Welcome to this week's episode of Devil's Trap podcast. I'm Diana.
Bitch (:that I'm Liz.
Jerk (:And this week we're going to talk season eight, episode five, blood brother. I want to say brother, like.
Bitch (:like Hulk Hogan.
Jerk (:I didn't do a very good job. Yeah. BROTHER! Yeah. Oh well. I'm not good at that. I'm not good at that voice.
Bitch (:You sound like you have a hairball.
Bitch (:Yeah, yeah, maybe. Yeah, being heavy metal, like metal's not in your future. Sorry. I know that dream is going to be crushed, but you can still take the album cover photos and those are hot. So What what has been going on with you?
Jerk (:not.
Totally.
Jerk (:There we go.
Jerk (:Um, I, uh, feel like I had a very busy time. Oh, yeah, I've just been, um. Do a bunch of work stuff, but I got to go to a really cool Western swing show this weekend and the Bob Wills, Texas Playboys. And that was really cool because they are a legacy band. Obviously, Bob Wills is dead and has been for a very long time, but they are under the.
Bitch (:Hey, you do not know if Bob Wills may have been playing with his band.
Jerk (:I mean, he might have. I mean, this was this place was Bob Wills' ranch house originally. And there's three generations of his family in the building. So, I mean, who knows? He could he was he would have. Yeah, he would have been there. I have to look. I have a little one. Look for some orbs.
Bitch (:Exactly. If there was ever a time for haunting, did you record it? Like, is there a video of this? I want to go, I want to come through all the videos. We have to come through looking for to see if there's like orbs or like, ooh, or like maybe you can find some like EVB recordings like on like some like everybody did in the audio.
Jerk (:Mmm.
Jerk (:Maybe, I don't know, it's all the music, so we'll have to see. But yeah, so that was pretty cool. And in the venue, the Longhorn Ballroom got, which was Bob Will's Ranch House, is now in the National Historic Registry. That's big news, so that's exciting. They announced it at the show. So that was fun. Ran into some friends and had a nice time.
Bitch (:It's very exciting. It's a very, very exciting thing to happen.
Jerk (:listening to some music that like I'm not going to talk. I'm not going to go off on a tangent about Western swing, I promise. But it's one of those genres of music that you're reminded when you listen to it, just to like while it does sound old, it's also timeless. And that's a fascinating combination.
Bitch (:Noted.
Jerk (:That's my observation for the day. There you go. So how about you?
Bitch (:and played by ghosts. Uh, is it, so I spent part of the weekend at the first and possibly first annual Texas spirit gathering, which was an, a cult, not ecult, a cult's spiritualist, historical.
seancey, I don't know thing that happened this weekend that was led by Austin seance and had a bunch of speakers who were like super, super awesome, knowledgeable speakers. And it comes to the world of spiritualists. So that most of them were at Texas state, which did give me one of my degrees. So I'm just saying there's that, but no, there was a great time. There was lots of really interesting conversations. So like one of the conversations, uh, the lectures was on
Spiritualism and the Civil War and so we got to nerd out on that and we got to nerd out on the cases that inspired the exorcisms and dr. Laycock who we use a lot of his work in this show was there and he autographed my book and that was cool and There was this yeah, then we did some actual like hands-on things So, you know we did some psychometry work, which is you know trying to identify things with like objects but so like we had
Like they would take a bunch of different objects and put them in boxes and then pass it around the room. And then you would have to guess what's in the box, you know? And so, you know, but you would have to be like, okay, so this is like, this is what this object reminds me of, which I just think is bullshit. But I love the guys, but I mean, it's just like, so this is just so you can be like, yes, that was clearly like why this answer is like that answer. I know a lot of people.
Jerk (:Yeah.
Bitch (:I'm just a skeptic at heart. Because I'm like, why can't you just say this is the comb in the box? Like, why? I don't think that way. I don't want to feel like I think like I am thinking of spiny doodle bugs and then be like, that's a comb.
Jerk (:Yeah, yeah, that's hard.
Bitch (:So, but it was at the first spiritualist church at Austin, which just reopened. And it is really cool to have that kind of a piece of history that, you know.
Just to have that and just to be there was neat. And the Hyde Park neighborhood in Austin, like it's such a cute fucking neighborhood. And I hate them all for like being able to have those houses and you know, they, like, I was like, just for chits and giggles, let's just see if any, nope, still no houses within a five mile radius that are being sold here because that's Hyde Park in Austin. Cause fuck you Austin. Stupid. I know.
Jerk (:Yeah.
Jerk (:Yeah, real estate's a little bonkers there. Just a little bit.
Bitch (:I know. So it just like, it's one of those neighborhoods that you walk through and you're like, I love you. I want to be here. I can see myself in this cute, adorable little house and I'm like, I'm sitting here just walking to this restaurant. Gonna go have some like really good fries. I could just walk to you. Nope. Not for you. Nope. Only these fuckers. It's why do these, but just kidding. So I will go off my rant and the people who get to live in that neighborhood.
Jerk (:but no.
Jerk (:but no.
Bitch (:Asshole, this is good. I'm sure you're very lovely people. You had very nice fluffy dogs So a lot of fluffy dogs who are some good cats there too. So Yeah, it's a cute neighborhood recommend like go to Austin like go to other places besides just you know, the gross places. Yeah
Jerk (:Nice.
Jerk (:Sixth Street. Does anybody go there anymore even? I don't even know.
Bitch (:people's everybody's so close there and then i'm like you know people get shot there like all the time right what and then it'll be like this week on sixth street like a car drove through a bunch of people like yeah it's back on sixth street
Jerk (:Yeah, it's unfortunate for those bars and restaurants that have been there for a very long time. There's still a few, but most of them have changed.
Bitch (:No, I mean, but they are at the end of it and that's as far as I go. He go as far as flamingo everybody does that. So, all right, let's talk about this episode. Blood brother.
Jerk (:All right.
