Talking SPN Season 7 Episode 21 Reading Is Fundamental. Liz wants to pull Cas' finger. Diana is very concerned for Kevin Tran. Kevin the Dog is very concerned why his name keeps getting said.

Welcome to this week's episode of Devil's Trap Podcast. I'm Diana.

I'm Liz.

And this week we're going to talk about season seven, episode 21. So close to the end of the season. Reading is fundamental.

Yep, we are close, however there are 23 episodes this season. So we still have two more to go of, I don't know, maybe Leviathans will end. Maybe they won't. I don't know how these things end.

Yeah.

You do, I don't. That's the difference.

Oh, wait, okay. Well, I can't say how they end or then I'll be spoiling it and this is spoiler free, I think.

I know. Sure. What have you been up to?

Uh, so the other night I was driving through my neighborhood and well, like not my neighborhood, like GPS, like got, and you know, was haunted and like took me a weird way back from things and ended up in this neighborhood and these people had for Christmas decorations, like this giant.

rooster Santa, which that I immediately like almost hit a trash can because I was like sliding off the road being like what the fuck there's a giant rooster Santa and like taking pictures and then of course babe went and tracked down like he found where the giant rooster Santa came from. And that was tractor supply. Who knew?

Yeah, it's amazing.

Mm-hmm. Who knew? Tractor supply for Christmas decorations, who knew?

Well, there is this entire line of, it starts with a G, but like they are a specific, I tried to find out like where their stuff is manufactured, I'm guessing like China or something, cause I couldn't find it on their website, but they are specifically, the company that does them started with the Billy Bass. They, that, yeah, so that company, so they went from making,

Yeah.

Okay, that company that tracks that tracks. But is it big wasn't big mouth Billy Bass is that

Big Mouth Billy Bass. Yeah. So they went from that into doing inflatables and other just rando things. So they have the inflatables. They had the rooster, the silky chicken, which is amazing. Uh, what else did they have? They had an opaka. Oh, the Rock Hat cows with udders with their utter bags and Santa.

There were rocket line kicking cows. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. Yes. And Santa. Cows. Santa with them. Yeah, line kicking.

So they weren't just like rock-head, like there was like a round Santa. And then, uh, they also then had like things that weren't inflatables, including a goat, which I can't find. And then also a twerking pig. And I was dry. I was on Texas road back roads for many, a long time this weekend and whatever back roads have been Texas, but tractor supplies. So.

Hmm

I stopped at one and I walked in and like there was barely any Christmas things out anymore. I'm like, what the fuck? Like it's like to see y'all shove this shit down her face and like August and then now it's not even here. And like, and I was like, so I'm walking around to speed. I can't like there's barely Christmas. I'm just like, man, I'm gonna ask. And like, it was like, I want to just like, do you not ask you because like, so I finally had to walk into someone was like, can I help you? And I'm like,

Yeah, going.

you have the twerking pig. Yeah, you know, like so, yeah. And she's like, thankfully, like, so she's like, yeah, somebody like had come by earlier looking for one. And so they had she had taken gone and gotten them out of the back. So apparently they'd already put them away. Like, why would you put the twerking pig away?

Like you're doing a deal. I need a little twerking pig over here.

And someone returned one? Oh, okay.

No, like they just like, we're done. Like we're done with the pig. Like no more twerking. Like Christmas is over. No more twerking pigs, but it is quite spectacular. And the bite kind of moves and like its own. I don't know. Like each cheek is each she can clap her. Like she doesn't clap. Like I wish the cheeks clapped, but they, yeah, they, they do. She can do the individual cheek thing, which.

Lame.

but cheeks are separate.

but she can bounce them.

I wonder if there is a name for that in twerking. Let me know. Like I would like to know what the name for.

I would not, I don't want to know. I'm sure, sure.

If there's a name for it, like it's a dance move, right? And that there's a muscle, there is a major muscle control. If you're making one cheek move, not the other, like that's a talent that, that takes some practice. I isolate a butt isolation, man. That's a, it's a thing. That's what I did. I bought, I bought a twerking pig. And I also, though, I didn't see like the rooster or the chicken until I was walking out. And the rooster was like 150 bucks or something stupid. And, but the chicken was like $60.

isolations. Maybe. That's exciting.

Silky chicken? Damn.

And I was like, man, see like a hunt over a hundred way. No, but like 60.

That's nothing. That's a nice meal. It's fine.

I don't know. So I don't know the chicken of only mine to put on Diana's lawn. Like I probably won't even tell. Like I will probably just fly to Dallas, put the chicken on the lawn and leave and just not tell her.

