This episode starts quite intensely, once again losing a character we may have grown to like: Eileen. The casting directors must be super busy, given the constant flow of death in this show. And to see that Ketch had used Hell Hounds… quite ruthless. But not as ruthless as what we learned the British Men of Letters (BML) had done to Mary. They had turned her into some kind of mindless drone. Able to control her every move, they turned her into the worst thing that they could. And now, she is killing hunters. To see such a typically strong character crumble once she realizes what she’s done was kind of sad. I thought maybe it was just a part of a plan to get away while she still had her wits about her. And it was, kind of. But, at the same time it reminded me of Sam when he was at his lowest; constantly battling the need to give in versus the need to survive.
I couldn’t be too surprised to find out Crowley had assisted Ketch in getting a Hell Hound. The very one he used to kill Eileen. The guys won’t let that slide when they catch wind. And then to see he is also quite cozy to the evil woman from the BML, yikes. But, we all know when Crowley thinks he is in a good position to win, he gets knocked in the opposite direction. And it didn’t take too long to see that go down. Lucifer’s little helper not only solved the spell put on him. But he reversed its power, leaving Lucifer in complete control of Crowley, and free. Not good for anybody. Especially knowing that Dagon was killed and his child is in the hands of the angels. Oh, and did I mention the threat made by Crowley about taking Lucifer’s child as his own? Yeah, you probably don’t want to do that to Lucifer.
I was just happy to see that Eileen had written the guys a letter to warn them about the BML coming after her after bugging her room. She may not have been safe, but maybe the guys will be, thanks to her. At least now they knew to look for a bug in the bunker. They also have further proof Ketch was lying. And I still can’t tell if Ketch will stay on the side of the BML or at some point decide to protect himself, and perhaps Mary. He did seem slightly soft for a second when Mary was pleading with him. He is used to being used as a tool for killing by the BML, and she isn’t.
The BML were thinking they knew where the Winchester guys would be, and they did. But they had no clue they had set it up. They captured the ruthless woman who had once captured Sam (Lady Toni Bevell). I loved the way they had the Crowley/Lucifer drama echoing the drama going on in the car with the Winchesters. I mean, both Crowley and the Winchesters thought they were in control, but soon found out quite the opposite was true. We see Lucifer finally “off” Crowley; something I am sure he has been wanting to do for ages. And the fight at the loft between the guys and the BML was pretty sweet. But the sad realization that their mom was owned by the BML was no bueno! I can’t even imagine what I would think! And to have her leave you for dead with the psycho lady of the BML, Lady Bevell, yikes. Let’s hope she is more focused on escaping than hurting them. And the fact that Ketch took Mary with him has me hoping he she will eventually fight and it’s all an act. I just hope they all know how screwed they are with Lucifer on the search for his kid. Next week will be a big one for sure!
