Hello, Berlin.

Berly:

I don't know how I'm feeling right now about this premiere.

LA:

I mean, it's just the first episode. It's just the first of

Berly:

hopefully many better ones. Before we get into that, we have a new review. This one comes from Brittany catch. Guessing that's how you pronounce it, Brittany K ha. And she gave us or they gave us five stars, titled Love this podcast. Listening to these wonderful women makes it feel as if I am watching supernatural right along with my own sisters, with the funny and inappropriate commentary might keep even the serious moments of the show engaging. And I always wonder what they might say next. Iraq, my youngest to sleep at night, and I have listened to every season at least six times now. Wow. Because both Burley and LA have an amazing attitude. And the commentary and insights about the show between the both of them makes the hours of rocking manageable. Oh,

LA:

congrats on the new baby. No.

Berly:

I highly recommend listening to this podcast. Whether you are a first time watcher of supernatural or a seasoned fan. I can't wait for the future seasons. And I'm delighted when I get the notification of a new episode. Thank you Burley and LA for dedicating your time and effort into the supernatural fandom. I truly appreciate it. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much, Brittany,

LA:

that was lovely. I like that.

Berly:

Yeah.

LA:

I like that. We're helping a new mom. I mean, she may have other kids but what kind of stuff? Yeah. Well, speaking

Berly:

of dedicating our time and effort into supernatural LA has the pleasure of recapping where we were last season that she's so looking forward to it's

LA:

alright, season. Immediately after Sam free Lucifer from Helm, he indeed become targets of both heaven and hell. They are threats because they are destined to be the respective vessels of Lucifer and the Archangel Michael, who will fight in a Dustin match to determine Earth's future. If Dean refuses, Michel Lucifer will destroy the human race with the four horsemen, the living embodiment of the four plagues, however, Sam saying yes to Lucifer will only speed up the devils plans. Additionally, Bobby is crippled and and wheelchair bound. Faced with no other choice, Sam and Dean teamed up with Castiel to look for a means to defeat both heaven and hell whilst battling angels, demons and even Ark angels, I should just stop it there. sums it up. Their journey pushes the Winchesters relationships to the breaking point as they both learn how they truly feel about each other and at points agree with Michael and Lucifer, both from distrust in each other and from not seeing any other choice. The boy's journey also leads to the deaths of many of their dear friends such as Ellen and Joe, while other old friends such as Anna side against them and the Four Horsemen continuing to bring the hell to earth as the brothers seem to think all hope is lost, even after some personal encounters with Lucifer and Michael themselves. Meanwhile, Castiel begins a mission to find God even going as far as to face the Archangel Raphael to find him, only to deduce from the angel Joshua, the angel who talks to God that God won't help.

Berly:

He's out, not his problem. Additionally, the

LA:

brothers tried to kill Lucifer with a colt who regained it from a powerful Crossroads demon named Crowley, who is also the king of the crossroads and wants the boys to kill Lucifer. But they don't succeed. They boys eventually gain hope from the trickster, who is actually the Archangel Gabriel and who also after regaining his faith in humanity tells Sam and Dean that the rings of the Four Horsemen are the keys to loose first cage and that the brothers can trap Lucifer. So Sam, Dean Castile, Bobby and Crowley, who thankfully restores Bobby's legs all go after the rings, and after gaining them Sam willingly decides to let loose for I was gonna say perform. That's not right, possess him so he can take back control open the cage and fall in. And the season finale their plan falters and Lucifer fully possesses Sam while Michael meets him on the battlefield. As the brothers talk, Lucifer tries to convince Michael to have them both walk off the chessboard.

Berly:

Yeah. Yeah. Like then all of a sudden then he was like, listen, all fight. We don't want to hurt each other.

LA:

No, Mike won't listen, and decides to have an altercation with Lucifer.

Berly:

Dean should have been like, you killed our other brother.

LA:

Yeah, definitely.

Berly:

You deserve it.

LA:

threw you off. Now I just lost where I am.

Berly:

You're at my house.

LA:

Vacation with Lucifer

Berly:

last you said that Lucifer was a total Jackass because he had no problem killing one brother but then didn't want to tell the other brother but

LA:

So Dean after finding the battlefield with the help from Chuck the Prophet battlefield writes onto the field with the Impala in a desperate attempt to get through to Sam But Lucifer instead beats Dean to a pulp, and he explodes Castile and snaps Bobby's neck. But in the end, the Winchesters love proves more powerful than Lucifers rage. And Sam retakes control opens the cage door and falls in and bringing Lucifer Michael and Adam, all with him.

Berly:

Didn't Dean say at some point in the show? Like what do you want me to try and defeat them with the power of love? Daddy? I think he did. Oh, and he actually that's what actually ended up happening.

LA:

I don't remember that.

Berly:

I could be making it up. No, I believe you. But I feel like that's something that was said.

LA:

Hmm, interesting. A resurrected Castile who is now more powerful than before. Then heels Dean brings back Bobby and the trio part their separate ways. Castiel returns to heaven to possibly try and rule it. And Bobby resumes hunting Dean on Sam's insistence, goes to Lisa and retires from killing monsters and begins a new normal life away from hunting in the suburbs. But that same night that he goes to Lisa's, we see that there is a SAM standing outside of the house watching them. That's that.

Berly:

Well today's episode is called Exile on Main Street. It's the season premiere for season six, and originally aired on September 24 2010. The episode picks up one year after the events that LA just described. Apparently, whenever Dean showed up at least his door she was just like, oh my god, move in.

LA:

Get in here.

Berly:

Just get get right in here. No questions that he was drinking too much and having nightmares and screaming in his sleep. And Lisa was just like, what red flags?

LA:

Take them all.

