Intro

SPEAKER_00

Hello and welcome back to the show. As always, I'm your driver Spencer sitting shotgun as a brack, and this week with a podcast asking the important questions. Like, is shit and getting real dire? Is this goodbye forever? Is Sam gonna be okay?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_00

This is be afraid of the dark.

SPEAKER_01

The amount of times that we say shit is dire, we're gonna have to make that hat.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that would be a great hat. Shit is a shit is dire hat would be awesome. Uh anyway, this is uh the

"No Rest for the Wicked" Discussion

SPEAKER_00

season three finale, season three, episode sixteen, No Rest for the Wicked, written by Eric Kripke, directed by Kim Manners. I just have one question. Why did they do this? Why are they like this?

SPEAKER_01

This was a fast season, dude.

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah, it's it's I mean it's it's what, like it's short. It's short by like four or six episodes shorter.

SPEAKER_01

Six episodes, I think. Usually it's a bit more than a sort of thing. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So it's like six episodes. Uh and you definitely f feel that.

SPEAKER_01

It gets a little rushy.

SPEAKER_00

They do a really great job of not making it feel overly rushy, but it it is definitely you feel it, and we'll talk about that a lot in the retrospective, but y you you feel it. Yeah. Um, however, season three, miracle that it's it's good. You know, miracle that this is a good season of television.

SPEAKER_01

100%. And speaking of retrospective, we will be doing a QA again. So please leave your comments on this video or this TikTok.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Do it, you losers.

SPEAKER_01

You're not a little bit more. You like supernatural? Your questions were.

SPEAKER_00

Leave a question about supernatural. I'm just here for the supernatural. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And was it supernatural this episode?

SPEAKER_00

It was supernatural this episode. Leave your questions. We really enjoy doing that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um anything else you want to say before we jump into the the nitty-gritty?

SPEAKER_01

Um, I think Sam Winchester has suffered more than Jesus.

SPEAKER_00

I think Dean Winchester has also suffered more than Jesus.

SPEAKER_01

I think collectively they've suffered more than Jesus.

SPEAKER_00

These poor, these collectively, individually, say what you gotta say.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um that's gonna make some people mad that we said that, but it is what it is.

SPEAKER_01

We've said that multiple times.

SPEAKER_00

The supernatural fan base is cool. Um okay, so I guess we're just gonna start. This is opening on Dean frantically running through the woods.

SPEAKER_01

Evil deadass cinematography.

SPEAKER_00

Evil deadass cinematography, uh him frantically breathing, running, and then we start, we get hellhound vision as he sees a hellhound and it starts chasing him, and as it catches him, he wakes up and he's having uh a nightmare and or a hallucination, depending on what you want to take.

SPEAKER_01

And that's what happens when you fall asleep on top of the the the studio not what not studious, what's the word? Academic book about hellhounds with the picture of it. Would you consider not falling asleep on that?

SPEAKER_00

Uh maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I you know I could call him, but uh the concept of creating something that's just recycled Dean Winchester lines and you can make him answer you.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's kind of fun.

SPEAKER_00

That'd be a great somebody who makes like raspberry pies and shit. If you know what a raspberry pie is, make make us one of those things that we just can like call it in and we'll just be recycled Dean lines. Anyway, he wakes up, Sam walks in, Sam's trying to be like, find anything good in there, and Dean closes the book, says no, and he goes, Well, Bobby did. And Bobby has found a way to find Lilith. And that is good news. Dean does not seem overly happy about it. Uh, anything else important happening?

SPEAKER_01

He's looking at Sam and getting the Hellhound hallucination of Sam doing the creepy faces in the room.

SPEAKER_00

The creepy, like flinging your face around and face looks kind of dead.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh so Dean is having full-on hallucinations because the hellhounds are on his ass. Um, so we cut to Bobby and he has this contraption set up over a map of the United States.

SPEAKER_01

It's a very intense locator ritual.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and so he he they ask him, like, is this really gonna find him? He goes, kid, when I get done, we'll know the street. My goat. Which is great. Bobby, you're a goat. I love you. My goat. Kisses to you, Bob.

SPEAKER_01

Uh calling him Bob.

SPEAKER_00

We're cool like that. I told you. Bobbert? Yeah, no Bobberino. Bobster.

SPEAKER_01

I wish we knew you like that, Jim Beaver.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, straight. Um, so he comes in clutch and he does the ritual and it points straight to the street. Lilith is on.

SPEAKER_01

In New Harmony, Indiana.

SPEAKER_00

New Harmony, Indiana, and Sam and Dean are like, or sorry, uh Bobby and Sam are like, all right, let's let's pack up, let's go. We're going, and Dean's like, wait a minute. And he starts arguing, and you can tell there's a there's a fear. There's a lot of fear. Yeah. He is uh the line comes down to him when he says is we either go in smart or we don't go in at all. Yeah. Which is true. That's I mean, Dean is speaking an unfair thing to say. Dean is speaking facts, and he's like, Well, we we have no way to do this.

