A young girl waits outside a professor's apartment until he comes home. She lies to him and tells him she is one of his students. Once inside she gets close with the professor who for some unknown reason decides to open the window when it's freezing outside. As they kiss she transforms into a disfigured woman (a bit like the woman in the hotel room in The Shining) and shortly after the professor is either pushed or jumps from the open window. He seemed a bit of a creep to be honest so I'm not that upset to see him go.
One week later and Dean and Sam are in another hotel room. The explanation of where their money comes from has still not been revealed but I'm promised that it does get explained so that's fine. What isn't fine is that Dean is tucking into a plate of delicious looking chips and I'm starving right now! Stupid diet!
Posing as an investigator Sam learns from students at the college that the building where the professor jumped from is supposedly haunted. The story goes that a girl was sleeping with one of the professors and when he broke things off with her she decided to take a leap out of one of the windows. It doesn't seem to be a big stretch to work out that this must be the girl that the professor saw at the start of the episode but it seems strange that all of this information would be revealed so early on. Therefore I'm thinking that there has got to me a twist in this tale.
The way this story is being told is really cool actually. Bobby has met Dean and Sam at the hotel and they are taking it in turns to tell parts of the story but hearing how things appear different from their differing points of view is pretty funny. For example Sam remembers Dean flirting with a girl who pretty much throws up in her own mouth because she's that drunk. When Dean begins to tell this part of the story he makes out that she was a really classy girl who he was having a few drinks with. Also for some reason Sam appears very camp in Dean's version of the story.
Okay that's enough gin and tonic for me tonight. I think I'm tripping out! This is the weirdest episode ever! First of all we've now got a young lad called Curtis who we see being abducted by aliens! Aliens! In Supernatural! I'm loving that.
When he is returned he says that he has lost time, blacked out, been probed, the standard alien abduction stuff. Then he reveals that the worst part was when they made him slow dance. This then cuts to a flashback of Curtis slow dancing with a little grey alien to the song "Lady In Red"! What the fuck is going on??
It's a Trickster that has been creating all these illusions and trying to turn the brothers against each other. I'm slightly disappointed that the slow dancing aliens aren't real but I guess that would have been a step too far and season 2 is way to early for the series to completely jump the shark in such a way.
I think the Trickster is a great idea and I was a little annoyed that he was so easily defeated at the end of the episode. Therefore when it was revealed that the death itself was also a trick then I was very happy. Can't wait to see this character again.
This may be my the best episode so far!
