The Boys Are Back In Town: Supernatural Episode Eight

The Boys Are Back in Town

(Probably Time To Flee)

EPISODE EIGHT:

Episode eight is a unique place in the episode line up: over the years it has marked a mini-hiatus and as a result been a heck of a cliff-hanger. At the same time, it has lined up the following episodes to lead into a mid-season finale by soft-balling information and not being too intense, but just the right blend of comedic and dramatic. And then…well, and then there was “Bugs” – and what can we say about that one that hasn’t already been said?
