Sincerest apologies for falling off the face of the Earth there for a minute. We in part blame the *gestures at everything*. But! We're back just in time for an episode that sure is an episode. Lots of conflicting feelings on this one.

Discussion includes: video games and books that are making us happy, do the kids say cringe anymore?, parallels to Duel, The Big Family Secret, Sam being the perfect lil shit of a lil brother, more Dean abandonment issues!, peak 2005 fashion, never sad to see Dean's back, when vulnerability backfires, trucks can't climb stairs, giving this episode a little more credit when it comes to what it was trying to say, tractor plot devices, playing chicken with a big racist truck, peepin' on some smoochin', and so much more.

Yes, it's a longer one, but for good reason. It's to hold all our many sad and heartfelt sighs. Spoiler alert, this ep is still a ten out of ten for both of us.

Discussion includes: TV nostalgia, "I have faith", splitting the party! again!, thirsting over Dean in a hospital bed oops!, getting a therapy diagnosis in real time, Dean's death resignation, The HOODIE, "I didn't pick you Dean, the Lord did", lots of dramatic sighing!! (what did I tell you), why won't the Winchesters ever just use their words, God save us from half the people who think they're doing God's work, devastation on about 485 levels, Jenga piles of guilt, and so (so so) much more!