Bitch (:So this is season eight, episode five. It first aired on Halloween, October 31st, 2012. It was directed by Guy Norbin B, who we last saw in season seven, 22. There will be blood. So yeah, he's got a theme running and it was written by Ben Edlund and we last saw him in season seven, episode 21. Reading is fundamental.
Jerk (:Hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Jerk (:All right, and we kick off in Eagle Harbor, Washington. We do have a quick recap.
Bitch (:Well, before that, we do have a pretty extensive, previously in purgatory. And one of the things that's really noticeable in there is that while in purgatory, Castiel has a beard and yet Dean does not. And I think that's a very important question that everybody should ponder. In 2012, Zap2it and serious journalist, Karina Adley-McKenzie,
Jerk (:in a year.
Bitch (:actually asked Misha Collins and Jensen Ackles about this. And Misha said, well, it's because he's an angel and all of his badass angel powers were congregating into his hair follicles because of the intense pressure of the atmosphere in purgatory. And Jensen said, the answer I got from the writers was Dean has knives.
Jerk (:Huh. Okay. Well.
Bitch (:Yeah. So just some things to note about when you think when you're watching the, the opening entry opening. Yeah. Yep.
Jerk (:The purgatory and the flashbacks. Yeah. Well, in good old Eagle Harbor, Washington, we've got a guy walking on a dock at night and we realized that it's Benny and he greets Quinton and we get kind of a back story. We're starting a little backstory about Benny now and Benny, Quinton helped kill Benny when Benny was part of Quinton's posse.
Bitch (:So positive.
Jerk (:And they and they have the old man is their boss. But they refer to him. But Benny's got a big knife, but Quentin has some henchmen. We get a flash of fangs and then Quentin gets his head cut off and Benny turns to the henchmen to take them on next.
Bitch (:Also, like, Benny is very particular about the hat that he's wearing. So he like takes his hat off before, like, he gets in the fight, like, kind of like you would take your earrings off before you like throw down. So I think it was just like, you kind of know, like once like Benny's hat comes off, like, oh shit, he's about to throw hands, right? You should know that's about to happen.
Jerk (:I like that, yeah.
Jerk (:shit's going down.
Jerk (:Bye.
Bitch (:So we go from also that knife is there's sort of uncomfortable big knives in this episode, although I kind of like that knife. That's more of a machete.
Jerk (:It's like a short machete, though. But but I mean, short for a machete, but it's like still a large knife.
Bitch (:I was so much I so I was so saying to me today
Jerk (:Machete. So we cut to Enid, Oregon, where Sam and Dean enter and clear in the hotel room. And we get a little bit of info on them hunting. They're still trying to find Kevin. They're not really hunting him. They're trying to find Kevin. But apparently Kevin's outsmarted them because he's using credit cards in a clever way where everything's already burned before, like not burned, but like.
The info is already bad and just, you know, oh, I just didn't say it wasn't like on this. Talking about this show, I wanted to make clear there wasn't physically a fire. He could be. He could be. He could be. But.
Bitch (:Not burnt, yeah.
Bitch (:I mean, yeah, but you don't know, he could be physically lighting things on fire. I wouldn't rule it out. And Kevin is legit mad because Dean tried to kill his mom.
Jerk (:Yeah, that's reasonable. Dean doesn't seem to get that, but it's very reasonable. And then Dean gets a phone call and steps outside to take it very secretive-like, which I'm sure Sam doesn't notice at all.
Bitch (:I think so.
Yep, yep.
Bitch (:Cause he's cheating on it. Yeah. Cause it's very sauce. I mean, it was just like, I don't know. I can't get any bars. I gotta go outside. Uh-oh Sammy. Don't notice what I'm doing. I didn't like, there should be some like sneaky music as he goes outside. Like
Jerk (:Yeah, but it's Benny telling him that he is surrounded by a bloody mess and his legs don't work. He's going to crawl to a barge and needs a favor. So Dean goes in frantically packs. Sam is freaked out. He's like, what the fuck? We're on the trail of the prophet. Where are you going? And he's like, well, the trail's dead. The room's paid for. You got research to do. I got personal business. Deuces.
Bitch (:And I'll take the Toblerone. And you know, and Sam's kind of pissed off that like Dean won't tell him like what it is and that he's taking the Toblerone because that's just weird. But you know, Dean's also pointing out that Sammy took like a year off and he was like, can I just get a day? But we also know that you're not taking a personal day. It is just really weird that you're calling this a personal day. I don't understand. It's just a weird choice of, I don't understand this really.
Jerk (:And yeah, I guess you should.
Jerk (:Yeah, at that point.
Jerk (:No, it's all weird because you know, like what in what world we have developed these characters for seven fucking seasons. We're now in season eight. And there's not a scenario in that which this would be a believable situation. So I know, obviously, we all get Dean wants it to be a secret. He's friends with the vampire. OK, but like this is not a believable scenario in any way, shape or form. And why he would he's like, you know, yeah, I know Sam's not sharing about him taking his year off. Blue.
but like you're not sharing about purgatory either, okay? And now you're running off, like you're mad at him for taking a year off and you're just gonna fucking ditch him without a car? No, sorry sir.
Bitch (:Yep, but I also do appreciate that now Dean does have one of those friends that you just, you know, whatever your friend says, you just drop everything and go. And you know, it's important to have those friends in your life because sometimes you may be like, Hey, a ninja just stole all in my shea and I'm stuck in a bar in this country and I need you to come get me or fly me home. And you know, like that could happen.
Jerk (:Let me go help. Yeah, that's it.
Jerk (:happen. It could happen. Well...
Bitch (:Sometimes and keep and then just steal your shit when you're in another country. It just it happens to people sometimes it was saying so anyway, so Dean is driving and he's remembering fighting in purgatory and apparently
Jerk (:He's having extreme flashbacks while driving, which is also concerning.
