Really, I wouldnt have minded waiting a week in between these episodes. Or even a summer. It was almost like watching the finales of two different seasons. Dean becomes emotional in that scene: vacillating between angry and heartbroken. I hate you…but I love you....

He directed last yearsOuija: Origin Of Evil, a sequel to the not-very-much-loved Hasbro tie-in horror from 2014....
