Discussion about Amelia and Dawn

Welcome to Devil's Trap Podcast. I'm Diana.

Liz, did you change that entry?

And then I did this week. We're going to talk about season eight, episode 10 torn and frayed.

Look at us getting that out there like professionals.

take two by the way

It was. How are things with you?

busy but good. We're trying to think. I did see music this weekend. I know everybody's shocked by this information, but it was not what I thought I was going to see. Well, first we did see the Brian Setzer orchestra or not Brian Setzer orchestra, Brian Setzer, Rockabilly Riot Trio band, whatever. It was amazing. He was phenomenal. I was very impressed and it was a good show. It's felt, it's, I get why, cause like people are old.

I was.

Band?

but also this was a show that I kind of wish wasn't in like an all seated theater.

That's my comment.

Yeah, yeah, no, I typically don't like any shows that involve me sitting down. Just because I just don't like it. I want to watch things on my feet and you know.

me either.

I want to move around. If I want to go find a seat, I can. But like here in like, you know, Rock this town, you want to like get up and rock. Like, I don't know. It's a thing. But yeah, so that was awesome.

Yeah.

but you can tap your foot and pat your knee like an old person.

Sure, sure. You can do that. Yeah. And then we ended up in Deep Ellum and got to see Noogie do a set. It's a Dallas punk band. We watched a couple songs from a band named Ghoul, but it was, we did not stick around for municipal waste, unfortunately.

You crazy kids. You can't get up and dance. That's obscene.

Yeah, I think that most of that's no game. We didn't play the San Antonio show. I know municipal waste played this weekend. Yeah, they played here Friday. They went, oh, what municipal waste is playing? That's what I that's what I did.

No, it's two different shows. Yeah.

Yeah, it was Saturday here. Yeah. That's what you did. Gool, I will say, do like they do all like that. Theatrics like war esque, but it also involves they all the band members are wearing burlap sacks over their heads instead of big costumes. But they have like big cost elaborate costumed characters come out on stage. It's kind of cool. And then all babe could say was like, I can't imagine playing a set with a burlap sack over my head. I would be so sweaty. I'm like, yes, you would, babe. Yes, you would. Oh, gross. Yeah.

Yeah.

exciting.

and you know how bad they smell.

I'm getting ready for some South by Southwest adjacent activities, but that's about it.

Sounds exciting. The invasion. The invasion is coming.

Ugh.

How about you?

So everyone will be shocked that I went to a bunch of yoga classes. And so one of the yoga classes and I kind of went to some different vibes and. I went to one, which was supposed to be restorative. It's supposed to be restorative yet and poses and the class was filled with 30 people and the maps were like six inches apart.

almost like you couldn't like raise your arms and so I'm like I don't really feel restorative but I can smell someone else's armpit and so we're down like around the floor and the teacher is walking around she's telling the story right and so she's like reading it from like a card or a phone and she starts telling the story about this guy who changed his career in his 60s and decided that he wanted to make fried chicken

Hmm.

It's not relaxing.

and how he failed thousands of those that are going like, Are you telling the story and Colonel fucking Sanders? And she was. So she started off the beginning of this yoga class talking about the story of Colonel Sanders and how, like Colonel Sanders, you shouldn't give up if you can't get into a yoga position. And I was sitting there going like, now I'm just thinking about like corporate nonsense and like

chickens being slaughtered and like just not yoga things. I was not, I was... Yeah, I was like, we're just nothing yoga-y, like for sure. And I, but like this isn't like, it felt like, this is Paul Harvey and now you've know the rest of the story bullshit. And I'm like, I'm in a yoga class, bitch. Like, what? And I'm just like, this is, I know my face was just like, making like, just like, I couldn't stop it from like making the faces.

Not, I would say that's something to sound, or at least just think about fried chicken at that point. I don't feel like that's yoga either.

Like I did, oh, and then like the soundtrack was contemporary pop music done to by piano.

I don't know.

So it was like classical stuff, like so thing like Lady Gaga stuff. And you know, and then like some older like I think there was like some Maryamina low in there, like it was fucking torture. Like by the end, I was just like, so tense and like, I'm going to punch a bitch if I can't get out of here. Like it was, it was bad. I almost like, I was like spent like half a class thinking about.

Oh.

It's intense.

So if I just like walk down to the manager's office, I can just quit today, right, and let them know how to come back. Like it was like, there was like a 30, like I didn't, I want to give it like, I want to give that gym another chance, but they're, they're pushing it. Like the Colonel Sanders thing was.

It's a lot. And that was the second class I've taken there that was that crowded. And I like, I don't know if it's just because like spring break is on. So maybe the people have more time. So I want to give it a week or two, because typically, like, I don't know if people don't keep going to gyms that often. You know what I mean? Like the gym has just seemed really, really full the past couple of weeks.

Yeah.

People need things to do other than be at your gym.

Yeah, they do. They're gonna go back to school or something. I don't know. So anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. So I didn't like, but it would be cool. Like if you were gonna do like that, then we like make a chicken pose, right? Like, like stand like a chicken. Yeah, like you can't like.

Yeah, do something, do a tie in or something. Yeah. Give everybody a piece of chicken skin. I don't know. I'm just kidding. Okay.

Yeah, and she was like, it's so great thinking about the great empire that Kentucky Fried Chicken is now and I'm like, no, it's horrible. Like it's destroying the earth. And like, it was like, oh, my brain was just like not going to a good. I'm sorry. I can't like I thought no shade on them, but I mean. Yeah, anyways, it's not yoga things, not yoga thoughts.

