THIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...

This season Supernatural has really been stepping out of its usual repertoire and giving us episodes that remind us of the earlier seasons. There has been a lot going on, especially with last week’s episode. Still, time is slowing a bit, and the show is pacing itself with episodes like the one that premiered Thursday.

Sam and Dean are respectively dealing with their own things. More so, Sam is finally coming to terms with what happened in the cage. The long awaited apology has finally happened! Sam finally acknowledged the elephant between the two of them. Sam admits his guilt for leaving Dean in purgatory and not looking for him….Dean has long since forgiven Sam. But, our little Moose has a tendency to hold on to things.
 
Especially when it comes to his big brother Dean. For once, our Winchesters talked about their feelings. Well, a bit. Sam opened up at some point and that was a nice change of pace. Otherwise the whole episode was filled with that classic feel. Hunting a Banshee in an old folks home while a few not important side characters got murdered violently. Lucifer is roaming the earth in Castiel’s body, which hosts a whole other bottle of issues. Like where is Cas? Is he okay? What made the little idiot decide to do that? Stupid baby in a trench coat. I need Gabriel to come and save them both! Or Chuck….
 
I loved the feel of the whole thing. This really was a lovely dose of nostalgia. Of course Sam and Dean save the day, well, actually it’s an old woman who saves the day. But watching her hit on Dean the entire episode was fantastic. And the deaf girl hitting on Sam was utterly adorable. Though, guys, Cas and Dean’s conversation? What even. I’m sitting there yelling at the TV the whole time, like what are you even doing Dean! I know he doesn’t know that Cas is really Lucifer, but come on! You can tell Cas is a bit off! He even tells Sam that he thinks something is up with Cas!
 
Okay, so Luci is plotting, Sam and Dean are actually getting along. And, well, Dean is of course holding his feelings in…Dean does seem to have a thing going on with Amara…..and I feel that’s going to end badly.
