Dean realizes he lost his wallet so they have to go back to the art gallery to find it. While they are there, Sarah walks in. Dean suddenly tells Sam he has to give him the $2. Dean is clearly setting him up. He leaves them alone to talk. While they are talking, a worker from the gallery walks by carrying the painting the brothers had burned the night before. Sam says in lore about haunted paintings, it’s always the subjects that haunt them. The family was named Merchant, and when they go to the library to do research, the librarian asks them if they’re crime buffs. It turns out that the father, Isaiah Merchant, killed the rest of the family and then himself. He slit all of their throats. As the librarian is showing them all the information he found, he shows them a picture of the family, which is the same portrait that they burned. Sam noticed that the father in the picture is looking in a different direction in the actual painting than in the picture of the painting. Sam calls Sarah to ask if they can see the painting again and she tells him they already sold it. Sam gets an address for the buyer, but we see they are too late and the woman who bought it, Evelyn, has already been killed. When Sarah touches her, not realizing that Evelyn is dead, her head falls off. The painting moves while Sarah is looking at it. Sarah then shows up at the brother’s hotel and demands to know who is killing people. They tell her the truth. They all return to the house to look at the painting again. The brothers figure that if the ghost is changing aspects of the painting, it might be for a reason. They next visit the Merchant family mausoleum. They find the urn for Isaiah Merchant is missing from the mausoleum. Dean finds out that the Merchant family was ashamed of Isaiah and the county buried him, meaning there are bones to burn, so they burn them. They go back to the house to get the painting and bury it. Sam and Sarah go inside and find the painting has changed again. The little girl is missing from it now, as is the razor. Sam and Sarah hear really creepy laughing. Dean hears it too, but the doors close, locking Sam and Sarah in and Dean out. As Dean is trying to figure out how to get rid of the girl since she’s already been cremated, Sarah tells Sam that antique dolls were made using kids real hair, so Dean heads back to the mausoleum to burn the doll that was interred with her. He does it just in time. Dean later finds a document in the county records that says the Merchants daughter was adopted after her real family was murdered in their beds. When he is saying goodbye, Sam tells Sarah he will come back and see her. That is a lie (even if he means it when he says it). He never does that. Best Moments: All the interactions between Dean and David Blake, the art gallery owner, are pretty entertaining. Dean also realizes Sam likes Sarah Blake. The waiter gives Sam the wine list and Sam just looks through it, clearly confused. The waiter hovers while he’s looking, which I’ve never personally experienced, but anyway. This reaction goes over very well with Dean. Before they leave, Sam does go back and kisses Sarah. Dean looks on and smiles. It’s clear his teasing Sam is really because he’s concerned about him. Impersonation of the Week: Dean is telling girls that they are reality TV scouts looking for people with special skills. This is made more humorous by the fact that Dean can’t even get the words out when he tells Sam without laughing. Sam and Dean go to a silent auction where they pose as art dealers named Sam and Dean Connors. Family Moments/Arguments: Sam gets angry that Dean keeps trying to get him to hook up, which leads to a meaningful conversation for the brothers about Sam and his feelings about what happened with Jessica, and how that is partially holding him back from the idea of new relationships. Action Moment: When Dean can’t get in the house and Sam and Sarah can’t get out, Dean tells Sam to get some salt or iron to hold her off while he figures something out. They stay on the phone with each other while Sam looks for salt, but can’t find any. He and Sarah then look for iron, which repels evil spirits. More doors in the house close and then in the creepiest moment, we see the little girls feet as she walks toward them, carrying her doll by the leg. The girl is carrying the razor in her right hand. As she’s coming towards them, Sam bumps into the iron fire poker and swings it at the girl, making her disappear for the moment. Deans heads toward the crypt and the little girl returns, throwing a piano on Sam. As Sarah tries to help her, the girl appears right next her and just looks at her. Dean is having trouble breaking the glass on the case holding the doll, when he realizes he can shoot it. In the house, the little girl is about to kill Sarah and Sam is still trying to escape the piano, as Dean fumbles with the lighter. Sam escapes and tries to save Sarah, but tackles her probably a little too late. Luckily, Dean managed to get the lighter to work and torched the dolls hair. Everyone is okay and the little girl returns to the painting. Funniest Moments: Dean is passed out in the car after their night out at the bar. Sam leans on the horn, startling Dean awake. Sam starts laughing uproariously at Dean’s reaction. At the silent auction, Dean asks the waiter for Champagne with a mouth full of food. He says it in such a pretentious way that Sam gives him a condescending look and tells Dean the man isn’t a waiter. The brothers walk into their hotel room, which looks like something out of a 1. They just look around and say, “Huh.”Throughout the episode, Dean keeps calling the provenances . They are staying at the Boogie Inn. Dean tells Sam to make his move and turns the car stereo on with . They are both drinking beers. Dean is eating whatever hors devours are being served at the auction. State of the Week: New York.