You didn't make a stop by and get a four piece on the way. I'm just teasing you. I'm teasing you. Ugh.

I did not stop by the KFC taco bell combo that is on my way home from it could be if I wanted it to be, it would have to go out of my way to, but it is possible to go from the gym to a KFC. I did, but I did not. Oh, like when you leave. No, you did that. So you became a sassy pony.

Oh yeah, I also chopped my hair off. That's the other thing I did. I did. I have sassy pony hair.

Hmm

Hmm

my story too. That's all I got. I forgot though.

All right, are you ready to talk about Torn and Frayed?

Ugh, I guess.

Okay, I'm going to say this. We have to get through this episode. Yeah, there's sunshine coming. Some of the best episodes, like this is my favorite episodes are about to come. So we have to get through this. We'll get through today. And we'll.

Okay.

Got it.

Yeah, I'm sad about a couple components, but I'm also relieved. So, I mean, don't get me wrong. It's not a bad episode. It's just.

So it's not so this episode, as you said, was season eight, episode 10. It first aired January 16th, 2013 and was directed by Sir. He's not a knight, but Robert Singer and was written by Jenny Klein, who was just nominated for a writer's build award. And I forget what she was nominated for. Oh, for it was like the Daisy, the Daisy one, the rock one, the Daisy five, whatever, like.

She's got your award. So hopefully she wins that. So we go from the start of this though, we have this really like kind of epic road so far that's set to like a seeker song.

Yeah, Catman Dew by Bob Seger.

Yeah, and but it's like kind of reminding us of like the sadness because like steer is like starts off at the beginning just already being hurt.

Yeah. So our episode opens with Samandriel, AKA Alfie, AKA Stuart. And they've got this crazy like spike in his forehead. This is very distressing. I was like.

See you.

It is very distressing and that he manages to like poop it out. This is what I think. Yep, yep. And he calls to Naomi and you're like what the fuck? He knows that cunt? Like oh no.

with angel power pushes it out of his brain hole.

Mm-hmm, but basically he's just trying to commune with the angel radio I guess but he gets interrupted by this doctor dude that we figure out his name is Vigo way later but my notes just say doctor dude until we figure that out because technically but and I don't know if he's a doctor dude, but he's wearing a white lab coat. So that's what I went with doctor dude and He's like, oh, I know you were trying to use angel radio So I gotta put this spike back in your head boom and shoves it in

and Alfie screaming slash Stuart. So basically this spike is in his brain and it keeps him from connecting to Angel Radio.

Yeah, it's very disturbing.

Yeah, it's like a lobotomy that's like at the whole field.

setting. So we go to Kermit, Texas.

It is.

And Sam is drinking in that motel room and it looks like the same motel room where he like fixed the gross garbage disposals, whatever. And because I guess Kerma only has one motel. That is not true because

What motel? That tracks. Oh.

I looked up things on current tactics and I was trying to figure out what we're going to do with this episode It was very hard if you're out to do with this. So Dean comes knocking on her door and they just start on the hotel door and they just start bickering immediately and Here's also where diana is going to learn why she got a text from me last night where I asked her fang banger or kiss and kill and She was picking between the two things that are narrowed down to one which was going to be a quiz about fang bangers

about this murder that happened in Kermit, Texas, and it's very sad. And I'll send you the article that's in Texas Monthly. It's a very cool, there's a ghost that haunts the high school in Odessa. But we could have learned about that, but instead Diana wanted to learn about fang bangers. Are you whore? Obviously. Okay. And the reason that we get here is because while they're going back and forth, and I just want to put off us talking about Sam being a little bitch here for a minute. So Dean says, tell Sam that you heard what you wanted to hear.

Hmm.

Oh, sorry. Obviously, obviously.

I told you Benny wasn't killing. Hell, I watched him end the fang banger that was. Now I feel like Dean is misusing the term fang banger here because he is basically saying that the vampire was a fang banger, which I guess is true if he was banging other vampires. To me, my definition of a fang banger is somebody who fucks a vampire.

Hmm

Okay.

Would you agree?

guess somehow I've associated with both, but not really thought about it.

Yep. So I still was also like, I think Fang Bangers are good because I would be one if that was possible. So we are going to have a quiz about some of my favorite Fang Bangers. Okay. And so we're going to start the quiz off. There's only a few in here. And these are some elite Fang Bangers. And so the way we're going to do this is first I will give you a quote that they said, if that's not enough for you to guess.

Let me in.

Same. Okay.

then I will tell you more information and we'll go from there. Okay? All right, so your first... so um Fang Mangers, oh for universe for this these are... I can narrow down the universes if you want but they're Liz's favorite thing so there are things that you know. I only pick from things that series I know you've watched.

Okay.

it.

Okay, I feel better than I was like, oh shit, because there's somebody.

Yeah, no, these are all things you've seen. Uh, all right. So, all right. First quote. Hey, thanks for cutting my head off again, Dick.

I said.

I don't know. Damn it.

All right. So his previous lives have included a knight who was an amazing archer, but he was a capitated battle, a spy, a wax seller, a monger, a carpet monger, a suitcase monger, a fish monger, a fly monger, a washer woman who would bathe Nadja, a horse who Nadja would ride naked through the countryside, a street thief who lassoed a capitated with the cleaver, a no.