Bitch (:It is conserving. Like I don't want to be on the road with any of the Winchesters and none of them seem like they're driving safe. I don't, I don't think their automobiles would pass inspection, but also Benny whistled while he thought, and that would be fucking annoying as shit.
Jerk (:now.
Jerk (:But it'll also be really intimidating to the enemy. So.
Bitch (:I did think there would be a tactical advantage because the dean would always know where he was so he wouldn't be accidentally cutting off Benny's head. I was like, that is a thing that you could do, but also stop fucking whistling.
Jerk (:where he was in the fight, yeah.
Jerk (:Yeah, that's true.
Jerk (:I thought it was kind of badass. Because it's so casual, that's why it's intimidating to your enemy. So Sam's in the motel.
Bitch (:Well, just the fact that you're like, you have an amount of breath control too, while you're fighting, because I would just be like,
Jerk (:Oh, that too. That's impressive. Well, I just can't even whistle very well. So I mean, I'm impressed in general. Terrible whistler. So Sam's going to keep researching Kevin. But instead of just looking at his credit applications and IDs, he's going to quote unquote, not stalk Amelia.
Bitch (:He's cyber-socking both Amelia and Kevin. Like, what he's doing is also weird. He's a very weird way of researching shit. Don't lick your browser windows. Whatever is happening here makes me uncomfortable.
Jerk (:Yes.
Jerk (:Yeah, it doesn't. It seemed odd. Didn't seem like the most organized approach. And then he hears a noise in the bathroom and it's the fan rattling, which gives him a flashback to fixing the AC at the motel where he was at with Amelia, where he met Amelia.
Bitch (:It's like a portal. The fans like a flashback portal that nobody ever wanted.
Jerk (:It's a stretch.
And basically, the long story short is he ended up becoming the accidental maintenance man at the motel that he was staying at because he became buddies with Everett, the kid at the counter, because Everett's dad did own the place and did the maintenance, but his dad was sick and they needed help around the place. So there we go.
Bitch (:Look, even drifters need careers. So now Sam fixes a motel AC in the current one. He is just like, yeah, I still got it. He's very proud of his ability to still be a handyman. Good for you, Sam Winchester. Good for you.
Jerk (:Yeah, he's very proud of himself.
Jerk (:Yeah. And Dean makes it to the harbor and finds Benny's truck where he searches it and is able to locate his cooler full of donor blood in a in a in the in the back. So he takes that and goes and finds Benny in the lower level. And I don't know what the fuck is on the barge. Yeah.
Bitch (:He's in the barge. He's in the barge. Like, I guess in a barge. Yeah, I guess really. Barges have like...
Jerk (:And he looks pretty bruff. But then we just cut immediately them being cleaned up and walking around on it, like barely injured.
Bitch (:After he feeds him, aww, Dean feeds his boyfriend, it's so cute. So Vinny showers and for some reason he also has a white shirt on, like why? You literally like drink blood all day. I would not own white. But anyways.
Jerk (:I don't know. It seems like a terrible idea.
Jerk (:So Benny's like, thanks Dean, shake hands, bye. And Dean's like, no, what's going on here? And so Benny's like, well, I've got my deal and you've got your family business. But Dean wants to know. So we get another flashback. And it's actually kind of an interesting one. This one's with Castiel. So it's.
Bitch (:Good question, good question.
Jerk (:And then they end up, they, they determine that it's just not strategically smart for an angel, a human and a monster to be traveling purgatory together. And then
Bitch (:because they're fighting over Dean.
Jerk (:Not only because the humans kind of a beacon, the angel is a super beacon for the bad guys. And on top of that, they don't even know for sure if an angel can pass through the door that Benny is taking Dean to.
Bitch (:And an angel, a human, and a vampire walk into a bar just is not the start of the best joke ever. So... That'd be...
Jerk (:Yeah. But I do like I like Benny's response. I do like Benny's response, though, because they're like, well, you know, talk about whether an angel can pass through the door versus if they only know humans can. And I like that Benny says, take away the fangs and the fun. I was I was born human to take with the fangs and the fun.
I'll actually say it like Benny, go ahead.
Bitch (:So, did we go back to the barge? And Benny explains why he's hunting his maker so he can kill him before he kills me. And then we're going back to the past and now we're back to Sam fixing an ice maker.
Jerk (:Ha!
Jerk (:Yeah.
Jerk (:Yeah, he is fixing an ice maker because he gets reminded by the ice cooler at the current motel. And I say he fixes the ice machine at the motel in back in Texas. And he gets sent to go fix the clogged sink in one of the hotel motel rooms, and it ends up it's Amelia's room. And she is pissed and starts berating him for being creepy and insults his clothes and his sideburns.
Bitch (:That being that, makes sense.
Jerk (:That's about it. And then we go back to Benny and Dean, who are going through all the things that was in Quentin and the henchmen's pockets, I guess. This is kind of unclear. They're just going through a pile of crap. I assume it's what was Quentin in the henchmen.
Bitch (:Yeah, I think they basically were like, okay, when the barge was, I don't know if the barge was theirs or not, but I feel like they took a bunch of stuff like from the people that they, that Benny executed.
Jerk (:Yeah. And basically they're like, it's they find a lot of information or Benny is filling in about what everything is and where they're at. And like, there's this list of yachts, there's launch times and destinations and the ones that have already been crossed off are ones that have been boarded, burned and buried at sea. So he's like, basically, we find out that these vampires had like a small fleet and they've he's circled the Americas 10 times.
They'd patrol the harbors, find a fat rich yacht that's going too far. And then they would, the ocean would just swallow it up for all anybody knew. And then Dean gets to say something amazing.
Bitch (:Mm-hmm. Because they're vampires and they're pirates.
Jerk (:So how does that make them?
Bitch (:than pirates.
Jerk (:Yes.
Vampirates. Benny is surprised they never thought of that. I'm disappointed. So.
Bitch (:There is a punk rock band named Vampirates who is out of, where are you guys out of? I know there's a book series that's out of England. Why is your page so slow? Vampirates.org.
