Supernatural Episode Recap: Ho-Lee Shit!

This episode, you guys. You guys, this episode. OMFG I didn't think this season would offer up any surprises. I was so wrong. Words cannot express the sucker punch this episode delivered.

Episode 6x05: "Live Free or Twihard"

Where do I begin?

Okay, first of all, it starts out ripping pretty hard into Twilight. We meet Christine (ahem, Kristen Stewart AKA Bella Swann) and Robert (ahem, Robert Pattinson AKA Edward Cullen) at a club where apparently Chrisitine has arranged to meet her bad boy. She gets a papercut and calls herself "the clumsiest person ever." "Robert" gets up and has to leave because, you know, blood. Lawl, it's almost word for word parody of Twilight.

Robert: "You think you know me, but you don't. I've done bad things. You should run. Now."
Christine: "I can make my own decisions. I'm seventeen."
Robert: "I have to show you something." (Flashes a vampire fang.) "Are you scared?"
Christine: "No."
Robert: "You should be."

LMAO so hard.

Anyway, the boy gets the girl to follow him to some dark alley and some other vampire appears and we learn, surprise, these are "real" vampires in that they're the horrible Supernatural vampires. The girl gets jumped and we presume, for now, she's dead or vamped.

Next scene we have Dean making a phone call to Lisa on his cell phone. He's within a night's drive of her and promises to visit. Both Lisa and Dean seem happy about this, and even Sam comments that Dean "seems stoked." (Yes, I mention this because it is important.)

Sam and Dean investigate "Christine's" disappearance since she is the seventh and most recent teenager to disappear in whatever city they're in. They talk to her father and go upstairs to her room which is decorated just enough to look like Twilight without getting McG and the CW sued.

Sam: "Vampires."
Dean: "No, these aren't vampires, man. These are douchebags."

Dean picks up a book that shows a woman sleeping while a man looks on. "Look at this. He's watching her sleep. How is that not rapey?"

They find the girl's laptop and Dean suggests "Lautner" as a password possibility. Sam responds, "But dude, he's a werewolf." ROFL, I was so enjoying this episode just for the constant jabs at Twilight.

The vampires are using Twilight to lure girls in, which is really quite brilliant on their end if you think about it. Except, the next scene we spot the vampires robbing a bloodmobile, so presumably they need to eat despite having kidnapped seven girls. Hmmm, how odd.

Sam calls Samuel who says it's the fourth town with this sort of pattern happening. Kids disappear and then a bloodmobile is robbed.

So anyway, Sam and Dean hang out at the bar where Christine met Robert. They watch, see a couple of dudes kiss one another and, by some process of elimination, pick out two two likely suspects. Sam has to go downstairs to follow his mark while Dean goes outside.

Here's where things start getting scary. A vampire comes up behind Sam and he doesn't even fucking blink, he just whips out the machete and the vamp drops to the ground minus his head. I mean, I can't even explain how, just, powerful that scene was.

Oh, but wait, this isn't where shit hit the fan. Go back to Dean who finds out his dude isn't a vampire, he's just wearing fake fangs and...

Dean: "Are you wearing glitter?"
Wannabe Vamp: "Yeah, it helps me get laid."
Dean: "And that works?"

As the wannabe runs away, Dean gets jumped by the older vampire we saw jump Christine (with "Robert's" help) earlier. Dean is thrown and then the vampire bites his arm to start giving Dean blood. But, oh wait, here comes Sam to...stop and watch Dean get fed blood.

No, seriously. And he even looks like he enjoys it. Here are my notes:

...and he just watches Dean getting fed vampire blood and does nothing until it's too late? WHAT. THE. FUCK. And he lets the vamp get away because you know he can fucking kill them without even blinking. He was freaking enjoying that shit.

As I just said on Twitter: WHAT. THE. FUCK. Did Sam just do that? Or, rather, NOT do that? O_O WTF is going on here?! #Supernatural

I mean, the look on his face. He was ENJOYING that. DUDE. O_O #Supernatural

Seriously, I wish I had a way to copy the whole #Supernatural list on Twitter. It literally EXPLODED after that scene. Everyone said WTF and I do mean everyone.

