A filler episode of Supernatural provides a damn good story.
This Supernatural review contains spoilers.
Sheriff Jody Mills gets to guest star in this episode too.
I enjoy seeing them interacting outside of a case.
Of course, the tone changes a bit when Jody gets the call to attend a funeral.
Jody is pretty hip to most of this hunter stuff now, but shes still an outsider looking in.
And Lorraine Fox, Asas mother, provides the grudging foil to Jodys understanding outsider personality.
was also so refreshingly evil.
Demons have become so darn commonplace in Supernatural that theyre almost window dressing.
J.L.s body-swapping, conniving mind games and twisted humor made demons scary again.
You see Asa fixing his Jeep, much to a friends chagrin.
You see him scoring many a date in the front seat of that Jeep.
You see his death scene, carefully edited.
Its only at the very end, when J.L.
One of those women Asa was with ended up being the mother of the twins.
We also needed that interaction between Mary Winchester and Billie.
Naturally, the Reaper who doesnt believe in second chances wants Mary back where she belongs.
Theres a tense moment when that closure is offered to Mary.
Its tempting bait, but Mary decides shell go back after shes good and ready.
Maybe seeing the cause and effect of how Asas life so positively affected so many that makes her decide.
Maybe its the opportunity to get to know her boys.
Whatever it is, Im glad Marys journey didnt end here.
