"Supernatural" Recap: "Angel Heart"

Written by Shae

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

Once upon a time, there was an angel…his name was Castiel. Castiel inhibited the body of Jimmy Novak, who died when Michael blew Castiel up. Jimmy, had a daughter named Claire…who was very unhappy with the angel Castiel. But, Cas and Claire parted on not-so-sucky terms when last we saw them. I guess. Guys, this last episode had me crying and squealing...pretty much like every other episode ever, because that’s how this show goes. It seemed that everything was okay, but Claire is on a mission to find her mother. It leads her to a dive bar, hoping to find a guy who last saw her mother two years ago.  The confrontation sucks and Claire is left in the hospital. They call Castiel, who calls Sam and Dean.

Claire is 13 kinds of livid about this, but she does spill the beans on whom she was looking for. Cas goes to find the guy with Dean, while Sam heads back to Claire’s hotel room, because our little blonde is quick at running when these three get involved. I’m not going to lie, when she showed up and Sam was there waiting…it was an amazing moment. Mostly, because, how could you not love Moose!? I adore him so. Probably too much…but that’s just me. Sam shows Claire how to hack into her mom’s credit card records, and within minutes they have a location. Dean and Cas on the other hand have a nice chat with the man Claire had been unintentionally knocked unconscious by….Dean might have roughed him up a bit more than necessary, but they guy gave a name of an old employer. One that he helped Claire’s mom work for. See, this guy can cure people with just a touch, some he keeps and ‘cuts on’. What does that all even mean? Doesn’t matter. Bar guy warns healer-guy about the ‘hunters’ on his tail. This gets bar guy killed.

Dean and Cas take Claire (because she insisted) to the crime scene, which was cute, and they find that the stab wound looks like an angel blade, except for the red marks at the puncture point. What is that!? Cas has no idea. Shortly after, Sam decided Dean needs to stay with Claire while he and Cas check out the last place Claire’s mom possibly was. Not such a bad idea, I guess. But Claire is angry about it…so Dean takes her to play mini golf. If that’s not cute, I don’t know what is. Within no time, he figures out what the red marks were! Just as Cas finds Claire’s mom, and Sam runs into the guy they’ve been hunting…who happens to be a type of angel. Were you guys shocked? I almost thought Moose was going to get murdered. Grigofi angels were the first to be put on earth…they quickly stopped helping humans, and instead fed on their very souls. I guess it’s like a drug addiction….

Sam gets free, and Dean and Cas find him, but Claire and her mom aren’t as lucky. As they’re trying to escape, the Grigori tries to stab Claire, only her mom saves her at the last second. Here is where I shed more than a few tears….because death is sad….and Claire lost it all. Grigori are apparently strong…Cas and even Dean and Sam aren’t enough to get the upper hand. It’s Claire saving Cas at the last second. She stabs the Grigori with its own angel sword…because she’s awesome. While her mother finally reunites with Jimmy in Heaven…Claire is being sent to live with Jody Mills, because Jody adopts strays apparently! Dean’s still losing the battle day by day, and Sam is trying not to freak out about that at all. At least Claire is on their side. She and Cas are finally at peace…her and Dean are even friends! Who saw that coming? I didn’t.