I'll be like, it's a Christmas miracle!

So I don't know, the silky chicken. Well, it is the only thing for the Cox House. They even need the rooster, I mean.

Santa Cox.

That's why I got excited. I was like Dave Dave. Oh my god. It would be gone. That would not last. Are you kidding me?

I can just imagine that rooster in Oak Cliff.

I'm doing it shy.

I don't know. I think it might just get taken. That one, you got to hook up a car battery to touch it and get zapped. Oh, I survived. I survived a very busy work week. So in a good way, though, and my work week was full of live music, as it frequently is when it's a busy one like that. So I had some really fun shows and.

Oh, and what about you?

Uh, just a lot of hours, a lot of, a lot of, got a lot of steps in over a few days, but, um, you know, there's a, I was not wearing sparkly tennis shoes. You did find some amazing ones. I, uh, did not, I learned that people that actually, well, I mean, this is obvious. That sounds stupid. I observed, how about that, uh, people that actually live in the country and listen to country music.

Were you wearing sparkly tennis shoes?

They dress nice to go to a show, but they don't go like full, like alt country goth cowgirl sparkly shit. They don't.

No, country folks tend to not do that. No, they don't.

Well, and it's easy to forget because I'm a little bit sparkly and I live in the city. So I was a little more subdued and a little more urban cowgirl. So I was a little more subdued, which means that I was wearing somewhat more comfortable footwear though than sometimes. But yeah, so now I am. It was really cool. We had a really nice there's a really there's a country artist out of Canada. That's part of came from was his name is Colter Wall that I got to.

You could be an urban cowgirl.

work on some shows with and we hosted a really big dinner and it was really cool. But the best and we got to see the old 97s who are an amazing, amazing alt country band from that have been around. This was like their 30th anniversary. It was really fun. They they're one of those bands that I've seen many times, but it's been a minute. And it was reminded how just fucking good they are. It was just cool. But one of the meals I got to have as part of a big catered meal was this folks that I know that have a farm out in Rockwell, Texas, called Tate Farms.

They did the catering and they built a Tex-Mex charcuterie board. I'm not I don't want to put down their amazing like their farm raised beef chili Frito pie or their brisket. But it was a shark. No, that was separate. Yeah, Frito pie. It was good. But I mean, it was their beef. So it was excellent, you know, but like and then their brisket was to die for. Didn't need a drop of sauce. And I'm a sauce person, so that says a lot. The fucking Tex-Mex charcuterie board.

That sounds wonderful. I'm sure that's fine, whatever. Well, wait, that was like a Frito pie. Like also, like was it, okay.

There was multiples of them and it was giant it was feet long and it had fajita meat and pork and chicken and Tabletas and tamales and I had to explain to multiple people what tabletas were and It was delicious And I was very happy about it. Mostly it was just pretty so it's cool. It was just like a really like well done setup. So

That's very smart. I like when people get clever with things like that and be like, oh, hey, here's this thing and like, here's my spin and it's way better. Like I didn't blow your mind. Like it's way better than the original ones.

What?

Yeah. And it's like, well, it was sort of family style. So you've got that and you got a couple of things or tortillas. So you could just eat it on its own. People could try things like in the tamales were cut up. So you could have like a little bite of a couple. It was just so smart. Loved it. So, yeah, so that was my that's my everybody's like, how was the show? I'm like, show's fine. But let me tell you about this food because let's let's. But now, so now it's been a very good, very few busy few days. And I am in full Diana.

That is smart.

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

self-inflicted chaotic baking mode like I do every year. And I it's a it's a love hate. I don't actually never hate the love stress, self-induced. I know, but made progress. So marathon keeps going. I'm disappointed in Netflix number of entertaining Christmas movies this year. So I have to move on to the other channels. The other streamers.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the strike and I think it just fucked everything up Like they're probably like next year. You're gonna see like 20,000 more But there are some like yeah, the Eddie the Eddie Murphy one was cute. I forgot the name of that one

Yeah, so.

So I'll have to go to different streamers.

Oh yeah, that's on Amazon I think, right? I don't know if to look.

That was on Amazon, that was cute. And then I think Netflix had the like the family switch one.

I did not watch that yet because I thought baby I'm gonna watch it. That's the only one I skipped.

Yeah, no, that was also cute. They're very... Yeah, I don't know what to say. Like, they are fine.

They're fine. It's not like compelling, like theatrical releases, but it's very entertaining in the background.

