Supernatural: “Slash Fiction” – Don’t Hate Me Cause You Ain’t Me!

Hello again Supernatural fans,

Season seven, episode seven “The Mentalists”, airs on Friday 11/04/11 9pm ET.  Per The CW, here is the episode synopsis.  “Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate the gruesome murders of resident mediums in Lily Dale, the most “psychic” town in America.  They discover that an angry spirit is killing off the psychics one by one, but in a town full of people who claim to be summoning spirits, they have a little trouble identifying the medium controlling the ghost.  Mike Rohi directed the episode written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker.“

Slash Fiction:

Okay SPN family, the episode begins with Sam and Dean going into The First Bank of Jericho looking for change for a large bill.  Something is not right from the jump and it is extremely noticeable.  Dean is flirting with the teller.  Well, that seems normal enough.  Then he pulls out a fully automatic assault weapon and tells her he needs all her money.  Sam and Dean open fire in the air.  This is a stick up!  Something is really not right here.  They put all of the bank employees inside the vault, Dean winks at the surveillance camera and they annihilate them.  They love what they are doing.  What the $%@&?  Open credits.

Back at the house that Bobby (Jim Beaver), Sam and Dean having been staying at, Bobby is working very hard to torture Chet the Leviathan (Sean O. Roberts).  He has yet to find what hurts these things.  Chet is chained in iron chains to a chair and Bobby has tried everything that works on demons, ghosts, and anything else they have stood against.

Wait a minute…Sam and Dean come down the stairs.  How can they be in Whitefish, Montana and be in Jericho at the same time?  Something supernatural is definitely going on here.  Chet explains that Leviathan cannot be killed and that he is the least of their problems.  He asks them if they have seen the news.

Bobby, Sam and Dean go upstairs to watch the news and see that Sam and Dean Winchester are now the subjects of a manhunt in the state of California for what happened at the bank in Jericho.  Chet says the Leviathans were able to carbon copy Dean and Sam using hair left behind in the shower drain of the last motel they were at.  These Leviathans are so intelligent and capable of almost anything.

The brothers are gung ho about going after these things and solving the problem.  Bobby lets them know he is against this idea.  If they are dead set on it then they need to see a man named, Frank Devereux (Kevin R. McNally) who is crazy, but owes Bobby a favor.  In the meantime, Bobby will continue to try to figure out what kills or hurts Leviathans.  Chet is the test dummy.

The real Winchester brothers stop for gas and to grab snacks.  The clerk recognizes them as the fugitives.  They realize it and take off!!!

The FBI shows up at another bank shooting because the boys have struck again.  Agents Morris and Valente (Morgan David Jones) are working the case.  According to their foreknowledge, the brothers were dead days before all hell broke loose and they have gone on a killing spree.  They do not know what is going on.  Agent Valente gets a call saying the Winchester’s were spotted at a gas station about 1,000 miles away.

Sam and Dean arrive at Frank Devereux’s house.  He is not answering the door.  They walk in looking for him and when they find him he is staring at them with a beautiful shotgun with special attachments.  He realizes these two guys could not be the same two that he just saw on TV.  He apologizes for their issue, but wants to know who sent them.  They tell him bobby Singer sent them and he is less than pleased.

Frank commences to shred Sam’s and Dean’s old fake ID’s.  He tells them they could flee, but they are not going to do that.  So he really breaks their hearts and tells them they can no longer use rock star names as aliases.  Ugh!!!  What will we do with a couple of Smith’s?  I do not like where this is heading.

Frank advises Sam and Dean about what they need to do to stay under the radar.  He smashed Sam’s laptop to pieces.  He smiles and hands Sam a new one, then says they owe him $5,000 cash for his service.

Bobby is still at a loss about what wounds or wipes out the Leviathans.  Chet is taunting him.  Balls!  The spell Don Stark (James Marsters) put on Chet in the last episode is soon to wear off.  After some more poking and prodding, bobby cuts Chet’s head off.

Frank is still prepping the boys and gives them a map marked with all of the locations the doppelgangers have hit so they can see if there is a pattern.  He also tells Dean that if he needs to get rid of the Impala because Leviathan Dean and Sam are driving in one just like it.  You can just picture Dean’s face.

Bobby hears a knock at the door and with a gun he is prepared for it to be something not so good.  He could not have been more wrong.  It is none other than Jody…you know Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes)!  She looks very happy to see Bobby.  It looks to me like Jody kind of digs Bobby.

Bobby goes downstairs to check on decapitated Chet only to find Chet’s head has just reattached to his body.  Balls!  Bobby knew it would probably not be so easy, but at least it gave him some time to think.  So…he cuts Chet’s head off again.

