tub, and another guy is nail-gunned to death by a floating nail gun. Personally, it felt way too final destination and our boys, as our writers, are a little more original a classier than that. It wasn't the normal way for a victim to die, and while nothing is normal about this show, there's still a few criteria that our boys' cases usual follow.
And of course Dean still refuses to tell Sam about Amy and it's starting to take a toll on him. He tells Sam he's okay. "Yeah, ok," says Sam. "Don't say that like 'yeah, ok'," remarks Dean. "Yeah, ok," replies Sam as he walks away. I love their little witty banter.
"Really, from a freakin flask? What are you bad Santa, on the job?" Come Sam, let Dean has his early morning beverage if it helps him. And it turns out, all the mysterious deaths are caused by a witch, the wife of a realtor who she caught cheating on her. The man, Don Stark, is played by non other than James Marsters, aka Brainiac or Milton Fine on Smallville. I was so excited when I saw him on the screen. Anyways, his assistant is the next person Maggie (Don's wife) targets. She uses a kind of ancient Romanian coin as a hex bag to perform the spell. Lucky our favorite duo come in just in time to save the girl's life. It was creepy too. The assistant was biting into a cupcake and it looked like a heart was beating inside it and then she coughed up her insides, literally. A tad gross, but more of what I was expecting. What does that say about me? :)
Apparently aside from her dark alone time, Maggie runs a charity art show. Her friend Sue, is her best friend and wants to be there for her (she also wants to do a lot more, but that's all I'll say about that). Don walks in a tells her to knock it off, meaning her doing what she wants. Turns out he's a witch too and they are at war with one another and he runs her charity event. He also decapitates Sue with a platter, but hey this is Supernatural. Bobby has a spell that will stop her and it involves chicken feet. Sam every so gently places them on the table where Dean is finally enjoying a whole pie. Come on Sam, you couldn't just give him his pie time? "Take the...wouldja take that feet!" Dean yells.
Too bad the feet aren't chilled or the may have worked. So what do our boys do? Why, play Dr. Phil of course! Dean starts to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Witch, saying that they still love each other. But then he rambles off into kinky sex and Sam takes over. Oddly enough, it works and the two make up. Lucky for Sam and Dean, because (although they don't know) a leviathan finds them in their hotel room and Don saves them and removes the coins Maggie was going to use to kill them. Man I hope Don (aka Milton Fine) stays around for some ally action. How ironic would it be if the boys had a witch comrade? And what is going on with the whole leviathan issue? I just loved this episode. The shrink session was the best. Until next week, (or I guess a few days) I bid you a fond farewell!
Questions, comments, theories?

Hunter
Cassie awakes to the crackling of a fire one night in Chance Harbor. She looks across to Nick's yard and sees a boy burning the ground. She spots him and he disappears, leaving nothing behind but a moon shaped burn in the ground. Turns out the boy is Nick's older brother, Jake. According to Cassie's grandmother, he is, by blood, part of the circle. Binding the circle doesn't just bind the people, but the entire bloodline. Cassie's bloodline also happens to be the only one out of the group that has the longest lineage and therefore born to be the leader of her circle. Good luck telling Faye that. Adam certainly as a bad taste in his mouth for Jake, who robbed him and his dad blind when he used to work at the boathouse. In a rather tension interlude when he walks in on Diana, Cassie, and Adam at the boathouse, he leaves. Later that night, the same symbol appears at the abandoned house where the reaming five members of the circle find it.
-------
The symbol means conquest; someone is threatening the circle. Dawn pretends to ally herself with Cassie's grandmother and promises to protect the circle. She tells Charles they need a new crystal to get their plans for the children back on track. When Cassie's get home that night, a girl attacks her. Hearing her cream, Jake rushes in and says, "Burning star, blood red eye." Turns out he knew he was a witch. It's cool, he's totally hot so it's all good. Unless he turns out be a bad guy...that could be bad or good, depending on your preference ;)
-------
Diana and Adam rush over when Cassie calls them about what happened. Adam starts off by attacking Jake. Cassie pleads with him to realize that he saved her life. "So he keeps saying," Adam growls and after a few more words gets back in the jeep, followed by Diana. "You're acting like a jealous boyfriend, and not mine." Well, yeah, he's in love with Cassie, Diana. Didn't you know? Nope, guess not. Anyway. Cassie's grandmother gives Cassie a crystal to use her power without another member of the circle. Just hold on to that for now.The girl that attacked Cassie is named Simone. Jake finds her at a hotel outside of town and from how it appears, she is a witch hunter and Jake has dealt with her in the past. She comes off as the bad guy, but it looks like Jake is more involved than he's letting on.
At Nick's wake, Adam's father mentions someone named Blackwell. Not much more is said and it's drown out by the fight that breaks out between Adam and Jake. Jake is talking to Cassie and Adam rushes over in a macho man bravado. Jake makes a remark about Adam's father and Adam takes a swing. Cassie and Diana break it up and Adam tries to cover it up by saying it was due to Jake's comment. "That's not what started this," says Diana. Cassie takes Jake outside and has a very flirty conversation. As she walks back inside, Simone is seen under the pier watching her.
Diana brings Adam's dad coffee to sober him up, but she doesn't leave unscathed. "It's Adam's destiny to be with Cassie Blake," he tells her. As Diana leaves he says, "Trust me bad things happen when you mess with fate." Talking with Adam, Cassie sees Jake walk outside with a girl and she goes to investigate. When the girl, Simone, pulls a knife on him, Cassie uses a crystal and helps him kill her. It's then that she realizes who the girl is. What Cassie doesn't know, is that Jake was working with Simone, to kill her.
Diana reveals to Adam about what his dad told her and breaks up with him. She runs to Cassie's house and seeks solitude. At the end of the episode, we see Jake at the harbor talking to the leader of a group of witch hunters. The leader, for any of you who watch Teen Wolf, is Alison's dad. He's enlisted the aid of Jake, a witch, to kill other witches. Kind of ironic huh? "I came to rid Chance Harbor of witches, and that's what i intend to do." I can't wait to see how this plays out.