Ah, I knew it was gonna be that. Damn it. Laszlo. No, it's not, no, it's not.

A naval officer killed by Lazlo with a cutlass on a ship. An Amazon explorer killed when Lazlo tipped off the natives. A mouse killed by Lazlo in cat form.

It's the...

Do you need another clue?

No, I know who it is and I can't think of their name. Jeff, Jeff.

Uh uh uh. Yes, and it was Jeff Suckle, aka Gregor, from What We Do in the Shadows.

Yes.

I almost missed that one, sorry.

your second one.

and drink the medicine.

I need a lot of help, I'm sorry.

There's a little longer quote than that. My soul is wrapped in harsh repose. Midnight descends in raven colored clothes, but soft behold a sunlight beam. Cutting a swath of glimmering green. My heart expands, tis grown a bulge in it, inspired by your beauty. Evulgent.

I don't know. You're stumping me. I feel bad.

Okay, here are your hints. He has alternatively been called Blondie Bear, Captain Peroxide, Hostel 17, Randy Giles, William the Bloody.

Oh, is that, is that Bill?

No, Spike.

Oh, damn it. Different, different blonde. Oh wait, no, Bill wasn't. Yeah, Bill wasn't blonde. That's right. A full gent. Yeah, I know. I went to the wrong vampire universe and that's where my brain was going.

He was a poet, remember? A Folgent. He used the word a Folgent.

Okay, sorry. All right, here's your quote on this one. This is why we're only doing a few. They're very tough.

They are. I'm disappointed myself because you know how I feel about vampires.

All right, you should quote. You know, I read in Hustler, everybody should have sex with a vampire at least once before they die.

Oh, that's obviously, um, Suki. No.

Oh, haven't I given you the clue? Unlike his fang banging sister, he didn't save himself for a vampire and has a reputation in Bombton for being a man whore.

No?

Oh, god damn it, Jason.

Yes, it is Jason Stackhouse.

It was the stack houses.

is you're close, you're very close. Half of them in the stack house. All right, the last one. So that was just a few, all right. Quote, stop trusting vampires.

I mean, I feel like there's a list that could have said that.

Yes. Okay, here's your head. His bank account password is vamps layer, and he has the most deaths in his series.

He was also a teacher.

Uh...

his wife became a vampire.

He fathered twin witch babies that Carolyn carried to term.

Oh man. No, I can't think of the name. Uh, I can see him. I can see his face.

He was Damon Salvatore's best friend. He likes to drink whiskey and a glass. He wore a ring a lot. Then he ended up being a vampire. Then he ended up not being a vampire. Then he ended up running the Salvatore school for boys, for Rettmover. And he's one of your favorite characters. And all right, or we'll stop.

Yeah, he's super cute. I'm I know exactly. I can see his freaking face. I know. And I just blanked on his name because he's the star of legacies and I haven't started legacies. I want to finish origins, but I'm never going to finish originals. I mean, not origins originals. So someday I need to and I can't think of his name. It's a weird name. And I liked it. I'll I'll. Damn it. Oh, all right.

He's in legacies.

No, yet, no one's ever going to finish originals.

It's Alaric. It's Rick. Saltzman from Vampire Diaries.

I'm failing in my vampire lore. I'm sorry. Apparently so. Dave will be very disappointed. Just a second. Dude, okay. I just need to get him to figure out how to become a vampire and then that's all covered. I don't have to worry about it. Solutions, that's what I'm here for.

I think that just means you need to go screw more vampires. That was your homework. It's a vampire. I mean, I think you get passes for vampires. I feel like those are like, that's just like in your vows. There you go.

Yeah. Solutions. Always coming up with one. So those are, that was our distraction from Sam being a little bitch. Now

Ah.

I will say he was a he's a bitch. The only thing I'm going to give him is he did have a point when he was like, so you have he basically called out how fucked up it is that he that Dean was used. Sam's trauma of all the women he loves dying against him.

You know, that's fucked. No, that's completely fucked up. Yeah, but...

You mean like Sam's being a bitch, but that is that is pretty fucked. Like when you think about it, like because that is like Sam's like big trauma, not his only voice of both very traumatized men.

Yeah, no, Sam's pain of death. It's a, it's a thing, you know, like he's got, he, it's an, it's a thing. It's an issue. I'm sure like, we all know you touch Sam and you die. That's just how it goes. But, but they're also going around and around in circles about Benny. I'm very tired of that. And Sam just wants to know if he's done with him. Are you done with him? Are you?

Yeah, yeah

Yeah. So it's a it's a

Ugh. And, yeah.

Are you done with him? Yeah, it's so bizarre. I don't know what that bitch shit is about. It's really weird that he's got like this... And he's the one that like wanted Dean to have like... A gray area on things.

But not when, I don't know, I think it's jealous. Not when, I don't know, Dean, so Dean just does the adult thing and walks out on him, which, you know, I'm not gonna say that I would never do that. And so we go from that and we cut to a playground.

but not when they're friends.

Ah.

And there's a screaming baby. Screaming baby. And she looks very tired. But Castiel appears, just flaps right in. It's like, by the way, your baby's been crying for two days. The doctors missed something. That's really specific type of hernia. So I'm going to tap your baby on the head, fix it, and we're going to be out.

That poor woman.

Flaps right in.

It's an equinox hernia and I looked it up what it was and then I was like, I'm glad it didn't go to medical school because I don't understand this, but it has something to do with like your abdominal, like your stomach, like poking into like an intestine type thing. I don't know. But then like in a baby, it's gotta be super tiny intestine.

