A Little Slice of Kevin (8x7)

Berly and LA tackle Season 8's "A Little Slice of Kevin" with their usual mix of detailed analysis and chaotic commentary.

Crowley's collecting potential prophets while torturing sweet Alfie for intel, Kevin and badass mom Linda Tran are making demon bombs with Craigslist witch ingredients, and Dean keeps hallucinating Castiel everywhere. The big reveal: Cas is back from Purgatory but doesn't remember how he escaped.

Highlights include Linda Tran's warrior mom evolution, Crowley literally taking "a little slice of Kevin" (his finger), Purgatory flashbacks showing Cas stayed behind on purpose, and the introduction of mysterious angel Naomi. Plus, Berly's ongoing obsession with Dean's "awkward little step" into the portal and their traditional blood splooge count (we're at 63!).

Perfect blend of supernatural lore and the kind of unhinged commentary that makes you feel like you're watching with your funniest friends.

Welcome to Denim Wrapped Nightmares, Tipsy Exchange Podcast, where we explore the Supernatural series episode by episode. Over drinks, we'll discuss the lore, the gore, and what we adore about the Winchesters and their adventures. I'm Burleigh, and I'm a new fan of the series. I'm L.A., and I'm here along for the ride. Now let's get tipsy.

LA: 0:26

Hello, L.A. Hey, Burleigh. On the last episode, it was titled Southern Comfort. Sam and Dean investigate a murder and find Garth. We love Garth. Is already on the case. Dean is not happy to learn that Garth has assumed Bobby's duties, but Garth points out that both Sam and Dean have been missing for the last year and someone needed to do it. The guys discover an avenging ghost is responsible for the murders and they need to find the source for the killing to start again.

Berly: 0:55

So I guess Garth really is like the new Bobby because like at the end of this episode, they always sent people to Bobby to go stay at Bobby's house. And now they're sending them to Garth. I assume we're going to see him again in the near future. I hope so. Well, today's episode is titled A Little Slice of Kevin, which when I read the title, I was like, what the fuck? That's weird. But now that I've seen the episode, I'm like, he. Yeah. It's the seventh episode of season eight and originally aired on November 14th, 2012. We open up on a playground and Aaron, he is finger painting away and he's outside at a playground. So of course he's going to fucking town.

LA: 1:39

Yeah.

Berly: 1:40

The paint was like up to his elbows. I think he is just. All over that thing. This woman comes walking up and it's just like, um, Aaron, it's finger painting, not body painting. Dumbass. Let's go get you cleaned up. Turns out this is his mom. She was there to pick him up. Takes him to the little bathroom. But before she goes inside, she steps back and looks around the playground with black eyes. Bum, bum, bum. Shuts the door. And then it like lights around it. And I was trying to think what movie is that? Is that Poltergeist? Like what movie is it? I

LA: 2:12

mean, that's what came to mind. Yeah.

Berly: 2:14

Like, I feel like there's like a classic shot where the light is coming out around the doorway like that. And I could not think of the reference. i kept thinking poltergeist but for some reason i think that's not right i'm

LA: 2:24

sure i'm sure there's more than one out there but like as far as originally i could see poltergeist but i can't picture the exact scene

Berly: 2:32

yeah like you picture the door but you can't think yeah same same so fuck that all right well moving on well then uh the fucking little kids out on the playground are screaming and running because all of a sudden all these storm clouds come around and a little little twister a little twister pops up in the for 20 seconds but still

LA: 2:53

terrifying

Berly: 2:54

would have freaked me out yeah let me get supernatural

LA: 3:02

i liked the name of this it was randy raccoon preschool that they were

Berly: 3:07

at i did not catch that that's funny oh randy take all the kids down randy's Well, then we cut to Dean and he is driving down the highway. I thought the sign said Twin Peaks at first. And I was like, what? But that's not what it said. I don't remember what it said, but it was not Twin Peaks. So he's driving and he notices a dude walking on the side of the highway. And as he gets closer, it's Cass. So, of course, he slams on his brakes and it's just like, oh, my God, he still hasn't shaved. What the fuck? Jumps out of his car and he's nowhere to be found. It's just the giant bear holding the sign that does not say Twin Peaks.

LA: 3:47

That tripped me up for a minute. I was like, why did he turn into a bear? Then I quickly realized what happened.

