Apparently the show runners for Supernatural are ruthless. Not only do we get reintroduced to the easy-to-love Witch Twins, but their world gets torn apart just as fast. Why must we always see characters either die or get turned to darkness? I was hoping these two would be spared such a fate, but this episode proved that wrong. It was sad to see Max and Alicia crumble. They could have been great assets in the fight against the upcoming cosmic doom we are waiting for. And perhaps, against all odds, they may still be? I guess we will have to wait on that to see.
You really can’t blame Max though; losing your mother and sister like that could make anyone snap. And the magic in the creepy woman’s ring that she offered, that was responsible for their deaths, was some strong stuff. I can only imagine being a strong witch, warlock, or whatever your preferred term, that you would have felt pulled to it. I just can’t believe Dean and Sam just left such a crazy object behind. A ring that enslaves your soul and gives you power wouldn’t be something I would want casually lying about. I can only wonder how long it will take for them to catch on to that mistake.
As far as things go with Mary. I was happy to see her blinders were officially off. But in true Supernatural fashion, a bit too late. She was already in a compromising position with Ketch, and kind of trapped by the time she had figured things out. She should have trusted Dean, as his hunch was most certainly right about the British Men of Letters (BML). And it seems that they are still making progress in their plans to track and kill all American hunters. It was great foreshadowing once again to have had the episode start with Ketch torturing a shapeshifter in the form of Mary. As we later saw the episode ended with the real Mary in the same position the shapeshifter had been in. But they have bigger plans, according to the sadistic woman we may remember from earlier in the season when she tortured Sam. Even if she lost the fight against Ketch, Mary really did hold her own. If he hadn’t used that taser, she would have won. The BML and their toys… a blessing and a curse for the Winchester’s so far.
It was good Mary got a voicemail to Dean before her capture. That set off alarm bells for him, and sent him into rescue mode. And we all know that’s when Dean is at his best. I kind of feel bad for Ketch. Turning on Mary will bring out a whole other side of Dean. Or at least I am hoping so. And we can only hope their rescue mission won’t interfere with the whole Nephilim thing going on. After all, Cas and the Nephilim are in Heaven right now doing only the angels know what. And they may need a hand going up against the BML. So I am sure it will be an insane showdown. Or one can hope. There has been so much build up to this BML showdown and the birth of the Nephilim that I wouldn’t be too surprised to see both plots peak at the same time. They’re going to need all hands on deck with the Nephilim so let’s hope this BML business won’t set them too far off course.