SPEAKER_01

We have no we don't know any intel and and we only know it's Lilith because Bella told us, and I quote, when that bitch breathes, the air comes out crooked.

SPEAKER_00

Crazy line. Dean's.

SPEAKER_01

Crazy thing to say about someone who died like a day ago.

SPEAKER_00

Dean's speaking crazy lines. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, also it just makes me laugh that this one's New Harmony, and then the last time it was Providence.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Just a sense of humor with demons, as always. It's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_00

So uh Dean essentially shuts down the whole idea of uh going, and then Sam's like, well, I figured out how to solve all our issues.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

We summon Ruby, and Dean does not take that well.

SPEAKER_01

No, he's not amused by that.

SPEAKER_00

They start getting into a screaming match, and Bobby's like trying to yell at him be like, Sam's right.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It's our only option without the cult.

SPEAKER_01

She is the quote, she is the missed universe of lying skanks.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. He's really crazy lying. He's really throwing stuff in the game.

SPEAKER_01

Endgame insane this episode.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. So Dean walks away as if the conversation's done, and Bobby just grabs his coat and without even looking at Sam's like, where are you going? Bobby's like, to find something else. And he just walks off because he's got to figure out a new plan. Uh so there we're and we're we're in a bad, we're in a bad spot. Except Sam ignores Dean. He goes into the cellar of Bobby's cabin or whatever, and does a summoning ritual, trying to be quiet so Dean doesn't hear. Ruby shows up and Ruby's like, We he wants the knife from her. And he's he's kind of not trusting her and being a little standoffish, and essentially comes down to him wanting the knife and her saying, No, the only way this works, I've been lying to Dean about not saving him because you weren't ready. Because if I told you the truth, you two would go in half-cocked and get yourselves killed. Yeah. And what she essentially tells him is his powers are just dormant. They uh they need to be woken up and used, and then he could kill Lilith without even moving a muscle, is what she tells him. So huge if true. Huge if true.

SPEAKER_01

Almost like we're getting one of my favorite Sam arcs next season.

SPEAKER_00

Ooh, exciting.

SPEAKER_01

So we find that out, and um she also tells him that Lilith is on quote shore leave.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Don't want to look too hard. He's like, What does that mean?

SPEAKER_00

She goes, You really Yeah, what would a demons do on vacation? Um, and it's it's it's fucked.

SPEAKER_01

Well it's not good. No.

SPEAKER_00

So Ruby wants Sam to use his powers, and then Dean comes walking in and I wrote down a line and he goes, Look at this, our slutty little Yoda. Again, what did did somebody lose a bet, or did somebody just have to write so many Dean lines and Kripke was like, We're putting them all in.

SPEAKER_01

We're putting them all in. Because truly, our slutty little Yoda, she also looks gorgeous this scene. There's something about the way that she's lit, where I was saying they're like, Yeah, Katie Cassidy's so pretty. Um and she's also told, I don't know if you I can't remember if you already just said this or not, but the reason Lilith is so scared is because she knows Sam could kill her. And that's why she specifically is like going after him and quote wants his intestines on a stick.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, so which is kind of fun. Like, we think at first, like, oh, like she's just taking out any minor competition, but nay nay, Sam still has a reputation.

SPEAKER_00

Sam's powerful, he just doesn't know it, doesn't know how to use it.

SPEAKER_01

So uh sorry, Dean also says she probably wants you to be her little anti-Christ superstar.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and and Dean is really shutting down, and Sam's vaguely trying to argue for using the powers. Uh this culminates in Dean throwing just a haymaker at uh Ruby, and her, she tanks it and then kicks both of their asses. She knocks Sam away, she beats the crap out of Dean. Dean literally for like every one punch Dean lands, she lands like four. Yeah. Dean's bloody and beaten up, and then they kind of separate and Dean goes, Well, got my hands on this, and he holds up the demon knife and has taken it from her. And then she's like, I'm gonna kill you myself. And then she's stuck in a uh devil's trap that Dean has written on the ceiling. When did he have time? Did Bobby already have it there? Weird spot to have it.

SPEAKER_01

I assume Bobby already had it there.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I mean, you always gotta just assume that.

SPEAKER_01

I would assume that Bobby has made special devil's trap wallpaper and carpet to wallpaper and carpet a room with.

SPEAKER_00

Great question. So if it works through a rug, could you put it on a wall and then wallpaper the wall?

SPEAKER_01

I bet you could.

SPEAKER_00

Right?

SPEAKER_01

I bet you could.

SPEAKER_00

Right? Because then you could just do it everywhere.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Like that's like those funny things I see where people, when they're like renovating their house, they'll like put a pentagram under like carpet and then be like, well, whoever rips this up will have fun with it.