Berly: 3:55

Well, Dean was very confused as well. He also did not know why Cass turned into a bear. So he goes back to the cabin. I assume this is still Rufus's cabin. It's not a motel because there are paintings of sigils all over the windows and all of that kind of stuff. Sam is on his lappy toppy doing some research and Dean comes in and Sam says, I'd say you look like you see a ghost, but that's wrong because you'd be psyched. Or he says something like that. Yeah. So Sam tells Dean about this kid disappearing and the tornado popping up and that there's actually quite a few people who've gone missing with weird natural disaster shit happening right afterwards. So they're like, okay, so it's demons. And Sam's really confused. He says there's nothing connecting these people. So what do the demons want? Dean's just like, I don't know. Demons gonna demon. Demons gonna evil. Climate change is real. I don't know what to tell you, Sam. Are we doing this or not? And Sam's like, yeah. We're doing it. Well, they were right that it's demons.

LA: 4:57

They were. A

Berly: 4:58

specific demon. Mr. Crowley. He's snatching up all these people because he's been torturing Simandriel, sweet little Alfie. Okay. Our sweet little hot dog boy. I instantly remembered him and recognized him, but I could not freaking remember his name. Simandriel. He's got that good semen, remember? Yeah.

LA: 5:19

Oh, I

Berly: 5:19

remember.

Unknown: 5:20

Yeah.

Berly: 5:22

Well, bless his heart. This seemed, oh, it was an uncomfortable torture scene to watch. Like, we didn't get to see a whole lot. Crowley had blood all over his apron that he was wearing to keep his black clothes clean. His white apron over his black outfit. And Simandriel's in, like, this chair? Was it an electric chair? What was it? Was there something on his head?

LA: 5:45

Torture chair, I

Berly: 5:46

guess. I don't know. He's in Crowley's torture throne. In the torture throne. And Crowley's gotten a hold of his angel blade. So he's just, like, poking him with it. And then there was one point where he was like, okay, on the count of three. One, two. And then stabbed him. And Samantha was like, what happened to three? And Crowley's like, I lied. I do that.

Unknown: 6:05

Ha ha ha ha!

Berly: 6:06

He has been torturing Simandriel to get the names of prophets. And Simandriel is basically telling him, dude, I've fucking told you everybody who is alive and on this planet right now. I've given you all their names. The next generation hasn't even been born yet. Leave me alone. And so Crowley's finally like, oh, okay, I will leave you alone. But they decide to keep him on ice, whatever that means. He is not in the torture chair later. Whenever Kevin was in there, I was like, where'd y'all put Simandriel?

LA: 6:32

Right?

Berly: 6:33

Where is he?

LA: 6:34

I thought it was real shitty too. I mean, Crowley's kind of shitty in general, but he's like, oh, okay. You know, I'm done with you, but let me just stab you one more time. You got one more, you know.

Berly: 6:44

Didn't he say like, it's hard to stop once you start. Psycho. That giant room they were in was really cool though. That dome at the top. Yeah. I was trying to figure out where they were, especially later on when the boys are coming in. I'm like, where, where are we? Where the fuck is this? And that crazy table that like lit up. Yeah. I'm like, no wonder all these profit potential profits thought they were on a spaceship. Like I would have jumped to the same conclusion, but it was cool. I was that giant dome in the torture room. I was like, what the fuck? Well, Where are they? Very cool, though. But yeah, all the prophets are just like, what the fuck is going on? And poor little Aaron, he's just sitting there scared as could be. Everyone else is bitching like they can't miss work or whatever. And yeah, it turns out Crowley, he's given up on finding Kevin. And so he's gone and collected all these other potential prophets, hoping that they're going to be able to do something with the tablet, even though Kevin is still technically the prophet. And Crowley is shit out of luck. These potential prophets don't see anything on this tablet. Meanwhile, speaking of Kevin, he and Linda are hiding out. They're like in a diner or a cafe or something. And Linda Tran has been putting in work. She was like, that demon bomb that you made? in the season premiere. It was really fucking cool. It blew up those demons where they just like their shadows of themselves were on the wall. I want to make some of those. So Og went on Craigslist and found me a witch. Oh no. Apparently, yeah, apparently you can do that. And the witch's name was really cool. Delta Mendota.

LA: 8:23

Oh, I know it was Delta. I didn't remember her last name.