The First Day of School
I'm writing this during the episode this week so ... here goes. What a jam-packed first chunk of the episode. Elena is getting her girl power on by enlisting the help of a temporary missing in action character, a Mr. Alaric Saltzman. It also happens to be the first day of school, senior year for our heroines. Coincidentally, it is the one year anniversary of when Stefan and Elena first met. Too bad he has no emotion. Stefan is having frequent girl visitors for his bloody consumption and Tyler is a little too excited about being a brand new hybrid. Jeremy and Bonnie are on the outs for Jeremy seeing Anna again. Matt is also developing a little supernatural ability of his own. Tyler leaves blood on his shirt from breakfast, courtesy of Rebecca. When Elena leaves the bathroom after helping Caroline, she walks into Stefan; the exact same way it happened one year ago. After a stand off with Alaric, he says, "See you both in history."
--------
Stefan isn't the only student infiltrating the school. Rebecca decides to join Mystic Falls High. Matt and Jeremy are unknowingly taking part in a supernatural warfare. Anna is warning Jeremy about Vicki and Vicki convinces Matt to help with a ritual (from the original witch) to allow her to travel freely in between the worlds. In other news, Rebecca joins the cheering squad with the disapproving glances of Caroline and the drooling gaze of Tyler Lockwood. Stefan also shoves a guy down for gently bumping into a Elena. "I'm protecting the human blood bag," he states. Back at the boardinghouse, Elena continues to train with weights to build strength. Damon walks in a she tells him of her plan to lock up Stefan. He grabs her and in a sexy moment, places her hand on his sternum and then places his hand on her rib cage and tells her that the ways to get at a vampire's heart. "No one's going to hurt you Elena, especially not my brother." (Squeal).
--------
Once again it is the night of the annual school bonfire. Damon, Alaric, Elena, and Caroline concoct a plan to put Stefan down. Tyler walks in after they summon him and does everything in his power to defend Klaus and to stop the plan. "Oh no," says Damon. He stabs him in the back and explains, "He's been sired." In other words, he's Klaus' puppy dog, literally. Bonnie continues to seethe over that fact that Jeremy is still contacting Anna. "Matt's trying to resurrect his dead sister. I think I'll go and deal with that." Too late. Matt successfully performs a ceremony and Vicki returns to the world of the living. The witch, she tells Matt, gave her an ultimatum. The only way she can stay in the living world is for the cause of the hybrid curse to be destroyed. Aka, Elena has to die. "I'm sorry Mattie, but I want to stay."
-------
Stefan stalkishly watches Elena at the bonfire. Elena purposely gets herself drunk to make him follow her to protect her for Klaus. Damon attempts to swoon Rebecca as a distraction and ends up with a stick in the gut. Stefan finds Elena wobbling on the bleachers where she climbs over the edge and "falls." Obviously, Stefan saves her. "I knew you'd catch me." For just a second it seems we got the old Stefan back. Maybe the compulsion wasn't permanent? I guess we'll never know because Alaric appears and hits him with vervain darts. Tyler also apologizes to Caroline for acting like the "old" him.
-------
After putting Elena in the car, Ric trips over a gasoline can and Vicki drops a cigarette, engulfing the car in flames. Vicki traps her and she struggles to make Stefan wake up. "Elena," he breathes. He groggily opens his eyes and kicks open the door, fainting back into unconsciousness. Bonnie and Matt are reversing the spell and Matt is forced to say goodbye to Vicki ... again. Alaric and Elena rescue Stefan (yeah that's what i said) from the car just in time to see it explode.
-------
At the Salvatore boardinghouse, Damon affectionately applies liquid band-aid (at least that's what it looked like) and she leaves when Alaric gives him a sour look. Tyler and Caroline, cough, rendezvous and she leaves. Being sexy in a blanket, Tyler turns around to see Rebecca who brought him a present... a girl and he indulges. And where has Katherine been this whole time you ask??? Waking up Michael. But he's been denying himself human blood for centuries, so what does he drink? Vampire ... specifically Katherine. Later, Stefan calls Elena, "pathetic" for believing in him. "No, Stefan," she says, "it makes me strong." She stabs him with two stakes. As Damon cleans up the mess Stefan left, someone "flashes" around the house. And OMG MASON IS BACK!

The Boys are Back in Town
Here it is! Ladies and gentleman an episode of our two favorite boys on a non-extensive-plot-line hunt. Not of course without great one-liners. Just plain boring and simple...well as boring and simple as you would expect out of the lives of Sam and Dean Winchester.
It opened up with an irrelevant murder (just like the good old days of seasons one and two) of a man getting crushed to death by a car on the tenth floor of his apartment. Yeah, you heard me. Driving up in the Impala and in the stylish fashion of false FBI agents, Sam and Dean arrive at the crime scene. "This feels wonky," says Dean of the regular-Joe case routine. "You know you wanna work this case, Dean," comments Sam, and that's not all he says. "By the way, thank you." "For what?" Asks Dean. "Amy. I know you didn't wanna let her go, but it was the right thing to do. Thanks." "No problem." Really Dean? You know Sammy is going to find out, better it comes from you.
In the apartment, the EMF reveals ghostly activity. "Some kind of ghost?" Remarks Sam. "With a license?" ..."License to kill," says Dean. (HAHAHAHAHA, sorry that was worth it). Later Dean finds a poker chip revealing the victim to be "dead and sober." Sam wants to check out a place called Jane's that the victim visited and sends Dean to investigate the AA meetings. "Congrats on your sobriety (Dean? Sober? Don't make me...hahahahha!), I'll go find out where Jane's is," says Sam. "I gave up AA for lent," replies Dean. "We're not Catholic." "Always with the details." Probably the most useless paragraph, but entertaining all the same.