Bitch (:Like yeah West Coast, oh Reno, Nevada. They are fast hardcore punk rock band from There's also a book series, but also I would like I would like to petition for more movies Please give me more Vampirates and not necessarily these am pirates, but you know
Jerk (:in general.
Jerk (:So they find a receipt and it says something about Prentice Island. So now they're like, well, shit, I guess we got to go to Prentice Island. And because that's where the old man will be. So they go driving and Dean is saying, hey, Benny, if you were your maker's favorite, why did he kill you? And
Benny goes on a kind of a tangent about not tangent. So many monologue, I guess, explaining about how you start. It is.
Bitch (:giving you the backstory of this like yeah didn't you know didn't you know like okay this is why like this is really Benny's life it was like look I fell in love with you know like I was his favorite
Jerk (:But the whole thing about like you, but you believe that your maker is like God and they act like God. And then I don't know that part's kind of weird.
Bitch (:They're very, very nasty vampires. And sometimes on the show they have very nasty vampires.
That's part of mythology. Yeah. But in this one, like your maker and that you saw this, like in the one that Dean was going to join, right? Where they have the poet, like the, the ones with the Twilight episode. Yeah. So, but basically, unfortunately, or fortunately he like found this Greek heiress who was on a yacht and then he boarded her ship. Like she was just like, Oh, vampire man. This is great. Not scary at all. Yes. I would love to fuck you. Vampire man. Be mine forever.
Jerk (:Mm-hmm.
Jerk (:Yeah.
Bitch (:And yeah, so and she is like, but I'm super I'm super rich. This is great. So they're in love and then the maker found them.
Jerk (:And I'm human. And she's human.
Jerk (:Yeah, after they had settled, they went and settled back in Louisiana. They were fucking chilling. And then the maker found them with Clinton. And it was a crime to leave the nest. So they beheaded Benny and tore out Andrea's throat or Andrea Andrea.
Bitch (:Andrea, I guess. Yeah. Well, that was the last thing Benny saw was old man tearing out her throat. Yeah.
Jerk (:Which is very sad. So they take a tiny boat to the, to Prentiss Island. And
Bitch (:And you have to think about this too. This is all happened right before he got to purgatory. So beyond like while Benny was mad in purgatory, like this is what Benny was mad about. Like this is why he wanted to come back. Like this is the B is for a bendetta. This was his bendetta. His bendetta. Yeah.
Jerk (:Yeah.
Jerk (:get revenge on killing for Andrea.
Jerk (:Bandera. Benny, Benny's bandera.
Bitch (:So they take a boat out, they find a they buy a buy it, they have a boat, they have a boat. And there seems to be really easy to steal a boat. I don't know. I've never tried to steal one. I just I feel like it would be easy. So they take a boat to this island and they've also brought bags of stuff.
Jerk (:And so...
Jerk (:Steal a boat, whatever. They take a boat.
Jerk (:weapons. And Dean actually pauses to text Sam he's like hunting ramps right nest on Princess Island dot not alone. But then he deletes it he doesn't actually send it. Because he's a dumb dumb. Go ahead.
Bitch (:Yep, yep. He's not ready to admit that he's cheating yet. He can't he can't say it
Jerk (:Oh, so they're they have like a moment where they're reminded of purgatory. And then Benny starts having an existential crisis. I don't even know if this world or if I am even real. Dean tells him not to get on this path to smart.
Bitch (:Yeah, Dean just shuts that down and been like, no, I've been down this path. We're not going with it. We're not, we're not playing this. I can't do this. We're not in the simulation.
Jerk (:Don't go, don't, I can't, I can't do it. I can't do that.
So they go to the giant fancy house that has a really cool harpsichord. And it and but Benny sees it and stops and then he sees a photo of a chick. Ah, shit. It's Andrea. We already know show hasn't told you that, but you know, when you see it.
Bitch (:harpsichord.
Bitch (:Yeah, her throat looks pretty not torn out. It wasn't like a picture of her being like, ah, it was.
Jerk (:They did. Yeah. This is a very current picture of Andrea. So, yeah. And then she comes down the stairs and luckily Dean's hidden, but Benny hasn't and they gaze at each other while henchmen are summoned. And then Benny gets bonked on the head.
Bitch (:These are definitely henchmen. And one of them is named Sorrento, so I just started calling him the Cheese Guy. So the Cheese Guy has been bettied to a chair.
Jerk (:Thanks for watching!
Jerk (:With handcuffs? Anyways, and then, nope, we get to confirm that this is Andrea. She's there and she was turned. And Dean's trying to creep around and Sam is blowing his phone up. But obviously Dean can't answer.
Bitch (:Whatever.
Jerk (:But back in the motel with Sam, he's still cyber stalking Amelia and then has a flashback. Back to, again, well, why she's confused while why he's fixing the sink. I don't know. It's. Weird.
Bitch (:She thinks like he's just stalking her, but she's also just not very bright. But I think there's like, and then we start to get to like this whole like, you're so, you're a creeper, but you're hot. And he's like, why'd you put all these limes in your disposal? How many margaritas are you making, bitch? Like, what's up with all the limes? Like, do you have scurvy? What's going on?
Jerk (:Right?
Jerk (:And she has another.
And she has a whole other bag of limes with her from the store. It's so I like, what is that about? Oh, is that a tie in? Is that a tie into the opposite of the pirates? Anyways, I don't know. But then Dean kind of, or I'm sorry, Sam kind of calls her out because she, he's like, yeah, I'm just helping out cause Everett's dad's sick. And she's lived there for three months and she was like, I don't know who Everett is. I don't know what you're talking about. So like, yeah, she's anyways. So she, and he's trying to, she calling.
Bitch (:it
Maybe, maybe.
Jerk (:Sam a drifter, but he's kind of calls her out for not really moving into town either.
and see you.
