Series 2, Episode 7: The Usual Suspects

I'm in a bad mood and I have a headache. As such I'm not sure I should be watching an episode of Supernatural right now as I may not look on it as favourably as it deserves. Just letting this be known in case this blog entry is full of grumbles.

A policeman is interrogating someone over a series of crimes including murder, breaking and entering, and grave desecration. We haven't been shown the person to whom the cop is addressing but given the list of crimes, especially the last one, I'm guessing that this might be Dean or Sam. I want to say it's Dean just because an episode in the last season started in a similar way with Dean so therefore I'm going against my judgement and going to guess at Sam. I'm going to look pretty dumb if it turns out to be neither of them.

It was Dean. Apparently he's tortured a girl too! I'm assuming this must have been some kind of demon. He doesn't seem to look too worried anyway. 

Oh my God! Just as I was formulating the idea that maybe Dean was exorcising a demon from a young girl and that was what the police were deeming as "torture" then who should walk into the room but Linda Blair!! The girl from The Exorcist. That's exciting. She's a police woman who seems to have been tracking down the brothers.


Time for a flashback!

Dean and Sam are investigating the muder of one of their dads old friends. He had his throat slit and the security cameras cut off at the time of the murder meaning it was either a spirit or a technical fault. I love how Dean and Sam automatically assume that an invisible spirit is the most likely explanation!

Breaking into the guys office they find out that before he was murdered he must have gone all out "Shining" mental, constantly typing out a woman's name. (Dana Shulps) All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy..

Dean has literally just made that exact joke. I swear I'm becoming more in tune with his character. Maybe I'll have to get a leather jacket like his. We are very similar characters in a way, except I don't feel the need to flirt with every woman that passes my way to cover up my homosexuality.

After being discovered at the murder scene of the guys daughter Dean is arrested leading to his predicament as shown at the start of the episode. Fortunately it's not long before Linda sees the ghost and, now a believer, she heads out to find Sam who can help save her life. I just hope she doesn't start vomiting pea soup everywhere like she did when she was a little girl!

There's something suspicious about Linda's partner. He's seems overly keen on pinning the blame on Dean. After discovering that the ghost is of a woman who dealt drugs and it is revealed that Linda and her partner used to work in that area my suspicion is that her partner (think his name is Pete) was somehow involved with her death.

The name DANA SHULPS is actually an anagram. Ashland street is where the woman was last seen. If you take ASHLAND out of DANA SHULPS you are left with PSU. I wonder if those are Pete's initials!!

Okay I think I was wrong about the letters but when Linda and Sam find the girls body they discover that she is wearing the same necklace that Linda is wearing. A necklace that Pete gave to her! I knew there was something dodgy about him! 

After confronting Pete (and killing him!) Linda lets Sam and Dean go free. Then came the bit that blew my mind! As they walked off together Dean asked Sam if she had looked familiar to him. Clearly referencing the fact that she was in the Exorcist. Then he says he's feeling hungry and is craving pea soup for some reason! This is getting weird now. I must be channeling my inner Dean to be constantly coming up with these references before he does. I really liked that ending. It was breaking the fourth wall a little but I don't care because it was funny.

Overall this was a great episode. Possibly this has been the best episode so far this season. And I'm feeling a little happier! The cider may have helped too.
