12x13 & 12x14 Family Feud, The Raid Review

Extremely sorry for the no-show last week... will try and recap both episodes here..

Both the episodes had characters from the past seasons who met their end in the show. One was Gavin Mcleod and the other the vampire Alpha.. 😊

Last week's episode (Family Feud) Who else wasnt satisfied with Crowley's explanation for how he found Lucifer's old vessel, repaired it and once again made it fit for an arch-angel? As badly as it was damaged in season 5 finale... for the vessel to survive so many years, what was the use for Lucifer to possess Cass, Vince Vincente and the President, if his original vessel could have been found and repaired so easily? Not to mention, Mark Peligrino is back, but now Lucifer's character has been so over-done that even Mark's presence was not thrilling.. I was under the impression, Crowley knew about Kelly's escape, whereas he was in the knowledge that the Winchesters had taken care of the 'problem'

Appearence of Dagon.. how come she was able to elbow and kill two angels when Ramiel needed the Lance? 😕 and these angels knew the whereabouts of Kelly, and not Cass.. 😕 what the..

It was touching of Gavin to go back and die with Fiona and prevent her from being a vengeful spirit.. this is probably one of the few things i liked in this episode..

Crowley and Rowena scene at the end of last week's episode was another scene i enjoyed.. both have their twisted ways of getting back at each other, and taunting each other.. no love lost between them. I wonder whether Crowley will break ties with the Winchesters coz of this.. he will be influenced by Lucifer's constant nagging and whinning, no doubt.. but whether Gavin's loss will be the one which will finally have him blink and betray them is something that remains to be seen..

This week's episode.. The Raid.. was more getting the Winchesters to join the BMOL than anything.. Mary's betrayal spills over from the previous episode, but the scene where Dean tells her, he never was a child, and calls her Mary.. was heart breaking.. 🥺 Dean cares about all his loved ones so much.. it was more his hurt than anger, that she went behind them, and made friends with the BMOL without their knowledge.. not to mention, her stealing the Colt from Ramiel and giving it to the BMOL..

More was revealed about the BMOL in this episode.. they are all about logistics and stealth and weaponry, rather than people who have killed monsters with sheer bravery.. how easily all the staff and security are taken down by the vamps..

Dean and Arthur Ketch scenes were interesting.. Arthur seems to have some ulterior agenda on his mind.. and although he considers the BMOL his family, the way he abandoned them in their time of need is telling.. So Mick and Arthur are serving some higher masters in London.. who want the Winchesters on board.. However, apart from a mere mention of Toni, no sign of her.. why she tortured Sam for information and why the BMOL want the Winchesters to work with them, after getting them tortured is something the coming episodes will reveal..

Dean making up with Mary was expected.. 😔 thats the whole family drama of the Winchesters, they lie, and make allies and have secrets which are ultimately spilled in front of the others in dramatic fashion.. Momma Winchester was no different.