Berly:

Here's you don't just get a drawer. You move into my house. You're gonna live here. Be my child's father figure.

LA:

No job. I will be contributing.

Berly:

Yeah, she was just like, Well, no, come on. You just ended the apocalypse that I have no proof of knowing ever actually happened. But you just saved the world. Get right in here. Yeah, come on.

LA:

Let's give safe and logical. Mm hmm. Totally.

Berly:

Right away. And we know this because again, it picks up one year after and then we find out like all these other people like oh, yeah, you're go you're go. You've been living with her for a year. You've been building this life for a year. We were like, Wait a minute. Like he literally okay. So she she was like, move right in?

LA:

Yeah, he's working in construction driving an old truck. Been a little step daddy. Scott,

Berly:

this nerdy friend named Sid. Yeah, on a Nirvana shirt. And Li said, I don't think Sid has ever listened to Nirvana. Never.

LA:

Not once.

Berly:

He moved right in and just went right into suburban life. And I feel like the house looked like it was a different house.

LA:

Again, I didn't pay it when he said that I didn't pay attention enough to like, notice if it was different.

Berly:

Like I'm trying to think of what the door looked like, whenever, at the end of season five, when Dean showed up at Lisa's doorstep originally to be like, hey, like I'm about to go do something I know. You haven't heard from me. I haven't called you. I haven't talked to you. But I knew where you move to you moved into this new house. I feel like that house was not this house. So I think they moved again. Oh, so maybe he showed up on our doorstep. And she was like, we're moving. Yeah, we gotta move somewhere else. We're

LA:

coming in. We need more room.

Berly:

We need Yeah, we need we need more lawn. We need more garage space. Come on, Ben. And Ben's like lost all that personality that he had bad season. I mean, I know I was complaining back in season three that I was like eight year olds don't act like that. But holy shit Diljit livable? I wouldn't have minded having the personality still. I mean, it was gone. Anyway, so yeah, typical suburban life,

LA:

but he still sleeps with a gun and holy water under his bed. Yes.

Berly:

And there was no dog Yes, not all gone, he still knows there's things out there. I wasn't too big of a fan of the Montage at the beginning. I appreciated that they did the different coloring so that we would know what was present and what was passed. Like they did pass. There's a montage of Dean living his suburban life, but cut in we would see things like, as a construction worker, he'd be using a table saw and it would cut to him using that table saw in I think it was Bloodlust when he chopped off that vampire said, so that would be black and white. Like the old stuff would be, it was just a little choppy for me. They they've done some beautiful montages and obvious episodes. Previously, this one was a little choppy.

LA:

It was but I kind of liked it that like these things that he's doing in this life now are still like probably in the back of his head while he's doing it. You know, like his old life. I kind of I mean, I liked what they were getting at, I guess.

Berly:

Yeah, I appreciated the story they were telling because I agree with you that the black and white was like memories that were maybe back of mine, you know, it just just, it was just a little choppy to me. Who am I seems like a steamed critic over here with my Tito's vodka. They caught us up very quickly. Yeah,

LA:

I mean, they did. I mean, yeah, I

Berly:

did like that. They caught us up very quickly on Dean, but I still did not get any. And this is this is something that I'm realizing I am like one of the only people who has this issue. I'm still getting absolutely no vibes as to what his relationship was with Lisa. Yeah, she's just kind of there truly is, you know, even that montage, she was hardly in it, even at this level.

LA:

So she's hardly at the end, even when she is it's not like there's much going on there.

Berly:

Yeah, she's just there. Yeah, so I'm a little disappointed in that. I was hoping that she was going to get developed a little further. At the moment, my hopes are kinda like dwindling. Listen, it's not about her. Trust me. Anywho. Enough of that.

LA:

Enough of suburbia.

Berly:

Well, no, not quite well, true. We're not quite done yet. For now, speaking of Dean's best friends sit. So they're out at a bar. And they're chit chatting. And Sid is trying to get Dean to be vulnerable and tell him more about his past. And Dean kind of does. He kind of speaks in code about how he lived on the road. And he worked with a partner. They did jobs that other people wouldn't do. He called it pest control. liked it. Clever. I thought it was very clever as well. Sid is trying to get him to divulge a little bit more and I'll be honest, I thought Sid was going to be the bad guy.

LA:

You did? Yeah.

Berly:

He kept trying to because he just kept trying to get Dean to talk more and just he just kind of kept popping up. Right You know,

LA:

I guess I'll where you're coming from with

Berly:

it. Right. I totally thought he was going to be the bad guy. But he's not he's just a douche back. Whenever they are closing out their tab after having this weird catch up session, where they're not really catching up about anything. One of the waitresses comes over and lays down the check. She's got a lot of tattoos on her arm. Yes. And she like those tattoos are important. The tattoos are on her arm. And she like rubs her hand up Dean's for arm. Yeah. Okay. Did you ever do that? Whenever you were sir.

LA:

I wish that there were some times I wish I had

Berly:

to be so bold. Yeah. Said makes the comment of I swear like you always get the girls. And Dean says I swear like once you're on available, please.

LA:

Oh my god.

Berly:

Come on. We saw the first five seasons. You had no problem. You weren't lacking

LA:

any. Yeah.

Berly:

And she's also written her name and phone number. All the chapters, of which dean then tears up. I was like, did he pay what happened? That's true. And they just cut to them leaving the restaurant after that, leaving the bar and pub. So Sid and Dean apparently worked together because they're both like See you tomorrow. Talk to you tomorrow by said goes his separate way. Dane goes to his new pickup truck. Not Impala, a pickup truck.

LA:

Or an old one. But older. Well, yeah,

Berly:

he was in pretty good shape.