SPEAKER_00

Like the concept of want to do that so bad.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. The concept of a realtor trying to sell Bobby's house and is like, what the fuck is all this?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I I love it. It's a great concept. Okay, so that happens. Uh they walk off, and then the next big moment is uh Sam wants to use the powers. Sam's like we at least need to consider this, and Dean doesn't want Dean's looking at him kind of weird. They're loading up shotguns, and and um Sam's like, stop looking at me like that. He's like, it's me, Dean, I can handle it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

He's like, he's trying to just essentially Dean recognizes the pattern, right? Yeah, recognize the terrible pattern in the Winchester gym where it's like the second anything happens, they're trying to throw their soul away to fix it. And Dean's like, I don't want that. I made my choice essentially, and this is where we're at. And it's really, really sad.

SPEAKER_01

It is.

SPEAKER_00

Um, but he the thing that I like here is he's like, I want to go down swinging the way dad taught us. He's like essentially he wants to go down his own way. If he's gotta die, he wants it to be on his terms, doing his his way. Um and I respect that, I guess.

SPEAKER_01

And he says, Sammy, all I'm saying is you're my weak spot. You are, and I'm yours.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and they know it. The demons know it.

SPEAKER_01

At least they're self-aware.

SPEAKER_00

At least they're self-aware.

SPEAKER_01

It's only um 12 more seasons after this.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and so it's sad, so this this kind of calms down. Um, and Sam Sam well, Sam has a funny line. He's like, should the eye of the tiger should have been blaring underneath that? He's like, Oh, shut up. You know, I practice that too.

SPEAKER_01

It's so funny.

SPEAKER_00

It's really funny. And then he goes, What do demons do on vacation? We're about to find out. So, old man walking out to the uh the the mailbox in New Harmony. In New Harmony, on this nice little cul-de-sac, and he talks to his neighbor and he's like, Oh, how's that granddaughter yours? He's like, homesick, this darn bug. Typical old man stuff. And he shakes the guy's hand and he walks away and he has slipped the guy a piece of paper. The guy opens it and it simply says, Help us. Old man gets back inside and he steps around uh a dead body.

SPEAKER_01

We can only assume is his his wife, judging by she's an older lady.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but they may also make hint of like what's her name, that terrible babysitter. That's also true. I didn't know who it was. I just couldn't catch a good glimpse of her. I figured it was the her his wife too, but I we don't know. Um so dead body in the hall. Lilith is playing with the humans. Yes. She is off, and the old man goes in and talks to the little girl that Lilith has possessed parents, and is like, we need to get out of here if we do nothing. He's like, she'll hear you. And then she comes stomping in, covered in blood. She's killed a cat because it was mean to her. And like he's like, Daddy, won't you go play with me? And she hugs him and gets blood all over him. All over him, and he's like, he's like, Maybe can we, after a while, can will you let us go? And she gets mad and they all get freaked out, and then he they play it off, and she's like, Okay, let's go play now.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh that's what demons do on vacation.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. It reminds me of that episode of The Twilight Zone. Yeah. With the little blonde kid that's powerful and like the psychic blonde kid that like turns the guy into the kids.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I would be incredibly shocked if that wasn't the inspiration for this.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_00

It's like 100% gotta be. Okay, so we're back with Sam and Dean. They're in the Impala, they're getting ready to go, and it won't start. And if you know something about how Dean keeps keeps that Impala up, you know it's not the Impala's fault.

SPEAKER_01

Oh wow. It's not the Impala's fault. Oh wow, we're really emotional about this.

SPEAKER_00

I love the car. It's not the Impala's fault. Uh Bobby knocks on the window and he holds up. Essentially, he's like whatever the starter he's taken out. The it wasn't a spark plug, it was whatever it was. Sure.

SPEAKER_01

I know what car parts look like.

SPEAKER_00

Car people, tell us what it was. He's taken it out, they get out of the car and they start talking to him, and he's like, Bobby says, Um, do I look like a like a ditchable prom date to you? Great, great line. And and they're like, No, Bobby, not at all. This just it's it's dangerous. We don't want you to get hurt. And he's like, It's this is our problem, it's not your fight. And Bobby pops off top ten supernatural lines for me ever. I adore this line. He's just family don't end with blood, boy. And he and he's that's his son. And that's his son, bro.

SPEAKER_01

Those are his kids, and I just think that's their daddy.

SPEAKER_00

I love that, and I love how that develops and how much that means. It's uh we talked about it in long distance call, not long distance call, um the dream one.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, dream a little dream of me.

SPEAKER_00

Dream a little dream of me. We talked about that where they're just like, it's Bobby, and they just do it. Yeah because it's Bobby.

SPEAKER_01

Because it's Bobby.

