Okay, so this is an interesting episode.. unique concept, haven't seen anything like that on Supernatural before. Considering it's running Season 8 right now, that's a big thing.

I knew there was something sketch about that Victor guy off the bat but I just couldn't believe what he did to the three kids. The guy was nuts.. I wonder if this is what happens to all hunters.. those who live long enough to get to middle or old age. Martin, Victor... Love Bobby but the guy did have his issues too. All of the evil, all of hunting's gotta take some toll on the hunters.

Anyway, back on the topic, the episode was very interesting! The plot was sorta unpredictable and it was great to see Krissy back and being the leader of the group. I have to say I enjoyed seeing the protective side of Dean. He was looking out for Krissy during the entire episode.

As for Krissy, I love her guts. She has a great rapport with Dean (was the same the first time she appeared). And I just love the kickass attitude of hers. It was great to see her back. And loved the way the episode ended. The kids were brought together in a wrong way but they have become a family and they're holding on to each other.

Of course, it was a filler episode and no sign of Cas :( But it was a good one. I enjoyed it. It was also very interesting to see the spin on the monster theory. Hunters hunt monsters but sometimes it's the people who become a monster like Victor.

Some of the lines were brilliant!! Loved the brothers' conversation in the beginning:

Dean: Listen, if you wanna take a knee on this one, if you are not feeling up to it.
Sam: What?
Dean: You know the trials, what Cas said, that you got what he can't cure.
Sam: Which means what exactly?
Dean: I don't know. You tell me, are you okay?
Sam: I'm fine. Are you okay?
Dean: Me?
Sam: Yeah, Cas ding you up pretty good.
Dean: And?
Sam: I just wanna make sure you're okay.
Dean: What? Like my feelings?
Sam: If that's what you wanna take about, sure.
Dean: Okay, I tell you what. Why don't I go get some herbal tea.
Sam: Okay.
Dean: And you can find some cowboy junkies on the dial.
Sam: Eat me, Dean.
Dean: And you know what? We are just talking now! Good talk! Nay, great talk! Very healthy!!

Hahahaa I was laughing hysterically when Sam said, "Eat me, Dean." 😆 Dean's attitude was hilarious. We all know the guy hates heart-to-hearts.

Some other funny lines:

Sam: What happened?
Dean: Teenager, that's what.

Sam: So these kids are...
Dean: Dangerous and off their meds! Yeah, no kidding!

Dean: I'm proud of you.
Krissy: Shut up before I punch you. 🤣

Krissy: You're alright for an old guy.
Dean: I'm really not that old.
Krissy: You keep telling yourself that.

Aedan: Yeah, goodbye, Dean.
Dean: Aedan... Listen, there's something I wanna tell you about Krissy.
Aedan: I know I know, you'll kill me if I ever hurt... blah.. blah.. blah..
Dean: No, no, no. She'll kill you. Good luck!

^ When Dean gestured Aedan to come here, I was like awww... Dean's gonna give him the 'if you hurt my little girl' talk but as always, Dean surprises me 😆

Dean: Maybe if we shut that hell hole once and for all, those three can have a real life.
Sam: Maybe they won't be the only ones.

^ This just broke me heart. The boys have been through so much! They deserve a normal life, a happy pie life. So much weight on their shoulders.. I just wanted go in my screen and give them both a hug. 😳

Okay, so overall a pretty good episode! Next one is definitely more on the mytharc so it'll be interesting.

Tera mera rishta purana...Meaning that's a reserve. 🤣

Edit : I know I am late, sorry couldn't edit it in time. But anyways now that I am here I shall make up for it LOL. Since not every episode can be centered around the season's chosen mythology, I think its nice the way a self-contained episode "Freaks and Geeks," turned out which paid homage to the series history and provided us with the satisfying characters and episodic content. I really like the way they demonstrated how hunting is not all about killing. Its so much about humanity and giving second chances too. Had it not been for Victor's desperateness, I think I would have liked him. Had his intentions been truly altruistic, there could be a lot of good done for I feel the idea of hunters coming together, staying together like a family since they got no one left and probably training the ones who feel that's what they should be doing is good. I love the bond Dean and Krissy share, its amazing how Dean and Sam strike a cord with people, and somewhere down they become a family. <3 Watching Krissy forgo a fist-bump for a kiss on the cheek in thanks was so touching, especially since Dean is a character who craves human connection and familial bonds. 😳 And oh all those punch lines you mentioned were awesome. 🤣 Great post as always! :)

Let's never call such epic episodes fillers, mate. 😳 I, for one am disgusted of the actual plot of this season. The whole trials thing is better than the initial tablet reading shit. My interest in Supernatural was slipping away like butter on a heated pan in the middle of May. 😳

Your review is accurate and very sweetly written. I'll tell you what, I have lost track of my previous reserves so we'll just continue from here and I will be a regular one round here.

Dean is squat if not protective. He's protected Sam all his life and to see him protective of others is so natural and such a delight, always. It's intrinsic Dean to be protective. And Krissy is one of his most brilliantly bad arse subjects. She's admired down here. And whoa, when Dean warns Aidan in the fashion he did, I was in splits of laughter like literally in the middle of the night quite like an idiot. 😆

Sam's always hopeful. The ending bit reflected that once again. He deserves to live a normal life, so does Dean. But Dean and him are both so suited and into the job that it is heartbreaking to see that Dean sees nothing besides hunting in his life.

Middle-aged hunters, you're so right about them. Bobby was one helluva character, I still wish they bring him back. Had his issues, but he chose not to become like Victor. It comes down to the choices, always.

The episode was funny, so funny. 😆 I am looking forward to more of this awesomeness.

@Husna - I truly loved Krissy giving Dean a kiss on the cheek too! And what you said about how the brothers strike a cord with people. It's beautiful to see them sharing such a bond with people they've really only recently met.

@epiphany - Did I call it a filler? Sorry! I didn't mean to. If I called it a filler somewhere, I probably meant in a sense that it didn't have anything to do with the main theme of the season. I didn't mean to say that it's filler and not important. Personally, most of my most favorite episodes have nothing to do with the theme of that season. Not a big fan of the mytharc this season either. After season 7, I think this one is much better though with all these episodes in between.

Well, your wish has been granted!! If you've seen 8X20 - you know what I mean :D

@L - Hope you get to watch it soon! It's a good one.