Anyway, Dean discovers the victim has flowers sent to a little girl's grave, Elizabeth Durrin's. Why? Turns out the victim ran her over in the driveway. In other news, a man is mauled to death in a diner bathroom by a dog no one else saw. Sam finds out that he ran a dog fighting operation. "Do dogs even have ghosts?" Questions Dean. "First I've heard of it," says Sam. "You know it does make sense. Vengeance on the guy that Michael Vick-ed you." (HAHA.) This victim, like the other one, tried to turn over a knew leaf. Unfortunately for them, they still died. Just "another day at the office" for Sam and Dean. A common feature in both murders? Red dirt, aka an apple farm. "Wow, I'd be pretty interested in that if I ate apples." I wonder whose mouth that came out of...
Driving out to the apple farm, the boys almost run over a man in the middle of the road. The man says he was put on trial and sentenced to death for murdering a convenience store clerk and his wife. Makes sense, except he just got off parole. He was jumped outside of a place called Neil's Tavern and put on trial in a barn on the apple farm. "Well look, I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna go try and find that barn. You coming?" Asks Sam. "I'm gonna go check the bar." "To work or drink," he condemns. "I haven't decided," remarks Dean.
Sam leaves Warren, our friendly convict, and sends Bobby symbols Warren gave him to look up. At the bar Dean flirts with the bartender. Shocker. Mia, the bartender, gets Dean to talk about what's bothering him. So, yeah, everything. "You ever do something behind someone's back because you had to?" He tells her. Much later, and drunk, Dean waits for Mia outside the bar. He is captured by Osiris, the god of authority, and he judges you on your guilt and kills you for it, depending on how deep it runs. "This guy hones in on people who feel guilty," says Bobby to Sam. "Who does that sound like to you?" Cough, Dean, cough.
Mia finds Dean's phone and calls Sam, telling him he's not there. Warren doesn't stay inside the circle of salt like Sam told him, and gets himself killed by the ghosts of his victims. But that's not important. Anyway, Sam gets the phone back and finds red dirt on the ground. He races to barn on the apple farm and finds Dean in an Egyptian-style courtroom bound in chains. Sam demands to be Dean's lawyer (practice for what his college education may have given him...long story. Let's not get into that). Osiris agrees and calls three witnesses. The first one he calls, Jo. The object, to increase Dean's guilt. Sam cross examines her, yeah it's as funny as you might think. When Joe doesn't enhance the guilt, Osiris calls Sam to the stand. Sam then calls Dean and tries to erase his guilt and win him his life. It works, until Osiris threatens to call his last witness...he never does, but it's implied Amy is the last witness. We all know what would have happened it he did call her. Osiris sentences Dean to death.
Bobby of course has a solution for a temporary rest--you have to stab him with a ram's horn. Where do you get a ram's horn? Why, a synagogue. Too bad Sam gets busted by the rabbi. He gets away with it nonetheless and back at the motel room, Dean fights with his guilt over Jo. Osiris gives her the detail of being the ghost to kill Dean. Luckily Sam corners Osiris outside the Tavern going after another unsuspecting victim and stabs him in the back. Jo disappears, but not without leaving a lingering feeling of guilt in Dean's core and rubbing her hand affectionately across his cheek.
The episode ends with our boys drinking a six-pack and leaning against the Impala (the good old days!). "So, who was it?" Asks Sam. "Who?" "That whole, final witness thing." "No idea. Honestly, that could be just about anybody dead we know." Key word in that sentence, "honestly." Even after a whole episode centered around guilt and the purpose being to come clean to Sam, Dean still lies to him. Very disappointing.
Questions, remarks, disappointments, suggestions for Dean? See you next week!
It opened up with an irrelevant murder (just like the good old days of seasons one and two) of a man getting crushed to death by a car on the tenth floor of his apartment. Yeah, you heard me. Driving up in the Impala and in the stylish fashion of false FBI agents, Sam and Dean arrive at the crime scene. "This feels wonky," says Dean of the regular-Joe case routine. "You know you wanna work this case, Dean," comments Sam, and that's not all he says. "By the way, thank you." "For what?" Asks Dean. "Amy. I know you didn't wanna let her go, but it was the right thing to do. Thanks." "No problem." Really Dean? You know Sammy is going to find out, better it comes from you.
In the apartment, the EMF reveals ghostly activity. "Some kind of ghost?" Remarks Sam. "With a license?" ..."License to kill," says Dean. (HAHAHAHAHA, sorry that was worth it). Later Dean finds a poker chip revealing the victim to be "dead and sober." Sam wants to check out a place called Jane's that the victim visited and sends Dean to investigate the AA meetings. "Congrats on your sobriety (Dean? Sober? Don't make me...hahahahha!), I'll go find out where Jane's is," says Sam. "I gave up AA for lent," replies Dean. "We're not Catholic." "Always with the details." Probably the most useless paragraph, but entertaining all the same.
Anyway, Dean discovers the victim has flowers sent to a little girl's grave, Elizabeth Durrin's. Why? Turns out the victim ran her over in the driveway. In other news, a man is mauled to death in a diner bathroom by a dog no one else saw. Sam finds out that he ran a dog fighting operation. "Do dogs even have ghosts?" Questions Dean. "First I've heard of it," says Sam. "You know it does make sense. Vengeance on the guy that Michael Vick-ed you." (HAHA.) This victim, like the other one, tried to turn over a knew leaf. Unfortunately for them, they still died. Just "another day at the office" for Sam and Dean. A common feature in both murders? Red dirt, aka an apple farm. "Wow, I'd be pretty interested in that if I ate apples." I wonder whose mouth that came out of...
Driving out to the apple farm, the boys almost run over a man in the middle of the road. The man says he was put on trial and sentenced to death for murdering a convenience store clerk and his wife. Makes sense, except he just got off parole. He was jumped outside of a place called Neil's Tavern and put on trial in a barn on the apple farm. "Well look, I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna go try and find that barn. You coming?" Asks Sam. "I'm gonna go check the bar." "To work or drink," he condemns. "I haven't decided," remarks Dean.