Berly: 8:26

Well, even though whenever Delta shows up later and she's got the ingredients that Mrs. Tran needs to make these bombs, she straight up admits that she's been working with demons and she's tired of dealing with them. And so she was happy to help. I was like, this probably isn't the best person for you to be trusting. Kevin, like asking, like, why are you trusting her? And she was like, oh, no, she knows her shit. It's like, yeah, yeah. Linda says she can trust her because she's only given her the list of ingredients. She didn't give her the spell. So she doesn't know the proportions of the ingredients or how to mix it together or anything like that. So we can still trust her. Can you, Linda? I don't know about that. Well, Sam and Dean go and question Aaron's mom and she lets them know she don't remember shit. She was on her way to go pick him up and then she woke up like in a cornfield or something. 20 minutes later and her kid was gone she's like i don't remember a damn thing and i thought it was really funny whenever sam pretended to take a call and was like saying an exorcism oh my god i

LA: 9:23

thought that was so funny

Berly: 9:25

at first at first i didn't know what he was doing but then when i heard what he's saying he's just casually glancing back to see if it's working I loved it. It was so cute. I'm like, they're getting creative here. They're getting creative here, these boys. So they ask her a few questions, and then they finally ask her, did it smell like sulfur? Bells go off, and she's like, how the fuck would you know that? And they're just like, good day, ma'am, and turned around and walked away. So Sam and Dean are just like, okay, yeah, so it's demons. It's definitely demons, but we still don't understand why these people. What the fuck is going on? Well, then that night, Sam is sleeping. Dean is going through the missing persons reports, trying to find some sort of connection. And there's a storm going. And I thought Sam didn't have a shirt on at first, but he does.

LA: 10:07

Unfortunately, but I have to say he looks damn good. He's looking really good. I said,

Berly: 10:12

this is his best hair season. I'm like, it's finally happening. It's finally coming to fruition. Yeah. I said, Sam

LA: 10:20

looks real good in that v-neck.

Berly: 10:23

Those pajamas. Yeah. Like, I didn't want him in them, but they were working for him. The sleepy-headed look and everything. The stumbling to go take a piss after talking with Dean for five seconds. It was working for me. Yeah. It was good. Well, anyway, we're not there yet. Sam's sleeping. Dean's on the bed looking at his lappy-toppy. And then there's lightning, and Dean looks at the window because the lightning... And Cass is just standing outside the window like a creep. He just like had his arms hanging down. What a scare the shit out of me. It's scary. I did. Oh, wait, I did yell. Oh, my God. Jesus, Cass, like

LA: 11:00

knock on the door or something.

Berly: 11:02

Well, then the lightning. Once the lightning goes dark, he's not there anymore. So, of course, Dean jumps up and is like, what the fuck is happening? Sam wakes up and asks him, what's going on? And Dean finally opens up. I was just like, oh, he listened to Garth. Like, he's finally, they're moving past the bullshit thing. He's opening up to Sam. And so he tells Sam, I keep seeing cats and I feel like shit. And I know I did everything I could to get him out. Like, what the fuck, man? And Sam just kind of lets him know there's a thing called survivor's guilt. You know, you have to quit letting this eat you alive. You did everything you could. You got to let it go. You got to move past it. And then he goes to the bathroom.

LA: 11:42

He's like, I got to take a

Berly: 11:43

piss. He's like, I got to go drain the lizard. Noodle

LA: 11:45

that one. I got to go take a piss.

Berly: 11:49

I'm glad I could help. But I got to run. And Dean just kind of sits there and is noodling it over. And it turns out he did not share everything with Sam. The next day, Sam is telling Dean about another missing person, Luigi. Whenever all of a sudden Castiel's just like there, just pops in the room. And he is filthy. He even tells them like, I'm a dirty boy. He's sitting there talking and just like randomly. And he's like, oh, I'm dirty. I'm dirty. I'm filthy. I'm dirty. He was filthy. Dirty, dirty little man who was staring in your window last night. And he does not remember how he got out of purgatory. And this is raising some alarms for Dean. He's just like, um, it's not like you just wake up and decide, you know what? I don't want to be here anymore and take off. Like it was biting tooth and nail. It almost killed me. I saw the condition he was in whenever I got out of there. There's no way he just popped out like this. There's something fucking weird going on. And then when Cass went into the bathroom to take a shower, guys, because he was like, I'm dirty in case y'all missed it. He was dirty. He comes out and it's just like, I'm all clean. And I guess because it's Cass, he doesn't know to read the room and realize that they were just talking shit about him because both of them are just kind of like, oh, God.

Unknown: 13:05

He's back.