Yeah. Little itty bitty.

So but he can figure that out because he's better than an MRI. Like he should like why like angels like what the fuck, man? They'll y'all should be doing this as a service. Like we know they're dicks, but like, oh my God, you can save our health care system. Like that's how you say that. Does an angel go to diabetes, you know, or like did it? Well, then like you don't have diabetes anymore. And then like we're done. Just a boop. The boop system.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but angels are dicks, we know that they won't.

Boop. Tap. The boop system. The boop system is real.

Boop-bama care, no boop-caid. I'll come up with a way, I don't know. Like boop-boocade. So, but the baby is now, boop-boop-boocare. So the baby is now happy and healthy. And while that happens, he just gets zapped right up to Naomi.

Ah, boopacare, boopacare.

Yeah, and she's like, you need to go rescue Samandriel, aka Alfie, aka St- alright, right now. But no one can know that I sent you, you just have to pretend like you're doing it on your own. K, bye!

Yeah, and it's just like, all right. And he's also, she's also like, it's also, it's your idea. I didn't do this.

Yeah. So he shows up to go find Dean who is who's sleeping on the sofa, AKA passed out with a beer.

No, he goes to watch Dean sleep. Yeah, that's damn Dean. Damn. Yeah, like, that's not good. It's not healthy.

And but cast like I need your help. I heard on Angel Radio this morning about. Some Andrea being captured because I checked Angel Radio since I've been doing penance and helping people. So I need your help. And Crowley has some Andrea. Let's go somewhere in Nebraska.

Yep, and it's also going to involve talking to people. So he definitely needs his help because he's not good with that. And I hear you, Cas, like I do. And Dean opens up his laptop and it just like Cas porn on it and he quickly tries to close it.

Hehehehehehe...

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, you saw nothing. But he gets online and Cowsdale's telling him, hey, when you torture an angel, their screams create weird incidents, which is very distressing information.

Yeah, but I also feel like everything creates strange omens and incidents like these incidents that they're seeing are the same type of things that happens when the demons do something or when the apocalypse is coming. Or like, so how do you tell them apart? I don't know.

much.

That's true.

I don't know. I don't have the answer.

So, yeah, we're going to do that. But then we're going to make some same back in Amelia, Texas. Oh, we go back to Amelia and Sam, because we're in Texas and Sam is watching a classic documentary on the history of the dog beetle. It's one of my favorite documentaries. So good.

Mm-hmm.

Really?

the first yeah it's really i don't know i said for the first documentary i ever saw but it doesn't feel fascinating like this rolls like it's a little poop up into like a ball and it's just like it's a really good documentary thing i hadn't very much you know anyways uh oh no it was robert's like i think it's bobby's robert singer the director who's doing the voiceover on the dung beetle yeah so anyways Amelia's knocking on the door

Huh. Well.

Oh, well, yeah, she's there and she's like at the bar. I had to just make sure it was you. But I definitely saw you peeping in my window. And that was stalkerish, which it was. So now I'm confused. So she just showed up at his motel room. So she knew where to find him. And so what she just showed up at the bar was like, Sam. And he's like, oh, and then she just like left. They didn't have a conversation. It's very odd.

Yeah, she was, she showed up and she was like, it's you. And then my husband's named being deployed. I have to go. And so she just like laughed at the bar and went to like, as he was being said, he was going somewhere for his job.

It's just odd. Either way, it just didn't make sense. So he travels a lot now and he wants to know why she's there. And she's like, well, I was all settled in and content, but now that you're here and now I know that you care, then. And they kiss.

No, it's stupid. This whole thing is stupid. Amelia's stupid.

You know, it is fucked up, man. Like your ex keeps showing up. Like you've moved on with somebody else and then like your hot mousse is like whoever you are, it's not whoever you're dating or married to is not Jared Padalecki. And so like, clearly like, you know, like, I'm fine with the new show up and I'm like, shit, and then I'm like, okay, like, I guess we're going to have sex now because look at you.

Well, first date right now, they just kiss. However, we all know where this is going. So we cut back to where Crowley and Vigo have some andriel and they have now constructed this bizarre like metal head harness thing and to hold the spike in because he keeps pushing it out, I guess. And then they keep adding more to them. I don't know. It's.

You know?

There's more spikes. That's what I know.

Sad and then they hurt him so much that he starts chanting and A bush catches on fire and there is a dude against a wall

I don't like it.

and burns him. Poor Mr. Hinckley's just chilling, walking down the street. He hears a bush talking, goes to check it out, because I guess that's what you do. I don't know. And the bush bursts into flames. I'd be very distressed.

Yes, no, I don't think that would be a good day. I'm not quite sure what I would do with that information.

So Dean and Cass have to go visit Mr. Hinkley in the hospital. And they pretend to be journalists, but basically, and Dean makes a really good pun about an ambush. I'm just, I can't leave that one alone. It's so good.

Yeah, yeah, it was like, tell us about your ambush. And the joke is not by appreciated by Cass or the or the bush dude.

Yeah, but basically they've determined that what the chance that he heard the bus say the bush saying was a Nokia and four obey and that and casted comments the amount of pain that an angel must be in to not only speak through shrubbery, but to burn it.

Yes, if you manifest through shrubbery, you're in a lot of pain. Also just the word shrubbery will always be funny. It just always will be. Thank you, Monty Python. So Dean thinks that they should drive until they see ugly.