Sam leaves Warren, our friendly convict, and sends Bobby symbols Warren gave him to look up. At the bar Dean flirts with the bartender. Shocker. Mia, the bartender, gets Dean to talk about what's bothering him. So, yeah, everything. "You ever do something behind someone's back because you had to?" He tells her. Much later, and drunk, Dean waits for Mia outside the bar. He is captured by Osiris, the god of authority, and he judges you on your guilt and kills you for it, depending on how deep it runs. "This guy hones in on people who feel guilty," says Bobby to Sam. "Who does that sound like to you?" Cough, Dean, cough.
Mia finds Dean's phone and calls Sam, telling him he's not there. Warren doesn't stay inside the circle of salt like Sam told him, and gets himself killed by the ghosts of his victims. But that's not important. Anyway, Sam gets the phone back and finds red dirt on the ground. He races to barn on the apple farm and finds Dean in an Egyptian-style courtroom bound in chains. Sam demands to be Dean's lawyer (practice for what his college education may have given him...long story. Let's not get into that). Osiris agrees and calls three witnesses. The first one he calls, Jo. The object, to increase Dean's guilt. Sam cross examines her, yeah it's as funny as you might think. When Joe doesn't enhance the guilt, Osiris calls Sam to the stand. Sam then calls Dean and tries to erase his guilt and win him his life. It works, until Osiris threatens to call his last witness...he never does, but it's implied Amy is the last witness. We all know what would have happened it he did call her. Osiris sentences Dean to death.

Nick
Last week we left off with Melissa and Nick in bed and the "snake" crawling into her ear. As the episode begins, Nick leans over to give her kiss. She forcefully shoves him off. "I'm sorry, I just really don't feel well." Indeed, she probably doesn't, what with a demon slithering around inside her.
Cassie's grandmother is starting to get suspicious of her activities with the coven, although she still doesn't know they're practicing (I doubt that; I think grandma knows more than she's letting on). Melissa heads to school, jittery and jumpy, spazzing at the slightest touch or motion. Dawn and Charles are also continuing their rendezvous of secret meetings. While Melissa is at her locker, the demon starts to take over and causes her pain. Nick walks over to help her and she freezes. She raises her head, but Melissa isn't in control anymore. "Nick," she says. "I found my family's book of shadows." "Seriously?" He asks. No, dummy, of course she didn't find it. After a late night dig, he comes up with a suitcase. "This is exactly what we're looking for," says Melissa.
At dinner that night, Cassie's grandmother talks about Amelia. "If we were closer," she begins. She wonders if maybe she could have saved her daughter, been there for her more. Turning to Cassie, "Please don't make the same mistakes she did." Soon enough, Cassie gets a text from Melissa to come to the house. Melissa and Nick, then later Faye and Cassie, attempt to open the suitcase, since according to Melissa, there is a spell on the lock to keep the book safe. I don't know if whatever is in the case needs protection...
Suddenly, the bag moves. And then again. "Melissa," says Cassie, "What's in the suitcase?" Slow motion, head-cocked-in-a-creepy-fashion walk over, "You'll see." Cue wicked grin and the snake slithers across her forehead underneath the skin to the horror of Nick, Cassie, and Faye. In the thrills of passion, Diana and Adam get a text from Cassie and race to the house; Nick knocks Melissa out and they tie her up. She struggles to break free. She tries to coax Nick into letting her go and after that fails, she freaks out again. Cassie has an idea. "I know what to do, but you have to trust me."
A side note: Dawn and Charles wore out the crystal's power and can't regain their magic.
Enter Cassie's grandmother to the rescue. "I need your help," says Cassie. Melissa threatens to cut Nick's throat and forces the rest of the coven to open the case. Cassie's grandmother walks and in and seals the case shut again and uses a crystal to make Melissa pass out. In a ceremony, where a torch is lit, they attempt to cleanse Melissa. When it's revealed that the demon is gone, grandma says, "But it needs a host." Nick becomes it's new body and he flees into the night. Cassie and Adam help her grandmother drown and burn the demons in the form of snakes in the suitcase. Drowning and burning are the only two ways to kill demons. Now what to do about Nick...
Nick comes across Dawn at the boathouse. "And who are you?" "I believed the name you used to summon me was..." "Abaddin..." she breathes. And the past becomes clearer. What was the original coven up to? What does Abaddin demand? He wants the circle and Dawn for his new host. She calls Charles and leaves the phone on and cleverly tells him to meet her at the dry docks. Charles attack Nick and drowns him, despite his desperate pleas, and is urged on by Dawn... murdering him. They disappear at the sound of footsteps and Cassie and her grandmother find Nick and the episode ends with the mourning of the coven, and Melissa in heartbroken tears. Cassie looks across to Nick's window, and finds it empty.
I was very depressed at the end of the episode and in tears myself. I was starting to grow fond of Nick and was angry that the writers off-ed him. He was starting to show emotion and I think he and Melissa really cared about each other. Now, just a few episodes in of the premiere season, we are down one main character. What other twists does the CW have in store for us? I just didn't know what to think. Great episode, bad ending. Questions, comments, anguish to share??

Senior Prank Night...
...turns into a night from hell. When Elena, Tyler, Bonnie, Matt, Caroline, and a bunch of other students from Mystics Falls High get together for a senior prank night, their intentions are to make memories that will last the rest of their lives. Well they get memories all right, but probably not the ones they were hoping for.
Klaus leaves Stefan in the hands of Rebecca and heads to the high school where he finds Elena. Entering the gym, he pretends to be a teacher and bust the seniors, telling them to go home, except for two, Dana and Chad. He compels Dana to hold up her foot and Chad to beat her to death if she drops it. The goal, to make Elena suffer. Elsewhere, Rebecca reveals to Stefan that Klaus knows about Elena and he tackles Rebecca, demanding to know where she is. "You really do love her don't you? Consider me jealous." She stabs him with a crow bar and disappears to the school.