Previous Episode of Supernatural. I'm of two minds about . Their dialogue tends to feel a little flat or on- the- nose, which is a shame when you have the assembled talents of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Mark Sheppard and Jim Beaver (huzzah!) in front of the camera. Still, while there wasn't the punchiness of an Edlund or Thompson script, I was impressed with how much ground the episode covered in the space of 4. Hell and Purgatory, an emotionally resonant kamikaze mission from Benny and a meeting between Dean and Naomi, we also saw the return of our beloved Bobby Singer. I certainly wasn't bored throughout the hour, although some of the lazy plotting did irk me. Firstly: As phenomenal as it was to see Jim Beaver again, a trip to Hell seems like it should've been a season finale- worthy event, something that might've required two episodes' worth of set- up and resolution to truly do it justice. While it makes sense that Crowley did away with the . Naturally, on a CW budget, we were never going to see pits of fire and rivers of blood - - and the inhabitants of hell that we did see looked fittingly disturbing - - but there's still a reason why Hell has always worked better as an implicit and abstract location on . While every show requires suspension of disbelief and a varying amount of contrivance to move certain plotlines forward, it seems unfathomable that all Sam had to do to get into and escape from Hell - - supposedly the most horrifying and dangerous place in existence - - was stab a few demons and creep around a few dark corridors. Why was he so chill about returning to the place where Lucifer made him his chewtoy with no signs of PTSD or even a minor flashback? How did he find Bobby so easily? Why was Bobby's door unlocked? Why, when Dean spent four months (equivalent to 4. Hell and began torturing people under Alistair, was Bobby so mentally unscathed after the better part of a year (or 1. Hell time)? If Crowley had personally prevented the older hunter from reaching heaven because of the role he played in thwarting Crowley's plans, wouldn't the King of Hell have devised a slightly more devastating method of torture than sending in black- eyed Winchesters to taunt him? And how was Crowley, the King of Hell, not only unaware of the fact that there was a living mortal in Hell until he tortured the information out of Ajay, but unable to track Sam down while the hunter was wandering blindly around his domain? We've seen the kind of power the snarky demon has outside of his jurisdiction on Earth - - shouldn't he be slightly more on top of things in his own kingdom? These aren't small, nitpicky details like discrepancies in dates or lore, these are real gaps in logic that could've easily been explained or avoided with more time and thought. There were a lot of strong conceptual ideas and fascinating dynamics at play in . Countless angels supposedly died to rescue Dean from the pit, but apparently if Sam had done enough research into rogue Reapers, he could've popped through the back door and retrieved him in less than a day. While I did enjoy Bobby calling Sam out for failing to look for Dean in Purgatory, it's interesting that the show continues to draw attention to something that the producers seemed eager to downplay in the first half of the season. We still don't have a reason for why Sam didn't look, aside from that he was broken and messed up, but the continued reactions to that information from other characters - - echoing the response of the fanbase - - either make it seem like there is something more to Sam's choice and has been all along (despite what Carver and Singer initially said) or that the writers are retroactively trying to retcon that decision to satisfy the fans. If it's neither, and we're just supposed to surmise that Sam really just chose not to look and didn't think twice about it because of their . I also hope that Sam's firsthand experience (albeit short and relatively devoid of action) of what Dean experienced in Purgatory will prompt a real apology, or at least an explicit acknowledgment of what Sam left him to face by not looking - - and if this episode hadn't attempted to cram so many plot elements into one short installment, there would've been more breathing room for those kinds of conversations. Sam's solo quest did throw Dean's inactivity into stark relief this week, and I would've preferred to see him doing more than sitting around cooking for Kevin and giving him . Naturally, she conveniently didn't mention her plans for the angel tablet while pointing out that their interests were aligned but, much like Sam and Dean's previous deals with Crowley against foes such as Lucifer, I have a feeling that Naomi will become a reluctant ally for them in the last few episodes of the season, at least as far as closing the Gates of Hell is concerned. I doubt Dean would ever willingly trust her, or give up on Castiel because of her manipulation, but at some point, we know the Winchesters will outlive their usefulness to her, just as they did with Zachariah. Dean's interactions with Benny this week were as compelling as always, illustrating the depth of friendship between the two, and the story thankfully allowed Sam to get over his inexplicable vampire xenophobia and admit that Benny's not such a bad egg after all. Benny willingly risked himself in a suitably heroic fashion to save one of the Winchesters (and we all know you're not truly a part of the family until you do), so I'm glad that the door was left open for the vampire to return, since Dean also deserves the kind of support system that Sam got to experience at Stanford, and Ty Olsson is an excellent addition to the world of the show. Dean's farewell with Benny and Sam's with Bobby were both perfectly played and gut- wrenchingly moving, and undeniably the high points of the episode. Did Crowley truly find him, kill his mother off- screen and overcome all of his wards to steal him away (after fixing the windows) - - anticlimactic, much? I'm guessing the former, in which case, Sam and Dean will need a very well- placed source (probably not played by Alan Rickman) to clue them in on what the last trial requires .. Thoughts?)What did you think of ? Were you glad to see Bobby again, or do you think the show should've let the character rest in peace? ET on The CW. Watch a preview for the April 2. Supernatural Season 1.
