7x7: The Mentalists
Monster of the Week: Ghost
Mediums are being killed in a town that bills itself as the most psychic town in America. Dean heads to work the case only to find his estranged brother already there. The tension between the two is palpable, darlings, as every con psychic in town picks up from their body language. Luckily, Ellen uses one of the mediums to get Dean a message—to be honest with Sam and make things right. Dean does this by calling Sam a bitch. Nice one, buddy.
Melanie, the granddaughter of one of the victims, tells them about her friend, another fake psychic that had a vision of her own death. Dean finds video evidence of a ghost giving the woman a vision. In the town museum, they see a picture of the ghost, Kate with her sister, Margaret Kate shows up angry, asking why no one is listening to her. The boys respond by salting and burning her bones.
Despite Melanie’s best efforts, the ghost shows up and murders the fake psychic. Kate was trying to warn people about her evil sister’s ghost. Worse? Margaret’s bones are gone: someone has used them to make her attack. The evil-doer sends the ghost after Dean and Melanie! Sam faces the ghost whisperer, shooting him when the man tries to prevent him from burning Margaret’s bones.
After committing a little necessary murder of his own, Sam decides to forgive Dean for Amy’s death.
The Leviathan of it All: No progress.
Drink Count: 4 for corpses dropped.
The Quotable Winchesters: “You are a virile manifestation of the Divine.” –Snotty hippie waiter to Dean when he orders bacon and pancakes.
Most GIF-able moment:
It's not an insane assumption, Dean.
Notable Cameos:
Dorian Brown Pham of Wilfred plays Melanie.
7x8: Season 7, Time for a Wedding
Monster of the Week: Becky, crossroads demon, Crowley
It’s the annual Winchester wild weekend in Vegas! Too bad for Dean, Sam decided to go on a desert retreat instead. Worse? He sends him a mysterious text, telling him to show up at a chapel where he is marrying Supernatural fangirl, Becky!
Wait, what? While Dean figures out what exactly possessed his brother to do that, Becky motors her delightfully tall husband to her class reunion to make a mean girl jealous. Oh come on darlings, you know you would too.
Meanwhile, Dean teams up with a lackadaisical hunter named Garth to work a case where all the victims had their biggest dream come true right before they die. All signs point to crossroad demon.
Sadly Becky and Sam are not true love: she’s been micking Sam with a love potion made for her by her Wiccan friend, Guy. NO BECKY, IT’S A BAD BECKY! When she runs out of potion, she knocks him out with a frying pan and ties him up. That’s assault, Becky. Look at your choices. When she asks Guy for more potion, he reveals himself to be a crossroads demon. He offers her Sam’s love for her soul in 25 years. After a chat with Sam, she decides to accept the deal. But it’s a trap! A devil’s trap, that is. Before Dean can kill him, Crowley shows up. Turns out he’s unhappy with the demon’s practices. He’s also unhappy with the Leviathans, which is why the Winchesters have spent the last few months demon-free.
Becky and Sam annul their (thankfully) unconsummated marriage and he generously doesn’t press charges.
The Leviathan of it All: Hell is not on their side.
Drink Count: 8 for drinks, corpses, and Becky tying Sam up.
The Quotable Winchesters: “Oh honey. That’s so depressingly…Becky. It’s so pathetic it loops back around again to cute.” –Guy, when Becky says she thought they were BFF.
Most GIF-able moment:
Say what you will about her, but girl has focus.
Notable Cameos:
DJ Qualls of The Man in the High Castle plays Garth.
Next Week: Bobby in peril!