LA:

Yeah. Oh, I like older trucks. Yeah, I

Berly:

don't know anything about trucks or cars. But I thought it was cute. had like, the big toolbox thing that some trucks have like right underneath the peekaboo window. You know what I mean? Is he's getting in his truck. We hear a scream in the distance. So Dan is like, oh shit, something's going down. And I think that maybe there was a moment of not my business. But nope, that wouldn't be your boy. Nope. So he gets his gun out and hides it in his corduroy collared camp. What is it not Canvas khaki? Yeah, jacket. Six it in that his hair. By the way. He's looking more like Dean Smith from it's a terrible life with the way he's stolen his hair. In this episode. It

LA:

just looks like a dad, you know, shirt buttoned up shirt tucked in with a belt. Yeah, I

Berly:

liked that, though. You did. Yeah. gave us some views, some things that are normally hidden by an untucked shirt. It's true. I know it. So he gets his flashlight. And he goes across the street to what we find out is a hotel renovation site. So he's walking around in there, and there's some like Wolverine claw marks, and he's hearing footsteps. And then there's a big bloody smeared handprint on the wall. And he's just like, oh, fuck, there's a pigeon in here. Know exactly what this is. Something's going down. So he goes back to his house, and he's googling away. And then he calls the cops and he's like, is there a missing person? Hotel renovation? I have a hunch. I used to be a cop. And Lisa comes in and he's just like, Yeah, okay. I'll talk to you later. Talk to you tomorrow. Bye. He hangs up and immediately lies to her. He was on the phone was said they were setting up a poker game for next weekend. I feel like she knew he was lying to her. Oh, yeah. You know, just the way she was making a face. She's like, it's 1130 at night. And he's like, Oh, that's probably while he was asleep. When I called the Silly me. I'm kind of mad at her for not calling him on it. Right.

LA:

She's just like, Okay, let's go to bed. You

Berly:

loved her pajamas. No, I did. I said, is that what you're supposed to wear after you get married? And then I said, Well, they did move in together right away. They must be on like the speedy timeline. So they're already out of the honeymoon phase.

LA:

She's not even trying. Like Comfort is key. And it's like an old lady night gown time.

Berly:

Hey, she is gorgeous. She is gorgeous. I will give her yes. But yeah, I'm mad at her still. Like, I totally feel like she knew he was lying to her. And she didn't call him Oddish. Like, come on. It's been a year and you're still walking on eggshells around him. And then later on in the episode, because it was the happiest year of my life. And I'm just like, Lisa. No, she's been lonely, right? Oh, man. I feel real bad for Lisa. From what little we saw this episode. I feel real bad for Lisa. So anyways, Dean's thinking something shady is going on. But you know, he closed his laptop. Whoever that cop was that he was talking to on the other line, just as must have been like, Okay, that was weird. And just like call that a day. But he was suddenly like, Yeah, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye. Thanks up, goes to bed. The next day, he's going into work. And he started seeing like the same Wolverine claw marks, like on a it was on a pole and they saw it on a house. They walked through, he jumps out and he goes to investigate and he sees it like on a sheet that's hanging out to dry. You just like what the fuck? And then he follows it over to a shed where there's marks on there. And he gets his gun out because he's carrying that on him now. And he's just like, oh, yeah, okay. And he kicks open the door. And there's a Yorkie just sitting in there. And the Yorkie runs out and I immediately looked at LA and went who locked that your key in there? Yeah, that's the real problem. It's never addressed. We never get an explanation as to who felt the need to lock a Yorkie in a shed. Not cool. Not cool. Well, after the Yorkie runs out, Sid just happens to be right there.

LA:

That's when you were like, oh, that's

Berly:

him. Yeah, that's what I was like, He's the monster. He's doing

LA:

it which as soon as he said it, I was like, oh, shoot, she might be.

Berly:

I totally was like he said, he's a monster. He's doing it. He knows that Dean is a hunter something he's trying it like there's too much weird stuff going on around this sick guy. It's him. It was not said

LA:

to me like Do you have a gun? Yeah.

Berly:

Dean said I thought that Yorkie was a possum.

LA:

Naturally, that's how you take out a possible, right.

Berly:

Well, Sid is just like, okay, weirdo and jogs off. And we find out later Sid immediately goes and tells everyone

LA:

like hey guys, town gossip, or the the neighborhood. Neighbor

Berly:

gossip. He immediately was just like, Hey, Lisa, your hubby just chased a Yorkie into his shed, which he didn't do and then tried to shoot the dorky with a gun he like things are weird things are going on. What

LA:

are you gonna do about this weirdo? It's

Berly:

freaking crazy. And Lisa was like, I'm gonna go to a movie in the Cheesecake Factory but we'll get to there we're not there yet. Dana is still at the shed. That's where we are. A little bit yeah, so Yorkies right away SIDS run off to go tell everyone about the Yorkie incident and Dean looks down and it's like oh, fuck, sulfur. Hmm. I already is I'm kind of going okay, so there's claw marks. It's a demon doing it like what? Okay, this is weird because we know sulfur is demon. Right? Right, right. So dangerously. Oh shit. I gotta get to baby. So he runs home.

LA:

I got a job to do.

Berly:

Hmm. Something needs huntin. And he's gone into this garage where baby is tarped which already I was like, Oh, poor. Oh, like it being neglected. So it pulls back the tart throws up in the trunk starts throwing things into a bag. And he's just throwing all kinds of things. Because again, claw marks Salford who knows who knows what's happening? That's when Lisa pops up in the door. It's just like, huh, hey, so everyone in the neighborhood is talking about you chasing a Yorkie with a gun. What is going on? And do you just like, oh, first hang on first when she pops in is like, hey, he immediately like stopped in the trunk and what and was like, Oh, I remember, this is what I was looking for. Like real nonchalant, right? Not at all shady. And even now she still doesn't call him out on it. Like she kind of does she kind of like, hey, sure. Are you sure something else that's going on? And he kind of lets her know, okay, I'm feeling a little paranoid. I think something's going on. And she's like, Are you hunting something? And he says, no, no, I'm not. I'm not I was just overreacting.