It looks like the brothers left the Impala behind for what might be a Chevette.  Yikes!!!  There was a “My Little Pony” hanging from the rearview mirror.  Dean is pissed because “Baby” is on lockdown and they are stuck driving a jalopy.  Sam puts son music to help calm Dean down.  “I’m All Out of Love” is on and Sam apologizes, but Dean says it is okay.  It is hysterical because they show Dean lip-syncing passionately and Sam catches him twice.  I almost rolled on the floor laughing.

Sam begins to notice the pattern on the map.  He originally thought it was completely random, but now sees it is anything, but random.  These locations are places the brothers worked jobs in since the day Sam left Stanford.  They are also happening in order, leading Dean and Sam to believe the Leviathans want them to find them.  The next job should be in St. Louis.  Dean gets happy because Conner’s Diner serves the best burgers in St. Louis.

Now at Conner’s Diner, Leviathans Sam and Dean are complaining about one another.  Leviathan Dean is complaining that Dean really eats burgers everyday and thinks they are almost as good as sex.  He says he cannot stand Dean because of his hero complex and he thinks he is funny.  Leviathan Sam is complaining because Sam eats “dead plants with creamy goo” and says it is “like eating righteousness”.  He wonders how Sam is even able to walk around with all of the craziness going on in his head.  They do not know why Sam and Dean are a threat, but they are following orders to take them out.

It is so funny when Leviathan Sam tries to switch bodies with Leviathan Dean.  He says no because he likes Dean’s hair better.  They decide it is time to make another move.  Leviathan Dean tells a kid to turn the camera on, on his cell phone.  The kid ignores him until he pull out his weapon.  Video is started immediately.  They shout that it is a robbery.  It is a blood bath in the diner.

The real Sam and Dean are still driving and talking to Bobby on the phone.  He is telling them that chopping the head off a Leviathan will not kill them.  They hear Jody talk to Bobby in the background and it makes them smile.

The boys tells Bobby they are headed to St. Louis, but he tells them Leviathan Sam and Dean already hit St. Louis at a diner…Conner’s Diner.  They are killing Dean on the inside.  This means the next stop is going to be Ankeny, Iowa.

FBI Agents Morris and Valente arrive at Conner’s Diner to investigate.  The officer on scene shows them the video on the cell phone of the entire massacre.  At the end of the video they even say they were hitting Iowa next.

Bobby is back to experimenting on Chet.  He is going to try battery cables.  After Bobby’s arm touches Chet, he now takes on Bobby’s form.  He knows all about Bobby now.  Bobby, as usual, says “Balls!”

In Ankeny, Iowa Dean and Sam are crossing a street and guess who they see?  That is right, Leviathans Dean and Sam driving a black Impala with mean rims.  I was hoping for the license plate zoom in, but nothing.

They call Bobby to let him know they see them.  Law enforcement pulls up with lights and sirens because they have located the fugitives, except the real fugitives are right behind them watching the whole thing.  Leviathan Dean looks at Dean, gives him a wink, and then drives off.

Back at the house Chet, who now looks like Bobby, is calling Bobby out on all of his feelings.  Bobby is about to cut off his head again when some liquid drips through the ceiling onto Chet’s skin and it starts eating it away.  It burns and Chet is screaming to get it off of him.  Jody spilled some cleaning mixture on the floor upstairs and it dripped through.  Bobby runs upstairs, kisses Jody and asks her what was in the bucket.

Sam and Dean are being brought into the Ankeny Sheriff’s Office.  After putting Dean in a cell and Sam in an interview room, two deputies are leaving to go home.  Leviathans Dean and Sam see the two walking out.  I know you can guess what happens here.  They get out of the car.  Next thing you know those same two deputies are going back inside the building.  Another deputy asks them if they forgot something.  He gets his neck snapped and there we see a mouth of Leviathan teeth.

Dean convinces Sheriff Osborne (Michael Hogan) to let him make his one phone call.  He calls Bobby and he tells Dean to find anything with Borax in it because it burns them enough to, at least slow them down.  Bobby explains that they need to douse them with a mixture that includes Borax, which is found in most industrial strength cleaners and get close enough to chop off their heads.  Also, they must keep the heads separate from the bodies.

Sheriff Osborne hangs up on Bobby because he heard everything on speakerphone and thinks these guys are crazier than he did before.  He walks out of the area and sees a deputy eating another one.  He sees a second deputy walk out and then the two change back to looking like Sam and Dean.

I think maybe, just maybe he is starting to believe the insanity Dean and Bobby were talking about.  He walks back to the cell where Dean is and tells him he is not sure what he just saw.  He lets Dean out.  Dean tells him to gather all of the industrial cleaner he can find. Meanwhile Sam is handcuffed to a table in an interview room.  Leviathan Dean goes into the room to talk to Sam.  He tells him he is not Dean.  Uh oh!