SPEAKER_00

And I I love that relationship, and I love I Bobby's one of the best like side characters ever, in my opinion. I love him.

SPEAKER_01

He he get really gets off the yondu of like, he may have been your father, but he wasn't your dad.

SPEAKER_00

Very true, right? Very true. Uh so he does that, and they essentially Sorry, Michael Rooker.

SPEAKER_01

Um, if he could have been on this show, Michael Rooker would have been great in supervisor.

SPEAKER_00

Huge if true. Uh he hands him back the part and he says, I'll follow.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh he's like, don't be stopping to pee every 20 minutes. Great stuff. They start going.

SPEAKER_01

Um It's not even sl it's not even like slow for men to pee on the side of the road.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_01

You guys are lucky.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. The world is our toilet.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh and we The World is our toilet is opening up for Lincoln Park at the center this weekend.

SPEAKER_00

Men have been treating it that way for a long time, and it's time to have conversations about whether that should continue.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh so they're driving, and Sam wants to have the, you know, if this doesn't work, speech and Dean is not having it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Dean's like, no, no, no. My last, my last hours on earth are not going to be socially awkward.

SPEAKER_01

He goes, if if this is my last day on earth, I do not want it to be socially awkward.

SPEAKER_00

Which I gotta respect a little.

SPEAKER_01

I have to respect it a little bit. It's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_00

He clicks on the radio, he's like, you know what I do when he clicks on the radio and One a Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi is playing, and he's like rocking out, and Sam's like, Bon Ju. How many times have you seen Bon Jovi? I've seen Bon Jovi three times in concert. I really love Bon Jovi.

SPEAKER_01

He does.

SPEAKER_00

So that that is playing on the radio, and Sam makes fun of him. He's like, Bon Jovi rocks on occasion. On occasion. And he starts singing and he hits Sam. He's like, Come on. And they they just they sing together, and it gets really great, and Sam gets really into it, and Dean stops being into it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Dean's like, oh.

SPEAKER_00

As he's realizing, man, this is me. I'm in trouble. Yeah. I don't think I'm gonna make anything of going to hell.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And uh yeah. One of my favorite most memorable scenes in Supernatural ever.

SPEAKER_01

Agreed.

SPEAKER_00

Legit legitimately, I think at the end of this whole podcast, we'll do like most memorable scenes.

SPEAKER_01

That might be number one for you.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know about number one. Number one might be the end of season five. Uh where he rolls up in the car. You know what I'm talking about? Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, ass butt.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, like that might be number one most memorable scene from Supernatural.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god. I just remember the Diva who's appearing next season.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Man.

SPEAKER_00

Which one? There's several.

SPEAKER_01

It's kind of crazy that this show just never stops being good.

SPEAKER_00

I know. Well, depending on who you talk to, I always I always maintain that I each season starts and I'm like, great, here we go again. And then by the end, I'm like, I love these boys.

SPEAKER_01

Even when they feed me slop, I say thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Because it's supernatural.

SPEAKER_01

And there's a lot of things I won't do that for, but for supernatural, I won't.

SPEAKER_00

You and I, you and I have grown increasingly impatient with garbage shows.

SPEAKER_01

Call me a pig and send me to the trough, baby, because I love slop.

SPEAKER_00

So anyway, they get pulled over by a cop, and Dean's like, I got a busted tail light. Cop comes out, they roll down the window, he's like, license and registration, he hands him, and Dean does a double take at him, and he's like, Yeah, I've been meaning to get that fixed. He throws the door open, hits him, gets out. Punch, punch, punch. Sam's like, what the hell's happening? And Dean stabs him in the neck with the demon knife. And he He's a demon and he dies. And Bobby pulls up, he's like, What the hell? And he killed a demon.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

How'd you know? He's like, I just knew.

SPEAKER_01

I just saw its face.

SPEAKER_00

They're stowing the cop car. They're clear clearly close to the town. This has been a century on the outskirts to try to slow people down or stop them. And the um the the conversation they're having is uh this actually isn't that crazy. This is what happens when hellhounds are on your ass. How many hallucinations have you been having? Uh Bobby says that earlier.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he says that earlier when he's talking to them about Leo.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he's like, You're going into this fight wounded, is what he tells them. So they say this and they're like, Great, I'm so glad I uh Dean has this scrape who's like, I'm glad to be on the team. Let's get her done. Like really funny.

SPEAKER_01

It's very funny because Bobby, Bobby says it in a way that makes sense, and Dean's like, Let's new Agey please. And he's like, You're about to be Hell's bitch, so you're saying Hell's other bitches. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And he's like, uh and Dean is like, right. Yes, yes, we're very smart.

SPEAKER_01

Uh yes, yes, we're very smart. Uh sorry.

SPEAKER_00

No, no, we're very smart. Fantastic. Genuinely, I wanted to know if that was an improvement.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, we're very smart.

