lotesseI. Loved. This. Episode.
The witchcraft was AWESOME - gory, but creepy also in a way that the show hasn't been for a while. imdb says Krip wrote this one. I missed the title cards because the teeth were freaking me out.
I like Ruby. She works for me. More importantly, she work with both of them - I was equally interested by her interplay with Dean and with Sam. Bela, imo, can't work that. That said, I so don't buy her "I'm different" line to Dean at the end. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't, but there's a scheme at work here. She has some sort of vested interest in the outcome, and I don't buy that it's sunshine and flowers.
But I felt genuinely sorry for her during the confrontation with the Witch Demon, especially as she was help up so prettily against Elizabeth - nice girl in the wrong place at the wrong time, and no way to say sorry afterwards. Man, this verse really doesn't seem to do Divine Grace or Repentance or any of those things.
Sam and Dean. Jesus, jesus boys. Sammy has to be more like Dean, because he'll be lost without him. "You're going to leave." Sam freaking the fuck out over hexed Dean. Dean pulling Sammy up after stabbing the living hell out of the Witch Demon. Sammy sliding up the fucking wall to the ceiling, like Mary, like Jess, like Dean in the grasp of Azazel back in the first season, Christ I thought my heart was going to jump out of my mouth when his feet left the floor. (And was he stopping it? That almost looked like it might have been some tk mojo before Dean busted in.
The revelation at the end was a gut punch. Dean, oh Dean. This is what Kripke meant, when he said that Dean was going to find a reason for living. That in itself could almost break my heart, that Dean's reason for life is to not become the thing that destroyed his family. Oh Dean.
I wanted a boys tag badly - I needed hugs and veiled confessions of love after that episode - but the tag we did get was so fucking good that I almost can't mourn the lack of emopornalicious broyay. Next week, though, had better fucking deliver. Doesn't look like it'll be a problem. Oh show, I love you so absolutely goddamn much.
eta: and the music! and the Secret snark! and Dean hating witches! And and and!
