I won’t bore you with the actual recap. It’s more entertaining to watch the episode anyway. Plus, wouldn’t you rather just look at pictures of the boys, especially now that Castiel is in this episode? Yep, that’s what I thought. Warning: SPOILERS!
Here’s the Celebuzz flash review of the episode.
Buzz Moments
OMG!: Amelia’s (Liane Balaban) husband isn’t really dead? Really? Unless this show is planning to pay homage to soap operas next, we smell a set-up. Maybe she’s a little bit crazy (hey, we can hope!).
Thank you, TV gods.: Finally a bit more of a look inside Sam’s world. It may have been kind of ordinary for a show like this, but it certainly set up a bit more of an understanding for why Sam would leave Amelia behind.
Awk-ward: Castiel has partnered up with Dean and conducted fake police interviews before, but he seems to have not retained any usable skills. After all, even the rest home’s cat was mocking him!
Hotness: Even if he had a weird, open marriage, there’s something really nice about a guy who is so happy to see the girl of his dreams that his heart beats faster — and out of his chest.
Fab-u-lous: All of the cartoon effects were pretty sweet, but our personal favorite was easily the dynamite-candle-in-the-birthday-cake explosion.
Can. Not. Wait.: Though we generally prefer heavy mythology episodes over “case of the week,” it is latter episodes like this that make us eagerly anticipate the next homage standalone — what will it be!?
