"Supernatural" Recap: "Beyond the Mat"

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

Once in a while an episode of this show happens that has me a bit embarrassed to watch. This was one of those episodes. Sam and Dean get word that a childhood hero of theirs has passed away, so they head to the wake to pay respects. Seeing Dean geek out hardcore over a wrestler was really adorable, but hard to watch! Lawless was a fun guy, and Dean's childhood hero, so meeting the wrestler in person was a dream come true. Seeing all of these guys wrestle was a great time for the boys when they were kids; one of the few fond memories they with their dad.

So I wasn't surprised at all when they went to watch a show. Sam and Dean fight monsters for a living, but watching a wrestling match had them so happy it was almost sad! Another murder happens, and suddenly the boys are investigating! What's going on? Dean suspects Lawless might be a demon. Sam is off to check out the body, while Dean spikes shots with holy water. I'm not going to lie, Dean being completely hammered was adorable. That's so mean, isn't it? Sometimes you really want things to work out for the boys. I thought Lawless was a great guy, and being Dean's hero I wanted him to stay that way....but it turns out the wrestler wasn't so good. No, he wasn't a demon; he just had a deal with one going on. The red eyed demon has no problems taking souls and murdering people. He uses Lawless to find potential victims.

The demon did inform Sam and Dean about Casifer running hell. That's bad news for Crowley, the boys just don't know how bad. Either way, the demon gets killed, and sadly, Lawless gets eaten by Hellhounds. Our King of Hell breaks free with the help of another demon. I'm not going to lie, I didn't trust her from the start! Crowley happens to have a vault of his own, and in it is an object touched by God. When he ends up betrayed by said demon that I knew was bad from the start, and Casifer shows up, things go from bad to worse. Crowley does use the power within the spear to attempt to kill Casifer, he only succeeds in killing the demon girl. And then he flees because Casifer is now angry.

Crowley is on the run, the boys don't have a lead on Amara, and Cas is still possessed by his evil older brother.....what else could go wrong? I'm not sure! What I do know is we have to wait until the end of March to find out.....