Bitch (:So Dean calls Sam back and he's like, I'm in a vamp's nest with a guy, but you don't know him.
Jerk (:It's a friend. It's not Garth, but it's a friend. And Sam's friends. And immediately my head goes, Oh, your friends are dead. Oh, my friends are dead. Sorry. Turbo Negro. I know. Yes. Oh, man. All right. So Andrea has a henchman telling the old man that Benny's there. And, uh,
Bitch (:All your friends are dead!
Bitch (:Yes. Oh, yep. It's like a kick in the head. It is like a kick in the head. All your friends are dead.
Jerk (:And that's the only person she answers to and slaps Benny. But then she sends everybody away. So now it's just her and Benny. Uh, and she's like, Oh, I'm going to kiss you. And this is how it was turned. And he's like, I'm so sorry. And she's like, no, uh, don't be sorry. Why did you, why did you stay with all these people though? And they're like, well, it's so complicated when you first get turned.
And here's a knife so you can kill the old man because I can't do it. And he's like, Oh yeah. He's like, I'm going to burn the whole operation to the ground. And she's like, yeah, then we can be together kind of. But then the hedgeman come back.
Bitch (:Yeah.
Bitch (:Well, and he's starting to also come to like, you know, I had a plan. My whole plan was I was coming back. I'm burning all this shit to the ground. It's gross. Y'all keep killing people. This is, it's not a good thing you're doing and you're here. This is now super, super complicated.
Bitch (:And then Cheese Dude comes back and then Serenade the Cheese Guy wants as the old man wants Benny.
Jerk (:So.
Jerk (:There's another joke in there about food somewhere and I can't get to it. So I'm just gonna leave it alone. Anyways, so Dean has Sam on speakerphone, which seems like a terrible idea but
Bitch (:We're trying to be stealthy. Can you not yell at the vampires? What? Dean, what?
Jerk (:Yeah.
Jerk (:But Sam's not gonna come he's gonna he's coming he's on his way and Then Dean uses his phone as bait to decapitated vampire. It's pretty smart actually
but his phone gets broken in the process, which sucks.
Bitch (:Yeah, so then we're upstairs with the new daddy who's all of Vingy's like vampire friend dudes are like really nice like dressed well zaddies and he is just yeah the old man is just a super hot dude. No.
Jerk (:The old man. It was not old for the record, but his lipstick was a little much.
Bitch (:Yeah.
Jerk (:I'm saying that stood out to me in the first scene. I was like, whoa.
Bitch (:My TV is not as big as yours, so anyways.
Jerk (:But he wants to understand how Betty could possibly be back from hell. And he's kind of like, well, I was just next door to that. But as all man's like, well, where was that? And Betty's like, I'll just show you. Oh, pretty hard.
Bitch (:And Zaddy also does what it means to know that he was very sad and he wailed like the ugliest baby in the world. And then Cheese Guy was like, well, yeah, that's why he made his cow that way because she meant everything to him. And then ramps, vamps are running down a hallway, they get decapitated, and then we have to go back to purgatory. Why are we back in purgatory?
Jerk (:It's so weird.
Jerk (:Another flashlight. Because we've got to discuss the value of life. So this is actually, I think, a critical one, even though we've discussed the exhaustion with the flashbacks. But this is critical because this is a big development of Benny, in a way.
Castiel is talking about like statistically humans kill more humans than vampires kill. Arguably true. And because Dean's like, yeah, I'm going to bring Benny back. But what the fuck are you going to do in the real world? You're going to be a monster and start killing people again. And he's like, no, I was already on donor blood before I got killed. It's a spot on the black market because I saw something in humanity and I drink blood. I don't not people. So it's like.
Bitch (:So I don't eat people, I'm fine. And then I don't know what my notes mean here because I have them, they snap more. So hopefully they were snapping as they're walking through the words like they were the jets. That is just all I'm hoping happening.
Jerk (:like
Jerk (:Well, they agree. But Cass and Cassie and Benny agree that they're in a terrible position where they're at because Cassiel is glowing like a beacon.
Bitch (:Oh, they snap at each other more. That's what I meant. They were bickering like little bitches. Okay, so they bicker more like little bitches, but Leviathans are here.
Jerk (:Yeah, because apparently Leviathan's are tracking Cassiel and Cassiel can't blip out when they're super close or something. I don't know. So they try to run. So back at the motel, Sam steals a car and is driving. And while he's driving, he has another flashback.
Bitch (:to be on the road with these people pay attention to the road but okay so dog
Jerk (:Yeah, his dog, his name dog runs into the quote unquote angry lady's room, which is Amelia, the veterinarian, and sits in her lap and, uh, she's like, is he taking his antibiotics? And he's like, she's in his, like, of course he's like, I've seen a lot of stitches and you have a really good hand, which is a really weird thing to say.
Bitch (:What the fuck is that? Yeah, no, get the fuck out of my house. Don't compliment me. No, nobody wants to like the only the only time the only time. Hey, Dr. Surgeon to another Dr. Surgeon. I've seen a lot of stitches in my time and this work that you did on this thing that we are doing a project on together this person. Those were very nice stitches.
Jerk (:Yeah, that's not reassuring. How many? Why have you seen so many stitches, sir? Why?
Jerk (:Yeah.
Bitch (:You walk into a lady's house and say, I like stitches. Your stitches are nice.
Jerk (:I've seen a lot of stitches in my day and you have a steady hand. No.
Bitch (:But then she's also like hot. Like I just see her brain like justifying all of this shit because Jared Petolecki. She's just like, he's fine.
Jerk (:Well, he's well, he's like, he's like straight up. Do you really think he's like, do you think I'm creepy? And she's like, it's creepy that you buy your clothes at Army Navy.
Bitch (:Navy's yeah, I can get that like he but honestly like his clothes are clean Like he doesn't look like a meth addict like you know, like okay, so But then he just invades her space is just like so do you mind? Do you think I'm a drifter and she's just like I'm hot you're hot. I'm lonely. That is really what happens here
Jerk (:Yeah.