No, they were, hey, you wasted an hour and a half while I fucked off and did something else. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. And I was entertained and it was something positive. Yay.

Yeah, yeah. And yeah, something that's like not too harsh and just like, la, la. So yeah. Brain fluff. Blank. There's always a reason for some brain fluff. All right. So this speaking of brain fluff, I think. Yeah.

Yeah, that's good shit. Brain fluff.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, all right.

So this episode reading is fundamental. This was season seven, episode 21. As I said earlier, we still have 22 and 23 to go in the season. This first aired May 4th, 2012. And this was both written and directed by Bint Edlund. So makes a lot of sense when you think about all the things that are happening in this, because there is like a doozy of stuff that happens in this.

Mm hmm. Mm hmm. A lot of stuff, a lot of stuff. And I knew a lot of cutting around when we start when we kick off. We kick off in with a lot of high school awards on the wall. So we've got an overachiever and cello music, which double hits on the overachiever. And we learned that this young man's name is Kevin Tran, and he lives in neighbor Michigan.

And we're kind of cutting back and forth between him practicing cello and Sam and Dean in a warehouse in South Chicago, setting up to try to bust open the rock around the rock that they stole from Dick. Dick's rock. But, yeah, lots back and forth. And we figure out that Kevin talking on the phone to his friend is he's just super obsessed with like perfect grades, perfect scores, perfect SAT because he wants to go to Princeton. And that's all there is for him is Princeton.

Dix Rock it.

So, yeah, Sam and Dean are starting to unpack Dick's rock and beat on it. And they got safety glasses. I don't know, I feel like it's, and like, there's nothing really like euphemistic about the rock, but like when you're starting talking about like they're beating Dick's rock, like I can't help it. I don't know, it's like giggle mode. But as soon as they are, as soon as he hits it, we get thunder and lightning. And then.

important.

beating dicks rock.

Dean points out that might mean no wait stop, but he's gonna do it anyways because he's Dean. Yolo, Dean, yolo. And they successfully break up the rock. And as they do this, Lightning flashes into Kevin's head, which seems not well through his house. I don't, I'm concerned about some structural integrity in the roof and somebody's gonna have to call the homeowners insurance policy, but Kevin is lifted off the ground with glowing eyes by Lightning.

But YOLO.

Yep, yep, that happens.

So in this, like, I guess I all I call this is a tablet. I call this a tablet. What did you call it? Because like it's a piece of stone with a bunch of writing. OK.

It's a tablet. Yeah. And I was trying hard because I was like, because I know, I know what it is. Cause it's Canon. So I was like, was like, am I just calling it a tablet? Cause I know it's a tablet and there was just like looking at it. So like, I did call it a big rock for a little bit. Cause I was trying to be like, okay, I know too much, but if you call it a tablet, we'll call it a tab.

Yeah.

That's right.

Yeah.

Okay, well, then like, I'm like, well, in modern vernacular tablet, I'm like, they don't have a fucking iPad, guys. This is a piece of stone of some kind with a lot of writing on it. So they get to, so Sam and Dean get to that and they're like, what the hell is this and, uh, good old Kevin's unconscious on the floor with his eyes glowing. Back in Michigan. And we cut.

Right then to good old Cass, who was left behind in the psych ward because he took on Lucifer from Sam and Meg over watching him. And Castile just suddenly sits up. So now we know Cass is awake. Kevin got struck by lightning and had glowy eyes, and they were able to unencase. Do you encapsulate? I don't know. The tab. Just making sure I'm making up shit. The rock or the rock around the tablet.

They broke up the rock.

And we've got a construction site where we get a reintroduction to Edgar. Because apparently Dick is calling him. And that's really all we see from this is just as Dick calling on Edgar's phone. And I'm like, I wonder how many girls have programmed their phone that way.

What do you call it? I mean, I got one. Um, yeah. So good old Kevin's on the floor. And now he's surrounded by broken glass, which I'm very confused about where this glass came from. Because I was just like, wait, what? I mean, it was just a weird layout. But either way, he's getting a voicemail from his mother and basically saying that she's been out of town. She's going to be back that night. And he's supposed to be taking a test right now at school. It's 10 AM. He overslept.

Yes sir.

So he's panicking and rushing out the door, but his eyes keep flashing and he keeps seeing all these runes or sigils or writing whatever this is on this tablet. Back in the warehouse.

Dean's waking up and the radio is talking about all this weird lightning storm. And Sam has researching. They do see a movement. Coffee mug moves on its own. So Dean calls out to Bobby and Sam's got, yeah, my readers going, that's probably is. But I guess his fight when he went almost vengeful against Dick drained his Bobby Ghost spirit. Energy.

