Here comes Season 11, Episode 10: The Devil in the Details, where everybody is trying to get in somebody. Sam is forced to witness his awkward teenage years, we're forced to witness an Amelia flashback, and Cas is forced to wear the world's most awkward brand on his chest. Liz discusses the medieval torture device known as the Scold's Bridle, also referred to as the witch’s bridle, a gossip’s bridle, a brank’s bridle, or simply the branks. Hop on one foot indeed.