Jerk (:Well, they agree they both, she doesn't know where she's going either. She doesn't have anybody and he can relate to that. And they both used to, but that's over and gone. Back to the present and Dean's not answering his phone.
Bitch (:Yeah, and so Zaddy is monologuing and within his mansion there is a stained glass window and it has a Latin phrase, demortuous at bene, at nile, miha, I don't know, I don't speak fucking Latin, but that translates to, oh crap, I like wrote over what that translates to, it really means, uh, don't speak ill of the dead, right? So.
Jerk (:I was like...
Bitch (:And that can go, it can go into a lot of things like, you know, um,
Jerk (:Interesting. Yeah, so they're undead or if they are vampires dead or whatever. Yeah
Bitch (:Right. But it's, you know, there's the famous line of it was, you know, buddy Davis, where she's like, what you shouldn't speak, speak ill, the dad, John Crawford's dad. Good. You know, so that is apparently though, it's called a mortuary aphorism. And that means he was a statement about death. And, but also it was just a fun Latin phrase. So I thought I would just quiz Diana about fun Latin phrases and see what she can figure out again.
I don't speak Latin. I don't know how to say this fucking shit. So let's see how this goes. All right, but the first one, and I'm giving you multiple choice too. And I'm even, I'm wearing this on my shirt, which I don't think you can see unless I like hide my tits all the way. So the first one is kind of a given though, just to get you, just to get the juices flowing, not the death juices, but whatever. All right, so number one, memento mori. Now does that mean a,
Jerk (:All the way back.
Jerk (:Yeah.
Bitch (:Remember Mori B. More Mentos C. Remember that you will die or D. Remember where you parked. It is that is remember that you will die and it is one of my favorite phrases because I am that goth. Okay, so question number two, I guess phrase number two.
Jerk (:See, remember that you'll die.
Bitch (:And this A-N- So does that mean animals agree? B, one foot in the grave. C, your spirit will fly. Or D, to have one's last breath.
Jerk (:I am gonna go with D.
Bitch (:It is by saying this you recognize that you know one day you're gonna have your last breath or that you will one day die So so nice Okay Your next one and also I got these from place i'll link in the show notes But it was just a random place that somebody put together weird latin phrases about death. So thank you Your third phrase moore's me he lucrum My high lucrum. I don't know moore's mrs
Myhi and Lucrum. Does that mean A. More mini goats? B. Someone is walking over my grave? C. Death to me is the reward? Or D. One foot in the grave?
Jerk (:being.
Bitch (:No, unfortunately this one, this C, death to me is reward and that is what also super dark goth people that think death is cool or people who like death can be released from pain and suffering, you know. Phrase number four. Mors vincit omnia. Does that mean A, Mors Vinnie Jones? B, death conquers all? C, another one bites the dust?
D. Dead in the water.
Jerk (:be.
Bitch (:It is, it is. And that, you know, basically means that nothing can stand in the face of death. It is inevitable and unavoidable. Your fifth phrase, moritui, te, no sorry, moritui, te, salutat.
Does that mean A, Maury is salty, B, morbid obesity, C, to those about to die, we salute you or D, to those about to rock, we salute you? It is C. And you know, so that's a thank you for your service type thing, which I know I butchered the way that said and people are dying right now. It's fun. I appreciate your screams. The sixth phrase.
Jerk (:See.
Bitch (:Butnika, butnikare. So, B-U-T-N-E-C-A. B-U-T-N-E-C-A-R-E. Does that mean A, butt naked people get bug bit? Does that mean, or is it B, put up or shut up? C, either kill or be killed? Or D, come to a sticky end.
Jerk (:See.
Bitch (:That is the to see your crest, your, your crushing list, your Latin babe.
Jerk (:Sure.
Bitch (:All right, here we go. Flutere se nequio superos. Atcherontaruvabo. I think I have summoned a demon. Okay. So flutera that's F-L-E-C-T-E-R-E-C like S-I, but not Latin, not Spanish. Uh, nequio? N-E-Q-U-E-O. Nequio?
Jerk (:That's a long one. I think so.
Bitch (:superos at your Ronta a ch a ch I just have a letter a ch e r o n ta movable mo be bo alright, so does that mean a flock of human as rules? Be we gladly feast and those who would subdue us See in the midst of chaos. There is also opportunity
or D, if I cannot move heaven, I will raise hell.
Jerk (:B.
Bitch (:No B is actually the Addams Family motto.
Jerk (:I knew I knew it.
Bitch (:D is the correct answer. If I cannot move heaven, I will raise hell. And that does sound bad ass. Uh, we gladly feed some those. Oh shit. And I, so if sometimes I get pet is that's also kind of junk Latin from what I understand, but still, it's okay. Well, two more. Right. We're two way vivos doset. Does that mean a, do you have any decent one? B, give them enough rope.
Jerk (:It does.
Bitch (:C, death becomes her, or D, the dead teach the living.
Jerk (:See you next time.
Bitch (:It is and that would be awesome. Please let ghosts like teach my history class, or it could be a Bill and Ted situation, I would also appreciate that. I just need to be cool to have the dead teach me stuff. And your final question. Hody, me, he crass to be so spoken, so much better. So H O D I was Hody. Me, he, my, he was M I H I.
Jerk (:That would be cool.
Bitch (:Crass, C-R-S, Tibby, T-I-B-I. Does that mean A, death is better than crabs? B, they look better dead? C, today it's me, tomorrow will be you? Or D, kill them with kindness? It does mean C, today it's me, tomorrow will be you. Which is really supposed to be like, a thing for like, you're supposed to think about you.
Jerk (:See.
Jerk (:Free Hardcore too.
Bitch (:look back and think on things. They're all so fuck off to where else it's gonna be you motherfucker. So yeah, those are all things I wouldn't mind, you know, on shirts. So for the most part. Anyways, good job. You could be in a Latin school. I don't know what you could do with that.