LA:

Which if this is like one of the only women he's actually like been honest with about what he did. You would think he would be fine. divulging this stuff to her.

Berly:

I get it to an extent that he doesn't want to freak her out. Yeah, you know, she doesn't want her to be scared and things like zero trust here. But it just it just is very shallow. The relationship seems shallow. Yeah. And I feel like I'm supposed to care about them. But I just don't

LA:

know. I'm like, not upset. Yeah, it's not gonna happen for them. So

Berly:

he's healthy. So you know what? Why don't you take Ben go to a movie, go kill some time at the Cheesecake Factory. Let me do a full sweep of the house. Just make sure that there's nothing here and I'll feel better about it. I'll have some peace of mind. At least to discuss okay. And leaves. Well, no wonder he liked her so much. She just did whatever he told her to do. Asks no questions, even whenever it's clear that he's fucking lying doesn't even call him on it, Bill. So he's doing this, packing up the back again, figuring out what he's going to do to sweep the house sweep the whole fucking neighborhood because we know that's what Dean's gonna do. And then the light starts flickering. And that's when I look to LA and I'm like, What the fuck? Okay, so we've got the light flickering. We've got the sulfur. We've got the claws. We've got the bloody handprint. We've got the pigeon. What is it? Which

LA:

by the way, what

Berly:

are we hunting here?

LA:

By the way? I don't even think he like clearly we know he lied to her. But it's like he wouldn't not trunk and got out his old jacket and daddy's journal. Like was he just going to take off and just like be like, Okay, go have fun at Cheesecake Factory. I'm taken off hunting.

Berly:

I don't know if he was gonna tell her nothing. Because she had to come see come out. And the only reason she knew anything was up is because it said in his big mouth.

LA:

I know what I'm saying. Like after she left is when he went and got the trunk. Oh, okay. So I'm like, so he was just like, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Berly:

I don't know. Maybe.

LA:

Anyway, light flickers, light

Berly:

flickers, we're going What the fuck is he hunting? And then he turns around and fucking Azazel is there and we were just like, Oh, my God was yellow eyes do it. Yeah. And yellow eyes. It's just like, oh, so God, you know, Chuck brought back CAS new and improved. Why wouldn't he bring me back to and I was like, that doesn't track not really what is happening. And Azazel is just taunting him and getting all up in his face. And we are just freaking out. And then all of a sudden Sam shows up out of nowhere with a giant syringe full of what looks like milk of magnesia swipes through Azazel like Azazel disappears as Sam's hand comes down and he like Pulp Fiction, Pierce's Dean right in the chest with the milk of magnesia. And then it cuts to black. Yep. We were both like what? Just

LA:

so confused.

Berly:

But Dean key was fucked up. And we find out that he had been touched by a gin and was essentially in the midst of overdosing and dying. That's why he was like choking and like oh, it's not because Azazel was actually choking him. He had been hallucinating all of this stuff the whole time. Except for the Yorkie. No, yeah, because Sid also saw the Yorkie so the Yorkie was real, which means someone still stuck that Yorkie in that shot. Yeah, that's the problem that mystery. Dean wakes up and he's in this abandoned house somewhere. And Sam is just sitting there staring at him. And it is a weird fucking reunion.

LA:

Yes, Sam is just like cool, calm, collected. No big deal. The

Berly:

thing, even whenever Dean came over and hugged him, it was like Sam was like, okay, yeah, the facial expression he made la yet again. It was like not my Sammy. No, I didn't like it. So Sam tells Dean that literally he was in the cage for maybe a day and then he woke up sweaty and wet in the cemetery and soul cemetery, and he has no idea how he got out. That's a mystery. And then he said, I've been looking trust me. I've been looking, I searched for weeks. And Dana's like, Wait a minute. What did you just say to me? Sam says, yeah, like, I've been back for roughly a year. Dean does not happy. Pissed wouldn't be,

LA:

I wouldn't be happy either.

Berly:

And say, I'm trying to tell him, you know, you had this great life, and I didn't want to come and ruin it. And Diems like, I wanted my fucking brother. Alive. Alive. Yeah. And that's whenever I kind of also was like, damn, like, really bad for Lisa right now. Like, don't wonder it seems so shallow. You're both just going through the motions. You're both stellar. You got playing house, you know, just playing house together. That's so sad, wasting each other's time. Sam goes on to explain to Dean that it was the jinn and the poisoning and all that other kind of stuff that I already touched on. And he says that they had actually come for him. I think he said the week before or a couple of weeks before. So that's how they knew that they were probably going to be coming for Dean and so he'd been keeping an eye on him. Dean asked Sam, you know, what have you been doing? And Sam's like? Well, I've been huntin. If Dean's like alone. He's like, No, like I have some people I've been hunting with. Dean says you with strangers in St. Louis. Well, they're more like family. So he walks them out and introduces them to three cousins. They're all Campbell's. When Christian and mark, and immediately we had flags going up like wait a minute, like Ruby told us a long time ago, like all the candles are dead. So who the fuck are these three people? And luckily, we weren't the only ones who thought that Dean was also very much like, Wait a minute. I thought they were all gone. Yeah, it's not answered. DSD. It's ignored. It's not addressed. No, no acknowledgement of that whatsoever. They're just like, no, like, these are your cousins. That's mark. He's such and such something removed like family reunion. No. Apparently not. Apparently, not. Everybody's gone. And I was just like a shady. And just when I thought it couldn't get shade here. All of a sudden, Samuel Campbell, Grandpa Campbell comes walking out is like, hey, Sam's not the only one who got resurrected. So weird. It was so weird. And they're just like, we just figure whatever pulled Sam up also pulled me down. So I guess Samuel Campbell was in heaven. And they just happen to find each other, just bumped into each other at the coffee shop the next morning, like, Oh, my God, you got resurrected, too. That's crazy. And I was trying to think I was like, Sam never even met Samuel Campbell. So how did they even know who each other was? Right?