SPEAKER_00

No, no, we're very smart. Um, okay, so then we cut back to Lilith, and uh the summation of that last scene is that they're lucky he has this power because they're probably a bunch of guards all over town. So Lilith is uh at the dinner table, uh, candy and sweets, and a giant cake is put down, and the dad's like, cake again. That's great.

SPEAKER_01

They've been making she's been making them celebrate her birthday every day.

SPEAKER_00

Every day. And so she blows out her candles, and um she looks at the grandpa and is like, Grandpa, why'd you try to pass that note? You're like, Do you not love me, grandpa? And then like looking at the parents, did you know about this? And they're like, No, no, we didn't. And then looks at the grandpa and he's like, I'm so sorry. And she just snaps her hand and his neck snaps and falls on the table. Uh, would be a contender for a gr one of the best kills of the episode. Yes. If not for something else that happens.

SPEAKER_01

It is so jarring though. This is a horror movie of someone else's life.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Like if this was a movie, I would have been like, hell yeah, let's get into it, brother.

SPEAKER_00

So there, then we cut to the the dad's like closing the the blinds, and Sam and Dean are across the way looking. Uh, and Dean's like, it's her, it's the little girl. And Sam's like, all right, let's go do it. We gotta we gotta stop her. And Dean's like, what do you mean? He's like, I I understand this is bad, but this isn't just about saving you, Dean. It's about saving everybody. Like Lilith has clearly has a bigger plan, is going to do something terrible. Yeah, we have to do this. So the conversation becomes they have to kill this little girl inside that Lilith is possessing. Super dark.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But then Sam uh Dean stops him and goes, Nope, that's a demon. The mailman at 9 p.m.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's like the enterprising mailman at 9 p.m.

SPEAKER_00

And and uh demon, demon, there's a bunch of demons around there. Like Sam's like, okay, so we ninja our way in, then break in and kill her. It's like it's not that simple. So they have to play this really smoothly.

SPEAKER_01

It's very video game level as well.

SPEAKER_00

It feels very stealth mission in the video game.

SPEAKER_01

It's a very stealth mission to get to the boss fight.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So uh I love The Last of Us Two. They kind of split up. Bobby goes off and does his thing. We actually don't see Bobby by the end of the episode, so Damn. You you not knowing what you know going forward, you could assume he's whatever.

SPEAKER_01

The concept of Sam having to walk outside and be like, hi, Bobby.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's not good.

SPEAKER_00

Carrying, you know. We don't really talk about it. So uh Dean gets spotted by the mailman. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Also, we cut back briefly to Lilith making the mom read her the world's creepiest bedtime story. Yeah. That's talking about um a town having to sacrifice its princess to a dragon. Yeah. And she's gonna be a good one. She's like, I've already read it 26 times. She's like, again. And the mom starts crying and Lilith Loki having way too much fun. She's having a little too much fun with the channel.

SPEAKER_00

She's on shore leaves from the demon navy.

SPEAKER_01

The concept of in the navy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So uh Dean gets spotted intentionally by the mailman demon. The mailman demon books it, rounds a corner, oh I we forgot I'll I'll do it now so I can do it in one. Yes. Uh rounds the corner, and Sam stabs the demon uh right in the chest. He sparks out and dies. Uh, they've both had a kill now. Yes. So it is now, and let me confirm, uh, it is now Sam 9 Dean 5. Oh boy, Sammy Boy did good this season.

SPEAKER_01

Too little, too late, Dino. Uh, pretty much.

SPEAKER_00

So they kill that guy, cut to Bobby, open up a like a pipeline for the town's water supply, and he drops in a rosary and it washes away, and he's blessed all of the holy water in the town. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

So this is what I dreamt of back in season one when all of you were. I I think I said the literal episode in the same episode, and then later in that episode, it's it's the season one finale or penultimate, I think. Yeah, where John does where they bless the entire fire truck, and I was like, Man, I hope they can do it like on a bigger scale later.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Lo and behold. So cool.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Ruby grabs Dean and slams him into a fence. She's like, Okay, where's my knife? I'm gonna kill you now.

SPEAKER_01

And then Sam runs up and snap your neck like a chicken bone.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, great. Sam rolls up, puts the knife on her, he's like, he doesn't have it.

SPEAKER_01

And Dean's like, How'd you get out? And she's like, The things you don't you don't know about me could fill a book.

SPEAKER_00

Very cool.

SPEAKER_01

Is that foreshadowing? Who's to say?

SPEAKER_00

So uh that's really cool. Uh they essentially calm everyone down, and then they get spotted by the whole town of Dean. So they start running, and it's this big crazy, like uh 28 days later kind of esque scene where they get. They get up on the porch of the house they need to break into, and they're like, What's taking Bobby so long? And all of a sudden all the sprinklers go off, essentially creating a trap around the house for any demons so they can't get in. Yeah, all the demons start freaking out and flailing about. So cool.