Yeah. I was so happy. No, that's why I was.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but instead we're going to cut back to fucking Kermit, Texas, because Amelia and Sam have banged it out.

And now they're going to have an awkward post-coitus conversation.

Yeah. And because now it's like, oh, this was great. But it was also a mistake. Yeah, totally. I agree. Yeah. She's like, I have a good life and a good man. I don't want to hurt him. But I think of you all the time. Anyways, so.

So she may give us some ultimatum and I mean, yes, it is fair.

Yeah.

It is fair. All you need to be all in or all out. You have to be all in or all out. Pick one. But if you're going to be in your we're all in together. But if you're fucking out, just get the fuck out and don't come back motherfucker. Reasonable. That part's reasonable. It's probably not reasonable after she just wrote his dick.

Yeah, and I think I think that is fair. She should have, she should have done it. Yeah, yeah, she should have. This conversation is supposed to happen before you get naked and touch your naughty bits together, but also. I understand. I get it. I really acclimatize that moose. Like you go girl. So, um, but she gives like a kick two days.

Yes.

Which is like this really random, like, we both need time to think. So we're going to take two days to think. Exactly. Two days. And we'll either both be here or neither of us will be here. Or one of us will be here. We'll be back at the motel room that we fucked at.

48 hours, I need 48 hours.

Will now? Will now.

Yeah. Okay. So anyway, Dean and Cass have identified the one of many factories, abandoned factories. Apparently this is the ninth one they've checked and this one actually has demons at it. So that's how they know this is the one that Crowley's at.

And Dean says, ain't that America? And then I get John Cougar mellocamp stuck, well actually John Miller Hellercamp, as done by avail, stuck in my head every time I see it. And now every time I see it written in my notes. Yep, there it is. It's gonna be in my head. So, but those, yes, those derelicts are demons. I'm gonna be derelict.

Yeah.

They're like demons. And basically, there's a bunch of angel wards. So Dean can't go in alone because of the number of demons and Cass can't go in because of the wards. So Cass is like, we need to get Sam. And Dean's like, nah, we're not getting Sam, which is a common theme in this episode. So we go Fizzle's Folly.

a better idea.

Where did we go to?

Fizzles Folly! Yes Garth, I love you so much Fizzles Folly. Mr. Fizzles! So, and hi Kevin!

We... Mm-hmm.

And we see Kevin. Oops, I shouldn't say it that way. And he is translating tablets still. And there is like it's not murder wall, but it's like that equivalent of an in-depth translation, like notes all over the walls here. And he's by himself. Which is weird too. And basically apparently, oh, yeah, focused.

Heheheheh

Yeah, he cracked out.

Yep. But also I get that, you know, cause he's, he is focused. He is like trying to figure shit out. He's only got half a tablet and remember the tablet does like weird, shaky things when you read it. So.

Yeah, I would make me motion sick.

Yeah, I think this is basically happening, right? It's like you just get motion sections like as you read it. Oh, man, what the fuck, man? This messed up.

Oh, and then they put them on the boat to read it. It's even worse. This is rude. Oh, well, either way, apparently, Kevin looks like shit. Garth isn't there and Dean wants more Demon TNT. So we go back to Crowley and Simandriel.

Oh, so before we do that, we do get a list of some of the ingredients that are in this and that includes West Bank, which Hazel, Skull of Egyptian calf, the tail of some random ass newt that may or may not be extinct. So I'm just like, do these keep taking the tail of the same newt? Because again, it keeps going back. Yeah, and also like, is that a business I could have?

It keeps growing back. That's funny. Good point.

You just have like, you just got to keep the one new alive, right? And then he just like regenerates is and they get like gift that keeps on giving. I don't know. Maybe that's my new career path. I'm just going to breed new tales.

I mean, yeah.

Newt, newt tales, newt tale distributor.

Yeah, Figmeat Tales. Okay, so Cas basically offers to be Instacart. And so he goes to go shopping and fill his cart up. And now we have to go back to poor Alfie.

course, yeah, poor Alfie. And because Crowley is like, yeah, I need, um, well, Vigo is like, I need you Crowley to tell me what the fuck he's saying. Cause when I screw this spike into Alfie's brain, he starts saying weird shit. I don't understand it. And

And of course Crowley is so smart when he speaks of Nokian, because he's so smart.

Of course he does. And he's saying that they basically have tapped into the equivalent of the operating system that programmed the angels to be angels. And so he now wants to figure out what makes the angels tick.

Yeah, so it's just, it's very, very well shot and very hard to watch because it's really you know, just watching the turning of the screws in there in the head and it's just and it feels like it's tightening and just oh poor baby, poor baby and not the car but also you know so Dean is you know so we got cut from that to Dean just pacing, pacing back and forth.

That's weird.

I don't like it.

Yeah, it's screaming.

I like it.

Mm hmm. And Kevin's wearing headphones and cannot hear Dean. So Dean whispers to him that his mom is hot.

Yep, he just starts saying very lascivious things about Linda Tran.

Mm hmm. And then the phone rings and it's Benny. Benny, Benny's supposed to be underground. He's like, I am underground. I'm in a park hanging out in new clothes. Look at me. And he is basically says that, you know, the situation that he what he was trying to do, what happened with Martin wasn't supposed to go that way. And he's like, no, it's cool. I talked to your granddaughter. I knew I know what went down.

