Supernatural | Season 12 Episode 4 - "American Nightmare"


Spoiler Alert!

Finally a Supernatural episode that I'm happy with!
Not that the previous ones were bad but this one was way better than the others. Maybe because this episode reminded (and was related to) Season 2 but it was, overall, better than the last ones. Still, didn't get the 'surprise' momenta that I'm expecting but, I know that moment is coming.
Anyway, like I said, this episode was kind of related to Season 2, which we got a glimpse right at the beginning with some flashbacks of previous seasons (including Season 2). That's the good thing about Supernatural, you can have an idea where the episode is going just for the "Then" part.
So, we are still going with 'cases episodes', just like I suspected, and this case is basically about a women who gets inside a church bleeding and being whipped by something unseen, ending up dead.
Of course, our boys start digging, starting with Beth, a coworker of the women that died. Beth is a Wiccan so Dean jumps right into the idea that she's a witch that it was her that killed the women, Olivia.
The next day, another guy dies the same way. They discover that both people that died were connected to a super religious family who live off grid and which the daughter, Magda, died of pneumonia.
Obviously, Sam and Dean go there to check out and right away we see that those people are weird, mostly the mother.
To this, Sam starts believing that it's Magda's ghost who's doing all of this while Dean still believes it's Beth, so they split up, Dean goes to kill Beth while Sam stays at the family's house.
That's when everything unravels!
We (and Sam) then discover that Magda is still alive and that is considered the Devil by her family (mostly the mother) and is forced to whip herself.
Of course, some of them have to ended being screwed so Sam is discovered and is captured by the family.
He then learns that Magda is just like him (or like he was). She has some type of 'powers' and that she can move stuff and other things, that's how she did those things to Olive and the other boy. We also learn that she didn't want to kill them, she just wanted help.
With their secret exposed, the mother tries to kill all her family by poisoning the food, ended up really killing the father.
As she is forcing the brother and Magda to eat, Magda storms out trying to stop her, making her mother accidentally kill her brother.
Magda tries to kill her mother but Sam talks her out of it.
The mother ends up in prison and Magda is sent to live with an aunt in California.
And you ask, where is Dean in all of this?
Well, as you can imagine, he realizes that Beth isn't the one that killed Olivia and the other guy (even before Sam is captured) and so calls Sam. That's when Sam is captured and, obviously, Dean gets back to the family's house, but only arriving there when everything is already over.
And that's basically it guys.
Besides all this storyline, we also see Dean strugle with his mom being gone, but to which he ends up accepting by the end of the episode.
We also get a little glimpse of the Men of Letters storyline, when a man, which we don't know, goes after Magda and kills her, leaving me speechless in that moment!
Unfortunatelly, we didn't get any Castiel/Crowley storyline, so I hope we get some in the next episode.
The preview for next episode left me really confused so, I don't know what to expect. Might have to rewatch it.
Anyway guys, let me know what did you think about this episode and I'll see you in my next rant, which is going to be TVD (by the way, unfortunately, I won't be able to post the rant tomorrow so it will only be up on Monday).
Until then...
Love,
Daniela.