Yeah, so his Bobby Ghost juice is not enough for him to be seen. Sure. I feel like it's just convenient ghost. Okay.

low.

The ghosts, I feel like they're just making up the ghost shit as they go.

Okay. And apparently Sam reveals to Dean that last night, every woman that was in their last month of pregnancy went into labor when they broke open the rock.

Yep. And also there's just a whole bunch of like weird weather news things happening. Like everyone's just like, we don't know what's going on, but it's weird.

Yeah, it's real weird. But they cannot figure out what writing this is on the tablet at all. Nobody, nobody can match it. I like. Dean's quote, his big daddy chomper lands here and grabs himself some dick.

Here we go. So they're just still trying to figure out what the fuck this rock is. Why? Why did Dick want this? And all of a sudden, Meg calls because she's got a report that. The cast is awake. Is this the first time? So I've heard the references because I follow the fandom. But and I so I know that there is the I've heard. I think that I've heard the bullwinkle thing before for Sam, but I don't know if I've heard it in the show yet. Is that track?

at all. Oh, you're right. He did. You're right. OK. I was like, I couldn't remember if I'd heard it before. But yeah, so Megan calls Sam Bullwinkle. She also calls Dean Seacrest, which was funny, too. But anyway, so, yeah, Castiel's awake. He's a little different and y'all better get here. So they start driving. Kevin's still having these eye and rune flashes, but he's driving, which seems very, very dangerous.

I think Crowley may have called him in already.

That's, it's like texting and driving, right? I mean.

It seems worse. It's like wearing like what like those like one of those ads always have a Google Glass or something like that. And it's like popping in front of your eyes while you're driving. It seems very dangerous.

But I'm sure it's going to happen in like five years, so okay.

Okay. Sorry, Google. I didn't mean to throw your product under the bus. It was just an example that came to mind. So his friend that he talked to before is freaking out that he missed the test. And he's like, I don't know, maybe I had a seizure and his eyes are glowing. And then he just says, I've been chosen. It's my birthright that I'm not allowed to stop. Oh, he's driving. Okay.

Yeah, yeah, that's how you know that your friend has cracked. So, yep. Oh no, they have a birth right now.

Yeah. Well, Sam and Dean get to the hospital at Casas at pretty quickly. Magglet gets them in and Casas standing up. He's wearing his trench coat over his little. What do you call it? I mean, it's not a uniform. I guess it is that he's wearing the white thing scrubbed white scrubs.

Well, it says, but it says like, it's just his clothes, his patient clothes, patient pajamas.

patient uniform? I guess. Yeah. So sure. But he's got his trench on and he wants, he really wants Dean to pull his finger.

And Dean hesitates, but he does. And then the lights explode and then Cas giggles. That's it. That is funny. So we know that Castiel remembers who and what he is. And but he was very excited about just following a honeybee. Mm hmm. I think Meg says he's like a naked guy in a rave since he woke up. Totally useless. But yeah, so he's just very interested in observing the world around him and keeping things simple.

because it's funny.

Uh, and, uh, he just heard a ping at eight o'clock that only angels heard. And so Sam's like, Oh, did it have something to do with this? And hands in the tablet. And he's like, why? Yes, it did. Said, free the word freed the word from the vault of the earth.

and hugs them and then drops a cat penis fact.

It is important. And I think I heard that happening to a poor cat outside my house last week. I know, but I was just like, I don't like, what do I go? Like, and I was like, and Chuck was like getting fed slurry and he was just like slurry, but

Ew. That's unfortunate.

And you're like, oh, the cat back there wants really what? Slurry.

Oh, I don't know. Well, Cass gives us background and tells us about the fucking tablet. It was written by Metatron, who was the scribe of God, basically. Right. I mean, is that I guess the easiest way without going back and forth. Not the transformer Megatron's Metatron. And it wasn't meant for angels to read. It's meant for humans. And the Meg really wants to look at it in Sam and Dean won't let her. So Cass gets pissed and poofs out.

because he does not like confrontation or conflict. And he drops the tablet and it breaks.

So Dean's going to go find Cass because Meg's like, oh, he's chilling in the dayroom. That's where he'd be now. So Dean goes to find Cass. Well, Meg wants to appeal to Sam about this. And so somehow they end up bullshitting about this and wandering out in the hallway and leaving this very important tablet broken on the floor of Cass's room unattended. What the fuck?

