The show starts off with quite the bang! Seeing something pop through the bed to nearly disembowel a woman, intense! So it was clear this episode, once again, will continue to keep the two big story lines in wait. We won’t be finding any more answers in regards to whatever this cosmic threat was, nor will we be finding much more information about our nephilim. This episode takes on a case. While the guys are all over that their mom is still lying her face off to them. I still can’t believe she is working with the very people who tortured her kids. And the fact that she is risking her relationship with them is pretty shocking, but hunter first eh?
Crowley still has his own secret, he has Lucifer in his old vessel, in hell. I had a feeling Lucifer didn’t go where they had planned once he was evicted from the president’s vessel. It was revealed last week Crowley was using Lucifer as his very own hellish pet. I was quite curious to find out just how he pulled it off, so when we see the flashback, I was happy to have my answer. Again, being the son of a witch has come to benefit the King of Hell, the sneaky bastard. Little did Crowley know, this case would get quite personal for him, and his devilish plans would need to wait. Crowley wasn’t too pleased to be asked to assist in the case when he learned from Lucifer that his nephilim lived. Now they ask for help locating Crowley’s son? No bueno. It’s obvious this case involved a ghost, and Crowley’s son may know just who it was. Rowena is their only hope in locating him though since Crowley refuses.
We did get to see a little update on Kelly as mentioned before. She is still on the run, scared, yet protective of the satanic spawn she is carrying. I wasn’t too surprised to see that angels and demons had tracked her down. It was kind of humorous watching her interaction with Dagon. She was still terrified after she had saved her from two angels, hell bent on killing her and her spawn. And who could blame her? She was a normal woman but weeks ago, and now she has one of Lucifer’s soldiers talking to her about good vs evil. She does have a point though; we have seen time and time again, nothing is black and white in this show. Dagon’s intentions would fall into the grey area if I could guess. But finding out just what Dagon wants will have to wait, I guess.
The family reunion Sam and Dean put together between Gavin, (Crowley’s son) and Rowena, was almost sweet. She did seem quite happy to meet him, but it is Rowena, so who knows. But they guys were right about him being the key the mystery at the museum. His one true love Fiona, was indeed their ghost and she’s attached to the locket he got her. She smuggled herself aboard the ship and perished. How sad! She kept targeting caretakers and teachers of children, which made it easier for the guys to track down her next victims. Unfortunately, not before one of them was killed. This Fiona girl was not waiting; she went straight for the kill. Whatever teacher hurt her did some serious damage to make her that angry.
I was surprised Gavin was so willing to sweet talk Fiona given her current state. It seems he is a lot nicer than his grandmother and father. Or, at the very least, more cooperative. The scene where Fiona materialized in front of Gavin and transitioned from decayed to how she looked in life was very well done. I always appreciate those types of scenes in this show. They’re short, but effective. But, I digress. When we learn how she became so angry, I understood. She had some pretty unthinkable things happen to her at the hands of the deck crew. I would be angry and hostile too if a teacher I had trusted told me after those things occurred that I deserved it. That was hard to hear, fiction or not. Gavin felt the same; it was written on his face.
To see Gavin willing to sacrifice his life to stop Fiona from killing was surprising. He really is the opposite of his grandmother and father. To mess with the flow with time would be pretty tricky, so one would think. And of course Crowley was not about that life. He didn’t want his son banished to the past, to his death essentially. And who could blame him? I sure didn’t, I can’t imagine any parent being okay with sending their child off to their demise. I kind of feel bad for Crowley in this episode; it’s hard not to. You see him struggle to prevent his son from leaving, and failing. And for once, we see real emotion in his eyes. Sad stuff. When Rowena revealed her true reason for sending her grandson away, it made me feel for him more. What a cold woman his mother is. Sacrificing her own kin because of the pain she felt from losing someone at the hands of Crowley. These two really have no boundaries for how low they will go with one another.
At the end of this episode Mary FINALLY spills the beans to the guys about working with the British Men of Letters. Dean, of course asked the question I predicted he would, “where does this leave us?” A pretty valid question considering their distrust for them, and their checkered past. Mary is pretty naive to think this won’t change things. I know I couldn’t trust her after going behind their backs like that. Especially with those creeps. I can’t even imagine what kind of case she plead to them. Hopefully we find out next week, but as of right now, I don’t think it’s a good idea working with them.
