Supernatural

This episode has had me grinning now for most of the week.  Not least because of the scenes where the real Winchesters and the LARPing civilian Winchesters are shown shadowing each other. There’s also repeated lines: both Deans say, “Gee, ya’ think, Sammy?” and two Sams report that “the EMF is going nuts.”

Then I finally noticed the door!  The boys think they’ve solved the case by salting and burning Leticia Gore. However, when they try to leave they find the doors and windows are now locked.

Dean heads off upstairs with the Leticia-actress to deal with the spirit boys and we cut back and forth to Sam spending a great deal of time and effort working to open the door enough for LARPing Sam and Dean to get out and take care of business at the cemetery.

I couldn’t help noticing that everyone (Sam — and Sam and Dean) stood around watching as Dean was shoulder deep and digging in a grave. Admittedly, this is me making unintended leaps, but I couldn’t help thinking about Dean digging his way out of the grave in the season four opener Lazarus Rising. Really, it’d be sort of brilliant if they were foreshadowing some variation on dissociation resulting from Dean’s time in hell. (Now I’m thinking back to Dean trapped in the 4.19 Jump the Shark crypt and discovering his youngest brother’s body. Hmm, one more example and I’d call it a pattern.)

Then there’s the stained glass window of crosses. We see it as Dean and Sam first try to convince the Leticia-actress to play her part in hopes of controlling the boy spirits.

We saw a yellow version of this in 4.02Are You There, God? It’s Me Dean Winchester in Bobby’s upstairs when Meg confronts Dean.
