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

Last night on Supernatural, Moose made me hate him. Again. I mean, I don’t really hate Moose. I’m just very mad at him. So, the episode starts with Sam talking to Rowena. Turns out, she needs a book the Men of Letters had from a Grand Witch. It’s a powerful codex that can help her translate the Book of the Damned and help find a cure for Dean. The only catch is, they don’t know where it could be. Sam runs off to meet Dean for a hunt, only to find that Dean had smoked the vamps himself. Because, you know, Dean’s gonna do what he’s gonna do. At least he apologizes for it later.

Sam does some research, only to find that the book he needs, was kept by the Men of Letters in a box. A well, magical, safe as it were. The safe is in the basement of an inhabited house. What used to be Men Of Letters property, actually belongs to a woman who messed with said box many years ago. Well, sort of. She touched it. The spell made her family kill themselves. She was spared, however, because she was knocked out cold. Sam decides to leave for the house without Dean. But, our squirrel will not be left behind. He follows and is…well, more helpful. Thanks to him, they sneak into the house, and Sam doesn’t do the spell right…instead, he activates the box. The woman kills herself…

Dean mentally takes a trip to purgatory! Because, he really liked it there. Benny happens to be in this illusion, and he’s trying to get Dean to off himself. Which, is part of the spell, but Benny is a bit convincing. And, well he’s very Benny. I missed seeing our little vampire friend. Sam’s seeing Rowena, which might be an illusion, or not. She helps translate some of the writing on the safe. Turns out, to break the spell, they need blood. Legacy blood. Sam’s a legacy! So his slits his arm and bleeds into the basin of the safe, only…it needs a lot of blood. By the time Sam has nearly passed out, Dean shows up and is there to make things better. Mostly, he’s broken from his own trance, told dream Benny to suck it, because he stabbed him, and is there to keep Sam from bleeding out.

With the safe open, they retrieve the book.  Dean hasn’t a clue as to why they need it, or even what it is for, but Sam plays it off as one less threat out there. Dean shrugs that off, and goes off to get drunk and nap! Which is a good plan. Sam brings the Codex and the book of the Damned to Rowena…but he doesn’t trust her, so he chains her up, and won’t let her free until she’s found the cure. As for her side of things? She wants Crowley dead. I guess Sam is willing to pay that price…I hope it’s a lie, because I really do love Crowley! I honestly am not sure the rage I feel for Moose is normal, but he’s being stupid, you guys, and I can’t stand for that…