Yeah, I mean, even if like you don't know what it is, like, you know what it is, like, it's something like somebody told that from Iran. Like, what the fuck do you just like also like, why aren't you wearing gloves? Like all of you like this is a very the fuck is wrong with you. Yeah. So anyways, so you deserve what happens.

You know how hard you fought to get it.

so dumb. It's very, it's annoying. Which means that somebody yanks it. It's gone. And then they see Kevin running outside, holding it to his chest. My poor dog is going to like freak out in a minute, by the way. He keeps saying Kevin.

Oh, fair. We'll try it like it will. I mean, I just generally refer to him as this full name. So that may help if you just say Kevin Tran.

Oh, it's just funny.

Kevin Tran, maybe that'll help, yeah. So Meg and Sam are easily able to chase down Kevin and are very annoyed that he's just some random human teenager. And he introduces himself as Kevin Tran in advanced placement, please don't kill me. Okay, reasonable. And he literally, well, look, it appears that he literally cannot let go of the tablet. So, anyway, we've got Dean and Cass back in the day room and...

Dean's like kind of annoyed with Cass. He's like, you just broke God's word. And I need you to get your coat on and help us take down the biathans. And Cass yells like, oh, sorry. And holds up the board game. Sorry. So they're going to play. Sorry.

I guess. I don't know. So. With Sam and Meg are talking to Kevin back, they're back in the room, there is Cassie's room and he's like, I know what the, I haven't given trans, like, I know the tablets for me. I just don't know what the fuck it is. And he opens it up and he puts the pieces back together. That's kind of cool.

and they just kind of like glue themselves back together. Yeah.

That's fancy. That's a good trick. I like to be able to do that with things if I broke them. But back in the day room, Kaz was just talking about he's just, you know, you know, we were really just unsure about like which monkeys would make it. And, you know, y'all did. And it was you weren't just going to pose poetry at the other guys. But, you know, you all ate the apple and invented pants. So I got he's just like pontificating about like creation. But that's just what Cas is doing. And Dean is real impatient about this shit.

kind of reasonably so. This is kind of an intense moment and Cas is just kind of back. But also Cas has been like gone basically for a while. So what do you expect him just to be like hop to? I don't know. It's just kind of weird dynamic. But they're just playing sorry while they're having this combo. And so Cas makes a pun says we live in a sorry universe. So

Dean's like, yeah, but you kind of, you know, you did make some of the rules, though, when you try to become a god and cut a hole in the universe. Ta-da. And Cass just wants to play the game and Dean flips and tells him to forget the game. Flings it off the table.

I mean, just like it happens inevitably in a household. Somebody with any more gains, somebody gets mad and throws it on the floor.

With any board game, somebody gets mad.

I don't, I don't, I kind of want to, but I don't.

We had very different families. Okay, moving on. But then, yeah, so he throws the sorry board and we go back to Kevin and the Blair Witch tablet.

So.

The Blair Witch tablets.

Well, it just kept making me nauseous and I couldn't figure out how to describe it. It made me nauseous. Like the Blair Witch camera makes me nauseous.

Eh, fair enough.

Yeah, that's reasonable. So Kevin's able to kind of read it and he starts asking questions like, what's a Leviathan? It hurts to read it. Like I'm looking through someone else's glasses, which does suck. But it talks about how the Leviathan came to be and then God locked it away. And he's coming to the realization that this shit's real. And just Sam's like, yes. And how do you kill them? He's like, well, it doesn't really read that way.

And Meg goes all demonized and scares the fuck out of Kevin, which is kind of funny. And then there's angels and they fling Meg. Because angels aren't very nice, as we've learned. So. We've got the blonde angel, we find her out, this is Hester, is talking about observing a, quote, demon whore in a Winchester again. Ouch.

And then basically is telling Sam to step away from the prophet, referring to Kevin. Oh, OK. And apparently he is the sole keeper of the word on Earth. We are here to take you. But there's Hester and there's a dude angel, Ineos, I don't know how to say his name. Yeah. And Meg's like, no, you're not going to take him. You're not going to kill us. I have a blade.

It is.

Ta-da, here's the angel blade that I got from Cass. So, Cass shows up then, luckily, because he knew there was angels there. And Hester is pissed, because the last time they saw Cass, which was easy to forget, I didn't remember this even. And I'm like, oh, fuck, do angels hate him? Maybe, because he went up and he smote a whole fuck ton of angels, and then was like, B.T. Dub, I'm gonna be God. This is my big scary speech, deuces. And then he just disappeared.

and went to earth and tried to cut Tara whole and that made the Leviathans then he walked into the water and we thought he was dead.