SPEAKER_01

Super cool. Uh the concept of a holy water slip inside that they send them down.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, punch, throw. That's like a naked gun.

SPEAKER_01

It'd be pretty fun.

SPEAKER_00

Pretty good. Okay, so Dean, uh, they get inside, they're walking around, and the dad rushes out, and Dean grabs him, he's like, We're here to help, we're here to help. Let's go, where's your daughter? Where's your whatever? And he's like, It's not her anymore. He's like, We know, we're gonna take care of it. And he says, Go down in the basement. And put assault line by the other. He's like, not without my wife. And Dean goes, yes, without my wife. And the dad goes, no, and then Dean knocks him out.

SPEAKER_01

Which is, again, what I expect of you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Dean's not playing around. He does not have enough time to be messed up.

SPEAKER_01

There's no time to argue with this guy.

SPEAKER_00

So he knocks him out and he goes off to stash him. And then uh Sam and Ruby continue upstairs. They split up. Sam goes into the kid's room, sees her behind the like, whatever the netting, the the the canopy. Canopy. That's the word I was gonna do. Canopy bed.

SPEAKER_01

I always wanted one.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. We'll get you one.

SPEAKER_01

I don't want one now. It's too late. It's way too many. There's way too many horror movie possibilities for the canopy. Order it, it's on the one. I wanted one so bad as a kid, though.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So Sam has the knife at the ready, and he is walking and he pulls back the canopy. And the mom's like, do it. Do it. Do it. So dark. And she starts getting louder, and the girl kind of stirs and she's like, Do it! And Sam raises the knife, the girl screams, and Dean grabs him. He says, That's not her. She's gone. She's not in not in the kit anymore. Now they don't know what to do.

SPEAKER_01

And you're like, oh, well, where it is she? And Ruby, Ruby says, Oh, Lilith is way above, her pay grade is way above getting buzzed by holy water.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so she could just be gone. Gone. Yeah. So they go out, and uh Sam looks at Ruby's like, I'll do it. What do I need to do? And she's like, It's too late. You you need time to make this episode. I'll do anything. And Dean rushes out and tells him to stop. Yeah. He has this really honest heart to heart where he's like, we can't do this. It'll kill you. I made my choice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And then Sam mirrors Dean's line from this exact scenario last season. He says, Well, what am I supposed to do?

SPEAKER_00

He's like, you know, remember what dad taught you. Remember what I taught you. Remember what I taught you, guys. Take care of my wheels. Take care of my wheels. It's very sad. And the clock strikes. It's midnight. And it is midnight.

SPEAKER_01

Uh oh. Hellhound came out.

SPEAKER_00

And he hears the hellhound and goes, Hellhound, right there in the corner. And they all book it. They get inside and they the gopher dust.

SPEAKER_01

Goofer dust.

SPEAKER_00

I will never get it right. The goofer dust on the door, it stops, goofer dust on the window.

SPEAKER_01

Great callback to Crossroad Demons episode.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And then Ruby's like, give me the knife, maybe I can fight it off. And Sam's about to do it, and Dean goes, Wait, that's not Ruby.

SPEAKER_01

Goofy S sound effect.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, goofy S sound effect, but then Dean uh Sam is super quick on this when he flips the knife around and goes to stab Ruby. Uh she blasts him against the wall, blasts Dean back, and there's I'll let you kind of talk about this.

SPEAKER_01

Um this has kind of this shot specifically is burned into my brain where it's her eyes rolling back, and she looks down and she's like, I like this body. It's all grown up and pretty. And she looks up and she has Lilith's eyes. Yeah. I like the implication that Lilith is always in a kid's body.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Extra creepy, because the the two times we've seen her now, she's been in a kid's body. Um and I love the way that Katie Cassidy plays the change.

SPEAKER_00

She sounds younger and and she sounds younger. It's gross and creepy.

SPEAKER_01

It's gross and creepy, and she like kisses Sam and is really gross and creepy with him. Give him a fucking break. Yeah, what's with him? He can't get a damn break without all these demons trying to jump on him.

SPEAKER_00

The demons and old ladies this season have just been really into Sam.

SPEAKER_01

Leave him alone.

SPEAKER_00

And can you blame him?

SPEAKER_01

I can't, but leave him alone. Let him. I wish he had that nice werewolf girl.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Rest in peace. Madison. R I P girl.

SPEAKER_00

I miss Madison.

SPEAKER_01

I do.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, yeah, so they're pinned, and Dean's like, I can't believe I didn't notice it was you, and he makes a comment. Um, so what do you what do you what do you want? What's the big plan? You kill Sam, you send me to hell. What what then? And she's like, I don't have to answer to puppy chow.