LA:

And then again, who are these cousins?

Berly:

Who are these cousins? Yeah, that are suddenly just super high. None of its right. None of its right. It's all very shady. And I love that you and I were both like no, something's wrong. Something's wrong. A Dean was like, something's wrong here. I don't remember exactly what he said. Oh, am I the only one who feels like something's not adding up here. And you and I are both screaming, baby now. We agree with you. D this is all shady as hell yeah. But they just everybody just goes with it. We're just gonna move past it. Because we gotta go get these Gen these Gen be acting up. DNS like what did you inject me with and will Samuel has a cure? Can be new grandpa Samuel has a cure. And Samuel was like Ibtihaj got tricks I be showing you things your daddy never knew. He said something sassy. So I was just like, okay, okay, so we don't get you took all my fucking angels away. You should had writer's I'm sorry. But no, I'm not at the same time you took my angels away. You took my Urial you took my Zacharia you took my Anna just cast wasn't in this episode. Yeah, I'm cast and Crowley can only dish so much sass. Where else am I gonna get my Sass from and I'm like, I guess it's gonna be grandpa Campbell. He's gonna become be Mr. Sass. Yeah. So they're just like, Alright, we gotta get these Jen. And Dan says, well, what's the plan? And they're like, we're trying to get shit together. And he's like, okay, so there is no plan. Oh, no, I'm jumping. I'm jumping ahead.

LA:

I'm gonna say do you want to touch on how they said that? Like he's either poisoned by touch.

Berly:

Oh, well, we I thought we touched on that already. Go ahead.

LA:

Oh, I don't know. No, I didn't. I did we we might have you do it. Okay, so I can get a drink. I was just gonna say also, they also explained that because I think Dean asked how he would have been poisoned. And they said it's through touch. Because I was totally thinking it was like a drink or something. Somebody like refeed him. But ya know, they said it was such

Berly:

were you thinking it was said that repeated.

LA:

Especially after you said he just seemed

Berly:

like the bad guy.

LA:

Hang on. Let me get another

Berly:

drink. All right. I was also getting ahead of myself. So as it's explained to Dean the touch thing, they also say we think these Gen are trying to get revenge. Because we ganked a Gen a while back it was all the way back in season two, we came to Gen. And Dean immediately was like, so they know where I live. Like, there's a chance I know where I live like, we need to get home. We need to get home right now. So he's freaking out. They need to go check on Lisa and Ben. And Samuel just says, Don't worry about it. I've got a guy watching the house and Dan is just like, No fuck you get me home right now. So Sam throws Dean and his fancy new car, and they race straight to the house. The guy out that was watching the house. It shows him in the car. His eyes are white, and he's just like, he's gone. And the front door is wide open. And everything's dark, like not even a porch light is on. So they're running in there. Dean is freaking out yelling for Lisa and Ben. No answer. And Sam is just like, oh, sorry, bro. Oh, no, tell you Oopsie. And then thankfully, Lisa and Ben come in the back. They had gone to the movie and to kill some time at the Cheesecake Factory like he told them to

LA:

do to flee. So right they did their duty.

Berly:

So Dean is hugging them and just like, Oh my God, thank you. Thank you so much. And then he's like, Go pack a bag. You can't stay here, go pack a bag. At least it's just like, what's going on? He's like, none of your business. Go pack a bag. So she tells Ben Okay, honey, like yeah, you go upstairs and go pack a bag. I'll be up there in a second. Ben turns around to go upstairs. And then you see Sam and it's just like there's an extremely tall and sexy man in the kitchen. I don't know what to do.

LA:

And I wouldn't either leave socks.

Berly:

I would know what No, I'm just kidding. I would know what to do. Totally. Lisa turns and looks over and she's like, Oh, sale. Oh my goodness. Sam was just like, hey, guys. Hey, Lisa. Um, I know what Dean said that I'm in a cage in hell, but I'm not. I'm here. Good to see you.

LA:

Man. If I was least that I would have been like, how many kids? Tell me your brother's alive? No.

Berly:

I totally expected Well, it's Lisa. So of course she's gonna go. Do you need to move in? Yeah, Sam. Are we are we moving? We need to go get another house with another room. Sam, you're moving in. Right? Clearly. Got to collect these Winchester. Oh. All right. So we get Lisa and Ben packed up Dean's like, I'm going to take you somewhere safe. I'm going to take you to a friend's house and he takes them to Bobby's. When Bobby answers the door. Dean introduces them. And Bobby says, Well, it's nice to finally meet you too. And LA and I immediately were like,

LA:

What the fuck drill? Nice, Dean.