Berly: 13:07

So he kind of catches them off guard. But yeah, Dean is not digging this. He's like, something's fucking weird. Someone or something must have pulled him out. And I don't trust that. Well, back at the diner, whenever Delta showed up with all the ingredients and everything and told them about her hooker sister and that you get the money before you get the goods. So y'all better pay me up. I just brought a sample to show you that I could get the shit you need, but I'm not going to give you everything until you pay me. And she's like, I need to go to bathroom because y'all doused me with holy water whenever I came in she goes in the back and I guess she snuck into like their storage room where they had everything stored away and broke a salt line on one of the windows so that Crowley can get in there Crowley snaps Delta away it's like get out of here I'm done with you and tells Kevin I'm gonna kill your mom And you're going to come with me and you're going to come read the tablet. So he disappears. And the demon that's left behind, you can tell that he was kind of excited about getting to kill Mrs. Tran the way he was kind of because he could have just snapped her neck or something, you know, but he was like, like leering toward her. And that gave her enough time to grab a water gun. and go to town with the holy water. I would have liked to have seen how the rest of that went because it was that same demon in the trunk later. Right. In Mrs. Tran's trunk. So that means she fucked him up. Like have a little Miss Tran get him in that trunk.

Unknown: 14:29

Yeah.

Berly: 14:30

What else did she do? I mean, we know that Kevin learned all those defense against demons tricks and that he's been teaching them to his mom. And she, cause she really wanted to make that bomb. Right. But I'm like, what, what were the other tricks? I would have liked to have seen her do like some Kevin from home alone type booby traps around the diner or something to knock until the demon got knocked out. Just a little something more than a water gun, you know? Yeah.

LA: 14:55

Yeah. We just got little flashes of her in this hallway. episode and I would have liked to have had a little more time with her.

Berly: 15:00

An audience LA is still in Colorado so apologies if it's you can't control it. Don't make a face. Sorry. Back in the hotel Castiel is watching TV. He missed TV and whenever it shows a shot like from space of the satellite he just did that little smile. I was like aww. And can I say I love that him and Sam can just sit in silence in a motel room together because Sam is still researching. I don't know where Dean was, but Dean comes in, and he's asking, you know, what are the updates? What's the news? Give me some information. And Sam says that there's seven people total, hasn't been any more disappearances, and he starts listing them off, and then Castiel finishes the list. And they're like, what the fuck? Well, it turns out Because we know from Chuck's episode a long time ago, these are all prophets. So Castiel has their names memorized. But we got some more information. There's only one active prophet at a time. And so they assume Chuck is dead. And they don't mourn him at all. They're just like, oh, well. At some point, I can't remember when it was, but I'm going to go ahead and talk about it. There's a flashback to Purgatory where we see them doing everything that they need to do. And, you know, Cass is... Honestly, he was leaving hints the whole time. Dean just wasn't picking up what he was throwing down where he's like talking like it's just a human portal. You know, we don't even know if I can get through. And he's leaving these little hints that he doesn't really want to go.

LA: 16:25

Yeah.

Berly: 16:26

And it turns out we find out later that he felt like he had he had to stay in purgatory to kind of do penance for all the terrible things he had done on Earth in season six and seven. So they are going through trying to find it. I love that whenever they said, are you sure we're getting close to this portal and Benny goes they said it would be here and Dean goes oh they good good good to know we never find out who it was that Benny's talking about I didn't catch that it's just this mysterious they oh that's funny well it turns out they're right they finally turn a corner and they see the portal and so Dean looks at Benny and it's like just like we talked about okay so this is a flashback we have not seen And Dean cuts his flesh, and then he cuts Benny's ghost arm that bleeds. Who knew? And they, like, grab each other's arms, and Dean says a few words in a language that I don't know, but I'm assuming that what the words roughly translated to was, I want you to come inside me.

LA: 17:28

Okay.

Berly: 17:32

I mean, yeah? And so Benny dies, and that's exactly how it happened. It was a cool little effect, seeing Benny come inside Dean. I liked watching Benny come inside Dean. What did you think about it? I liked how he kind of dissolved it. It

LA: 17:52

almost looked like

Berly: 17:53

fiery or

LA: 17:55

lava-like, you know?

Berly: 17:56

It was very it was similar to how he kind of looked oozing out of Dean in the premiere episode. And now we understand why he was like oozing out of him like that, because we watched him inside, you know. Right,

LA: 18:08

right,

Berly: 18:08

right. Yeah.

LA: 18:10

But it was a cool effect to see him, you know, go into his arm.

Berly: 18:14

You liked watching him come inside Dean as well. Me, too. It was fun. I enjoyed that. So now it's just Dean and Cass because Benny came inside Dean. They have to fight leviathans and all this other stuff, but they do make their way up to the portal. And it's like, Dean does this awkward, like, little step over. Did you see it? And it's like, they showed it to us twice because they show it to us this time while Dean is remembering what happened. And then we get to see it again whenever they show us what Cass remembers as it's happening. And I'm just like... Who's the director on this? Because we did not need a wide shot of that. We didn't need to see that awkward. You would think

LA: 18:58

he could just walk into a portal, but I guess he really had to hike his leg over it. Yeah.