In Damon and Katherine news, Katherine has kidnapped Jeremy in the hopes that he can communicate with Anna. After showing Damon that she stashed him in the truck of their car, she tells him the Pearl told her about a way to kill Klaus, but never told her what it was. The only other person she told, was Anna.
Rebecca walks in on Caroline and Tyler making out. "You two are adorable," she says. "Ah, do we know you?" Asks Caroline. "You're Caroline, Elena's friends, which makes you Tyler, the werewolf." "And who are you?" Demands Caroline. "I'm the new girl." Rebecca attacks her and takes Tyler to the gym where Bonnie and Matt had just arrived to find Klaus and Elena. Klaus is fed up and grabs a hold of Tyler. As the rest watch in horror (minus Rebecca), Klaus feeds Tyler his blood, the same blood that killed the rest of his hybrid creations. "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler's sake, you'd better hurry." He snaps Tyler's neck.
While Tyler and Caroline wait in the hallway with Rebecca, Stefan walks into the gym. "Come to save your damsel, mate?" Asks Klaus. "I came to ask for your forgiveness and pledge my loyalty." "Why, you broke that pledge once already." "Elena means nothing to me anymore. Whatever you ask of me, I will do." "Fair enough," replies Klaus, "Let's drink on it." He tells Stefan to killed Dana and Chad. When Elena steps up to counteract Klaus' demands, he slaps her and Stefan attacks. Done with Stefan's lies, Klaus compels him for his obedience and allegiance and Stefan kills the two kids.
After Damon slamming his head to threaten Anna for answers, she tells to Jeremy, who relays it Damon and Katherine, that Klaus and Rebecca are looking for a man named Michael, a vampire who hunts other vampires. She warns not to wake him up. .
While waiting in the hallway with Tyler and Caroline, Rebecca sees a picture on Elena's phone of her wearing the necklace. She bursts into the gym to tell Klaus and attacks Elena to tell her where it is. "Katherine stole it," she says. Unfortunately, Klaus wants that necklace. "Since we're doing things that hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?" He gives them twenty minutes. "If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you [Stefan] to feed again. And this time, I want you to feed on Elena."
Knowing they need help, and sensing her presence all night, Matt concocts a plan to communicate with Vicki. He decides to drown himself in the pool and have Bonnie bring him back with CPR. If it is successful, he will have died and come back to life, the criteria that allowed Jeremy to see Anna and Vicki. After much tension and anxiety that Bonnie wouldn't be able to bring him back, Matt returns with a message from Vicki. He tells Bonnie that the reason the hybrids are dying is because Elena is still alive.
The clock ticks down to zero and Stefan holds on long enough to let Elena flee. The whole time I'm thinking NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Stefan, fight it! He does for a time, but Klaus has had it once again. He compels Stefan to shut off his emotions. There was a glimmer of hope when Stefan responds, "NO" at first, but that glimmer was quickly diminished as we see Stefan's eyes roll back in his head and his stare become blank. Klaus orders him to feed on Elena.
Now you're probably wondering, (hopefully unless you're emotionally deficient) what is happening to Tyler. On a hunch, Klaus feeds Elena's blood to Tyler, hoping it will cure another failed transformation...and cure it, it does. After a fit of convulsion, Tyler whips his head up to reveals his yellow wolf eyes and a brand new pair of fangs.
Elena wakes up in the hospital, where a compelled nurse is taking her blood for Elena's "friend Klaus" and administering a sedative. Damon, once again comes to the rescue. He threatens Klaus with Michael knowing his and Rebecca's whereabouts and carries Elena back to the boardinghouse. "He's really gone this time," she comments in anguish over Stefan. "I saw it happen." "Where were you, Damon?" She asks with eyes full of tears. "I shouldn't have left. I promise you, I will never leave you again." Stefan enters. Apparently, with Klaus in a temporary hiatus, he has left Stefan in charge of Elena. Yeah, that's going to work out splendidly.
With the night over, Tyler okay, Matt seeing Vicki, and Elena and Damon together (cough, still in speculation), we find Jeremy and Katherine in Shiloh at the tomb of the Michael, the only one who knows how to kill Klaus. Sliding the lid off his grave, the Micheal's eyes open...cut to the end title sequence.
As always, questions, comments, theories, ideas???

Warning: Trust Can Cause Harm...Especially If You're Dean Winchester
Thankfully we didn't have long too wait before we saw our boys rescued from Sioux Falls General Hospital. Dressed as a detective, Bobby walks into Dean's room, finding him on the floor. "They gave me morphine. A lot. Look a monster broke my leg," says Dean. It was quite amusing, you know, despite the fact that they were going to be eaten. Dean is to meet Bobby at the ambulance dock and Bobby goes to find Sam, stopping and orderly in the hallway who is wheeling Sam's bed. Quick on his feet, Bobby gets Sam to the ambulance and waits for Dean. Now, you didn't think it would be that easy did you? The doctor and nurse Leviathan walk out just as Dean hops in the ambulance. They make it out in the nick of time. Obviously, they're are Winchesters. That's what they do :)
The three take up residence at an old place of Rufus'. Personally, these few episodes of season seven remind of the early seasons of supernatural, especially when Dean is shown watching Ricardo, a Spanish soap opera. Bobby asked what happens and Dean responds...in Spanish. "Adios, essay," says Bobby. "Hey, two legs. We're fresh outta grub. Wanna make a run?" Deans asks Sam. After Dean requests pie (haha yes) and Sam leaves, Dean and Bobby have an argument over whether or not Sam's recovery is going well. Bobby leaves to retrieve stashes of his hidden library for information on the leviathan and Dean is left alone. When Sam gets back, "Where's the pie?" questions Dean. "I got you cake. It's close enough, isn't it?"
And that's not the worst of Dean's problems. Turns out a leviathan as taken the role of an operator at a credit card company. When Sam swipes "Lenny's" card to pay for the food at the mini mart, it registers on the leviathan's computer. He alerts Edgar, who orders him to find the Winchesters.