Jerk (:Yeah, that's how I took it.
Jerk (:Yeah.
Jerk (:Yay.
Jerk (:Sure. Nothing. But I made, I made, I only missed two, so I'll take it. With no preparation.
Bitch (:Yeah, it was so good grades. There's your like, yes. Didn't even like prep on your Latin verbs. There's a B, it's passing.
Jerk (:B.
Jerk (:Ah, I count. So.
Bitch (:Alright, so we're going back to Benny and Zaddy.
Jerk (:Yeah, old man's daddy. And basically, Benny gets informed that coming back from the dead is mutiny. I just find funny. I'm sorry. I don't know why.
Bitch (:Isn't that a thing? Like, I've never actually made it through the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I keep trying and I can't. But... But isn't that kind of the point? Like, they come back from the dead, right? So are they all committing mutiny? Yeah.
Jerk (:Oh, I mean, I've seen the first one. I remember I've watched all the sequels in their entirety, so I have no idea. I just think it's funny. I don't know. I'm just deeply amused. He's like, well, because I murdered you and I didn't think you'd come back from the dead ever, but since you did, now it's mutiny. I don't know. I just think it's hysterical that an un that what was believed to be an impossible thing is now mutiny. Anyways, and Benny just starts calling him out. He's like, you have so little.
You just got your stupid harpsichord and a nest of hyenas. And now daddy's like, I am I have the sea and I have Andrea. But he's like, no, you don't have her. Sorry. And Henshpink goes, that dumb bitch. It's just really funny to me. Yeah, they didn't like each other. It was like, oh, and he's like, that dumb bitch.
Bitch (:So Rento had an in for Andrea. Like he did not, he was like, I was.
Jerk (:Fuck, Therando.
Bitch (:Well you know, like in Sorrento's world, like, Wissigna's like, Yeah, Benny's gonna die, I'm gonna be number... What the fuck?! Like, she just got here! Who the fuck is this Andrea chick?! Like, I was... What, Zaddy?! Come on, look at me, Zaddy!
Jerk (:Well, so Zarento is going to try to kill Benny, but Benny's a badass from all his practicing in purgatory and he quickly bans him. So, and our zaddy old man is like, oh yeah, I've just been around too long, you're right. You know, and this universe, this universe is a pyramid of despair.
Bitch (:He's just not gonna fight in order to-
Bitch (:Yeah, yes, and he go dark and evil. Oh man, like you fucked Byron. I know you did and but he decides to like
Jerk (:And then...
and then they're gonna pontificate about evil.
Bitch (:a hemo analogs a bit but then basically it's just like I'm gonna go limp that is gonna be my fighting technique I'm just gonna lie here and then you're just gonna have to kill me I'm not gonna fight you doesn't that make you feel bad and I don't think Benny cares
Jerk (:No, he's like, I can show you a whole new world, meaning purgatory, which is funny. Oh, and now we've got Andrea. And Benny approaches, obviously, our old man's daddy is dead. And Benny's like, all right, let's go.
Bitch (:A whole new...
Bitch (:with a knife, which is an uncomfortable thing to be had someone with. I don't like it.
Jerk (:Oh, yeah, it seems really comfortable. Amazing, right?
Bitch (:And then he puts it on the harpsichord and look, I fucking hate the harpsichord. I think it is like one of the worst musical instruments that was ever made. At the same time, that was like a very expensive antique. Don't put the bloody knife in the harpsichord. What the harpsichord do to you? Harpsichord didn't do anything. But it would now could be history's harpsichord. Somebody made that.
Jerk (:Well, no, but it was symbolic because it was a bloody knife. Because it was stupid, Zaddy's. It was that is stupid harpsichord.
Jerk (:I guess. I guess, well.
Bitch (:Daddy didn't make it anyways. All right, so, but Andrea just wants to stay living that vampire life.
Jerk (:She's like no, we got a good gig here. Let's keep doing this shit. We can just run it now. I'll just operate it Let's do this The let's do it. We have the life we wanted and Benny's like no, this isn't what I fucking want now And he's like I'm gonna leave a burning crater behind me bitch
Bitch (:We are making money! Isn't that what you want to do?
Bitch (:I had a plan. I had a plan. I was coming back and I was gonna do my whole like lemonade shit You know like I was just gonna like light shit on fire behind me and like have the flames go in He was like I had my out. I brought a hat I put this hat on so I looked extra cool as I was walking away for the and now what bitch you want to like Now you just want to like sit here and be a vampire right that was not in the Benny plan
Jerk (:Yep.
Jerk (:Yep. Yeah. All the things.
Jerk (:No, no more vampire see for me, ma'am. No more. And she was like, but it's still me. And he's like, no, it's not. You're a monster. And so she gets fangy and Dean stabs her and beheads her. What?
Bitch (:Yeah, and she becomes a whole lot less attractive, like when she was just like, fine, I'm just gonna open it on into my jaw, look at all my teeth. And then Dean's just like, you can't have my boyfriend. He's my
Jerk (:Yeah, they're fang-zoned.
Jerk (:Well, now Dean and Benny, we see them pushing their boat into the water. And Benny is like. Why did you resurrect me? And he's like, you could have just, you know, bring my soul anywhere and whatever, you know, because he as he as he keeps having his existential crisis. And we get another flashback of them running through the woods.
Bitch (:Just let me die, Dean!
Bitch (:Yeah, well, indeed, this is also just concerned. He's like, you good, man? Like, what the fuck? Oh, you're about to crack. Like, oh, like I, you're like, I have experience with like dudes who are about to crack. And I can see this coming. Like, oh man, is this me? Is the pattern just Winchester?
Jerk (:Yeah, you pull it together.
Jerk (:right?
