It seems as though we may have yet another villain on our hands. In the parallel universe Mary and Lucifer are trapped, and it seems Archangel Michael may not be the highly respected Angel we are familiar with. Is it possible for him to be sadistic? Because he certainly seems to fit the bill. I was quite amused to see this universe has a Kevin, I missed him, even if he does help this creepy Michael take Lucifer’s grace. Given the fact we still need to find out what the heck happened to Jack, and I don’t see that happening soon. Asmodeus definitely hasn’t given up his search for him. And now the guys have discovered that Ketch may be back in the game too? Yikes, this is getting crazy. But, nothing is too surprising in the Supernatural world. And here I go, rooting for Lucifer again. I found myself silently cheering as he made his escape from that universe, and their twisted version of Michael.

Just when I was hoping to get answers about Mary we see a witch reach out to the guys with news of Ketch. He’s been slaughtering women in search of Rowena. We all know she’s dead, so this lead me to believe perhaps this is a clone of Ketch, and possible the BML has a slew of such clones, waiting to take his place. Then when it came back from commercial, all my questions are answered when we find out Ketch was a Twin, Alexander. And as his brother Alexander confesses, the Ketch we know was the Donnie Osmond of the family. We also learned that this twin left the school for the BML to kill monsters, becoming a hunter in his own right.

The plot twist I wasn't expecting? Lucifer coming to save Castiel. They came to try to strong-arm Castiel into helping them enslave Jack into a life of creating Angels. We obviously know Castiel would have willingly died fighting the angels to protect Jack from that. Lucifer’s time in the other universe seems to have softened him up a bit. He seems to not be as self-serving as he has been in the past. He is still manipulative, but he wouldn’t be Lucifer if he wasn’t. But I’m glad he sees the evil in that other Michael. I just hope that Castiel helps him, because dang, he’s right. If this Michael makes it to our universe everyone is screwed. I really wish we knew what the heck was cloaking Jack. Nobody can sense this kid. It makes me wonder if maybe God finally came back? But I sincerely doubt that considering it’s been so long.

Sam seriously needs a hobby though, because come on. Jack has barely been gone five minutes and he already has a new project. He seems to have taken the same, soft, protective role over the new Ketch. Dean, well, he could care less.

I was really looking forward to the showdown between Lucifer and Asmodeus but without his grace, Lucifer might as well submit and save himself the fight. It’s a good thing the guys weren’t too far behind their trail though. But of course, it’s never easy. In this instance, while taking on some demons, were nearly defeated. But new Ketch came just in time to save the day, further making Dean question his back story. And he was right to do so. His story was complete crap, it was Ketch. Rowena had done the same spell for him as she had used on herself to keep coming back from the dead. Just when I was beginning to believe Ketch was telling the truth about being a good guy, we see him on team Asmodeus. Really? That guy is in the fight for who is the bigger jerk with this other Michael. So let’s hope those two take each other down and leave Cas out. I mean seriously, we just got him back. I can take him being imprisoned by Asmodeus but, he better not get sent into the nothingness again.

Supernatural - "Tombstone" - Season 13 Episode 6 Recap and Review

Written by Kaylynn Kasandra

This week’s episode had just the right amount of cheesy humor, which is one of my favorite things about this show. I was way too excited to see the reunion between the guys and Castiel, since that was where last week left off. I was expecting a bit more of a fuss, so it made me chuckle when Dean left it simple with, “Welcome back Pal.” But he certainly didn’t hide how happy he was. I must say, Jack caught up fast. He already knows how to search for cases, even if he may not quite understand all the monsters quite yet. It was nice to see him seemingly part of the crew now. It was quite amusing to see him pitch his ideas to the guys, even if it was off. But, I have to say it was more amusing to see how excited Dean was about the idea of the case being in Dodge City. Seeing the guys in full Western gear was pretty funny, I can’t lie. Dean’s appreciation for all things Western definitely payed off. It’s because of him they were able to identify the ghoul as taking form of an old cowboy, Dave Mather.

Jack luckily had been paying attention when they were questioning the town undertaker, and noticed the ghoul is her boyfriend. Smart move on the ghoul's part to pick an undertaker as a live-in girlfriend. Easy access to bodies that’s for sure. Unfortunately for Dave, he killed the wrong deputy once he knew they were closing in. The deputy was the sergeant's nephew and he wasn’t leaving the death of his nephew alone.