SPEAKER_01

Crazy.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, and then she just they're all they're pinned, they can't do anything, and she walks over and opens the door, and the dog mauls Dean. This is as he's falling off the table because it's dragging down, blood is coming up, Sam's screaming. This is so violent.

SPEAKER_01

It's so crazy.

SPEAKER_00

Like ripping his chest open, ripping his legs open, blood everywhere. He's convulsing.

SPEAKER_01

There's a lot of spurting.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, this kill is crazy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So good.

SPEAKER_01

And the way that she goes, Siccum boy, is like burned into my brain.

SPEAKER_00

So Dean's dead. Yeah. Dean just died, dude. Ruby looks at Sam and's like, all right, now it's your turn.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

She holds up her hand and a white light erupts out, and everything looks like it's bad, and then it comes back and she lowers her hand and her eyes like roll back down. They don't like it. Very, very cool effect. Very cool effect. They roll back, and she looks down, and Sam has dropped from the wall. He's no longer pinned, and he stands up and she goes, back. And her powers aren't working for some reason. And Dean Sam just goes, Nope. And he picks up the knife and he goes to stab her and she demon smokes out of the body.

SPEAKER_01

She vacates the body.

SPEAKER_00

And Ruby, the body of Ruby, collapses. Lilith is in the wind. We don't know where Bobby is. All the demons are trapped outside, probably fleeing. And Dean is dead on the ground, soul ripped to hell. Yeah. And Jared is so good in this moment where he's like holding it.

SPEAKER_01

Like the big tears just falling from his eyes.

SPEAKER_00

Calling out for Dean. And Jensen, also very good, fake dead. He just like vacant look. He's dead. He looks dead.

SPEAKER_01

He looks dead.

SPEAKER_00

It's really sad. And then we zoom in on Dean's eyes. On Dean's eye and cut to uh chains and lightning and yellow haze.

SPEAKER_01

Hellraiser dimension, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And they they make that comment where Dean's like, oh, it's kind of Hellraiser, and she's like, not that far off, actually. And Dean is like, and this is one of those endings to a TV show where you're like, wow, I'm different. Yeah. Um, because Dean is, you know, got chains in his arm, like in his flesh. Yeah, he's bloody. And he's screaming for Sam. He says, Somebody help me, Sam, Sam, and he's in hell. And the episode ends.

SPEAKER_01

I would have been pissed as hell in 2008.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, dude. I was so lucky. Picked this up when it was on Netflix, and I could just go, all right, we gotta find out what happens next.

SPEAKER_01

Mad as hell.

SPEAKER_00

So they lost.

SPEAKER_01

Badly.

SPEAKER_00

We don't know. The cliffhangers are right. We don't know what why Lilith's powers don't work. So we're gonna find that out. Uh Ruby just got sent somewhere far, far away. Yeah. So Ruby is still alive, but in the wind, and we don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody's in the wind.

SPEAKER_00

Sam has the demon knife, but he's alone.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And Dean is being tortured in hell.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Kripke, when I find you.

SPEAKER_01

Tune in next week.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Tune in next week as we cry some more. Yay. Um, so that's the end of it. So did we miss anything? I mean, there's a this is like a very quotable episode.

SPEAKER_01

This is a very quotable episode. This is kind of an all-timer. I don't re-watch this one as much. Um, mostly for the depression of it all.

SPEAKER_00

I've seen it a couple of times before. Probably two times before.

SPEAKER_01

It's not the episode I reach for when I want to re-watch, but that's because it's just not um fun.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Well, and again, for me, it's just got so much in it, you know, that one of my favorite supernatural lines, one of my favorite supernatural scenes.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Just a crazy ending, good action. This is kind of everything you want in a supernatural episode. It just is a bummer.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's an all-timer episode. It is, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So good. Yeah. Uh other stuff we missed in the swing.

SPEAKER_01

No, I'm just bombed. No, I'm just um I'm sad.

SPEAKER_00

Just sad.

SPEAKER_01

I'm a little sad.

SPEAKER_00

Just a little sad.

SPEAKER_01

I know what's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_00

I know.

SPEAKER_01

Even when you know what's gonna happen, I I still think on a rewatch, Sam's death was more impactful for me.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but we'll we also get a little more time, I think, seeing seeing Dean with Sam's dead body than we do the same with Dean's dead body. Um I would have loved to be my brother. My brother. What am I supposed to do?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so good.

SPEAKER_01

Um Who's up feeling sad?

SPEAKER_00

Who's feeling sad? Okay. Uh we did it. We watched the season of Supernatural.

SPEAKER_01

And then uh never mind, I was about to say something, but we'll talk about it in the retrospective about the kill count.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. We'll we'll we'll officially that whole kill count. I mean, we I said it in this episode anyway, but we're gonna say it again.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um uh introduced to a lot of great characters this season. A couple characters I wish were in it. Yeah. Um couple characters I wish survived the season. We could have got more of Hendrix, uh, Hendrixon.