Berly: 19:07

got a kick out of it. I was cracking up. Well, Dean is remembering stepping up and over into the portal and then turning around and reaching back and reaching out for Cass and being like, come on, take my hand. Let's go. Take my hand. What movie? Take my hand. Oh, Lord of the Rings. Take

LA: 19:26

my hand.

Berly: 19:28

Cass takes his hand and is just saying his name over and over and over again. And then What Dean remembers is losing Cass, like him getting pulled out of his grip, and then the portal closed. So that's how Dean's remembering it, is that he kind of let Cass down there at the end, that he didn't have the strength to pull Cass into the portal because Cass was spent. He had just got his ass beat by a bunch of Leviathans.

LA: 19:56

Yeah, that beating was quite something.

Berly: 19:59

Oh, my God. It was really bad. Brutal. Were there like teeth? Was it me or were there teeth flying? I didn't notice that, but I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, they were just kicking his ass in their business casual or no, it wasn't even casual business professional outfits. Were these some of Dick Roman's employees?

Unknown: 20:18

Yeah.

LA: 20:18

They're business demons.

Berly: 20:19

They are getting to business. They are the business leviathans. So they have this revolution, revolution, revelation about the prophets. And they're like, oh, okay. So that's why they're collecting them. They're hoping that somebody is going to be able to help him other than Kevin. But unfortunately, he's going to have to kill Kevin in order for one of those prophets to work. Like this fucking sucks. This is bad news. What are we going to do? We got to find Kevin. Well, luckily their phone rings. It's Linda Tran. Linda Tran tells them that took Kevin But I've got a demon in my trunk. So let's meet up. They go to a midway point, a midway meeting point that Sam found. And oh, this is when the flashback happens. I got a little antsy because I needed to tell my joke. So while they're waiting for Mrs. Tran and Dean has his flashback, then at the end of the flashback, he gets really mad about it. And it's like, Cass, I need to talk to you. I need to talk to you. So they get out of the car and I guess Sam just sat in the car and watched them because I know that's what I would have done. I would have been really quiet and I would have tried to eavesdrop and hear exactly what they're saying. And Dean kind of yells at Cass and he finally ends with, I did not leave you. He's being defensive because he feels guilty. He is feeling like it was his fault. And Cass looks at him very confused and is like, what the fuck are you talking about? Is that what you think happened? That's not what happened. But then Linda Tran shows up. So the conversation has to stop. Linda has Kevin's notes about everything. So she gives those to Sam and Sam is able to put together a demon bomb. And I have to say, I kind of hope the demon bombs are going to happen. Not all the time, because I understand these ingredients are not easy to get their hands on and yada, yada, yada. But I think it's a cool effect. I was happy that we got to see it again. Yeah. And I like how Sam like nonchalantly lured all these demons into the room together and then was like, oh, You got me. Boom. He dropped his bomb. So there, yeah. Linda, somehow, how did they figure out where Kevin was? I

LA: 22:23

was going to ask you that.

Berly: 22:25

Oh, I remember now. The demon in the trunk. Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right. That's why he was there. And then after they open the trunk and they go, hey, you sure we're at the right place? Is this the right place? And the demon's like, yeah. Dean just very slowly was like, and just poked him, just like poked him with the demon knife to kill him. thanks it's just a little poke like it wasn't overly aggressive or really firm or violent it was just like took care of that one they handcuffed linda tran to the car because they don't want her to get hurt they're like we're gonna take care of this you stay here we're gonna take this really depleted tired dirty angel with us but you stay here Sam goes to save the other prophets, gets them out of there. And Cass and Dean go to save Kevin because Crowley has Kevin in his torture chair and he cuts off Kevin's finger. And so that's why the title A Little Slice of Kevin is funny.

Unknown: 23:27

Yikes.

Berly: 23:27

And the way Crowley did it, like he'd been torturing Kevin and then he was like, it was just very sudden. It was almost like

LA: 23:36

at an angle, not a clean shot. Yeah, no.

Berly: 23:38

It was impulsive as all hell that Crowley just suddenly cut off his finger. Kevin ended up caving because of his finger getting cut off and not wanting the other fingers to get cut off and ended up going through the tablet and telling Crowley everything. And he delayed as long as he could with telling him all the small stuff. Like he was really detailed. And then Crowley was like, Kevin, you took AP classes. Okay, you're smarter than this. That's why I didn't like any of those other prophets. They clearly were not AP material. I want the big stuff. Game changers.

