Supernatural season 10 episode 181/2/2023 And bravo to the hair and makeup department, too, for making her look timeless such that her age cannot really be placed, and her era is mostly unknown.Īnd major props to the props department, too, man! I cannot tell you how much I wanted to root around in Rowena’s chest. The lace dresses, the long cloaks, the velvet gowns-all of it has been so witchy and so classy at the same time. I want to give a shout out to the costume department, because Rowena’s wardrobe has been utterly gorgeous. But does she want to take Crowley down? Or help him so that she can be a part of the Royal Court? Ruth Connell plays her so well it is hard to tell. She is clearly selfish and manipulative and evil. It kind of fascinates me, wondering about Rowena’s end game. Of course, Rowena is just trying to throw him off track about the fact that she’s going hunter hunting. When she tells Crowley he is so…firm…and Crowley begs her to stop talking? All of us adult children have been there, Crowley. Crowley is appropriately flummoxed, especially when she claims to be seeing a Biggerson’s manager (ha!) who is more meaty than a turducken slammer. Rowena sure has made herself at home, hasn’t she? And once again, a playful family moment distracts us from the inevitable pain and suffering as Crowley walks in on his mom wearing nothing but glyphs. Sam leads Cas away, knowing they can’t fight four angels. Three more angels show up to block the door, so to speak, and that really pisses Cas off, especially after all he has done for Heaven and Hannah her (Him? I don’t know how to pronoun this anymore…) self. What is less sweet, however, is the fact that she (He? It?) can’t let them take Metatron, because he is too dangerous to release from his cell. The affection on Cas’ face as he “sees” his old friend (and kissing partner) is truly sweet. When Cas gets cross, the angel leaves its host and another takes its place. They go to the playground of the angels and see one keeping guard who refuses to let them into Heaven. They’re going to visit him in his Heavenly clink. They know things “end at the source” and the source of all info? Metatron. Sastiel rides again! Sam takes the pickup (Dean may trust him to make good choices but he certainly doesn’t trust him to take Baby for an overnight) and meets Cas and the pimpmobile. The love they share is so multifaceted, and backed by so much history, that sometimes we forget the kids they were in the midst of the mangst. To see Dean, for a moment anyway, forget the weight of the world on his shoulders and prank his brother like a twelve year old was so endearing. It makes the mind wander, does it not?) then to tape his phone down ( Not sure how that’s a prank-his phone will still ring and when he picks it up he’ll see the tape, no? Up your game, Dean.) and lastly to rub Sam’s toothbrush in his armpit ( I think the fact that we are supposed to think Dean smells gross may be the most farfetched thing about the whole episode.) This brief playfulness added so much to the story. Does this look like the face of someone who’s telling the truth?ĭean does go in that room, first to butt-print his pillow ( Recapper’s note: Sam’s bed is super squeaky. And the biggest lie of all? Dean, saying he’ll stay out of Sam’s room. Everything that they say is false: from Sam saying there aren’t any jobs so he’s going to go see a French film about a mime who thinks he’s a cockroach (wait, what?) to Dean claiming he needs me time, and that he trusts Sam to make good choices. The moment is so raw and honest, painful and despairing, that it contrasts perfectly with the joking, lying brothers of the morning. It’s 24 hours earlier and sweet Sam is in bed (rrraaoooThe Padahair swings gloriously as he wakes and runs to Dean, barefoot and armed (again, rrraaoooIt is awful, and I know they say not to wake people up who are in the grip of night terrors but I wish Sam would, for Chuck’s sake. Because Bobby Frickin’ Singer is always wanted, dead or alive. “Sam?” asks Bobby, and as we smash to the title card I rejoice. “ Obiwan Bobby we need your help…” says the voice. Sam (who looks desperate) and Cas (who looks worried) are playing Three’s Company with a mystical dude who is chanting in Latin…why, exactly? It becomes clear soon enough when we hear “The Gambler” and know we are heading for another Weekend at Bobby’s.īobby, in his heaven, is reading when his old tymie-tyme radio goes all white noise before replacing Rogers with Winchester. So much happened, and all of it great, so let’s get started talking about “Inside Man,” in which Sastiel rode again, Crowley tried to work on his Oedipal issues, Dean looked at the man in the mirror (and asked him to change his ways,) and Rowena and Metatron were the King and Queen of the Anti-Winchester prom.ĭark room. It sounds cliché, but it is also true: this episode made me laugh, made me cry, and became something of a part of me.
