Spoiler Alert!
Hello people!
Back with a new Supernatural rant (almost at the end, but let's not talk about it just yet). Unfortunately, this wasn't as good as the previous one. Actually, this might have been one of the 'worst' episodes this season. Not that it was entirely bad, it just didn't live up to expectations.
With the show almost over, it's fair to say that we're all expecting things to start moving and, I'm sorry but things look pretty stuck right now. I mean, I get it. They're trying to pay homage to all the things that make the show great but we're 4 episodes away from the end and things need to pick up. Also, this episode had a mix of inspirations that had everything to be great but... It was just messy.
I'm just going to be straight with you and say that this episode reminded me a lot of The Haunting of Hill House, The Shining and It. For multiple reasons. The Haunting of Hill House because of the ghosts and the way they are presented (not getting into much detail in case you haven't seen the show yet), The Shining because of the motel, how it looked and even the key-chain of the rooms, and It because of the kid elements and, again, how the 'monster' acted. Post that, let's really talk about the events of this episode.
The episode actually begins with a flashback of young Sam and Dean checking into this motel where they befriend Caitlin and Travis. Long story short, there's a monster that has been abducting and killing kids (It reference) which Dean ends up killing.
Back in present day, we see Travis, older, checking into this motel and being attacked by a ghost, getting killed in the end. Finding out about this, and believing that the monster from years ago is back, Caitlin calls the Winchesters. At first the brothers don't believe her but they change their minds when the monster goes after them as well. Sam determines that they are dealing with Baba Yaga whose ring had been cut when Dean killed it but then Travis restored it, bringing the monster back to life.
Needless to say that the brothers take care of it, pretty quickly, actually, but that's not the end of the episode (luckily). At the same time all of this is happening, Dean receives a visit from Billie who reveals that Chuck is done destroying all the other worlds, which means he's going to be back to our Earth soon and then the final battle will begin.
Post that, in the very end of the episode Dean comes clean to Sam and tells him about Jack dying in the end of it all and that was the reason why Castiel 'left' - looking for another way. The episode ends with Dean convinced that Billie's plan is the only way and Sam angry at Dean for not telling him the truth as well as the fact that Jack will have to die in order for them to kill Chuck. And if you know Sam you know that he's not okay with that.
It was a pretty sad way to end this episode - with the brothers fighting and basically being 'angry' at each other (more like Sam angry at Dean, to be honest). This is not the way we want this last few episodes to go so I just hope everything works out between them because I can't have the series ending with the brothers mad at each other (and with my predictions, them going separate ways not talking with each other). I'm fully prepared for the show to end with something sad, I just don't want one of them to die or something and things not being fine between them, that's all.
Anyway, although this wasn't my favorite episode, I still have faith and next episode looks interesting (me saying that with every preview) so... Yeah, let's hope the story picks up, because that's what I want to see.
In the meantime, let me know what you thought of this one, I know a lot of people really liked it so tell me on which side you're in (did you like it or not) and I'll see you next week with a new one!
Love,
Daniela.