LA: 24:14

The sexy stuff. He said, get to the sexy

Berly: 24:16

stuff. Get to the good stuff. And so Kevin does end up telling Crowley that there is a spell in there to close the gates of hell. Crowley's like, ooh, now we're talking. Also, there was something else they said. that it has to have some sort of relevance at some point, but they were saying that there was like a little forward at the end from Metatron, the scribe of God. Oh

LA: 24:39

yeah. Like a farewell.

Berly: 24:40

I think it even said, didn't it say he's going to earth? Like I'm leaving heaven. I guess it didn't say earth, but I think it said bye. Like I'm leaving heaven. Bye. I'm taking off. So I'm like, okay, that's got to come back at some point. Definitely. That's got to end up being important for some reason. So mental note guys. Metatron took a vacation and we never found out what this building was.

LA: 25:05

No. Maybe we'll see it again.

Berly: 25:06

Maybe. So Dean and Cass find Kevin and Crowley. A demon that's really powerful I'm assuming had followed them and showed up and I'm assuming that he was able to fight really well but Dean like charges at him and does the thing. I don't understand why most demons don't do this. He just uses his powers to just wipe Dean away. Just like Throw him into a wall of hanging chains. Again, we don't know where we are. So just go with it, guys. And then Cass uses almost everything in him to smite this demon to get rid of him. And he falls over. And that's when Dean is like, oh, fuck, you're not at full power. You came in here knowing you're a liability right now. Fuck you, man. What the hell? So they're at the door and they're trying to get in. And Cass is just like, OK, I know I'm a liability right now, but I'm going to go ahead and just pop in there real quick. Talk to you later. Dean's like, no. And then he goes in. And so he bluffs Crowley that he's at his full power, even though Crowley is like, no, you're not. And then he's like, really? Check this out. And he gets really bright. And we get to see his wings on the wall. We haven't seen this in a while. So it was fun to see. His eyes looked really cool. Kevin was looking right at him, though. I thought humans couldn't look at angels when they did that. Am I making that up? Cause remember Anna would be like, look away, cover your eyes. Whenever she did. Oh, I guess she like exploded out of her vessel. Maybe it's when they're not in their vessel that you can't look at them.

LA: 26:31

Yeah.

Berly: 26:31

Okay. That makes, that makes more sense. And so Crowley ends up getting scared. And I was like, fuck, okay, I'm going to get out of here. And in the process of him reaching for the tablet and Castiel doing his big intimidation performance, the tablet gets split in half and a table shatters. It was very dramatic. And Crowley peaces out of there. And so they just have half the tablet. And then Dean comes in and Sam is there and they're just all like, well, fuck, this sucks. We have half the tablet. Let's hope it's the half with the gates of hell thing that they're all wanting to do. Because Kevin is just like, I am more determined than ever. He fucking took my finger. And they were like, Cass thinks that he can fix that. But, you know, in the meantime, you're going to go stay with our friend named Garth. We called him, made sure it was OK first. I'm like, good. That's good, guys, that you aren't just volunteering at people's homes. And here's my thing. Garth is out hunting and doing stuff, too. Why can't y'all take care of Linda and Kevin? It's too

LA: 27:29

much.

Berly: 27:30

Too much responsibility. It's just too much. Garth is one person. I guess it would also be too obvious for Crowley. He would come find them. Garth is somehow going to be better at hiding them. I don't know. I mean, they were pretty good at hiding themselves. Nobody found them. The only reason. Yeah. It just Linda Tran fucking up hiring that witch is the only reason anybody found them. They'll just have Garth to kind of be their support system to help them with like groceries and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. So Cass comes back up to Dean and it's just like, hey, Dean. Hey. Oh, shit. I totally forgot. We got a blood splooge.

LA: 28:07

Oh, we

Berly: 28:08

did? We did. We got our 63rd blood splooge of the Supernatural series when Crowley was trying to intimidate Kevin into reading the tablet for him. He was saying that he would start killing off the prophets.

LA: 28:22

Oh, yeah.