Berly:

It's been a year. Yeah. And you didn't introduce your quasi wife and child to your quasi father. kind of fucked up. It'd be like, Oh, you only come around when you need something. Need help with something? Right? Like I understand that you're leaving the hunting life behind somebody who practically helped raise you you're gonna you're in a ditch them to the particularly family. Rude. Yeah, Bobby Singer once said family don't end in blood. Didn't like that. Didn't like that. Bobby welcomed them into his home. He tells them Don't fucking touch anything. Okay, assume everything is loaded. I don't have a TV for you. But there's Reader's Digest and get upstairs. Get every

LA:

kid's dream. No TV and a Reader's Digest. Can't

Berly:

Touch shit. But get get out of here. So Lisa and Ben go upstairs disappear from the story yet again. We know they're there. But that's it. Sam shows up in the doorway. And LA was like, oh shit, because we're thinking like, there's gonna be like a huge reunion thing. Like we're gonna get the moment now. Still no moment. Bobby's just like, hey, turns out Bobby's known for a year, as well. So we have the big dramatic fight scene or we had the dramatic scene with Dean and Sam. Right? Like it was very soap opera dramatic with the pacing and the dramatic turning around and like, hand on hand on hair. inner turmoil. I'm I'm upset. Fight. And then this was more like, Ah, I'm frustrated. I'm angry kind of fight. Right, like a lot of yelling. But the whole thing is that like you got out Diem. Right? You were living a suburban life. You were just going through the motions and like, we don't know if you were actually happy or not, but you got out and you weren't being attacked by monsters every week. So we wanted to just leave you to that. Sorry, but not sorry. I think Bobby even said I do it again. Right. You know,

LA:

Dean's like nah, nah, bros Dean's not happy. Hey, what did I was like I i would have been like the FOMO right now. Real, how dare you leave me out of everything?

Berly:

Well, not just leaving him out but making that decision for him. Right? Exactly. You know, like they withheld information. And, like, give him the opportunity to make that decision for himself. You know? It's kind of messed up well, but

LA:

then Sam's like, I, you promised you'd leave it alone, dude. Like, of course, I didn't leave, right.

Berly:

I'm sorry. Excuse me. I didn't hold up my end of the bargain to just leave you rotting in hell, right? Excuse me, bro. Extend you didn't come and let me know Hey, by the way, I'm gonna leave you're not coming back. Like, I'm gonna have my own life and you're gonna have your own life because we've done this before. Like, that's gonna happen. But just so you know, I'm not rotting away in hell. Like, I would be livid just like Dina's. Right? Well, like

LA:

you said, I wanted my brother a lie, right? Like he didn't even say like I needed you with me. I just want to know you were alive. So for a whole year, sitting there thinking his brother's dead, but he was really alive. And

Berly:

we haven't seen a single puppy i from Sam. There's not one auto one. Nothing could not get no remorse

LA:

for like, it doesn't feel bad for line. Nothing to do nothing.

Berly:

Not a thing. Yeah. What is happening? It's just very weird. It's very weird. Sam

LA:

was just like, very stoic. I feel like yeah, this whole episode about everything every single blase like,

Berly:

yeah, Sam is very much what I imagined Dean has been for the past year.

LA:

Mm hmm. was Lisa.

Berly:

And his best friend said, just just kind of there. Oh, so we have this family, family meeting fight. And then Lisa comes downstairs and it's like, Hey, how's it going? And Dean's like, We're breaking up. And Lisa's like, that sucks. Because this playing house thing has been the best year of my life. I thought you were going to be like a dad to my child. I am not happy right now and being just like, well, I don't know what to tell you. monsters. Monsters be monsters go benefit life. They're coming. I don't want to put you guys in danger. And that's it. Like, again. I feel like I was supposed to feel something during this conversation. And I just did not at all. Now we have Sam, Dean, grandpa, and the cousins talking about okay, what are we going to do with these, Jen? And that's when Dane tosses out? Hey, why don't we use me as bait? We know they're watching the house. We know that they want to come and get me they want to come and get sound like why don't we use this as bait? And I love the whole way that he did it because one of the cousins tried to be all like, We're professionals. Like, let us handle it. We got it rude. And the Dean came up with the plan. And just like it's almost like I'm a professional. Like SAS loves getting some sass from the hunters this season. That's fun. So they decided to move forward with the plan. They're like, okay, so Lisa and Ben are at Bobby's house. So we'll take we'll go to Lisa and Ben's house. I'm sorry, Dean, Lisa and Ben's house and use Dana Sam as bait. So they're all hanging out, getting their bags, their duffel bags in order that all have the antidote. in them. There's several syringes just all over the place. And as they're going through the house, they're like making fun of Dean, essentially making fun of him for having a magazine and a picture of his family. And then he has golf clubs. I mean, it turns out Dean just really embraced that suburban dad lifestyle. He was trying, he was trying real hard. And Dane is kind of getting his feelings hurt a little bit. He's getting made fun of so he goes to the kitchen by himself. And Samuel comes in and they're just like, hey, suck. Hey, like I get it. You remind me of your mom. She wanted a normal life too. It's cool. I understand. But I really think that you should say fuck that life and come hunt with us and stuff. It's in your blood. And this is what you should be doing. Dana is just like, okay, maybe I don't know. I'm gonna go outside and talk to that guy in the van. So he goes outside and there's a cousin in the van. Being very nonchalant, just sitting in the van staring straight ahead. So Dean is like I too will be nonchalant and grabs a giant monocle does not what they're called once the one I think so. Giant monocle to look ahead and the cousin is like yeah, there's three gin hanging out in a tree. It's never explained.

LA:

So like these adult looking people are just hanging out and hanging out in a tree.

Berly:

These normally cave dwelling hiding people like we already know that these are unique Jen because they can blend in with people. They control whether or not they have tattoos, right like the tattoos appear or disappear at will. Which already I was like what? Okay, like kind of art it looks like people before but Okay, so these are Magic Jen. They can hide their tattoos and they hide in trees. And the hunter can see them. So the assumed the assumption is that anybody can see them. Just hanging it out. And Dean's like looking through the monocle. And it's like, gosh, they're just sitting there watching us from their tree.

