Editor’s Note: Each week Karen visually recapped what she felt were the best and most memorable moments of the new Supernatural episode. The list varied from week to week, depending on what transpired in the episode. Towards the end of the season, we skipped a few episodes, though, usually for scheduling reasons. “Don’t Call Me Shurley” was one of the episodes we had to skip, so we’ve never had the chance to share this visual review with you. As some consider it Robbie Thompson’s finest work, it is appropriate that we present this to you now, during The WFB’s Robbie Thompson Week! Enjoy!
Karen’s Note: This was one of those episodes where I found it extremely difficult to keep my most memorable moments down to a reasonable minimum. From start to finish, this episode was not only the best of everything, it was also so intertwined.
Best Broment
It was difficult to pick one moment as all the scenes between the brothers were pretty much Bro-moments, however, I’m going with a string of moments, starting with ….

Telling Dean to stay back
Dean going to his brother despite the risks
Sam losing faith due to the fogs effects…”You’re gonna chose Amara over me”
Dean demanding God to “Stop this! You hear me you dick!”
Dean hanging on to Sam as he slowly succumbs
A sudden glow in Sam’s pocket emerges
It is Dean’s amulet