And that was when Twitter just exploded on the #Supernatural hash tag.

ETA: Here's the scene in .gif format where Sam gets that smirk that I was talking about. Bear in mind he's watching Dean get turned into a fucking vampire.



LOOK AT THAT SMIRK! HE IS ENJOYING THIS SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK?

Let me repeat: Dean is attacked where Sam can see and Sam can see Dean being fed vampire blood knowing it will make Dean a vampire.

Samuel is called in by someone and Dean suggests Samuel will kill him because he thinks that's what should be done. He's already feeling the effects of vampire blood; everything is too bright and too loud. At one point he says he can hear Sam's heartbeat and asks, "Why are you so damn calm now?"

Dean goes to the bathroom under the pretense that "vampires pee," but instead he sneaks out to Lisa's house and goes into her bedroom while she's sleeping. He wants to tell her good-bye, but that's hard because he really wants to drink her blood. He tells her he doesn't want to share his life with her because his life is "ugly and it's violent and I'm gonna die soon."

It looks like he's about to bite Lisa, but he leaves as soon as he pops a boner his teeth come out. And then he pushes Ben against the wall because he comes out to see what the hell is going on.

Samuel shows up and yells at Sam for letting Dean get out. "He's a monster and he's hungry!" But Dean comes back without having fed on any tasty necks.

Samuel says he can turn Dean back to human, but only if Dean doesn't ingest any human blood between now and when he can get some blood of the vampire who turned him. Fortunately, with his new super vampire senses, he can figure out where the nest is. Samuel gives him a syringe full of dead man's blood, enough to "drop a linebacker."

After he leaves, Samuel says Sam knew about the cure, but Sam says his grandfather is mistaken. Samuel accues Sam of letting Dean get turned so they can find the alpha vampire they're looking for. (Gee, because it's exactly what Samuel would do judging by previous encounters with him.)

"Look, I'm just relieved we can fix him." Oh, Sam, we're so not buying your bullshit.

At the nest the Edward-Clone/Robert says he knew Dean would be coming back and offers up a bag of donated blood. Dean refuses it and claims to have killed a lot of people on the way over. The Edward-Clone says they aren't allowed to kill people. Dean manages to avoid the temptation that is blood.

Turns out the guy who turned Dean is a huge pervert. The missing girls are there in cages and drinking the donated blood. The older vampire claims to be about six centuries old. He also says he's only implementing the plans of "their father." AKA the alpha.

Dean is about to stab the guy with the dead man's blood, but he hears Dean coming and stops him. Then Dean is saved at the last minute by the Alpha choosing to communicate with everyone, making thema ll pass out and dream. There's several visions that Dean sees, including two girls who look like the twins from The Shining, except their vampires.

Everyone comes to and the 600 year-old vamp lets the girls out and everyone starts going after Dean. Dean beheads the Edward-clone/Robert and then he just starts killing the women that come after him.

So Dean channels Blade while Sam and Samuel turn up to find him at the end of a trail of headless vampires. Dean is sitting with his foot on the older vampire's head.

Samuel: (Upon seeing all the vampire bodies.) "Looks like your brother has some Campbell in him after all."

Upon returning to the hotel where Samuel mixes up the cure, Sam tries to pry information from Dean about the nest. Meanwhile, Dean is trying not to kill everyone and drink their blood. He drinks the cure and while he's vomitting, he flashes back to being infected and he remembers seeing Sam. He remembers that Sam just stood there watching, even smirking a little bit (I swear that's what it looked like to me).

After he comes to the next morning, Dean explains that the alpha is putting together a vampire army and that, "They aren't afraid of us anymore."

Dean tries to call Lisa, but she's not answering her phone. Then, Sam and Dean share this exchange.

Dean: "At least, you got my back. No matter what happens, I can always count on you, right Sammy?"
Sam: "Yeah, of course Dean."

Oh, Sam, why? Why do you have to turn so evil and lie like that? God, this was painful to watch.

And next week's promo shows Castiel and Dean talking while Dean asks Cas what's wrong with Sam. And it looks like the brothers get into a physical altercation next week because this shit is going to come to a head.

Oh my god, next week is going to be tense.
