Rachel, Jen, and Lydia are joined by producer and special guest Paulina to take a quick look at "angelic effort" in the Supernatural episode My Bloody Valentine (and the original lore on Heaven's matchmaking) before digging into Dark Side of the Moon and just how fraught John and Mary's marriage was. Tangents include: the Chosen One trope, the Samulet, and the very promising early reviews that have rolled in for The Winchesters so far.

New episodes of The Prequel at the End of the Book are released every other Thursday.

Correction: In the intro of this episode we say that My Bloody Valentine was written by Ben Edlund and Mike Rohl. The episode was written by Ben Edlund and directed by Mike Rohl. 

Rachel, Jen, and Lydia kick the episode off with a last-minute, kind-of-live reaction to the new The Winchesters poster before breaking down the Supernatural episode The Song Remains the Same. Tangents include: first drafts, how the heck angels fit into all this, the many variations of Mary and John Winchester, and putting Dean in situations.

Rachel, Jen, and Lydia rewatch the Supernatural episode In the Beginning, which leads to wondering how much we see in the episode really happened vs. how much is Endverse-style meddling from Heaven. The gang also tries to unravel multiverse theory and Rachel elucidates on some excellent Jupernatural thoughts. Tangents include: Jearimy Bearimy, Mary Winchester's personal style, and the meaning of life.
