Summary: The Winchesters investigate a case involving an amnesiac zombie and discover that he’s the Greek Titan, Prometheus… and that the goddess Athena wants him dead.

My Recap: I must admit that this episode is probably my favorite of this season, so far. We meet a handsome drifter walking alongside a road and them BAM… he gets hit by a drunk and sleepy driver. The driver drives off and we see a bird of prey feeding off of the drifter. When a sheriff comes by, he checks the body and calls it in. Then the drifter awakens and walks away.

The Brothers Winchester come across the story and go off to investigate and when they go to a coroner, they see the body and assume the “zombie” is officially dead, but he awakens and they drag him back to their lair once they’ve figured out that he is, in fact, Prometheus. If you know your Greek lore, than you recall that he is the titan that gave humans fire and as a result of his act he was punished by Zeus to suffer death on a daily basis. Did I mention that he was kind of handsome? Anywho, he is not the only individual who is taken to the Legacy hide-out. Nope, we also met one of Prometheus’ one-night stands that gave birth to his son, Oliver, who is also afflicted with the daily death curse.

The Winchesters, Prometheus and Hailey (the one night stand) work together to entrap Zeus; in order to free the boy of the curse. This all backfires, due to a Mom’s love of her son, and with the assistance of Artemis (who has been crushing on Prometheus) they slay Zeus and free the little boy of the curse. Unfortunately, Prometheus had to sacrifice his life for his son. Thus ending an episode that not only was stellar, but better than the last two Clash of the Titans movies put together.

We did see a couple of moments of worry for Sam. He is still bleeding and we have no idea why. Also, he tells his brother that he feels that he may not be up to the task of closing the gates of hell. This led to a somber moment where Dean prayed for assistance from Castiel to keep his brother safe. We prayed right along with him.

There were some fun moments and they all stemmed from Dean, who tries to show off that he and Sam are Legacies and his bewilderment over Sam antagonizing Artemis in order to gain her assistance in their quest to save Oliver.

By the way, I would watch a show dedicated to the gods of Olympus in a modern setting. Wouldn’t you?

Next Time: To air on March 20th…

SAM, DEAN, CASTIEL AND MEG TEAM UP AGAINST CROWLEY AND HIS DEMONS — Castiel (Misha Collins) reappears in Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) life and tells them Crowley (guest star Mark Sheppard) has unleashed several demons into a small town. The demons are looking for Lucifer’s Crypt, which holds a valuable asset, but Castiel lies to Sam and Dean about what it is. While interrogating a demon, the three discover Crowley has been torturing Meg (guest star Rachel Miner), who knows the exact location of the crypt. Sam and Meg fight to hold Crowley off while Dean and Castiel go in search of the crypt.

Summary: A witch’s familiar asks the Winchesters for help when the witch, a cop who helped Sam and Dean on a case, has nightmares of murder that come true.

My recap: As the summary stated, this episode centered on the trials and tribulations of an old friend of the Brothers Winchester, now a witch, and his familiar… who looked a lot like Rihanna and Zoe Saldana’s love child. This was an interesting episode that really was not that stellar except for a couple of knowing glances from Dean and a well-placed Twilight reference towards the end of the episode.

Sam and Dean finally did help their friend learn the truth about who was controlling him and had manipulated him to kill innocents. Why? Well, a particular witch wanted him framed for the murders just so that he could be framed for it and thus kicked out of their community and separated from his beloved Doberman Pinscher familiar. I know, that is a lot to digest. But, this witch did something to the Winchesters. He manipulated their minds and forced them to see a particular moment in their past. Dean saw the night their mother was torched and Sam saw his time as a demon. Was this manipulation a way of forcing what they feared the most coming to the forefront?

After this happened, Dean expressed that he was totally into whatever was a head of them mano-a-mano and he trusts him. Dean lied about his vision and got a nose bleed and well that just terrified me for a second or two or more.

Next time: The Winchesters investigate a case involving an amnesiac zombie and discover that he’s the Greek Titan, Prometheus… and that the goddess Athena wants him dead.

Synopsis: Kevin translates the tablet and finds the way to close the gates of Hell. He tells Sam and Dean that in order to do so, one person has to face three tasks designed by God, one of which is killing a hellhound, and the brothers argue about who should complete the tasks.

My recap: Now that the Brother’s Winchester are working together, the episodes have become so much more fun. From Dean’s nesting in his room and making phenomenal burgers to Sam’s want to take on the task of passing the series of obstacles set-up by God to close the gates of hell and thus ridding the world of all the demons that are running around making humans miserable because he has hope and Dean does not. It was just so well written and filmed perfectly that you just sat back and felt like you were watching a classic episode of Supernatural.

What I loved, watching the boys trying to solve the case of who the hounds of hell were after, was it the rich and dysfunctional owners of the property or was it the young, pretty grounds manager?

There were touching moments between Sam and Dean. Dean wants to take on the task to close hell so Sam has a shot of living a normal life and as I stated before, Sam wants to take the task on because Dean is not equipped to do so. Dean is willing to go out in a blaze of glory and that is just not right.

Best bit: Dean turning down an offer of sex and nesting.

Worst bit: Seeing Kevin eat all those hot dogs… yuck.

Cannot wait to see next week’s episode.

Next time: A witch’s familiar asks the Winchesters for help when the witch, a cop who helped Sam and Dean on a case, has nightmares of murder that come true.

Sources close to Zap2It stated that Dean’s return from Purgatory and his relationship with Benny, the vampire, will give him a strong connection to the season’s overarching themes, without Sam serving as a middle-man.

It opens the door for the boys to spend some time apart as Dean digs himself deeper into that world and Sam… well, tries to maintain a relationship.

Of course, even as their priorities shift, the brothers’ relationship remains central to the season. Their time apart gives them the tools to live separately; but that doesn’t mean they want to.