Most of the episode revolves around a flashback from Sammy's past. He catches wind of a story in the paper of the Ice Pick Killer. He takes off and leaves Dean a note. Bobby tells Dean to wait until his cast comes off to find Sam and Dean responds by attacking it with a power saw. In the flashback when Sam was about fifteen, he was researching a creature known as a kitsune. Seen most of time talking to Dean on the phone, he is passing information to his father and brother about the creature and how to kill it. While at the library, Sam is caught off guard by a girl, Amy, who snaps at him when he talks to her. "I'm not supposed to talk to boys," she says. Later, Sam saves her from two boys harassing her by kicking their asses.
At Amy's house, the two become acquainted. "All the cool people are freaks," she tells him. Sam and Amy share a kiss. Back in present day and after a little fake-ID-ing (he inspects a body whose pituitary glands are missing, a characteristic of kitsune) he tracks down modern-day Amy as she is trying to kill a man on the way to his car. She knocks him out and little while later, he shows up at her house. She explains that she is a mortician and takes what she needs to eat quietly. For her and her son. She tells Sam the only reason she killed those people was because her son, Jacob, got sick and needed fresh meat. The fever broke and he is recovered. Sam let's her go.
Back in the past, Amy's mother returns home and Amy frantically hides Sam in the closet. Her mother explains to her that they need to leave because, "a couple of professionals in a piece of crap impala" have discovered their whereabouts. Amy agrees and her mother steps out. Sam comes out of the closet and pulls out a knife and tells Amy his dad and brother are in the impala. Amy's mother comes back in the room, threatening Sam. "I told you, you can't have friends," her mother tells her. Amy then stabs her mother to save Sam's life and Sam urges her to run.
That's the last time we see the two of them mingling in the past. Sam appears back at the hotel room and Dean punches him. "No rules. You take the Impala, you get punched." Sam explains about Amy and begs Dean to TRUST him about letting her go. "Okay," he replies. Letting Sam drive, Dean drops Sam off at a motel and goes to see Amy without telling him. He stabs and kills her. In walks Jacob. "You got someone you can go to?" Dean asks him. He nods his head. "You ever kill anyone?" No, he gestures. "You ever do, I'll come back for you." "The only person I'm going to kill, is you," warns Jacob. I wonder how the relationship between Dean and Sam will change if Sam ever finds out about Amy's death. The episode ends with the leviathan continuing the search for the Winchesters.
Why couldn't Dean trust Sam? How long does he think he can go before Sam finds out? Will Jacob retaliate? What will Dean do if Sam finds out? How many people do the leviathan have looking for the boys? And how long can they go before the leviathan find them?

Sam comes out of the closet and pulls out a knife and tells Amy his dad and brother are in the impala. Amy's mother comes back in the room, threatening Sam. "I told you, you can't have friends," her mother tells her. Amy then stabs her mother to save Sam's life and Sam urges her to run.
That's the last time we see the two of them mingling in the past. Sam appears back at the hotel room and Dean punches him. "No rules. You take the Impala, you get punched." Sam explains about Amy and begs Dean to TRUST him about letting her go. "Okay," he replies. Letting Sam drive, Dean drops Sam off at a motel and goes to see Amy without telling him. He stabs and kills her. In walks Jacob. "You got someone you can go to?" Dean asks him. He nods his head. "You ever kill anyone?" No, he gestures. "You ever do, I'll come back for you." "The only person I'm going to kill, is you," warns Jacob. I wonder how the relationship between Dean and Sam will change if Sam ever finds out about Amy's death. The episode ends with the leviathan continuing the search for the Winchesters.
Why couldn't Dean trust Sam? How long does he think he can go before Sam finds out? Will Jacob retaliate? What will Dean do if Sam finds out? How many people do the leviathan have looking for the boys? And how long can they go before the leviathan find them?

That Night
Still recovering from her attack by Zachary Larson, Cassie researches more about Heather Barnes. She can't find a phone number, but learns she has a brother in Finn Creek and asks Diana to go with her. She can't and who does she ask to escort Cassie? Why, Adam of course. After a brief awkward moment in front of Diana, Adam says, "I'll pick you up after school?" "Okay," replies Cassie.
Adam and Cassie enter upon an old fishing village, now mostly abandoned. They knock on the door of Wade Barnes (Heather's brother) and he answers the door. Cassie asks if she can ask Heather few questions and Wade says no. "Maybe that's something Heather should decide," states Adam. Wade agrees and leads them inside, insisting they can ask whatever they want. Unfortunately, Heather hasn't physically moved in sixteen years. Not until Cassie approaches her and says, "I'm sorry," referring to what her mother did. Heather spazzes out and clutches Cassie arm. After Adam and Wade pull Heather off Cassie, she reverts back to her catatonic state and that's when Cassie and Adam notice what Adam refers to as a sigil on her wrist.
Adam and Cassie return to Cassie's house, namely her bedroom (cough). Cassie can't believe her mother would do anything that horrible to a person. "We don't know your mother did this," Adam urges. "No. I do know." Cassie goes over to her fireplace and shows Adam her book of shadows. She flips through the book looking for answers and it is important to notice the little things she and Adam do when they are around each other. Adam simply stares at her rifling through the book. This is how they expresses their feelings when they can't be together. Just a side note. They find the symbol from Heather's arm in Cassie's book. "Does is say how to undo it?" she asks. There's a little spell that Adam believes is the counter, but is unsure.
The spell requires what Adam calls a poltis, or a magic potion. It needs to contain Cassie's blood. Alone in the abandoned house she says, "Can you do it cause I'm like petrified of needles." He pricks, squeezes, and holds her hand with a tissue. Enter Diana. She quickly denies permission for Cassie to perform the spell, telling her they don't know enough about it to use it. "Let me talk to her," says Adam. Well, Diana may not be on board, but Faye sure is. "I've never understood why were not better friends." Really, you didn't understand Faye?? Together, she and Cassie go back to Heather's house.