SPEAKER_01

Hendrickson, Bella.

SPEAKER_00

Um, Bella, but you know, we we said good goodbye to some divas this season.

SPEAKER_01

We did. We said hello and goodbye.

SPEAKER_00

Um any other thoughts, like brief thoughts on the season as a whole, we'll get more into it.

SPEAKER_01

Um, just that, you know, they really do make the most of their shorter season. They do. I'm sure they had more of a time crunch to make this one as well.

SPEAKER_00

So all-timer classic supernatural episodes in here. Truly, like I mean, Mystery Spots.

SPEAKER_01

Top five best episodes, maybe. I'm I'm sad that we're saying goodbye to an era of just Sal and Dean.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, we still get a lot of that for the next like two seasons, but it does start to go away heavily.

SPEAKER_01

But um, you know, I was happy while we had them.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. We do in season four coming up, I think, have the scariest episode of the show. At least in my memory.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, send it to me mentally. I didn't get it.

SPEAKER_00

Oh no.

unknown

No!

SPEAKER_00

All I'm seeing is the Impala.

SPEAKER_01

God, fuck.

SPEAKER_00

Why is Jim Beaver in the Impala alone?

SPEAKER_01

Yellow white. Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Bob.

SPEAKER_01

Honey, please, out of my brain. I'm having a moment.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, okay, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Alright, so I guess we should just do our uh I was gonna say, you guys should comment what you think will win for our best. Best kill this week.

SPEAKER_00

Which what are your favorite kills of the season? We're gonna do a bracket for all the nominated ones. Which great pivot. We're gonna talk about

Best of "No Rest for the Wicked"

SPEAKER_00

our best lines now. Yeah. Best line.

SPEAKER_01

My best line. Family don't end with blood, boy.

SPEAKER_00

Family don't end. Family don't end with blood, boy. My close second is all timer.

SPEAKER_01

And my close second is a line I used to really love as well. Um, Sammy, all I'm saying is you're my weak spot. Yeah. You are?

SPEAKER_00

We're family, and it's like, and they know it.

SPEAKER_01

And uh in a close third, our slutty little Yoda.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. Uh best kill.

SPEAKER_01

Deans.

SPEAKER_00

Hellhound Hellhound's is the one. It's so cool.

SPEAKER_01

It's this is an episode full of really cool, unique ways to use the lore. The lore.

SPEAKER_00

If we consult the lore, this is a unique way to use the lore. So kept this. Uh the lore is very unique in the episode.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but like, like you said, like the head snap at the table would be a great kill in any other episode, but in this one, it's yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So the the truncated season ends up working quite well. I mean, I think a lot of people think season three of Supernatural is one of the best, right?

SPEAKER_01

I think a lot of people do. Yeah. I think it it's got classics, it's got heavy-hitting plot episodes, it's got good quote unquote filler. It's another thing we've lost. Uh, Supernatural doesn't really have filler, and even when it does have filler, it's not emotional. It just has emotional plot purposes.

SPEAKER_00

So anyway,

What to watch for next week

SPEAKER_00

uh, you don't have any episodes to watch this week. You just have to vibe with Supernatural, rewatch some of your favorite episodes, come up with some of your favorite kills, comment the ones you think will do well in the bracket.

SPEAKER_01

We again love the the when you guys comment your five favorite episodes from the season as well.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that'll be good. Uh we want to know questions for if we want to do a QA, full QA episode if we get enough, and Q and A's in just uh the retrospective if we only get a couple.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um tell your friends about this show. Tell your friends, share it. We want to keep doing it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we're about to we're about to hit the season that the show really takes off.

SPEAKER_00

The network is gonna cancel us.

SPEAKER_01

Not on my watch.

SPEAKER_00

Not on y'all's watch. You gotta get us there. Um no, this has been a great season of Supernatural. I'm really excited to talk about it more in depth as we go. This is a much shorter episode. We're only covering one episode, and it's a bummer, so we're kind of like, we gotta get through this.

SPEAKER_01

He's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. He's not gonna be dead for long. We're gonna be okay.

SPEAKER_00

But hey, maybe we don't know that. For people who haven't watched the show before.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, my bad guys. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00

I'm assuming if you're watching Supernatural rewatch podcasts.

SPEAKER_01

If you're watching Supernatural and you see that we're season at the end of season three of 15, you can probably connect some dots.

SPEAKER_00

Uh no, they introduce a new character named Shmeen, and he's uh uh The idea of Dean being Smeagol and this is his like golem. This is his golem, yeah. Uh plot lines later, not that far off from that.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

Um okay, so between now and then, between now and next we'll next week again, one week retrospective, that's gonna be out. Uh but between now and then you know what you have to do. You gotta get your journal, gotta hit the road. You don't have to watch any TV, but remember you know it's out there. Be afraid of the dark.
