Last season, Supernatural ended with the Impala containing everyone’s favorite hunters, Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles), engulfed in rolling darkness. Oh, and the boys caused it. Dean killed Death (the ever enjoyable Julian Richings), in the ultimate fakeout. He was supposed to kill Sam and live in another plane of existence, in order to be rid of the Mark of Cain. Releasing the mark released the darkness, giving us the “big bad” of season 11. We all knew Dean would never kill Sam, after all the sacrificing and saving he has done for all these seasons. But what is a world without death. Is Dean death? Does someone step up?
I guess we will see. Spoilers if you have not watched the premiere!

The Road So Far: Just last week was Charlie’s (Felicia Day) funeral pyre, and the decimation of the Styne (as in Frankenstein) family by Dean (Jensen Ackles). Dean even killed the little “not so evil” Styne kid. After Charlie uploads all the answers and then bravely dies, Dean loses it. He totally blames Sam, and truth be told – it is kinda his fault. The episode last week was just Dean steeped in blood. Sam still wants to save him. He even tries to kill Crowley (Mark Sheppard), who had a fit about it, but then vowed to go back to his old, totally evil ways.

Sigh… next week is the last episode of the season. I’m going to miss my boys. Let’s recap first.
Last week‘s “Dark Dynasty,” brought us almost the full Styne (otherwise known as Frankenstein) family, bent on getting their hands on the Book of the Damned. I think they should go meet Dr. Dulmacher aka The Dollmaker from Gotham. They would have fit right in on his island. Their methods were so gross. I suppose there is no real way to cull body parts without being disgusting, but still.
Charlie, Castiel, and Rowena (Felicia Day, Misha Collins, and Ruth Connell) were like a comedy show, bickering in the funniest way possible. Until…

Last week’sSupernatural was one of my favorites of the season. “Angel Heart” brought us back to Claire Novak (Kathryn Love Newton), daughter of Jimmy Novak, Castiel’s (Misha Collins) vessel. She was looking for her mother, gone for years, searching for a Jimmy that lived in heaven by choice. Her mother was being captive by an ancient order of fallen angels… well angel, who sucked souls out of people slowly. It left them with heavenly dreams. What was great about that episode was the dynamic between this belligerent teenage girl, who really craved love, and each of the men. Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Claire were really funny, having fun and trading insults. He taught her some hunter stuff, as did Sam (Jared Padalecki). And as much as Castiel said he merely felt responsible for her, I think he really cares for her as a father figure.

The Road So Far: Last week on Supernatural, we got another Charlie (Felicia Day) episode as she found the Book of The Damned, and got shot for it. Sam (Jared Padalecki) thinks it’s the only way they are going to cure Dean (Jensen Ackles), but Dean doesn’t think it is worth it. Sam pretends to burn the book. The episode ends with Sam about to do a deal with Rowena (Ruth Connell).
In the meantime, Castiel (Misha Collins), and Metatron (Curtis Armstrong) go on a road trip for Castiel’s grace, after the boys find out he lied about being able to help Dean with The Mark of Cain. Castiel makes him human, and away they go! This was a really fun part of the episode. Metatron stuffed his face with the glory of food, and played with the car radio. He of course double-crossed Castiel, but he got his grace back anyway. He healed charlie who was giddy to meet him.
