I will admit, this episode makes up for last week, for sure. We are back to one of the main storylines, the nephilim. And now Mick is aware of it too. And as we see, Dean was right to question the British Men of Letters (BMOL). They are too attached to their code; much of which is outdated or cruel. They may have fancy tools, but they are cold as ice. We learned a lot about Mick’s background in this episode too. He was an orphan on the street when the BMOL recruited him so it’s not surprising to see him feel he owes them. But the more time he spends with Sam and Dean, the more he sees their code is flawed. And seeing that when he was a student at the “Hogwarts for hunters” he was forced to kill his best friend, I can’t say I wouldn’t have seen the flaws sooner.

We see our little demon baby progressing well, his mother still unaware she won’t be around to see him grow. And Dagon is still on watch over mother and child. And thanks to telepathy, still in communication with Lucifer, unbeknownst to Crowley. Crowley somehow still believes he is in control too, but with the nephilim still in play, that’s impossible. I am starting to wonder if Crowley will ever realize he can’t win with Lucifer, even if he may appear to be winning. Lucifer’s submission would be my first hint that something bad was in the works. Lucifer is the last one to submit, as we see when he sneaks his own demand for allegiance into his meeting with Crowley’s demons.

An old friend Eileen also makes an appearance this episode. She helps the guys track down Dagon so they are able to get Kelly. She was able to track down the demon covering Dagon’s tracks after a doctor’s appointment, but unfortunately for him, she killed him after getting Kelly’s number. Sam was able to trick Kelly with a very poor British accent, so Dean could intercept her. Mick showed up to the meeting place where Dean brought Kelly, with a new friend, an annoying guy who won’t stop talking about being top of his class. As soon as he starts bragging a third time about being the head of his class, I knew something had to happen to him and I was right. Dagon came for Kelly, and as Eileen went to shoot her, she vanished, leaving the annoying graduate in the line of the bullet. Mick, having been raised to kill those who kill BMOL, attempted to take out Eileen, only to realize it was not the way. And in the very next scene, Kelly finds out from Dagon that she won’t survive the birth of Lucifer’s child.

We see Dr. Hess, the evil woman who runs the school Mick and Mr. Ketch attended. And we can see where Mr. Ketch learned to be so ruthless! I can’t believe Mary is feeling this guy. I mean they have been on the road together killing stuff, bonding… I suppose. But to sleep with the guy? Wow. When she learns what he agreed to do, I can’t imagine it will go over well. And what he said after they hooked up, seems like foreshadowing. He said he never saw their hook up coming, instead when he met her he thought, “I’ll end up shooting this one”. And considering the cold blooded way he took Mick out, and the fact he agreed to take out the rest of the American hunters, it could happen.

Can we talk about poor Mick for a second? Seeing him taken out the way he was, wow. It shocked me, I can’t lie. And Mr. Ketch’s utter satisfaction and interest in seeing his dead body, well, that didn’t shock me much. It’s just sad to me that when Mick finally got the courage to stand up for himself he was taken out. I’m just hoping that Mr. Ketch doesn’t use his rejection from Mary as fuel to continue to take out the hunters, Winchester’s included. But that he chooses instead to join forces with them. Because, even if he denies it, he likes Mary and was hoping for more. But at least the guys have the colt back… that’s a positive. And here’s hoping they hear from Cas soon, I really miss him!