Yeah.

Yeah, your friends don't usually like it when you do that.

Yeah, so, hmm, kind of rude, kind of rude. But he wants to at least talk about perspective and then he wants her, he wants Hester to pull his finger. She does not want to pull his finger for the record. No, no, nobody wants to pull the finger. No one wants to pull the finger. We all know something is gonna happen. We don't want to pull the finger.

Nobody ever wants to pull the finger. Nobody wants, Grandpa, nobody wants to pull the finger.

Although I was very impressed by my grandparent's abilities to fart on the mat-

I mean, that's impressive. It's slightly concerning.

I don't know about that. Anyway, so Dean has been waiting in the hall and did the cool angel sigil thingy on the wall and slams his hand to it and makes all the angels go away. So ta-da! Now they've got three to four hours to regroup before the angels relocate them all.

Kevin is freaking out. This is reasonable. Kevin just thought that his stressful day was gonna be taking an exam that he was probably gonna do exceedingly well on. And now he's missed that. He doesn't, he hasn't been home. God knows how far out of town he is.

It sounds like it's SAT like and so yes, that's a very stressful exam in the day of a young man's life is Especially if you want to go to Princeton your SAT is kind of yeah

It is.

Yeah, it matters. It matters. So yeah, and Sam introduces Kevin to Dean. They explained to him about junkless angels, which is, I mean, relevant information, I guess. And he's Kevin shares and I think this is kind of an interesting description that the tablet is kind of like a in case of emergency note. Okay, that's helpful. But he really doesn't want to be a prophet.

Which is also reasonable. Like, no. Not something that everybody would choose. So they're going to haul ass to Rufus' cabin. And they're driving in what appears to be a pretty cool, though very beat up, 70s Range Rover with a sigil spray painted on the hood. And, you know, pretty large. So, you know, there you go. And they stop at a Mini Mart.

where Sam happens to notice a news report about Kevin being a missing person and a federal manhunt going on for him. And Meg sees demon truckers in the parking lot.

Also, there's a commercial from Bigerson that plays in the background that says it's like a salad bar but with pie.

That's amazing.

I immediately want to go to Biggersons. I don't really care if you're going to eat me.

Give me a turdecken. That's fine, it's fine. Yeah, that sounds amazing. Yes. Though, I think it's in, oh where is it? There is a place that reminded me of that. It's on 45.

I would like a salad bar with pie. But with pie.

I was like, it's probably cruise ship, but...

Well, that too. But there is a place that's like, like buffet, like Southern buffet. And it was kind of good. And they definitely had like an array of pies. I was very happy. I have it in there. I would go again. No, I've been to that. This is like a one-off. It's not a chain at all. No. I know it was not a golden corral.

Was it O'Country Buffet? The OCB?

A one-off single-family buffet. Interesting. I had to find out what that is. Yeah, I need to find. I'm sure it's been on diners. That sounds like something that would be in diners.

like family owned. I will locate it for you.

Diner Drivers and Dives. Yeah. Triple D. With Guy Fieri, who I love. Anyway, so they're like, they're like, well, this is bad. There's also Demon Truckers, which also sounds like a Psychobilly song. I was gonna say a song. It's a Psychobilly song.

Yeah, triple D, whatever.

Isn't that a band? It's like a Billy. So I'm pretty sure it's a second Billy bands. If there hasn't been a band named even truckers, I would be very surprised.

Good.

Mm, same. So they they're making it. But while they're while they're driving, Cass calls Mag. And he's in Perth surrounded by unhappy dogs. And they piece together that he is in a dog racing track in Australia. And Mag shares that they're unhappy because the rabbit isn't real. There's already been so. And so he boops himself into the poofs himself into the backseat and boops Kevin on the nose.

Kevin does not appreciate at all. But he's like, yeah, those angels were from my old garrison and we were assigned to watch the earth and it was real fucking boring. So, and he explains that because the word of God's been revealed, the keeper of the word awakens, oops, Kevin again, and says I was supposed to take him to the desert to learn the word away from man. Hmm.

but they got to duck Hester if they want to keep the word instead of letting Kevin take it to the desert, which seems like kind of important since it's Leviathan related right now. But Cass has no interest in fighting anymore so he isn't really taking a side other than to kind of help them keep the book from Hester.

or the tablet. So they get to the cabin and he's, you know, they, they can't put in the angel expelling sigils on the walls. Otherwise cast can't stay. So it's just got to be the stuff that makes them hard to find.

and they go to where Dean has tortured demons to death and Leviathans in the basement. Him and Dean and Kevin go down there and Kevin rightfully asks if this is a sex torture dungeon.