Berly: 28:23

He had one of the prophets, one of the potential prophets, float up in the air before he snapped his finger and she exploded and she splooged all over Kevin. Oh, that's right. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. There you go. Blood splooge. okay so back back to the ending here where we're wrapping up so sam and dean are telling linda and kevin we're gonna take you to garth it'll be fine and cast goes up to dean i was like hey wait a minute buddy we didn't get to finish our conversation earlier it was not your fault and dean's like i don't want to hear it he's like dean it's not your fault he's like no he's like dean it's not your fault he's like no no you don't understand dean it's not your fault You like that Goodwill hunting reference? Of course I do. I thought you would like that. I thought you would like that. So finally, Castiel is just like, oh, my God, if you're not going to fucking listen to me, then I'll just show you. And he fingers Dean's forehead and he gets a flashback to see them in purgatory. And we get to see Dean do his little step. We'll step in again. Again, we didn't need a wide shot. Who decided to make that a wide shot? Anyway, and what happened was that Dean was trying to pull Cass and then Cass threw Dean's hand away and told him to go. And that's whenever he tells him that he intentionally stayed behind and his reasons why. And Dean is just like, oh my God, I've been beating myself up for nothing. Well, then they're talking about next steps or something. I can't remember what. And it just all of a sudden cuts.

LA: 29:49

Yeah, that started

Berly: 29:49

me

LA: 29:50

off.

Berly: 29:50

Me too. I like rewound it. I thought the DVD skipped or something because I wasn't watching it on Netflix. I was watching the Blu-ray. So I like rewound. I totally thought it skipped. I'm like, what happened? And I did it again. I was like, what the fuck? And we meet Naomi.

LA: 30:04

It's

Berly: 30:05

just she's business professional, too. You know, Leviathans and the angels would have really gotten along, I guess. But they're in, like, an office. She's like, this is heaven. And Cass is like, I've never been here. And she's like, yeah, most people haven't. But I'm the one who saved you from purgatory. That was me. I pulled you out. I got that pull-out method down. We did lose a bunch of angels by doing it. Like a whole bunch of people died. But I got you out. And you know what you're going to do to pay me back? You're going to report back to me on Sam and Dean Winchester. And you're not going to remember any of it. And she's like, tell me about Sam and Dean. And he does. And he was like, why did I do that? And she was like, yeah, exactly. You're my bitch. Talk to you later. Sam and Dean won't even realize that you were gone. And boom, it cuts back. And Sam is in the middle of his sentence. Like, I think it was the exact word as when... had flashed away. Uh-oh. Oh, and I forgot the other big revelation. I keep forgetting things. Sorry. The big thing that Metatron said in his farewell, another thing that was really important in his farewell, was that there are multiple tablets. Not just a demon and the Leviathan tablet. There are multiple tablets for mankind to use if they need it. And so Crowley was very interested in what other tablets are there. And of course, Sam and Dean and Kevin and Linda and all them, they are also very much like, we got to get those tablets before Crowley gets those tablets. What are we going to do? We don't know. It was written by Eugenie Ross-Lemming and Brad Buckner. And it was directed by Charlie Karner. All right, so gore. We got a blood splooge.

Unknown: 31:44

Mm-hmm.

Berly: 31:44

It was pretty fantastic. I can't recall us having a blood splooge from someone levitating before. That was new. Yeah, I think so. The torture scenes were pretty fucking gruesome.

LA: 31:55

Yeah, bloody.

Berly: 31:56

Yeah, bloody. The finger cut. We got to see that. That was pretty cool.

LA: 32:02

Yeah.

Berly: 32:02

Yeah, and that fight scene with Cass. That wasn't gore, per se, but damn. It was like he was just standing there getting his ass beat. He really was. Right. Yeah. But it makes sense because he was under he believed he was in purgatory to be punished. So it kind of makes sense now that he was just standing there and taking it.

LA: 32:19

Yeah.

Berly: 32:19

But at the time I was like, what the fuck? Oh my God. So good. There was some good gore in this. Did you adore anything about this episode? I think I like to

LA: 32:30

see Mrs. Tran like in her new element. She's got the buckets of the holy water on the door. She's got it in the super soakers. She's just like on it. I like seeing how she's immersed herself in this to keep her little boy safe.

Berly: 32:48

Right. And she was even talking to him about, no, we need to stand our ground. We're going to stop running. We're going to start fighting. Like it's, it's time to fight.

LA: 32:55

Yeah.

Berly: 32:56

Like she is in it.

LA: 32:57

What about you?

