The Boys Are Back in Town

(Probably Time To Flee)

EPISODE TEN:

While true of many episodes of Supernatural, in particular episode ten (often a hiatus episode) likes to ride the emotions rollercoaster. Over the years this has been the episode to twist the knife on some seriously heart wrenching storylines – be it through resolution or devastation - or something in between:

Season: 1 “Asylum”

Local de Hunt: Rockford, Illinois Featured Creature: Ghost

REVEAL/TWIST? John calls the boys.

REVEAL/TWIST? Dean’s worst nightmare is becoming a demon

REVEAL/TWIST? Dean’s heartbroken confession of his sins in Hell

REVEAL/TWIST? Sam has no vested interest in getting his soul back.

Season: 12 “Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets”

Local de Hunt: Lebanon, Kansas Featured Creature: Ishim

REVEAL/TWIST? Not everything is black and white.

Season: 13 “Wayward Sisters”

Local de Hunt: Iowa; Sioux Falls; The Bad Place Featured Creature: Canids; The Kaiju

REVEAL/TWIST? New group of heroes in town – and they kick it in the ass. Hard.

Many times the comeback from a mid-hiatus; episode ten is traditionally an episode that warrants revival and processing of what just happened; if not at least an exclamation of “what!? Don’t leave me there!” Most devastating – and still standout after all these years – in my mind? Dean’s confessions of Hell. Of course, the end of “Death’s Door” is a pretty close rival. How about you?