A quick side tidbit. Melissa and Nick's relationship is on thin ice. Mel is paranoid Nick is going to or is cheating on her and it bothers her. She freaks out on him and says they are over. Later in the episode, the two reunite and it is important to remember that because it will come in handy at the end of this post.
Anyway, back at Heather's place, Cassie smears the poltis on the sigil and says the spell aloud with Faye. Nothing happens. The girls leave and Wade returns. You see a small snake like movement up Heather's arm and she wakes up. In an instant she goes from smiling to psychotic and maniacal and throws Wade against the wall and escapes into the night. I wonder where she is headed...
In the meantime, Diana has consulted her own book of shadows and tells Adam why she did not want Cassie to perform the spell. The sigil on Heather's wrist, is a suppression spell, designed for keeping something in. More specifically, demons. Insects and snakes were used to insert the entity into the body and the sigil keeps it there. Adam is terrified. "I've gotta call her," he says. "Why?" begins Diana. "She didn't do the spell." "She still needs to know."
Faye and Cassie have already returned to Cassie's house, Faye forcing Cassie to let her look through her book. Someone knocks on the front door and Cassie goes down to answer it. The door is flung wide open and swaying in the wind, but no one is there. After closing the door she runs into Heather. "Where is Amelia?" she begs. Cassie tells her that Amelia passed a few months ago. Cassie urges her to tell her what happened that night, the night of the fire. According to Heather, Amelia was trying to protect the circle from "them", but she couldn't stop all of them and one of them "went inside me." "Wherever there are witches, they will always follow," says Heather. "They" wanted Amelia's power. Cassie presses for who. "Demons." Amelia couldn't remove the one from Heather, so she placed the sigil on her to take away the pain, and Cassie removed it. Heather suddenly contorts and turns on Cassie. She shoves her and knocks her out.
Faye, upstairs, answers Adam's phone call to Cassie. Faye goes down to find Cassie passed out on the floor and as she approaches her, Heather steps out with a poker from the fire place. Faye screams on the phone and panics Adam. Heather chases Faye around the house and, fortunately Melissa (in Nick's bedroom next door) looks through the window and sees Faye struggling. Cassie runs upstairs and helps Faye back downstairs where they are once again trapped by Heather, who has been jumping stories at a time. Nick and Mel come in and help with the defense until Heather runs out into the night and gets hit by a car.
At the end of the episode, we see the snake (demon) crawl out of a wound on Heather's body and slither over onto Nick's jacket. Adam takes Diana home and then goes back to Cassie's to check on her and help clean up. "Does Diana know you're here?" she asks. "No," he replies. It is a very cute, romantic scene. Cut to Nick and Mel asleep in Nick's bed. It's a shame they got back together. The snake crawls off Nick's jacket and up and into Mel's ear...Thoughts, comments, questions?????

It Was Only a Matter of Time
Yes, it finally happened. But what exactly? Well you'll just have to read the rest of the post won't you :)
Stefan and Klaus are still buddy and buddy and in his absence, Elena is attempting to fill the void with the opposite Salvatore. Mr. Damon Salvatore is introduced in this episode making chili with Elena for yet another founding family party. Alaric walks in and observes the two and asks why Damon is in the house. Elena assures Ric he is just there to be a good friend and keep an eye on her. In response, Damon and Elena hip-bump (yes you heard me) and the two seem very giggly with each other. Ric gives a disapproving look.
Back in Chicago, Katherine wants to know what Stefan is up to. She knows the necklace Klaus is looking for is the one Stefan gave to Elena. "Please tell me you have a plan." When he doesn't elaborate she responds with, "You're not the diabolical type." After much begging Stefan leaves saying, "Glad to see you still care."
In unrelated news, Jeremy sees Anna again. She is thrilled. Apparently she has been trying to contact him for days, but she has not been able to reach him, at least until he had a dream about her. He can only see and hear her when he focuses on her. She tells Jeremy about her warnings of Vicki. There's a darkness she feels when she sees Vicki but she can't explain. And, guess what? Bonnie is back. Oh boy, love square disaster in the making. Eventually, Jeremy shuts Anna out so he can be with Bonnie and leaves Anna all alone.
Since they are unable to get a hold of the necklace, Gloria uses Rebecca to locate it. Rebecca, after all, wore the necklace for well over a thousand years. Gloria says she see a girl and her friends, aka Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline talking about Stefan over chili making. The necklace suddenly burns Elena and Bonnie touches it. It sparks. Gloria says nothing to Klaus about what she really saw. Bonnie looks for an identity spell to trace where the necklace came from. During the spell, Anna appears, warning of the darkness and the books burst into flames.
In the process of finding the spell, Caroline being Caroline says, "So, you're not like switching Salvatores, are you?" "What?" Elena replies. Later, vampire barbie asks "What's the deal with you and Damon?" Elena promises there is no deal. Caroline is not appeased. Ric is not happy either. "I think you need to take a beat with Elena," he says to Damon. Does anyone care what Damon wants? No, obviously.
After a quick, um bite, Stefan leaves Klaus and Rebecca and returns to talk to Gloria. She tells him the necklace is a talisman from the original witch and she blackmails Stefan into getting it for her, threatening to tell Klaus that she heard the girls talking about Stefan. Stefan does not do well with threats, but unfortunately, Gloria paralyzes him. She will get the answer she wants out of him.Gloria tortures Stefan by cutting his wrists and inserting special devices into the wounds to prevent him healing. Then she rubs vervain all over him and connects with his spirit and finds out about Elena. Gloria realizes she is the doppelganger and the reason Klaus can't make hybrids. It was only a matter of time. Enter Katherine who stabs Gloria in the neck and saves the day.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Forbes asked Damon compel Bill (Daddy Caroline) and to both their surprises, he shows up at the counsel meeting and threatens to out Damon. How is he impervious to compulsion? Damon tells Elena and Ric he wants to kill him. Ric says no. "You're repeatedly killing my buzz today, Ric. Step aside." Neck snap, Ric on the ground. Good thing he has that ring. When Damon confronts Bill, Bill says (referring to immunity), "I've been honing it for centuries." My guess... he is the vampire hunter that Klaus and Rebecca were/are running from. Damon attacks Bill and Caroline stops him, at least until he pins her down. "I'm stronger than you, little girl," he says. "I'm angrier," she retorts. To be blunt, she kicks Damon's ass and heals her father.
