In an apartment a girl is on the phone complaining about the wiring. All her lights are flickering. Then black slime starts to ooze out of the sockets. It kind of reminds of the pink slime oozing into the bathtub in Ghostbusters 2, although admittedly this is much more sinister.
Well blow me! (Not literally) Sam and Dean have just identified the black slime as ectoplasm (the same substance from Ghostbusters!) I'm getting good at this! In fact, Dean even goes on to make a Ghostbusters joke when he decides that the Marshmallow Man must be behind the disappearances taking place in the apartment block.
It was Jo who put the brothers on to the case and now she's seems to want to get in on the action too when she pretends to be a potential buyer for one of the apartments. I think Jo's presence will come in helpful and it was mentioned that all the girls who went missing were blonde and Jo just happens to be a girl and blonde. Useful!
This is definitely not the episode you should be watching when you live alone in a flat!
I'm really enjoying this episode. So much so that I really don't want to keep stopping to blog.
I'm enjoying Jo as part of the investigation team. I think it actually works much better in the rare occasions when there are three of them and a female character balances things out nicely. It all got a but too testosterone filled when it was the bothers and their dad too.
Looks like I spoke too soon, Jo wondered off and got snatched by the thing living in the walls. Bugger!
A week has passed now since I started this blog entry. I really am falling behind with this. I did enjoy the episode though so that's a positive. It ended on a bit of a cliffhanger where I was terrified that Jo was going to be told that John Winchester was her dad! Fortunately that didn't happen but she did find out that her own father's death was due to John's negligence. As such she doesn't really want to keep on hunting with Dean and Sam which is a shame because I really liked her.
I also liked who they trapped the killer by encircling him in salt and then sealing up the entrance to the abandoned sewers with concrete. The "no exit" title suddenly makes a whole lot of sense!
There didn't seem to be a lot of Sam in this one. He was absent for large portions of the episode whilst things were left up to Jo and Dean. I wonder if Jared was on holiday for part of this episode. Or maybe the production of this episode was double banked with another so Jared was off filming a later episode which presumably will have not much Dean action in it. These things interest me way more than they should.
