Creepy Rabbit-headed man attacks and slaughters a man who
both needs to treat his wife better and recycle a whole lot more (they filled
two of these bins? How often does the dustman pick up, quarterly?! SHAME!)
So far I’m team creepy rabbit mask.
Sam still seems to believe in his holy visions –
personally I think that you may believe in visions from god, but since this all
knowing, all powerful being is only sending cryptic useless nonsense, said god
isn’t trying to help, he’s just messing with you. He resorts to desperate
prayer to try and make sense of them. Dean is duly sarcastic. Dean very
reasonably points out they have faced the apocalypse(s… can apocalypse be
plural?) and god didn’t bother to stir from his cloud but now his sister is
running amok and he’s pulling out the visions?
Aaah, sibling rivalry.
Their research is also not helping and their angst is
interrupted by the very
fun Sherriff Donna calling them in to take care of the evil Bunnies
And greet them with hugs. She and her men have arrested
Bunny guy who is very strong –and the bunny head does not detach. She’s called
them in just in case they have a monster-headed bunny thing. Extra awkwardness with
a guy called Doug (the same name as her ex) is ridiculously unsubtle with his
crush.
Apparently murder bunny didn’t kill the wife, only the
husband. Jody is right, the bunny is freaking terrifying. After a series of bad
jokes the bunny nearly kills Dean with surprising strength.
They follow a tattoo and find the man’s girlfriend, Kylie
who identifies him from the bunny mask, calls him Mike and doesn’t think he’s
the stabbing kind. It sounds like the mask cursed/possessed him.
Really?
Donna and Doug#2 decide to take Bunny Mike to the hospital
(and we have a terrible moment where Donna tries to prove she doesn’t need help
from a man by… needing help. Two person job Donna, regardless of gender, bunny
mike is a big guy). When Bunny Mike wakes up and attacks Donna, Doug shoots
him. The mask comes off and they see a normal 19 year old boy.
Definitely cursed mask. They burn it.
Ok waaaay too early in the episode for that to be it.
Yes, time for another costumed rampage – this time a
Harlequin beating a coach into a coma. The Winchesters investigate the scene
and the newly captured killer and ditch cursed masks – it’s POSSESSED masks.
Evil murderous ghost possession. The possessed person (Kylie in this case) can
be de-possessed with salt. This leaves Donna with the difficult decision to let
her go since Kylie is innocent – even though it does make her look inept.
They track down the woman who donated the costumes who
gave them away after her brother, a party entertainer, committed suicide.
Except that man, Chester, was cremated – so maybe he’s haunting the costumes
which all need burning – which Donna handles while Dean and Sam try to figure out
why Chester’s ghost wanted these people dead.
Especially when an evil clown finishes off the comatose
Coach in hospital – it certainly looks targeted. Sam, with his hefty
coulrophobia (I still question whether fear of clowns is an “irrational” fear.
Clowns are creepy and wrong) ends up on site and fighting the clown in a lift –
depossessing the man. Which means another innocent person goes free and makes Donna
look bad even as they have to convince Doug that random killers in costumes are
totally understandable. Especially since Donna has issues with Doug and is
making him pay for her awful ex.
Dean continues to interview Rita, Chester’s sister and learns
that both the dead men accused Chester of molesting their kids – which drove
Chester to suicide. When pressed Rita admits that she came to doubt her
brother, especially with her son – and she told the two dead men where Chester
would be working and they threw him off the bridge. It wasn’t a suicide.
After the admission her son, Max returns, wearing Chester’s
last costume trying to kill Chester’s last killer- Rita. A little salt and he’s
quickly depossessed and the last mask can be burned. Time for an old school
salt and ghost fight before Sam burns the costume and banishes the ghost.
Before they leave they acknowledge Donna as a hunter,
having been through three cases. She also apologises to Doug and praises him.
And we close with more cryptic crypticness of Sam’s
visions – he
realises his visions are of Lucifer’s cage. Dean thinks messing with the
cage is an epicly bad idea. Such a very very very very very bad idea. Such a
terrible idea.
It says everything about Supernatural that when I see Donna or Jody appear I worry that this
will be the episode when they die a horrible death so Dean and Sam can practice
their over-used angst faces
And I still want to Donna and Jody to get a spin off
series.
Though, Donna didn’t really do anything except be the odd
comic relief now and then. While I can understand not wanting to repeat Jody,
she wasn’t funny enough or interesting enough or human enough (she was far
better in the last episode) or particularly compelling in any way to really
explain to me why she was even there. I think she works far better bouncing off
Jody than alone trying to be fluffy andf
Is it odd that the rabbit-mask is waaaaay creepier to me
than anything else this show has ever managed to produce?
Still the episode was very classic Supernatural which I kind of liked – it’s been a long time since
the Winchesters have fought a vengeful spirit
