Episode 6x04: "Weekend at Bobby's"
Last season, in order to find out where Death was, Crowley needed a soul to bargain with, hence he got Bobby's soul (and gave Bobby back the ability to walk in the process). Bobby summons Crowley shortly after the non-Apocalypse and asks for his soul back, which is when Crowley pulls the "I'man asshole demon" card and says he only had to make his "best effort" to return Bobby's soul, as stated in the contract. In ten years, the hell hounds will come knocking on Bobby's door to drag his soul to hell.
Over a montage of "Know When to Hold 'Em," we see Bobby talking on the phones pretending to be FBI or CIA as well as counseling various hunters on what to do with their supernatural cases. Naturally, helping out extends to Dean and Sam who are stuck on a case with only some weird claw as a clue as to what it is they're hunting. Bobby does all the research, some of which involves breaking into the local library because he can't wait until they're open since the monster will get away.
Bobby finds out it's a Lamia and that one way to kill it is to get a silver knife blessed by a priest. Before he can tell Dean the second way, Dean hangs up without so much as a thank you. Yes, Bobby has a thankless job.
...and he also has a crossroads demon tied up in a chair down in his basement (a woman, naturally). His goal is to found out Crowley's name, his real name from when he was a human before the whole being sent to hell and tortured until he became a demon thing. Fun fact time: Apparently, if you can find a crossroads demon's human remains, you can destroy the demon by burning said remains. Guess what happens to the woman Bobby has tied to the chair? Yes, flambé.
Before he burns her to ash, he does manage to find out that Crowley is no longer King of the Crossroads, he's King of Hell. Seems his helping out the brothers wasn't just for self preservation (since Lucifer hated humans and would have killed all the demons anyway), he wanted to rule the whole joint.
Bobby has a new neighbor who picks then to drop by. Said neighbor apparently has a crush on Bobby, has brought him over some peach cobbler. When she hears the muffled yelling from downstairs, Bobby claims he's watching a horror film, which leads to this pretty funny exchange:
Neighbor: "Oh, have you seen Drag Me to Hell?"
Bobby: "...trying to avoid it."
After the neighbor invites Bobby over to take a look at her wood chipper (awww yeah~), he goes back to his torturing and learns that Crowley's name is Fergus McCleod (or maybe McCloud, I'm sticking with my spelling though).
Demon: "We call him Fergie the Leprachaun behind his back."
Bobby: "McCleod is Scottish you dumbass." (Cue crossroads demon barbeque.)
Rufus Turner shows up telling Bobby, "You gotta help me bury a body," seeing as the feds are tailing him. It's some creature from Japan (I never heard the name clearly, but I think it starts with an O). Naturally, it's a dead woman, a dead Asian (presumably Japanese) woman.

Dear Supernatural Writers,
Men can be evil monsters too. You don't have to have a dead woman every single episode. It's okay if we see a dead male monster on occasion too.
Also, women can shoot guns, fix a car, and kick copious amounts of ass.
Please to be considering this.
Love,
Jade

With the Lamia showing up on American soil after never having been seen or reported outside of Greece in all of history and now a supposedly Japan-only monster turning up Bobby asks, "Is it just me or are monsters being...weird?"
The feds turn up along with the Sheriff, who became BFFs with Bobby last season when dead people started returning from the grave. The fed is looking for "Rufus Turner AKA Luther Vandross AKA Reuben Studdard." (*Giggling so hard*) The sheriff convinces the fed to wait outside under the pretense of talking Bobby into a search of his property for Rufus.
Sheriff: "I didn't think you wanted [agent] in the house."
Bobby: "Well, yeah. I got a body in the basement."
Sheriff: "My point."
Bobby: "And one in my backyard."
The fed finds the spot where Rufus and Bobby buried the woman from earlier, except it's been dug out and there's no longer any body.
Bobby: (On the phone with Rufus.) "Did you stab her in the heart with a bamboo stick blessed by a Shinto Priest?"
Rufus: "I'm not an imbecile."
Bobby: "Did you stab it seven times?"
Rufus: "Five times."
Bobby: "...it has to be seven times."
Rufus: "No, I'm pretty sure it's five."
The monster goes after Bobby's nice neighbor, the one who has a crush on him. Said crush ends when Bobby rushes into her home with a shotgun and then gets in an altercation with the monster who he ends up putting through the woodchipper in an especially gorey (for primetime network television anyway) fashion.
Bobby: "I...I thought your chipper was broken."
Neighbor: "I just said that to get you over here."
And Neighbor no longer wants Bobby coming over to her place.
As a favor for cleaning up his mess (and also for helping him bury a body), Rufus digs up some information on Crowley. Fergus Roderick McCleod was born in Scotland in 1661. He had a son who captained a trading ship that sunk in 1720-something. There's a ring of his in Massachusettes, which Rufus goes to steal, but ends up with the cops on his tail. He swallows it (ew).
Dean calls Bobby to complain about Sam being different after his trip to hell. Dean winds up calling Bobby selfish to which Bobby has Dean put him on speakerphone so Sam can hear Bobby read him the riot act, reminding them that he is not currently in possession of his soul.
"And I'll be damned if I'm going to sit around and...be damned! How about you two sac up for once and HELP ME."
The sheriff gets Rufus extradicted back to their hometown, and Bobby boils the ring before he'll accept it from Rufus. He uses the ring to summon up Crowley's son to get information, then he summons Crowley and traps him in a blacklight devil's trap.
Crowley admits to running the show downstairs now. "You know there's days when I feel that Lucifer's 'smite everything with black eyes' plan wasn't a bad idea."
Naturally, Crowely has about as much love for his son as he did for Lucifer, but that's okay because the feeling is mutual. Crowley's son told Bobby everything, and I do mean everything.
Bobby: "I know it all now, Fergus. I know you sold your soul for an extra three inches below the belt."
Crowley: "Just trying to make double digits."
Bobby also found out where Fergus was buried, and it just so happens that Dean and Sam have hopped a plane to Scotland. (How they managed to find the remains after 400+ years is beyond me, but suspension of disbelief and all that.)
Crowley agrees to give Bobby back his soul, and Bobby gets to keep his legs working. Crowley is freed and collects his remains telling Dean and Sam, "Now, if you'll excue me, I've got a little hell to raise."
Oh yes, we'll be seeing him again.
Overall a pretty entertaining episode, and I like that it was Bobby-centric. It's also interesting to note that the episode was directed by Jesen Ackles, and I think he did a great job all things considered.
Tonight's episode has Dean becoming a monster. Right.
