Series 2, Episode 12: Nightshifter

The drunken trilogy continues and we'll see if I can remember anything at all about this episode.

The story centres around another shape shifter. This one has become a bank robber. Because why not?

I can't quite remember how Dean and Sam find out about the case except that they have a meeting with a geeky paranoid guy (who I can find quite relatable) who knows something fishy is going on and later goes on a rampage around the bank with a gun (less relatable).

The brothers are caught up in the bank siege, having been investigating the bank in the guise of two security guards. Drink!

A bank customer is ordered to frisk Dean and Sam to make sure they are not hiding any weapons. If that was me I think I would have taken a good deal more care and time feeling all around them. Wow that sounds super pervy. But I guess that's what I meant anyway.

There were many scenes of various people being locked up in one of the bank's vaults and I argued that this counted as being locked away somewhere for purposes of the drinking game but Leanne wisely debunked this suggestion which was good as I'm not sure I would have made it to a third episode!

It was also a fairly big deal in this episode that Dean is a wanted criminal. Whilst this adds extra drama I can't help but think that it's going to start limiting the stories they can tell so I hope it gets resolved soon.

Overall an intense episode. Shape shifters are brilliant for creating intense moments of deciding who you can and cannot trust.

Also I can't not mention, there's only a bloody cyberman in the episode!! Okay it's only on the front cover of a magazine but even so!