Dean confirms that it's not. That was funny.

very funny. So they're like, Cass has tried to talk to Sam upstairs. He's like, you seem troubled, but that's like a primary aspect of your personalities. And I just tend to ignore it.

See ya!

And Sam was like, no, I've just been thinking a lot about you and asked if he asked if he's if Cassie's Lucifer and Cassie's like, I did it first. But I think it was just a projection, like an aftertaste from you. You know, and I was done for it first too. It was just a lot of the weight of all the mistakes, all the lives. And then I took on your pain. And so it kind of changed like my perspective. And Sam's like, no, I realized that you were trying to help that they, you know, that.

They all want to do what it takes for cast to get better now. And Casas, like, what do you mean get better? I'm fine. I just want to watch Bumblebee's. I'm good. But Kenny starts Kenny, Kevin Tran, Lord Kevin Tran is writing down all the notes from the tablet, though. So he is on a mission doing his homework in his little notepad, trying to transcribe it. But he gets real frickin dizzy. Like, this is too much. I'm a kid from Michigan and.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I'm not prepared to factor supernatural into my world. And has to breathe in a paper bag for a little while. And Dean tries to commit. He's like, yeah, you're chosen and it sucks. But guess what? Angels don't care. They're not equipped to care. And Kevin's like, I just want to be the first Asian American president of the United States. So and Dean says, do your homework and leave them there to keep transcribing. But outside, we've got Meg, because she's got to go confront the fucking

trucker demons. And they call her a skank immediately and ask, yeah, and she tells Roscoe that she's got a present for Crowley and acts like she's gonna hand over Cass. And I'm like, oh fuck, is Meg gonna double cross? No, she's not.

And that's not your word Roscoe, you can't use that.

Roscoe's a dummy and so was his sidekick. And she stabs both of them, kills them both in the street, and then walks away and sneaks back, it tries to sneak back into the cabin. But Sam, Dean, Cass, and Kevin, I guess were all waiting for her and trapped her in a devil's trap. Boom. And she's like.

Well, maybe you should have said something Meg. Like, why didn't you like hide this? It looks very sus. I don't- I still don't understand why you didn't say anything.

It looks so sus so avoidable so sus and avoidable. Like, come on. Annoying. Because now she's got to convince them that she's still on the same side. Cass has to cooperate that there's other demon blood on this fucking blade. Oh, and BT dub. She gets to give her a little mini monologue about this like what how she found her cause for her cause used to be Lucifer and

and yellow eyes, but now it's bringing down the king and that's Crowley. So she's all in on it. And she's like, you know what? I'm not going to screw over Sam and Dean or the only angel who will go to bat for me. But here's the problem. Her killing these demons has now put a beacon on them to the angels. So now the angels know where the fuck they are. That sucks.

Well, it's also that, that is like neither Sam nor Dean give a fuck about Crowley right now, because they're like, they're not, that's not the problem this season. And she's like, he's always the problem, like, which I think is kind of an interesting thing to, you know, that she says.

No. No, it's not the problem.

That's true. That is true. But they're so, like everything's so Leviathan focused, like we're not even talking about Crowley. He said he didn't even make the radar. So Hester's there now, she blows the door off. She's pissed that Castiel helped Sam Dean and Meg take the prophet. Dean's like, mm, yeah, because he needs to help clean up the mess. This is all the mess caused by an angel. So yeah, he's helping. And Cass is like, yep, that's pretty much what's happening here.

And Hester's big mad though. There's no convincing her. And she really fucking hates the Winchesters, apparently. And wants Dean to pay and Cass has to intervene and Hester loses her shit and is just like punching the shit out of Castiel. But.

Meg kills Hester. Surprise!

That's kind of like, I was kind of worried about a lot of blowback in the scene when that happened. Because is it feed into the perception about Meg being a demon and being on the other side, but she's killed a demon, she gets killed an angel, but she's got this weird attachment with Cass. And is it just because it's to her benefit or is it because her and Cass bonded because she was looking after him because she seems to like him because he looks after her or like seems to like her. It's a very odd, odd like I was like, oh, she.

