The Nazi Necromancers are back, and there are no shortage of burned bodies to prove it. When the episode started, attention was on a gold pocket watch from 1931 adorned with Nazi symbols. I don’t know about you, but that isn’t something I would want to spend money on, historical or not. I felt bad when the elderly man selling said watch went up in flames, even if he was kind of a jerk. It wasn’t too surprising that the woman also became toasted when she tried to walk away with the watch. It also wasn’t too surprising to see Dean still visibly upset about his mom being MIA, a plot that along with the Lucifer plot gets left behind this episode, yet again.
When the guys get to the antique shop where the presumed spontaneous combustions took place, I found amusement in their reactions as the Nazi connection slowly revealed itself to them. I mean, shoot, the antique owner’s office was like a mini museum to Nazi Germany and Hitler. Creepy. Sam deduced rather quickly that The Thule, the Nazi Occult group was connected. But knowing who to go after doesn’t make it any easier. These guys have been fighting with magic on their side for over 60 years, they would have the upper hand for sure. Or so I thought, but as we say later in the episode, they got defeated quite easily… but I digress.
It didn’t take The Thule very long to claim their next victim. This time, a woman’s random Tinder date. The poor guy was looking for some hot action, but being burned alive by crazy Nazi’s could not be what he had in mind. That’s a quick way to end a date. At least the woman was able to escape. Unfortunately, she cut herself in the process, leaving the Nazi’s a way to track her; necromancer’s using blood magic and all. Sam and Dean still had no idea as to what exactly The Thule was up to, they just knew it was big.
And boy were they right. I was surprised when they revealed that the woman The Thule was after was a descendant from Hitler. What shocked me more was the fact that the watch from the beginning of the episode actually carried Hitler’s soul within it. That is the last thing anyone would want, Hitler back from the dead, and that was indeed the plan. It shows how cold blooded these Nazi’s really were when the head guy asks for his son to be killed. After all, it didn’t take many threats from Dean for his son to spill the beans on The Thule and all they had done and what was planned. And one thing Nazi’s don’t like is weakness.
For the most part I feel like this episode was good, but felt rushed and seemed to go quickly. They found the heir of Hitler, she gets kidnapped by The Thule, they get her back and fight The Thule, she’s taken again. The Thule find her once again, take her blood, and bring Hitler back. This is where it was amusing, and I almost felt guilty laughing. I mean Hitler is one of the most hated men in history, yet the portrayal of him was quite humorous. From his dancing around, to his scaring his men with his cheerfulness. But, the happiness doesn’t last long for Hitler. As always, Dean and Sam, with the help of heir of Hitler, and The Thule leader’s son, they’re all taken out. A shot to the head and burned, the only way to truly stop a necromancer. It’s pretty awesome that Dean can say he killed Hitler, something we see he can’t get enough of saying. But I am sure this isn’t going to be the last time we see these crazy Nazi Necromancer’s or Christoph the son the Winchester’s let go. Hopefully the next episode will have more meat to it, and will learn where Castiel or Mary have been. Or even get an update on Rowena, Lucifer, or Crowley.