Dean takes a gun from the devoured deputy.  He sees Sam, but it is really Leviathan Sam and he recognizes it fast.  He shoots him, but we have already learned that does nothing to a Leviathan.  Leviathan Sam knocks the gun out of his hands and slaps Dean, flinging him across the room.  Poor guys are always getting thrown against walls and furniture.

Leviathan Dean tells Sam that he has grown to hate Sam and Dean since wearing them.  He feels they can be anything they want, but they are so caught up in being good. Dean breaks open the glass of the Fire Emergency Axe so he can do some chopping.  Sheriff Osborne throws a bucket of cleaner on Leviathan Sam and gives Dean the chance to cut off his head.  Black stuff oozes everywhere.

Leviathan Dean is telling Sam that Dean thinks he is off his game and not all there.  Sam is wondering if Leviathan Dean just likes to play with his food before he eats.  Then the madness happens when he tells Sam that is why Dean did not tell him he killed Amy.  The look on Sam’s face says it all and that was exactly what Leviathan Dean wanted to see.  He has played with him enough and he is ready to eat.

Dean busts through the door, douses Leviathan Dean with cleaner and chops off his head.  Sam still looks shocked.  Sheriff Osborne agrees to make it look like the Winchester’s are dead.  He would rather lie than look crazy, anyway.  You can see the pain in Sam’s eyes about what Dean did and that he lied.

Sheriff Osborne is telling FBI Agents Morris and Valente that he shot and killed the brothers.  They asked to see the bodies and the Sheriff said the bodies were sent to the funeral home for cremation.  Agent Morris thinks this is totally insane.  Agent Valente says if there are no bodies, then there is no paperwork, which is something Agent Morris said to him earlier.  They leave the examiner’s office.

Jody and Bobby see the news on TV saying the Winchester’s are dead.  You can see the connection Bobby and Jody have, but Bobby seems to be holding back.  Why?  My opinion is that he is so scared to love again.  After all, he had to kill his demon-possessed wife that he loved dearly.

Bobby hands Jody a box, and tells her not to open no matter what.  The box has Chet’s head in it.  He tells her to toss it when she reaches the bridge.  I thought for sure they were going to have a passionate kiss, but instead he gently kisses her cheek.  She smiles at him and leaves.

The medical examiner is Sheriff Osborne’s daughter.  She questions her father’s lies to the FBI about the bodies.  She knows something is not normal because there is black ooze instead of blood.  What you know?  Agent Valente is back.  He is one of them!  A Leviathan!  The Sheriff and his daughter did not stand a chance.  Blood splatters on the walls and we can all imagine that he ate them.

With blood dripping down his chin and neck, Leviathan Agent Valente checks on the bodies and sees they have been decapitated.  He calls his superior and tells him what he has found.  The boss, Richard Roman (James Patrick Stuart) is not happy about the Leviathans being dead and the Winchester’s still being alive.

Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) appears in Richard “Dick” Roman’s limo wanting to create a partnership of some kind.  He even brings him muffins made of organic baby uvulas.  Dick is shooting Crowley down big time and doing some major name-calling.  He thinks demons are the lowest form of trash and says he would never work with Crowley.  Crowley is almost hurt because he feels that he brought the Leviathans here after finding the door to Purgatory.  Crowley vanishes after saying, “Keep the muffins.”

Sam and Dean are at a pier to possibly dump the heads of the Leviathans.  Sam is noticeably upset.  Dean wants to know what is wrong.  Sam makes him aware he knows about him killing Amy.  Sam cannot stand to be around Dean or even talk to him.  He grabs his things and tells Dean to go on without him.  Dean says he is sorry.  This is not the first time they part ways, but it is hard to see them walk away from each other.

I think Sam has every right to be angry with Dean because he lied.  Then again, when do these two ever tell each other the whole truth about anything?  I guess I am okay with all of this because the scenes from next week’s episode show the two working a job together.  These boys are going to kill me!!!

Oh and no zoom ins on the Impala’s Tag. 🙁

Funny quotes from this episode:

Bobby:  “Well if you’re going to be stupid, you might as well be smart about it!”

Frank:  “AT least have the common sense to ditch your car!”

Dean:  “What…uh…scuse me, what?”

Frank:  “Your dobulemints…they’re using a car just like the one outside.”

Dean:  (Just picture the look on Dean’s face here)

Sam:  “You ok?”

Dean:  “You know, it’s bad enough they’re ganking people wearing our mugs, but now this?  Us driving around in this caboodle while Baby’s on lockdown!”

Sam:  “It’s temporary Dean.”

Dean:  “Nobody puts Baby in the corner!”
