Supernatural 3.14 Long-Distance Call
Posted Thursday, May 1, 2008
At the never-seen Bobby's prompting, Our Intrepid Heroes head to the teeny little burg of Milan, Ohio, where several residents over the last couple of weeks have been receiving phone calls from their dearly departed, including an 84-year-old widow who's been phone-sexing her Korean-War-casualty husband, a teenaged girl indulging in late-night heart-to-hearts with her recently deceased mother, and some suit whose long-dead high-school sweetheart's incessant badgering leads him to splatter his brains all across the walls of his tastefully appointed home office. Oh, and that teenaged girl's dead mom? Wants her to swallow every sleeping pill in the house so they can reunite on The Other Side, and I'm sure that randy old broad's been hearing something similar in between orgasms, because Milan's actually been afflicted with a Crocotta, otherwise known as an irrepressibly chatty little beastie from ancient times there to snack on the souls of those sad little nitwits he talks into committing suicide.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, Dean becomes one of those sad little nitwits when he starts receiving messages from Daddy Winchester. It's The Croc masquerading as their dad. So, despite Sam's wise warnings against such stupidity -- especially given what's been happening in the town around them for the last fourteen days -- Dimwitted Dean follows Fake John's subsequent instructions to the letter and nearly gets himself killed. Happily enough, though, College Boy figures out what's really going on, and manages to off The Croc in a most delightfully grisly manner before any real harm's done.
And in the end, our somewhat battered Intrepid Heroes head back to this week's motel room to share A Moment over Dean's rapidly approaching demise at the hands of a demon or demons unknown.
It was an alright episode, but important in the fact that Dean really wants out of his deal. Only 2 episode left this season. Until next time,
Namaste!