Well, we kind of do like a little scene cut to the next morning or whatever. And Enius is like, Hey, Castiel, you should come with us. And Castiel's like, no, Kevin's finished transcribing the word. He gives it over to Sam. There's two new angels now hanging out. And Enius is like, Hey, we're going to take the keeper home. And we're just going to look after him there. Cause that seems better than taking him to the fucking desert. And then maybe he can like take his SATs, I guess, or something.

but they flap out and Dean realizes that he can't find Meg though right now. And Sam searches through the tablet transcription and he found the line about how to kill a Leviathan.

slay by a bone of a righteous mortal washed in the three bloods of the fallen

first being a fallen angel. So, Casters holds his arm out, says, oh, he's happy to bleed for the Winchesters. And I don't know if he's being slightly sarcastic or serious.

No, but then he also like just kind of like poofs his blood into a little bottle that just seems really convenient

a little bottle.

It makes blood tests a lot easier. Ugh. So, Dean's like, well, Cass, what are you going to do? And he's like, I don't know. And he poofs out.

Right?

Back at good old Kevin's house, though, he is getting returned by three angel men in weird suits. And his mom is very upset. And there is the federal investigator who was on the news there with her. And she's like, who are these guys? And Kevin's like, it's cool to keep me safe. And the bald cop guys like rock beat scissor. And I'm like, what is this guy talking about? This is real weird.

And then he reaches inside the angel and makes one of the angels do the black veiny thing and black goo come out of his mouth. And then he does it to the other one and says Leviathan beats angel.

It's Edgar.

The fad was Edgar all along.

So now we don't have the solitons.

That's it. God damn it. Ah.

Yeah, so yeah, do you have any curtain? Uh, curtain. Yeah.

Cast. Yeah, we got a couple casting couch curtain call casting couch. Yeah. So for cast, we've got this week. Kevin Tran was played by Osric Chow. He was Nima in the movie 2012. He was the blacksmith's assistant in The Man with the Iron Fist. He's been a reoccurring character named Ryan in the Flash series and also a character, a recurring character in the Nancy Drew series recently.

Hester was played by Emily Holmes. She's been in episodes of shows like Dead Like Me, Elward, Fringe, Alcatraz, Lucifer, and The Order. She was Ashley in Snakes on a Plane. Need to make that reference anytime I will. And she was one of the moms in the Wicker Man movie. Roscoe was played by Bob Fraser. He's been in episodes of X-Files, Travelers, Arrow, and he was...

New, old, new, old. Yeah.

New, yeah. It's a new Superman and Lois series.

Another one?

on CW. I don't know.

Anyway, it's cool.

Oh, yeah. I so there was I really liked some of the info that we got in this episode. Like, I think it really like brought us around like a lot of the storyline. Like, finally, like, OK, we've got a fucking lead on the Leviathan story. Right. It's not just.

So what do you think of the episode?

There's an end inside.

Yes, this is not just the unkillable big bad that will like last for eternity. But it's also like a... I don't know, it was kind of...

annoying, I guess is the word I would use. I don't know how else to say it without. I'm not mad at the episode. It was an entertaining episode. It's just like, I was just like, I don't understand. I feel like the way the writing is with the relationship with the Meg and the Winchester brothers. I think that she understands the relationship. They're not on the same, like they're not friends, but they're on the same team.

And they don't seem to get that, but she kind of has a perception about it. And I feel like that kind of like, and I get why they don't trust, but at the same time, it's like at some point, if you're going to be on the same team, you kind of have to a little bit. And then so that's kind of like, oh, and then I don't know. Poor, poor Kevin. I feel like they just really like dug in on that. Trope or stereotype. I don't know.

And then but other than that, like I was like I was already I was like, oh, shit, Hester going to be a big bitch in this. And then Hester's dead real fast. I was like, oops, I miscalculated that. So she got too mad, went too far, got herself killed.

See you soon.

Thanks for watching!

But I was very relieved when I realized that Kevin was able to hand over the notes before he got back to his mom's. But now I feel bad because the lyathin is going to get him.

happened.

Yeah, sad. Who knows what happens to Kevin Tran?

I bet we never find out.

We never find out what happened to Kevin Tran. The mystery. That is actually the whole, the unsolved mystery of Kevin Tran is just, the rest is supernatural.

The mystery of the Tran family. I'm so, I'm so.

Yeah.

That's all I got. What about you?

I mean...

I'm glad we're getting close to the end of the season. Leviathan is not a storyline a lot of people love. And I don't know, it'll be nice to see what happens to Dick. Maybe, I don't know what's gonna happen to Dick.

I hope nothing good.

I don't think it's gonna leave that untaunter there. All right, cheers, jerk.

Cheers, bitch.
