What an awesome episode! Just awesome. From the very beginning to the very end. It had its funny moments, the Charlie moments we love, the brotherly moments AND a WINCHESTER HUG! Oh man, how much I missed that 😳 Pure awesomeness. Robbie Thompson is definitely one of my favorite writers of Supernatural. His episodes are becoming my favs. And this was no different. It was awesome. We got to know Charlie's history too and it broke my heart but it also shed light on her character. Oh, and did I mention that the episode was awesome?!

Dean: Man, I'm telling you.. give me five minutes with some clippers..and..
Sam: Oh, shut up! 🤣

I was totally cracking up there but the my Sammy's condition broke my heart over and over again and then again. The second trial has taken a huge toll on him. Just thinking about the trial is making me super nervous.

The whole episode on the djinns was interesting, I've always found the djinn based episodes were interesting. Especially the very first one What is and What should Never Be. And of course, having Charlie back was simply amazing. I love that girl.

The look on the boys faces when Charlie mentioned the books cracked me up.

Charlie: Thanks for saving the world and stuff. [To Sam] Sorry, you have zero luck with the ladies.

Sam: We need to find every single copy of these books and burn them.

Hahah poor Sammy.

You know, Charlie really is that little sister that Dean never wanted. After Dean, she's the one who's got the best one-liners. "Son of a pant-suit!"

"Come with me if you wanna to live." Dean raises an eyebrow. "I've always wanted to say that."😆

Felicia Day had mentioned in the interview to look out for the clothing store scene and it was priceless! Dean's expressions = hilarious!! Love that Charlie's song is Walking on Sunshine. Suits her to a t.

"There's pretty much nothing the Winchesters can't do, if they work together." ---> This was pretty much the defining line. It's so true. We have seen the boys fighting with every evil thing possible, they've fallen down, gotten up stronger than ever, and in the end they've always won as long as they were together. Though I'm very nervous about the finale, I do know that no matter what happens, my boys will be okay.

Dean, as always, looking out for Sam and Sam, stubborn as always to work on the case. It was nice to see the same sibling dynamics here. It's always like this. Dean is always very concerned when it comes to Sam.

"You guys fight like an old married couple." Where have I heard that one before? 😛😆 Love every single time it's mentioned. It's so cute.

And then end...if there was anything missing in the episode (nothing I could think of), the end definitely made up for it.

Charlie: I love you.
Dean: I know.
Awww... and the hug and the brotherly kiss. Just so frickin' adorable. It's amazing how profound relationships the boys form with people. And this goes beyond saving their lives. They just connect with them.. almost like family. Love that.

And of course the Winchester hug!!! 😳 It was cute the way Sammy starts to explain himself thinking Dean would yell at him and Dean just hugs him and offers to go after Kevin. THIS is what I love about these brothers. This is what was missing at the beginning of this season and why I was upset. Have to say that all the episodes after the winter hiatus have been very impressive and this was no different. Loved it.

Well, I guess the countdown officially begins. 3 more to go.

Edit :

I am too tired at the moment and even though I want to write so much on this episode, I know my brain isn't going to cooperate with my fingers, so I'd excuse myself for now. But that doesn't have to take away from the sheer awesomeness this episode was. I loved every tiny wee bit of it. <3 Supernatural's making it harder for me to say goodbye at the end of the season. I absolutely have no idea how its going to be like to wait another year for season 9. 🤔 Actually, scratch that. I do. Its not gonna be pleasant. 😳 I'm tempted to say 'copy that' to your and K's comments. You both write so well that by the time I finish reading your views, I forget what was about to say. Your reviews are such a welcome Mahi! :)

THIS is what i call Awesomeness😎
The episode started with Dean in an army doctor uniform [ he looks so GOOD *blush*]
Then ohh my Sammy looked so adorable when he woke up😳
and then Dean's clippers line🤣🤣
But well, Sam's condition is way too damaged..I am tensed about how badly the trials will affect him But then in Charlie's words they can pretty much do everything right...so like you said even i feel, that at the end of the day my boys will be OK. And i am proud of Sam today [ well not that earlier i was'nt] whatever happens i know for sure that they'll never let it go.
And Charlie Charlie Charlie i LOVE this girl.The sister they never had *sigh*
The ending made me cry...
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."


p.s- ofcorse how can i NOT mention the WINCHESTER HUG

The episodes become awesomer than ever when the season is about to end. How is that fair? And and, dude - you do not know just how delightful it is to get to your reviews right after I finish watching the episode. This one's an awesome read! You cover the whole thing for us to recollect and smile at, thanks and stuff. x

Now, the theme was the episode for me was facing your fears. Maybe it was the universal theme. 😆 But it caught me in the arse, bit me and I was crying through the last ten minutes of the episode. Charlie is such a character, I like her heaps. Dean and her make one helluva duo, I like the sound of 'the little sister he never had'. And oh, man! 'Gimme some clippers' was the part I was in splits of laughter at. It was devastating (on a figurative basis) to see Sam in that condition. He's more a fighter than we ever give him credit for.

The episode was blast! It also got me to get really emotional. I always like such episodes, you know? That's a great, great watch always. And the supernatural facet of the show, I like it that way - when they hunt monsters down, not do long, long quests to save the world from getting destroyed.

Thanks for that read, see you next week. 😳

@L - I know, right! So happy! This Winchester hug was pretty short but emotionally charged. Loved it. Charlie is alive and well. I think the writers know by now that SPNFamily loves Charlie a lot and probably won't kill her off like every other character.

@Almas - Yes! Dean and Charlie make an awesome team. Not a big fan of the video games but that sequence of the two of them was thrilling. It was also so beautiful to see Dean connect with Charlie emotionally and make her realize that she has to let go.

@Kankshita - Your feelings mirror mine. The episodes are getting better and better and the season's almost ending. So not fair. And thank you! I love reading your comments too, so thank you for always replying! The theme of the episode definitely was facing your fears and also when to let go and when not to. Loved the last part where Charlie says she's gotta let go and asks Dean if he will and he says never. Charlie had to let go of her mom who, as nurse/doctor had earlier said to Dean, has been gone for a long time. Now in terms of Dean, he's holding on to his Sammy and trying his best to protect him. Though he understands at the end that Sam is a fighter and has to do what he has to do, he's not gonna let go. At the end, he's always gonna be there for him. And that's what we love about the brothers anyway, right. I'm more of a fan of the monters of the week episodes as well. They're short, they're fun, don't seem to drag, and you can always expect something new the next week. BTW, I absolutely love your avi (Dean's expression is hilarious) and the Winchester hug sig! Awesomeness.

Call me K. I beg to differ, I have hardly ever replied but now I look forward to. You see, if the episode's interesting enough, everything related to it is worth participating in. Otherwise, I am highly uninspired to discuss any part of it, like I was through a major portion of this season. 😳

I forgot to mention that, yes. When to let go and when to hold on - that got me wondering. Letting go is definitely harder than holding on, that's what Dean and Charlie were all about in this episode. It was tragic both sides, but they did the right thing. They're strong people.

Weekly monsters used to rock my world when I watched back to back seasons 1 to 5 of the show on Star World last year. They were heaven. 😳 But the saving the world really took a toll on it, and things became stretched, ghastly in places and not good at all.

I got the GIFs from Tumblr last night, the place is full of the episode's stuff, you could check it out!