And Benny's like, thanks. But by the way, I need some help in the cat skills. Are you around or can you come visit me or do you know anybody here? And Dean's like, no, I'm busy, but I'll come meet. We'll meet up as soon as I'm done. Right. I mean, yeah, well, I got you. I got you. I can tell you're having a tough time, friend. I will be there after I finish what I'm doing. And I got your back. Right.

Yeah, this is a very emotional reach out. This is like a friend's like struggling and like, I need you to come like be my friend and come get coffee with me. And it's so sad. And why are you watching this family in a park, Benny? It's weird. Don't do that. That's the... Yes, yes, that's supposed to be the struggle, I think. But I think he also misses Purgatory. He misses the fight, right? And...

I'm depressed. Yeah.

I know, I've, yeah, I was like, is he struggling with not eating people? At first it was my first time.

Well, there's something going on. Now he's got to figure it all out. There isn't a plan.

Yeah, even like at least like, yeah, you can't like, he has to like, you have to be good. And before you kind of got to be like your true self and you got to be the vampire that you are. Like, so I don't know. But don't eat the family and don't watch them in a park. It's weird.

And then he's like, Oh, I'm going to go to the bathroom. And then he's like, Oh, I'm going to go to

Yep. So Cas comes back and he's got his ingredients and he also has Sam.

Yes, he does. He does. And Sam's like, look, I'll get out of here as soon as we save Alfie. And we get a back and forth with it. We don't need him. Meh, meh, meh. And Cass finally tells him to both to stow your crap.

Yep. And so all three of them get in to pull up to the factory and Cass gives them the lay of the lamb and basically just. Yes, they made their bombs and so he's like, OK, basically, you know, like they're at like the northeast, southwest and you need to destroy these symbols. And then, like, he just draws a fucking star in Sam's hand. It is like not the symbols at all. He just drew a fucking star. I thought that was hilarious.

And he's got and they made the bombs. They had the ingredients. They made the bombs.

Yeah, and Sharpie.

Yeah, that's very weird. And so they go to remove these wards and kill the demons. Oh, yeah.

Oh, and Cass also gives Sam an angel blade and then tells him, so we've added this now to he's like, this kills demons too. So now we know like angel blades kill angels and demons.

Which makes sense, right? I mean, it does. So they gotta go wipe out the wards and kill a bunch of demons so that Cas can get in and save Alfie. That's the grand plan, courtesy of Castiel. So we see, we get a lot of cutting back and forth now. A lot. But the story that we're seeing is Sam and Dean killing demons and finding these sigils and Xing'em out with black spray paint.

There's four. And then poor Alfie slash some Andrea slash start getting more and more spikes screwed into his head and yelling, chanting different things in a Nokia. And basically we're finding out yells are echoing through the building when he screams between this. But what Crowley is learning is that there's a, you know, he's talking about the tablets. And so now Crowley is getting excited.

So the, I guess, Vigo's like, by the way, I think we're getting attacked because we have some bombs going off and there's some demons getting killed. But I guess they find out that there's another type of, there's a tablet about angels. So we've got the demon tablet we know about, now there's one about angels, right?

Yep. So now we've got angels out.

Yes. Which is the big, big news that Crowley is very excited about. And it takes a lot, a lot, a lot of work, but they get all the boards. Castiel gets in the factory and they break down the door to get to semandrial. And when they do, Crowley is already gone, of course, and Cass is able to get him out after unscrewing all the spikes from his head.

I like it.

Yeah. And while he's doing that and working on getting Alfie free though, Cas is also having these flashbacks. And so when he first like lands in the building, he's at half power and he just basically kind of curls up in the story, like in the corner and he is not doing good and he is flat. Like he is basically getting triggered by what is happening to Alfie and he is remembering the same things that is happening to Alfie happening to him.

Mmmm

Or similar things, yeah, but yeah, but it's Naomi doing it in an angelic looking clean room, right?

Well, Vigo wants to negotiate with Sam and Dean about, Oh, I can tell you everything I know. And Cass is still fighting through these flashbacks, but he manages to save or whatever, unscrew Alfie's brain and flap him out.

But Dean's like, nah, I don't need you Vigo. I'm going to kill you. I guess.

Yep. And outside, yeah, outside Alfie is this kid is like, I can't go home, right? Usually I said things I shouldn't have said and he starts telling Cass some shit.

I don't like this scene. Oh my God.

He's like, no.

Mm-hmm. And he's like, yeah, they're controlling us. And while this is going down, Castiel pops out to Naomi's office, and she's like, never mind. Thanks for saving him. Now you got to kill him. And Cass is like, what do you mean? And he's talking about, you control us. What did you do to me? Because he remembered those things, those flashbacks. She's like, nope, kill him. Bye. Poops.

And he does.

He does it. Oh no,

Pour one out for Alfie Stewart. Samantha. Yeah, it's very sad. And like this whole like, whatever the fuck Naomi cunt bitch is doing. Like this is all not good. It's not good. And Cass doesn't understand this either. She is just like, yeah.

Very sad.

I don't like it.

I don't like it. And she poofs him back. And she's like, you killed a traitor. Good job. He was broken. He told Crowley about things. Something that we need to die to protect. So you did a service. Poof back but don't tell anybody.

And she also tries convincing that he's a hero, right? And so it's weirdly, there's a lot of stuff we don't understand what's going on, right? Besides the fact clearly that she's a cunt. That's pretty obvious. But.

Ugh.

I'm sorry.