LA:

Very odd choice. It

Berly:

was an odd choice. It was. Dean goes inside and says, Okay, you'll have to leave, because this isn't going to work. They're watching us, there's three of them. They're not going to come here and try to do anything. As long as they know they're outnumbered. So get out of here. Leave me and Sam to do what me and Sam do. Samuel says, I don't like it. But you're right. So we're gonna go and you call the second that those Jen make an appearance and they're just like, okay, but they don't do that. Sam and Dean are in the house or by themselves. The Campbell cousins and grandpa have left they've packed up the van and drove drove off. And as they're having like, kind of a conversation, I guess. Dan looks over and sees the gin are in his neighbor's house. Because he can see directly into their house. We've seen him be able to look directly into their house a couple of times throughout the episode. And it said, and his wife and they are getting fucked up by a couple of Jen. Dean immediately grabs a couple of syringes and just takes off over to the house and Sam tries to stop them. Sam says like they're already dead. Just let it go. You can't help them. Dean says no. fucky when he runs over there, he does not get there in time. Sid and his wife are both dead. And then all of a sudden the to Jen or not to I guess one of them. Oh, yeah. No, the two Jen that are in the house. They grabbed dean. And it turns out it's Bridget the waitress up from the bar. She wasn't flirting with him. She was poisoning him which and then rubbing that arm. And she did have tattoos on her arm. So that let us know. And we're seeing now that the Djinn are like controlling whether or not they have tattoos.

LA:

Like it grows down the arm. Yeah.

Berly:

I didn't like that. They didn't go up onto their face. I agree as the first gen had them all over. And these was just their arms. Maybe their babies. Yeah, maybe they're babies. Or maybe they're just vain and they don't want tattoos on their face. Who knows? But Bridgette is just like, Oh, so you survived my poisoning. What about a double dose and so she grabs his face and her tattoos are growing. And then the guy that was holding Dean back also takes one of his hands and puts it on Dean's face. And his tattoos are growing. And we see like Dean's veins are like turning green and his eyes go white. So Dan's in trouble. And then the third gen. Who also decided to abandon their post in the tree is back at Dean Lisa and Ben's house fighting Sam. And Sam is using golf clubs. Because that's what's handy there.

LA:

I mean, he does beat the hell out of the guy.

Berly:

He does. And he like I like how he just keeps checking the tattoos on the arm to like wait for the tattoos to stop meeting or not meeting moving. And then he's like, Okay, we're good. They aren't moving anymore. But Dean is Fox. You know, he is hallucinating. He's seeing Azazel he's seeing Lisa and Ben running around in the backyard talking shit about like, we're not sure about him talking shit about Bobby's house. Yeah. I don't remember how to hang on.

LA:

Then he says like Azazel and it's like she's up on the wall. The ceiling.

Berly:

Oh, yeah. Like his his hallucinations get real bad. He's he's been and Azazel and Azazel is feeding Ben demon blood. And Lisa is on the ceiling just like Mary just like Jess. All kinds of crazy hallucinations going on with hoarding.

LA:

Isn't she saying it's all your fault? Yeah.

Berly:

I don't remember how Dean got saved. But while while Dean is hallucinating is like just completely incapacitated on the floor and SIDS house. The Two Gen go over and are attacking Sam and Samuel and the cousins grandpa and the cousins show up. They kill the dude Jen. And then Sam. That's what it was. Sam runs over to go save dean. And as soon as Sam has gone grandpa and the cousins are like don't kill her. Like we're not going to kill you and they like put a bag over the girl Jen over Bridget over her head. And like take her and grandpa's like Hurry up get her in the van before they come back. So Sam doesn't know what's going on here and I was just like, are they trafficking monsters? What is happening here was just weird. Out of the three gen two got killed, but one they kidnapped. Yeah. And Sam is who goes and save Steen. Correct The next day Dean is now changing his tune. He's like, okay, so I'm not going to break up with Lisa. I'm actually going to go back to Lisa and Ben, because they're in danger. Now I have to be worried that other monsters are going to come that I put them in danger by showing up on the doorstep. So now I just this is gonna be my obligation. Now I'm obligated to stay with them. Because,

LA:

right, whatever girl wants to hear.

Berly:

I was like, fuck, man, poor Lisa. And Sam is just like, you know, I know what I was saying before. But now I really think you can't have a normal life. Sorry. I was wrong. You can't have this because you are going to keep putting them in danger. If you're here. I think you should come back to hunting and dangerous like, why would you even want me? I'm Rusty. I put us in danger yesterday because I just jumped into action. It seems like that's exactly what I want you. You didn't even think about it. You don't hesitate. You didn't hesitate. You just went because you have feelings. And I don't right now, for some reason. Pretty much. But Dean sticks to his guns. He's like, No, I put them in danger. And the best option for me right now is to stay here so I can protect them. I don't want to be here. But I have to be because I have to keep them safe. That sounds like all right. I guess so. And then dean tries to do this big dramatic gesture of giving Sam the keys to baby and Sam's just like no thanks. Okay,

LA:

got my car the way I like it. Yeah, but she does have a nice Mustang. Black Mustang,

Berly:

but it was about the gesture. Oh, no, no, no, I

LA:

know. I'm just saying.

Berly:

Dean. You could tell like he broke Dean's heart. Yeah, I feel so bad for Dean. And then Sam's just like alright, bye. I'm gonna take off and Dean just kind of was like waving

LA:

in his driveway. That was that. That is the episode.