What I thought was going to be a very lighthearted episode quickly changed moods. Jack once again lost control of his power. Trying to protect the guys from Dave, he pushed a little too hard and ended up killing a security guard in the process. Jack, being just as emo as Sam obviously takes it hard. Way harder than we could have expected. Dean tells Cas and Sam to take Jack back home and that he’d finish up. Which, I must say he did pretty flawlessly. Joining forces with the sergeant, they track Dave down. Though Dave isn’t far behind them and ends up stealing Dean’s back up, literally. It was pretty funny watching Dean’s reluctance to follow the sergeant's path through the ghoul’s tunnel. You can’t blame him either because that seemed to be exactly what he wanted. When Dean got to the end of the tunnel he saw it led back to the morgue where Athena and the sergeant are waiting like sitting ducks.

After releasing Athena and turning to assess the sergeant, Dean was cornered, weaponless by ghoulish Dave. Luckily for Dean he was blocking Dave’s view of the sergeant who had his weapon ready. Just when the ghoul thought he was going to win, Dean steps aside like a boss allowing the sergeant to get his revenge. You really can’t expect any less from Dean. He knows what it feels like to want to get revenge on someone or something that has killed someone he loves. This sergeant seemed pretty mellow though. He didn’t seem to want to question anything and took Dean’s suggested cover story. It was sweet that Dean made sure the ghoul would take the wrap for the guy Jack accidentally killed.

Sadly, it wouldn’t help. Nothing would. Even Castiel’s pep talk didn’t help Jack feel better. Jack being the ever-emotional half angel he is decides everyone would be better off without him. In what I am sure he thought was a selfless act he knocks everyone out cold and takes off. What a lovely welcome home from Castiel, eh? Like he hasn’t dealt with enough drama between his own emotional turmoil and from the Winchesters, now Cas will have to take on Jack’s too. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. I mean, Jack basically still knows nothing about the world other than what he’s observed from the guys. Now he’s going out into a world where everyone of supernatural pull wants him for themselves. This will get very messy.

Supernatural - "The Big Empty" - Season 13 Episode 4 Recap and Review

Who knew it would take a couple shape shifters to finally soften Dean up? I can’t say that would have been my first guess. But I must say it was nice to see him finally show compassion towards Jack. After all, Dean and Sam are as close to family as Jack has. I really must say, Jack is quite endearing in all his awkward glory. And being a Spock fan, I appreciated hearing Dean call him Mr.Spock. It was a nice nod to his blunt, awkward nature. I must admit once again, while watching I was wondering if Jared Padalecki ever feels annoyed the writers are always playing Sam to be the so annoyingly sensitive. Regardless, he plays it well.

Speaking of actors who play their part so well, Misha Collins (Castiel) is amazing. He nailed it tonight playing both his normal Castiel, and the new character we met, the cosmic being from the nothingness. The true definition of method acting. The standoff between both characters he played was pretty awesome. Not hiding my love for Castiel, I am sure that it’s no surprise that was one my favorite scenes from tonight’s episode.

It was interesting to see the use of shape shifters in this episode as well. It was nice to see the opposite sides of using their gifts, per say. One had chosen to use her abilities to help people with their losses while the next had used her very need to help others against her. And pretty brutally I might add. I mean seriously, ripping that sweet old lady to shreds? Overkill for sure… literally.

It was nice to see the shape shifter turned therapist help all 3 of the guys, Jack in particular. He finally had a chance at some sort of closure with having not met his mom. You could also see even if Dean tried to hide it, she really did get through to him as well. Obviously her kindness paid off since Dean and Jack tried to help her when her vengeful ex returned. But unfortunately for her, Jack was as emotionally invested in her as he is Sam. And seeing Sam in danger was just what he needed to bring his powers to light. Seems to be quite the trend with him. Maybe he is a superhero after all. He did wake Cas up from the nothingness knowing Dean wanted him back so badly, so that says something. Or so I’m hoping.

I was just happy to see that the episode ended with Castiel annoying/fighting the Cosmic jerkface into submission. It seems as though Castiel has returned back to Earth which may be the only thing to restore Dean’s faith right now. And knowing that Castiel trusts Jack may be the final piece to help Dean do the same. I can’t wait to see them all reunite. It’s going to be one hell of a reunion! I just hope next week we can get more information on Mary and Lucifer and what Michael’s plan was for them. We already know they’ll find their way back eventually, it’s just a matter of when and how. Knowing the show, I’m sure it’ll be a doozy.
