"Supernatural" Recap: "Love Hurts"

Written by Shae

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

As promised, the blog you have been waiting for! Supernatural! "Love Bound"! Yep, that’s last week’s episode, which hey, this week’s episode already aired, but that blog will actually be on time! Promise! Guys, this cold though. I can’t tell you how awful this cough is.
 
So, You have Moose and Squirrel hunting for any info on Amara, only they can’t find any. Moose does find a story of a murdered baby sitter, with her heart torn out, on Valentine’s Day. Romantic? Baby, this whole episode is about love! Well, once they get there, and we see everything, it’s totally not a werewolf. While the boys were convinced it was a shifter, I was like ‘nah, it’s something else’. Because, come on, it has to be something else. The while thing about the dad being in love with the babysitter was kind of gross, especially with his wife knowing.
 
I loved the spin they put on it with the White Witch, or so she claimed to be. I was shocked to find it being a curse gone wrong. I mean, in the ‘that’s kind of original’ way. I loved how the curse went back to the wife who cast it in the first place. Look, magic is a dick and sometimes its going to screw you over. If this show has taught me anything it’s that magic will always find a way to beat you.
 
Seeing Dean’s true desire, also known as Amara, wasn’t a surprise at all. We all knew that was going to happen,. However, Dean admitting to Sam that he saw Amara, and that there is some weird pull thing between them, that was a really strange moment. The boys almost never open up to one another, let alone about actual stuff like that. Still, Dean did come clean, and Sam wasn’t at all shocked In true little brother fashion, Sammy was supportive in this ‘I’ll totally kill Amara for you’ way. Which, good for you Sam. Maybe the Winchesters are finally learning a thing or too.
 
Things missing from this episode included any snark from Crowley, because, seriously, where is our King of Hell? Casifer is also not around, which cannot be boding well, for literally, anyone. And Gabriel is still playing dead. Yes, playing. Because if Chuck is really god, he’s not going to let Gabriel stay dead forever, I outright refuse to believe that.  Even with these missing parts, this episode had that earlier seasons feel to it again. I’m really enjoying that. Yes, there is a ton we still need to resolve, but at the same time, it’s nice to just have a case to solve and then that’s it. The bigger plot lines are intermixed, of course, but our main focus is the single case. And also, nobody we love died, which makes it all that much better.