Berly:

That is the episode. I don't know how I feel about it. We'll just have to keep trucking along and see what happens. It was written by Sarah gamble. and directed by kitchen meet cute. Phil sick Grecia Gore, there wasn't any gore. I would say the only Gore happened in book choppy montage at the beginning. Yeah. Yeah. Phil. He's an editor. So I'm surprised that wasn't a little bit more seamless. Jimmy did that on purpose. Maybe Maybe we were supposed to feel a little disoriented and a little choppy. You're right. I bet you I bet you we were so yeah, no, Gore. I can't think of any more. I can't either. Was there anything you adored about this episode? Me too. It wasn't it wasn't a bad episode. But I'm just feeling confused right now. I have no idea what we're going into this season. Yeah. Like

LA:

nobody stood out. There was nothing like special or cute.

Berly:

But it wasn't a bad episode.

LA:

No, no, no, no. Especially like coming off of the last season. We just did two. Yeah. And this one's just very different. Like

Berly:

I won't remember this episode at all in like two or three weeks. Right? And like, I'm just confused. We're back to we're back to like season four, where like the brothers are not on the same page. And something's up with Sam. Yeah,

LA:

that's I'm seeing let's see how it goes. Just not the best opener I guess. I'm not

Berly:

excited. Yeah, I'm confused. And I'm kind of like, okay, what the heck's going on? But I'm not I'm not excited for this season. And a lot of the premiere episodes have left us feeling more excited about what's to come. Yeah, I agree. Let's just move on from this train wreck

LA:

into law. All right, Laura, we're going to talk about gin. I cut out a bunch of stuff. Hopefully,

Berly:

as you should have. It was a lot. Well,

LA:

a gin. Often I'll gin or gin are shapeshifting spirits made of fire and air with origins in pre Islamic Arabia. They are an inspiration have held space in Arab culture for almost as long as Arab culture itself. And yet having transcended both religion and the physical world. So little isn't under oh my god, I can't. So little is understood about the spirits. The West assume the jinn as a topic better left to Disney and popular culture, or at best to anthropologists, but Jinn who are a part of Islam, but not worshipped in it, with their free will and obscurity have too much to teach us about a culture of people and their multiple religions to be forgotten. Okay, so what kind of beings are jinn? They're not inherently good or bad. They are amorphous entities able to take the shape of humans and animals have like, their role in society to has been malleable. That's how you say that right? Yeah. Jinn have served as a source of inspiration for both the most esteemed classical Arab poets in the first millennium, and as the genie in the Disney 1992 movie, both before and after Islamic introduction, which included mentions of gin in the Koran, gin have remained an explicable entity.

Berly:

You remember that picture I sent to you recently? What have I dropped? Just tell that video? That character is a Gen? I don't remember from the American it sounds like I should. I sent it in Snapchat. Oh, come on the Snapchat video.

LA:

That's why I don't remember. It's so short lived. I want to see it now. Australia, Pagan Arabs big believers in the cult worship Jen long before Islam with Islam or Islam. I've heard about you're asking the wrong person. Before Islam was introduced in the seventh century believing that the spirits were masters of certain crafts and elements of nature, who had the power to turn plots of land fertile. The Jinn were believed to both interact with humans in our reality and lead their own lives in a separate realm. As spiritual entities the jinn are considered dual dimensional with the ability to live and operate in both manifest and invisible domains. Alright, and then it says Kenji can communicate with humans. They sure did. And Disney's movie Aladdin Well, Jen influence has been widespread both religiously and culturally in pre and post Islamic Arabia. They can talk or otherwise communicate with people though some like poets are more likely than others to be hit by the jinn. In the early seventh century when the Islamic Prophet Mohammed began spreading the word of the Quran he shared multiple Surahs or verses that mentioned the jinn, including one named entirely after the spirits belief and Jin has been a part of the world's second largest religion ever since. One can't be Muslim. This one writer l zine argues that one can't be Muslim if he slash she slash day doesn't have faith in Jin's existence, because they are mentioned in the Quran and the prophetic tradition. And while of course, not all who identify as Muslim subscribe to every word of the Quran, literally, if zine is right it means that around 1.6 billion people in the world believe engine. That's a lot. Yeah,

Berly:

well, whenever you said second largest, I was like, people that's gonna be a lot of people.

LA:

Despite stories of possession. jinn are remarkable and their propensity toward neither good or evil. And Christianity, demons and evil spirits appears entities carrying out Satan's Maleficent wishes but neutral spirits like the jinn have no place. Else. Xen believes that Jinn have been robbed of the scholarly devotion they deserve, in part because they complicate the narrative of monotheism, what it means to believe in the existence of intelligent spiritual entities without necessarily demonizing them. Jinn different than both angels in the devil oscillate between good and evil making them the more relatable. Oh, I like this article. It says they can fuck up. They can be pious, they can help us or they can hurt us, as shown and folktales from 1001 Nights commonly known in English as Arabian Nights are way better

Berly:

than that beginning song and Aladdin. Oh, I

LA:

know. I love it.

Berly:

I don't know of a bird.

LA:

Speaking of Aladdin. It says in one of these tales, the fisherman and the genie. The inspiration for Disney's Aladdin. Fisherman pulls a bottle out of the sea when he opens it a genie Genie Genie appears angry to have been trapped in the bottle for centuries. The genie tells the fisherman their plan to kill him. But after the two exchange stories, the genie changes their mind. Instead bestowing the fisherman with a life of good fortune. Did

Berly:

you see that Tilda Swinton? Like I got it. I was like, if I bought a thing, and Aegis Elba popped out.

LA:

Forget about it. Like I'm good.

Berly:

Best thrifting ever.

LA:

You're sticking with me?

Berly:

Look close, close it out. It's from Lisa was shocking, right? Whenever Dana's tried to break up with her. She said, Yeah, well, the guy that basically just saved the world shows up at your doorstep. You expect him to have a couple of issues? Yeah, doesn't mean you're responsible for money. Thank you for listening to denim wrapped nightmares.