Stefan, cleaning up Gloria and still in the presence of Katherine, begins talking with her about Klaus and Rebecca. "Don't you want to know why an original vampire, who can't be killed, is afraid of a vampire hunter?" Back alone with Rebecca, Stefan asks who they were running from and the two share a kiss. "Do you think you'll ever love anyone as much as you loved that girl?" she asks. "One day, maybe," he says. "I can always tell when your lying, Stefan." Enter Klaus. "He's not with us Nick. I can feel it." She also lets slip the one they're running from is named Michael. Another new character???? I hope so.
Everything begins to fall apart. Ric wants in on the counsel and says we have to take care of ourselves, not the supernatural. Elena confronts Damon after his attack on Bill. "What is wrong with you?" "I'm not Stefan. How 'bout you stop trying to run me into him." In a later conversation with Caroline, she tells her she can't admit she is attracted to Damon, she just can't. When Bonnie gives the necklace back to "Elena" (cough Katherine cough), Katherine goes to Damon and asks him to go on a road trip. He leaves and goes with her. That's unfortunate,especially when Klaus brings Stefan back home to get the truth. "Welcome back to Mystic Falls."

Hello Cruel World
And what a cruel world it turned out to be on the last night's episode of Supernatural. We start where we last left off; with Dean and Bobby face to face with the Leviathan. Castiel suddenly starts oozing black liquid, almost like blood, and has no energy to fight. After knocking Bobby unconscious, he looks at Dean. "We'll be back for you," he (they) says.He leaves and finds an entrance to the public water supply. Castiel walks into the water and disappears beneath the ripples, where a disperse of black material emanates. Dean finds Cas' jacket floating in the water.
Sam is still in a heavy battle with the devil and has trouble discerning hallucinations with reality. According to Lucifer, Sam never left the cage. "You're still my little b**** in every sense of the word." Dean and Bobby tangle with helping Sam. He is constantly in duel conversation, finally coming clean to Dean about his hallucinations, but looking back and forth, as if someone else were really in the room with them. And in Sam's mind, there is.
The leviathan spread to a variety of people, including a little girl, a high school swim team, and a middle-aged man, Edgar. And they are hungry, eating everyone who is not them.
Sam Winchester is not the only one who is breaking under the pressure of the current circumstances. "I'm fine," says Dean to Bobby. "You just lost one of the best friends you ever had, your brother is in a bell jar, and purgatory's most wanted are scouring the swear system. Yeah, you're fine." So what does he do? Dean goes on an investigation for Leviathan after they catch the story about the dead high school swimmers. It's a one hundred percent authentic,Winchester investigation. The glory days have finally returned! The only difference is, Sammy is still on the mend and isn't allowed to accompany Dean. But someone has to watch him. "What am I? Chopped brains on toast?" retorts Bobby.
To reiterate the golden days, there is a guest appearance by a certain Kim Rhodes, aka Sheriff Jodie Mills, attending Sioux Falls General Hospital for an appendectomy. Little does she know that the little girl and Edgar (apparently Leviathan who have some authority) are planning ways to feed without being discovered. "The boss wants it taken care of," says Edgar. The little girl transforms into Jodie's doctor and steals the other patient from her room. Mills has a bad feeling and follows him to the organ donor ward. The other patient is not supposed to have her surgery until morning. It is there that Jodie sees her doctor eat the other patient's liver and she faints on the way back to her room. She wakes up back in her bed where the nurse and the "doctor" give her a sedative. When they leave, she rips the IV out. "Kiss my ass Dr. Monster Face." Too bad the sedative already started working. That's when she calls a certain Mr. Bobby Singer.
In the meantime, we go to a scene where we see Dean, aka. Special Agent Anderson, investigating the swimmer murders (with a fake identity...eeeepppppppppp!). Dean returns home (at this point Bobby has left to go help Mills) to tell Sam he needs his help to keep the car running. They get to the warehouse where many Leviathan are waiting. Sike! It's just Lucifer who tricked Sam into thinking it was Dean. The REAL Dean goes and finds Sam at the warehouse, where a "Double Dean" crisis takes place. Sam can't tell who is who and starts shooting. Dean begs Sam to realize he is real. "I'm the only Dean that can kick your ass real time," says Dean. He forces pressures on the hand Sam recently cut, to pain him back to reality, and it works...at least for a while.
Back at the hospital (a little out of order, but it's all simultaneous so it really doesn't matter), Bobby searches bodies in the hospital morgue. I foot surgery patient has died. Odd don't you think? Not with Leviathan on the loose. Enter Dr. Monster Face. Bobby (another tribute to the old days) gives a quick flash of a badge and asks questions. Too bad Monster Face isn't up for interrogation and literally freaks out (apparently they have teeth, creepy ones at that). Fortunately, Bobby is able to get Sheriff Mills out in time. The same could not be said for Sam and Dean.
Back at the junkyard, the boys find Bobby's house had been set on fire. And the can't find Bobby. "Oh, no," states Dean. Of course it cannot be that simple. Edgar decides to show up for a little fun. Long story short, the boys get into a brawl with him, Dean gets a broken leg, Sam gets knocked out with a crow bar, Dean crushes Edgar with a car, and he calls 9-1-1. Unfortunately, the ambulance is taking them to Sioux Falls General, despite Dean's desperate pleas. Sam starts convulsing and the episode ends. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ... Was the first word out of my mouth. What do you think? Is it a cruel world for our boys? (Duh, it was just a rhetorical questions. Feel free to add real ones ;)). See you next week!
