Supernatural Season 12 Episode 21
We prep for the season finale by seeing the tables turned on all of our favorite characters, from the Winchesters to Crowley. No word lately on Kelly Kline and her spawn, but that will certainly come to a head in the finale. I love the hunter who throws his bloody machete into an umbrella stand. Just normalizes the hunter life. The interactions between the Brits seems to indicate a polished system starting to fall apart. We got a sense of that with some flashbacks in previous episodes. The way that Dr. Hess interacted with her former students in this episode just furthered my belief that the British M.o.L is the real dying breed here. Then when a certain betrayal happens at the end of this episode, it cemented the dog-eat-dog mentality of the British M.o.L. The scene that followed in the bunker was a tense one. Although the Winchesters were quickly outnumbered, they pulled some serious secret-agent style moves to take out the guards flanking them and nearly save the day. It was incredibly well choreographed and belonged in a feature length movie. Then Mary showed up. The Brit Dicks from the Men of Letters have reached a new level when they brainwashed Mary into their own personal killing machine. I had a feeling Mary would be used against the boys, but never like this. Her last moments in the episode in the car are underscored with a dissonant twist on the classic Supernatural sad/happy/family theme. That whole scene with Lucifer playing a silent “Simon Says” with Crowley as the control passed from one to the other was priceless. Crowley is never living that down. Especially if he doesn’t get his vessel back and is stuck in that rat. You did notice he possessed the rat right before he was stabbed with the angel blade, right? All that brainwashing stuff makes me wonder — maybe the lovechild of Lucy isn’t Season 13’s villain. Maybe it’s Mary Winchester. A two hour season finale to enjoy next week. Get ready folks. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
