We already knew we would be seeing Donna again. What I wasn’t expecting was to see her niece Wendy be the reason. I can’t be the only one who found it creepy that the gas pumped that denied Wendy’s card sounded a lot like the man who was talking when she walked inside. Not a good omen for her at all! As predicted, it didn’t take long for some bad stuff to go down. Wendy found herself stranded, and quickly kidnapped. At first it wasn’t that clear who the perpetrator was. The lair Wendy was in was very serial killer like, rather than reeking of the typical monster stuff.

Being that they were on Donna’s turf it made it a little bit more complicated. Her little Dougie Bear as she so affectionately called him was right there as the case unraveled. He was worried about her, and rightfully so as she wasn’t herself. But, little did he know, he would become the one they needed to worry about once the truth behind the case came out. It seemed the guys were duped into thinking they were working side by side with the real FBI.

Little did they know, this FBI agent was the mind behind the video auctions they found. The monster in the case was actually human who had found money in selling humans to monsters. A fresh concept I welcomed having enjoyed this derailment from the typical. He followed the serial killer M.O. having justified his actions by saying he only used those who wouldn’t be missed. A very familiar reasoning used by serial killers. He also declared he knew who the Winchesters were as soon as he saw their car. That’s something I have thought about many times in the past. As beautiful a car as it may be, it gives them away. There is no doubt that the monsters all know what car to look for, as does anyone who wants to find them. But, I digress.

It wasn’t surprising to me to see we couldn’t get through this episode without one of the Winchester’s strapped to the table and put to auction. But in true Winchester style, Dean came in at the perfect moment and saved Sam. Creepy auction guy was shot and we think we are going to get a happy ending, but of course we don’t. Instead, we are witness to Donna’s heartbreak. Apparently her little Dougie Bear can’t hang with the monster stuff. And really can you blame the guy? He was a vampire, even if just briefly.

I have to agree with Dean though, Sam was a bit harsh with her. And it doesn’t seem like his sour attitude will be changing anytime soon. He made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t see anything good coming of their lives. And we all know when Sam gets in these super emo moods he makes really bad choices that puts them both in danger. So, this should be really interesting to watch unravel. I wonder if this is when we will see the guys part ways soon. That seems to be the pattern for them when one of them is being overly brooding and emotional.

I’m just glad after last week’s forced Wayward Sister’s premiere we got to see the guys in action. I just hope we get to see Castiel and the rest of the missing clan soon. That will be the only thing to bring Sam out of this crazy funk he is in.