We know that something weird like what you know what Samantha Alffy Stewart was saying, you know, is, you know, we've got to be concerned about what's what is going on with heaven right what did what a cast leave up there right because we know like he done fucked shit up last you know so something is going on up there we don't know. But we just know that he is now back on earth and just vomiting whatever and I am you told him.

Yeah!

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and that's not good. So Sam and Dean run up and Castiel's like, oh no, Alfie must've been compromised. He tried to kill me, so I had to kill him.

And he cries blood, which is also disturbing.

Yes, that's weird. And he's like, oh, my vessel must have been damaged in the melee.

Nelly.

But that doesn't really make sense. Like we've never. I don't know. The crying blood is not good. So either way, he flaps out.

And he takes Alfie up to heaven and Naomi wants to do an angel topsy. I don't know what you would call it. An angel topsy. I guess that's it. Yeah.

Angel Topsy.

Yeah. Well, we've got back at the cabin, Sam and Dean are there and Sam is Sam. Oh, I said that Sam. Sam's painting like angel ward things everywhere because they want to have a conversation about cast without him hearing or showing up. And they're like, yeah, he's been off since he's been back from purgatory. Why on earth would he have fucking killed that other angel? I don't get this.

See ya'll, see ya'll.

And they both just basically agree that Castile is fucked up. Pretty much what happens there. So now Dean's like, all right, well, Sam, bye.

You're like what? So I was like what's going on? Like when did you all of a sudden like, now you're like Amelia, what the fuck man? I was like, I'm gonna be pissed. I'm like no, we've been fighting. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. And Dean's but. But I mean, but also Dean's not the one that brought Sam into this. He told he told Casanova and also he gets kind of point. He's like, look, I'm tired of fighting and maybe I'm a little bit jealous that maybe one of us could have like a happy normal life. So, yeah, if you want to go fucking go.

Yeah, no, I mean, trust me, like, I am relieved that he thinks this way. It's the way he should probably think. But yeah, but then he also says, you know, what's very important is like, but if this is kind of also what Amelia was saying, you know, you've got it. You're either in or you're out. And if you're don't have both your feet in, you want to die. Because when hunters are distracted, that's how you end up dead. So you got to be in or be out.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. So now he's had both Amelia and Dean tell him, you got to pick and you got to be all in on whatever you pick. Commit to your decision.

I'm mad.

Sam's going to go for a walk. Just reasonable. It's a big decision to make. And we cut back to Benny. Benny is drinking donor blood out of the cooler in the trunk in the bed of his pickup truck, and it's kind of a sad scene. And his phone rings and Dean's calling. And he's like, man, I'm in a really hard place. I really need you. And Dean's like, so about that, I'm not going to make it.

Like ever?

I'm breaking up with you.

This is the end of the line.

But he thanks him for the ride and Dean says goodbye.

Dirty!

He had to use those words, thanks for the ride. I mean, come on, like what in the window? I know, but he wrote them. So anyways, but yeah, so I, so many nos, so many nos. Yeah. And so Dean has broken Benny's heart. He was left in there like struggling and mean, you know, but we cut to if Matt back to the cabin and Dean watching boxing.

Well they talked about how he wrote in his arm.

So I wrote no again twice in one episode, two long nos in one episode.

Oh, sorry. This is like really put a song in my head, which actually ties into the title. That was it that to that torn song like that. Oh, we got it. Nothing done done. I'm a lot of pain. This is how I feel. Yes. And it's torn and right. And she left him sitting there. See, there you go. All right. Y'all are welcome for me singing part of that song poorly. All right. So we later that night.

Oh, Meredith Brooks torn. There you go.

Dean's watching TV. And Amelia's going to the motels. We've got two cross stories happening. Amelia opens the door to the motel and Sam is not there. He is at the cabin bringing beers and snacks to Dean.

Yikes.

Amelia, you, oh, ow, burn. Nothing worse than being the only one who shows up. But also, how do you not show up? I'd have to know. I would have to at least have put up a camera in the hotel because I need to know, I need.

Mmm.

to know if they showed up or not. Instead of just never, how would you never know, how would you handle never knowing?

How would you never not know? Like there's no way, like, I could get, like, also you wanna be the one, like, a bitch, I didn't show up. Fuck you, like, no, I said fuck you. Like, you know, like, my pride would never let this happen.

have to know.

And if you don't know if you both don't and then if you don't both don't show up you'd be like Motherfucker didn't show up even if I didn't show up. I still want to be mad

Exactly. Like, fuck you. Like, you have to know there's no there's no Schrodinger's box on this relationship. You have to know like, how can Sam like just like, not net like that's cold. That's fucking I think I think the whole thing is fucking cold.

No. Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it, but I was amused. Either way, it was well done.

What I do like is fuck you, man. Like I'm sorry. Fuck it. Emilia. You were fine Bye Felicia. I hate that relationship that storyline is stupid and needs to go the fuck away But bye

It's not. It's weird. The my military husband was killed in battle, but no way. Surprise. He wasn't. And then he's back. And now I'm going to pick him. I don't know. It's so fucking weird. So weird.

I don't understand it. It's awful and I hate it. I'm so glad it's over.

And she seemed fine. It was just the storyline sex balls. So there we go. Dan, whatever, Don.

She can go back to her husband and go enjoy that life. Dawn doesn't need to know that she went to that hotel and banged another dude. I don't know, like, she cheated on her husband. Like, none of this is... And she was going to, like... Yeah, you should not be in the late...

Yes.

