Yeah, I expected mixed emotions would be had on your end with this episode. It is a jolt to learn about Kevin’s ghost. I knew you’d quickly clock that the ghost was Kevin. God did the look in your eyes in that moment get me right in the heart, Jess. And yeah, the show spells it out via the opening credits. I caught that myself, thinking that “Well, he’s definitely in the episode, then. Even if he’s not the ghost, which he probably is, he’s still popping up in some capacity.” I’m with you on the Winchesters should have looked into Linda’s whereabouts FAR earlier than they did. Put on the rumpled trench coat and light a cheap cigar, even put on a contact lens to mimic a glass eye if they want to go all out with things and play detective. Even if they genuinely thought Crowley was just fucking with them, you still at least investigate the matter just to make sure. Besides which, they’ve known Crowley for how long, and they STILL don’t know that Crowley, one, rarely lies, two, when he really wants to mess with your head, he’ll tell you the truth? Shame on them. Nice that the ghost of this Candy helped them find Linda. I like how you found it to be fair, Candy saying she said Linda was alive when last she saw her and thus, can’t speak as to now, and to the boys’ credit, they don’t press the issue further. The big emotional moment of both the episode and your reaction was when Linda learned the truth. I would have been in the same shoes as Sam of you recognize it’s an occasion where there is a logical and pragmatic reason to lie, thus you tell Linda that Kevin’s safe. But then your conscience kicks in as you realize you can’t build up that false hope. Lauren rips your heart out when she portrays the moment when Linda sees the look on Sam’s face and puts two and two together. Your reaction to that was most striking, Jess. Lauren likewise sells Linda’s steely resolve of doubling down on her efforts to get free. Most satisfying when she killed the intern. I like the silent exchange between Sam and Dean where you can see the thought process is Dean silently asking, “How much does she know?” and Sam silently replying, “Enough.” I get completely what you mean of though you still want Kevin to go to heaven as he most certainly deserves it, it is nice to have the closure of mother and son reunited. Linda got me with the scene with the ring. It doesn’t heal everything, but it takes some of the sting from Kevin’s death. Like you said, Jess: Good people die in this show. Even so, Kevin did NOT FUCKING deserve that. Tis sweet how Kevin tells Sam he holds no ill will, just expressing that when they kill Gadreel, they’ll call it even. I second what you mean of appreciating the sentiment that Kevin imparted to the boys. It is very much him saying a “Do or do not, there is no try.” type deal. And the boys do need to hear that. They’ve kind of been holding themselves back on mending their rift and have only been trying. They need to actually commit and say they will do it; they will put in the effort to heal. Of course, Sam walks away right away, but given the Kevin situation, I would need to process that first, before working on the rift between Dean if I were Sam. Talking about Bartholomew briefly. First, it’s Bartholomew, like the one with the Oobleck. Yeah, he wasn’t exactly the most well-defined villain, leaving feelings that are neither cold nor hot. So, since he is lukewarm, upon Castiel spewing him out of our mouths, we have no strong feelings on the matter. I will say I like how Castiel rejects every opportunity to kill old Bart, until he has no other alternative. Thank you, Jess, for this most excellent reaction.