Berly: 32:58

It's fun to start getting some of these gaps filled in, you know, with the flashbacks from purgatory as finally finding out what happened with Cass. I'm very interested. Who is this? What's her name again? What was her name? Annie? No, not Annie. She said her name, Naomi, Naomi. Oh yeah. Who is this? Naomi chick. Why are they so interested in Sam and Dean? Very weird. Um, and these other tablets. I feel like it's been kind of a slow start to the season. I've been quiet about going, but what's the point? Because I feel like I've done that the past few seasons. So I'm like, I'll just keep that thought to myself this time. But just so you know, I have been thinking it. Okay, we're going to close the gates of hell. Can we get going on that? We've been just kind of talking about it. And here it is. We're on episode, what is this? Episode seven? Yeah. She's kind of like, okay. It feels like we're moving forward now. Things are getting moving. Yeah. So just... I'm excited about that and I'm excited to have confirmation that yes Kevin is special to Crowley because he could have just killed Kevin and waited for any one of those prophets to activate but it was like no he wanted Kevin he didn't like the other options he liked his little AP student for today's lore we're doing another flashback this week we are listening to the lore from season 4 episode 18 the monster at the end of this book so According to Adventist.org, most dictionaries agree a prophet is a person who receives a divine message and speaks to other human beings on behalf of a deity. The Bible's definition, based on how prophets are described throughout Scripture and what they are tasked to do, isn't much different than what the dictionaries say. It's like being God's spokesperson for a given time and place. Being chosen as a prophet is considered an honor, and it demands courage, diligence, and selflessness. Not easy things for imperfect humans to consistently maintain. Fortunately, one of the perks for prophets was God was with them every step of the way, so they didn't have to rely on their own human strength or confidence. Even though the foretelling of future events is not the primary function of a prophet, There's a reason it's common for people to think it's the defining characteristic of prophets. Several of the most famous prophets of the Bible revealed important aspects of the future to their intended audiences. Not necessarily circa like trashy novels. That wasn't usually the way. But, you know. True. Like to each their own. Whatever. God often spoke to his prophets directly. But when he had complex concepts to convey, God often gave his prophets visions. So that's like what we were seeing with Chuck. I did feel bad for him when he was describing when he gets visions, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I forgot to go over his process where he dreams. Yeah. And then he gets a headache. No, he gets the headache first. And then he drinks until he passes out. Oh, I had it the opposite way. And then once he's passed out, he dreams the visions. Right. I was like, Jesus. Yeah. That's rough. That's real rough. Not good for you. Yikes. Not good for your liver. Goodness. Sometimes to really pack a punch with the message, God delivered through his prophets. There were miracles involved. Oh, these usually happened with more extreme situations when it was dangerous for the prophets to proclaim these prophecies. Okay. Dangerous. I don't know, man. I'm not a. I don't know. The strangest prophet is probably. God damn it. Balaam. Balaam. B-A-L-A-A-M. Balaam. Balaam.

LA: 37:10

Balaam. Yeah. You're probably right.

Unknown: 37:11

Yeah.

Berly: 37:12

I'll call him Baal for short. He was not an Israelite. In fact, he worked with those who wished Israel harm. Yet he received messages from God and recognized his authority. Though when Baal started going through his own way instead of God's way, God had to set him back on the right path by talking through his donkey. Oh. That's not a metaphor. Oh, well, I figured. His talking ass. Nah. So, so far, we've talked about prophets in a positive light. But the Bible also tells us to be wary of false prophets. Oh, yes. But not all false prophets are this easy to recognize. False prophets have been used by the devil to spread lies, mixing truth with error in order to seem more convincing. This is how you're going to find out if somebody's really a prophet. Okay. Number three. Prophecies should never add anything to Scripture, but only refer back to it for the purpose of reminding or expounding upon it. I call into question that one because can't you just memorize the Scripture and then just say that or expound upon something and make some stuff up? But since it relates back to the Scripture, people are going to be like, oh, check. I don't know. Okay. If they do make prescriptions, this is number four. If they do make predictions... They must come to pass as spoken. I don't know what that means. I feel like all these are a little like. They aren't really good tests, right? Okay, number five. Prophecies often point out the sins of the people and tell them how to change. Again, I feel like I could make that up.

LA: 39:29

Yeah.

Berly: 39:29

If I memorize the scripture, I feel like I could make any of these up so far. Next, what they prophecy must never contradict. that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the earth. And then last, a person's fruits are what they repeatedly do. When working for God, prophets should generally demonstrate a Christ-like character. I totally feel like I could be a fake prophet and pass all of these tests. Yeah. I think they need to come up with some better tests. Right? Do they look sexy laid out on a couch in just a robe and boxers? Chuck. Chuck.

LA: 40:08

all

Berly: 40:15

right well quote to close it out whenever linda was taking her check-in call from delta mendota delta said i don't suppose you'd tell me the recipe for these bombs
