Dean: "Next time you want to get laid, find a girl that's not so buckets of crazy, huh?"
We finally got an episode with John Winchester. And he's gone already. Pretty much nothing was resolved, except that the three of them can take a licking and keep on ticking. And that being with his sons is dangerous for John.
I do like John as a character, but I also think Dean and Sam turn into kids when their father is around. And, interestingly, they do the same when there's any hint of sex. A few episodes ago, Sam was constantly amused by Dean's preoccupation with Cassie. Dean was similarly amused here by Sam and Meg, at least until she started trying to kill them. People do get stuck in family roles. Which was probably why Sam felt it necessary to reconfirm to Dean that when they catch whatever killed Mary and Jessica, he wants out. He wants to be a person again. For Dean, it'll never be over. He wants the three of them together again, for good. I don't think he's going to get his wish.
Meg Masters from Andover, Massachusetts is still a mystery. Who or what is she? Who was she kissing up to in the bowl o'blood? Speaking of kissing, I thought it was interesting that she kept kissing and nuzzling Sam when he was tied up. Maybe she really likes Sam. The way he was watching her dress made me wonder if he doesn't like her, too. Evil or not.
At the end, as the three Winchesters went their separate ways drenched in blood, all I could think of was that they all needed plastic surgery. Especially Sam, with those deep gashes on his cheek. Maybe they should swing by Beverly Hills on their way to the next gig.
Bits and pieces:
-- I didn't expect the Daevas to attack all three of them when they did. It made me jump out of my chair.
-- Were the cops done with the crime scene in Meredith's apartment? If so, why didn't someone clean up the blood?
-- Dean called Sam a pervert. So did a perfect stranger.
-- Meg said something about Michael Murray in a bar. What did that mean?
-- The curvy Z symbol was sort of like half a swatzika. Z for Zoroastrian, maybe? :)
-- This week, the guys went to Chicago, Illinois. Dean and Sam wore uniforms from PF Alarm Systems. What did PF mean? And yet more costumes. Where are they keeping all those clothes when the trunk of the Impala is full of weapons and holy water?
Quotes:
Landlady: "No offense, but that alarm's about as useful as boobs on a man."
Sam: "You mind doing a little bit of thinking with your upstairs brain, Dean?"
Sam: "I think there's something strange going on here, Dean."
Dean: "Yeah, tell me about it. She wasn't even that into me."
Dean: "Why don't you go give that girl a private strip-o-gram?"
Sam: "Bite me."
Dean: "Bite her. Don't leave teeth marks."
Three stars,
Billie
