This season has been interesting. We seem to either have Kevin/Castiel/Crowley episodes or Benny episodes, with a lot of Amelia flashbacks mixed in to both, though those are likely at an end after this week's particular happenings, in the form of a Benny episode!
Everyone's favorite southern Vampiman (that's vampire gentleman, duh) has been revisiting his roots, by which I mean he's been working at a gumbo shack with his great granddaughter Elizabeth. How weird would that be? Super weird. Unbeknownst to Dean, however, Sam has hired previously crazy former hunter Martin, the one from the mental institution (you remember - Pudding!), to keep an eye on Benny. And Martin just so happens to witness what he assumes to be Benny eating on a poor innocent humanoid.
Well, Dean is, of course, less than inclined to believe this yarn to be the truth, particularly coming from Martin, and gets Sam to let him have a couple hours to figure out what's going on before they go in all machetes hot. Dean tracks down Benny, who says that he hasn't been munching, oh no, it's just been this other vampire Desmond who wants Benny to join a new nest, so he's been killing people to taunt him. Mind you, Benny is telling him this all while cleaning his hands of blood from another victim.
Dean heads back to tell Sam and Martin of his findings, and Martin is very much not willing to believe this story, and proceeds to knock Dean out. They handcuff him to the radiator and go off after Benny. But before they find him, Sam gets a text message from Amelia telling him she needs help and to come quick. Which he does in, like, two seconds, leaving Martin all alone in the middle of nowhere.
You see, Sam has been flashing back to more Amelia memories. Lest you forget, last we saw, they had found out that her husband Don, formerly presumed dead, had actually turned back up alive. I think he was in the war or something? I can't remember if we were told this a long time ago or not, but sure. Anyway, basically Amelia has some thinking to do, but when Don actually pays Sam a visit at the bar and is generally nice and tells him he hopes they both can respect Amelia's decision, whatever it is, Sam decides to make it easy on her and take himself out of the equation. Only he isn't over her, clearly, as evidenced by the dramatic racing off. When he gets to her place, though, she's just fine, having a drink and watching TV with ole Don. Wait a minute...
Meanwhile, Dean and Benny team up to take out Desmond, after which Dean tells Benny he's going to have to leave his hometown for good, lay low, that sort of thing that seems like it would make life rather terrible. In any event, he does make to drive off after seeing Elizabeth one last time, but this exit is to be very much short lived, thanks to that pesky Martin, who was surely pissed after not only getting left by Sam but also after getting a talking to from Dean about leaving Benny alone. Because, duh, he decidedly does NOT leave Benny alone, rather taking Elizabeth hostage to get Benny to come back and face him.
This decision is ultimately Martin's demise, though for a while there we were lead to believe that maybe Benny was going to let himself be sacrificed. Why we should believe he would willingly go back to Purgatory, I don't know, but whatever. He killed Martin in front of Elizabeth, then presumably hightailed it out of there, leaving poor Elizabeth to call up Dean to help with the bloody mess.
Meanwhile, Sam has grown suspicious about the whole text thing and calls up the number that came up for Amelia. Turns out, the number belongs to one of the cell phones sitting in Dean's glove compartment. He switched out Amelia's number in Sam's phone with the dummy one and sent the fake text to get Sam out of the way while he dealt with the Benny situation. Oh man, Sam is straight pissed about that, he even hangs up on him.
Lest brotherly angst be what we end on, Sam turns around to find himself face to face with Amelia, who apparently saw him lurking outside her window. Ah shizzzzz!
Random Thoughts:
- I enjoy the many random mentions of John Winchester the show has been sprinkling around lately. Perhaps because of this casting announcement?
- Was that a real wound on Jensen's forehead?
- That old dude's ears in the very beginning were so gigantor. Not relevant, you say? These are random thoughts, man, anything goes.
- I kind of hope they don't get Amelia involved in the supernatural shenanigans, I kind of enjoyed that it was all completely normal with her.
- The look on Dean's face when he realized he had flirted with Benny's great granddaughter? Priceless.
- BTW, if any of you are interested in the Supernatural official season 7 companion book, I'm having a giveaway. It ends December 7th, so go enter if you haven't already!

- Supernatural 10x19 "the Werther Project"
As you may remember from last week, Sam is making a deal with Rowena to decode the book of the damned to find the spell to remove the Mark from Dean. Just what are her terms? She wants Sam to kill Crowley. Sam is quick to agree, because obviously he's...
- Supernatural 8x19 "taxi Driver"
Well, I must say, I was really not spoiled much at all for this episode, and apparently did not pay attention during the guest star names either, so whoa! Surprise for me! After last week's run of the mill episode, we return back to the season arc...
- Supernatural 8x10 "torn And Frayed"
Well, kids, hiatus is over. For me it really flew by, but I'm sure some of you were chomping at the bit, much like a leviathan, for new episodes. There was a whole lot going on in this episode too. Really it should've just been called "breaking...
- Supernatural 8x08 "hunteri Heroici"
You know, I quite enjoyed this episode. It was pretty light, had not a lot to do with the overall tablet storyline, and that was actually quite a welcome relief, particularly in light of the fact that when I saw the preview for next week I went, "ugh."...
- Supernatural 8x01 "we Need To Talk About Kevin"
Well, kids, it's time for Supernatural season eight. Honestly I kind of can't believe that the show has been on for eight seasons now. That's a little bit insane, and if I'm being totally honest, it's not as magical for me as it once...