Jerk (:I don't have time for this. I got to find a profit. I got a profit to find. I don't have time for this shit. Pull it together. But anyway, so our next little flashback is Benny Dean and Cass running through the woods with Leviathan's landing around. But they're like, it's weird. These blobs land on the ground and they turn into humanoid things. What is that? Where is this coming from?
Bitch (:They're like Leviathan bombs. But also, I think it's maybe in Purgatory that you know how they bleed black goo. So maybe they can fly in the black goo while they're in Purgatory, and they're like, gah-dew, and they're like little sticky balls that you throw at the walls.
Jerk (:I don't know.
Jerk (:I don't know.
Jerk (:They're like, you it's goo balls and suddenly they add goo. It's a black goo ball. And suddenly it's a person. That's very weird. But why are they a person at all? Why do they have a humanoid shape at all? When the biathans weren't humanoid at all, they only became humanoid when they were on Earth and taking over people's bodies. I'm just saying I'm very confused by this.
Bitch (:They decided they'd like to be people. I don't, I don't know. There's a lot of things that don't make sense about purgatory. And so they fight, yep. Vinny says castle Leviathan. So now they're fine. Sure. Okay.
Jerk (:I guess, I don't know. Well.
Benny saved, Benny saves cast though.
Jerk (:Did it?
Jerk (:And then when back in current, I don't know, whatever, when Benny and Dean get back to shore Sam is waiting for them at the dock and Benny introduces himself and shakes his hand and Sam's about to kill him and Dean just like gently shakes his head from behind. So Benny's like, I'll leave you to talk. And they get Sam staring down as Benny walks away.
Bitch (:No, bitch face. That is not Sam staring down. That is actual canon bitch face. Like it is actually documented on the Supernatural Wiki as Sam's bitch face because along with his stupid hair in this episode, there's also like his, his bitch face.
Jerk (:Okay, I learned something today.
Bitch (:Alright, so we can come back and we'll discuss Sam's bitch face after casting couch.
Jerk (:All right. So we've got first we'll talk about Andrea Cormos played by Athena Carcanis. She actually as you see, she's actually been in episodes of things like Chappelle show and a couple episodes of suits. She was Agent Perez in Saw four and six. She was one of the victims in repo a genetic opera.
A tomboy in survival of the dead, the Romero movie, Abigail in the zoo, Abigail in the TV series, The Zoo. Melody Cruz in series House of Cards, Grace in series Manifest, and then she's actually done a ton of cartoon and video game voiceovers, as well as a bunch of Canadian shows that I would.
Our old man, AKA Zaddy, was played by Patrick Stafford. He's been in episodes of shows like Modern Family, CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Glee, and Frequency. Everett, who I saw a couple times, the kiddo that worked at the motel, was played by Harrison McDonald. He's been in episodes of shows like Fringe, Bates Motel, Supergirl, Charmed, The Flash.
movies. He was a pilot in the:Quinton, who we just saw at the beginning, was played by Clinton James. There have been episodes of shows like Fringe, Arrow, Zoo, Stumptown, Superman and Lois, Dunn is sheriff of Hallmark movies himself, and is currently in the series, So Help Me Todd as Chuck. And then Sorrento, our henchman, was played by Luke Roderick. I say it like that because it was Luke spelled L-U-C.
Jerk (:He is was a bomb tracker in the 2014 Godzilla. He was in episodes of shows like Flash, Zombie, and he's been in an episode of Supernatural before. And then he was Bryce in the series, The Crossing, a reoccurring character, Ian in the series, Siren, and he's a reoccurring character in the,
TV shows, it's like it's on Apple TV called CSEE with Jason Momoa.
There we go. See ya. Ah.
Bitch (:Alright, so Sam's Bitch Face and just, I don't know. So I know like you are liking Benny.
Jerk (:What? I don't know what you're talking about.
Jerk (:Wait, I like burly men and vampires. I don't know what you're talking about. Just saying. Like, oh, hi, Benny. Go ahead. Yeah. So bitch face. No. So, yeah. So I literally texted you because I've been watching this show long enough by now, even though I haven't seen the whole series, obviously. But I've watched enough to go like I like Benny and I shouldn't like Benny. Something's going to happen. Right. And you're just like, yeah, pretty much. So it's not exactly how we're different.
Bitch (:Fair, fair, fair.
Bitch (:No, I'm like, I this is a spoiler free show. This is I'm not telling you shit. You have to know like, but I'm also like, it's supernatural. Like, what the fuck? I don't know.
Jerk (:No, you didn't. You just laughed at me. But still.
Jerk (:Don't ask. Don't ask these questions. Don't like people. They're going to die. That's supernatural. You didn't say that, but I know this.
Bitch (:Also, like, you know, people die, they don't necessarily stay dead.
Jerk (:That's that's very true as well. So I don't know either way or he's going to be bad. And that would be upsetting. That's all I know. So I like Benny. That's my that's my hot take. I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying some Benny. Makes me do a little shoulder shimmy. I'm like, all right, Benny, let's go.
Bitch (:yep we've got some bro drama okay that's good see and i really i am about to i'm going fucking insane from benny and the juts being stuck in my head all the time i'm just they also have a new demon named benny so like that's not helping so anyways all right i think that i mean yeah it's
Jerk (:Hehehe
Jerk (:You too.
Bitch (:beginning of the season still and we're still developing stuff, I think.
Jerk (:Yeah. I mean, I don't think we have clarity on what the big bad at all. We know we were chasing down still Kevin. That's still the backstory that's still consistently following. Most of this so far is really laying out what happened the year before I feel like. And, um, I thought that's fine. I'm, I'm burned on, on flashbacks, but we know these two motherfuckers can't sit and have a conversation. So we're not going to get the backstory that way.
Bitch (:Yeah, yeah, just sitting down and being like, this is what happened last year. It'd be too hard to ask for. Anyways. All right, and there's nothing else. I think we're gonna end there. All right, cheers, jerk.
Jerk (:Yeah. So yeah, there we go.
Jerk (:Cheers, bitch.
