In a plot thread that gets put down and never taken back up, a police officer kills his wife and then himself after checking out a breaking-and-entering at a creepy old asylum in Rockford, Illinois. That opening sequence, however, creates an atmosphere, and that atmosphere in turn becomes a serendipitous confluence of events, as the Winchester brothers get a text message from their father directing them to that very same loony bin! Who needs plot when you've got atmosphere and serendipity?! Though nothing can silence the creaky gears of this haunted asylum plot (not even a bunch of easy horror movie references), some interesting dynamics between the brothers emerge. The asylum is haunted because back in the 1970s patients were subjected to some crazy rage experiment, and then they rioted and killed their psychiatrist and themselves.
The psychiatrist took to haunting the abandoned nuthouse halls, enraging every person who happened to pop by. Sam, haunted as we all know by his own demons, falls into Dr. Crazytown's clutches and then decides to pour some "you're not the boss of me" hate on Dean. In the name of love, of course. Sam shoots Dean in the chest with their trusty rock salt gun, and when Dean hands him a real gun to finish the job, Sam goes ahead and pulls the trigger. Ouch, that's gotta hurt! Luckily, the gun wasn't loaded, and just you wait until the recap for me to unleash a fantastic Die Hard joke on you about that whole thing. In order to make the brothers' presence in the asylum even a tiny bit plausible, two lost and in peril teens are thrown into the mix as well. Oh, and also, at the very end of the episode, Sam wakes up to answer Dean's ringing cell phone, sits straight up in bed, and asks, "Dad?" Again, I recommend that no one hold their breath for an answer to that one. Just looking out for your well being! Can you tell I've got the wine chats?
So, who else is psyched for Felicity: An American Girl Adventure?