But that's even is that worse? I don't know that's upsetting see that whole that whole thing upsets me too Yes, and tried to end and in theory tried to leave him

she would have left him.

What if she left him? What if she told him she was leaving before she went to the motel?

Look, if you don't want to be like clearly you don't want to be with him. Like to me, like, I don't know. I, I granted, you know, I am a single middle-aged lady because I have principle. Like I sleep with my principles instead of a man. So I don't know. Like, you know, at least she's, she will at least be getting Don's dick instead of no dick at all. But I would say if you were going to choose a different dick than Don's dick, you shouldn't, you don't need Don's dick. Like you shouldn't be with it. I.

Yeah!

You don't meet it with Don. Yeah, that's not fair to Don. That's not fair to Don's dick. Don's dick could go find another person.

I think Dawn's dick should find another person. Like wherever it should go. Like poor Dawn. Dawn's, Dawn has to be like, he was MIA for like so long, come back. Your wife is shacked up with another dude. Then she goes like, yeah, no, he's gotta be in a lot of therapy. Dawn, I hope like, I hope you're...

Yeah, poor Don. Don's probably traumatized. Are you kidding me?

Um, I don't think it's probably wise for him to be traveling for work right now either.

Yeah, I don't know what they're doing. Like you, they need to, you need to be home right now. Maybe not in Kermit, Texas, because in the 20 things or Kermit, Texas, like the things in that list was a liquor store. So y'all chamber commerce or Kermit, y'all need to step your shit up. I'm just telling you, like you shouldn't have a liquor store in the top 20 things to visit in your town. This is a really good liquor store.

No?

We never know.

Maybe it is. I'm sorry. I don't mean to throw. I would say I will go to her. I'm not going to go to West Texas. And that's like I have. And there's a reason. I love I love Martha and I know there is that there is a con coming up in April, but I think I may be in Baltimore. Nothing happens now.

There's really cool parts of West Texas where it's near.

For now.

Ah. Well.

Anyways, so do we have a couch?

We do, it's a brief one. So we have just our, a doctor dude, as I called him at the start, aka Vigo, is played by Vincent Gale. He's actually in multiple episodes of Supernatural as well. But you may have seen him in TV shows like MacGyver, 21 Jump Street, 4400, Fringe, Arrow. He was a reoccurring character named Gil in Bates Motel, Flesh in Van Helsing.

Okay.

Vigo, Vigo!

Robert and Snowpiercer and then, not most recently, but fairly recently, he played the character of Cottename Boss in the fall of the House of Usher, which I haven't watched yet, I really wanna watch. And then I thought one interesting side note, Mr. Hinkley was Tony Alcantar, that was the guy, our burn victim from the bush, the ambush.

the ambush.

He's actually typically a dialect coach. He's not, he's been in other things, but most of what his work in Hollywood, most of his credits are being a dialect coach.

Yeah.

He can learn me, he can learn me, oh my God, he can teach me how to do an Irish accent without sounding like I'm from Jamaica.

There you go. Yeah. There you go. So yeah, that's our casting catch.

Very cool. Yep. All right. So I think we already started getting into our feelings. But yeah, so clearly, bye, Amelia. Sorry, Dawn. I'm, you know, I mean, as much as I love I know you're sad for the departure, but

We did. We did.

It is also like, you know, like you can't be, you know, I mean, it's just, I'm thinking about this in my life right now. Like you can't be torn in that many directions and have, you know, things turned out well. Right. Or maybe you can, maybe just don't have, you know, need to learn where your priorities are. I don't know. Like I think you could have your boyfriend, Benny and your brother, Sam, but you have to.

Hmm.

I don't think you have to pick one. I don't think you have to pick between a dear friend and your brother. That seems odd.

or your boyfriend, you know, like it just, you know, like whatever relationship you're in, your brother should probably learn to like, you know, maybe try and accept him.

And maybe understand that you can't be as tight as you used to be because you're not like... No.

especially after he's been written by another dude. I mean, he's just not going to be as tight as he was.

All right. On that note, here we go. I was just saying that they, you know, maybe there are issues or reasons why someone would, you know, oppose their friendship or the relationship or whatever. But like, it just seems it just seems extreme.

Thanks for watching!

clearly like you think you think that you there in a relationship with a shitty person. And but I think the you doff to protest your hair doff protest too much Mr. Winchester. And I think that there are other feelings that are in here. I think there's a lot of guilt in here because Sam did not look for a dean for a year and said and went and got a dog and a girlfriend.

boundaries.

Yeah.

Which is perfectly fine, but clearly I think that's a lot of the reason for the Benny hatred is a lot of self hatred that he is projecting into that. Maybe.

Mm-hmm.

Poor Benny's and poor Benny's depressed all by himself.

And poor Benny is in between. Like this is not fair to Benny or Dawn. Maybe Benny and Dawn need to get together. They can go fishing, right? Like...

Oh.

They could, I feel like they would enjoy that.

They gonna sit on a boat with a beer. Yep, there you go. We solved it, we solved your problems, you're welcome. And someone has to take the dog. I don't feel like, I know Amelia is a vet, but I don't feel like she wants the dog. I'm very concerned about, where is the dog? Where is this? That's what I'm very concerned about. All right, anything else? Bye Felicia or bye Amelia.

Yeah, I think I feel like Don would end up with the dog. I think Don would end up with the dog. Yeah, where's the dog?

That's all I got. Cheers, bitch.

Cheers, Chuck.
