I did it! I'm writing a reaction on time. Woohoo. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to live tweet this episode because it looked intense, but I did. If you ever want to check it out, I do live tweet every episode on twitter @stephtuma
This episode was episode 16 of season 9 entitled Blade Runners. It was pretty intense. They tend to pack a lot of stuff in the later episodes of every season. We finally got some answers or at least mentions about some things we were introduced to earlier this season. Sam and Dean had a pretty normal dynamic, which was awesome. Sam even got protective over Dean, which is definitely something we don't see usually. I pretty much can't get into it without spoilers, so here we go.
SPOILERS!
It started out with Dean calling Crowley, well trying to. He didn't answer. The caller id for Dean was "Not Moose" LOL But the fact that the king of hell has a cell phone is funny enough. "Too busy inflicting pain to answer, please leave a message" Crowley eventually gets back to them and tells them he has a problem. We see that he is shooting up human blood and has an accomplice, Lola, helping him get it. But Lola is really running things back to Abaddon, so Crowley kills her. But we see him experiencing humanity and emotions from the blood. The boys give Crowley an intervention and tie him up to detox. They were yelling at him and lecturing him, which was hilarious. Dean exclaimed, "You just gonna let hell go to hell?"
Crowley also mentioned in a human-blood drunk stupor the first blade to Lola so Abaddon is aware it exists. The boys all set out to try to find it. Along the the way, Sam and Dean call a demon and draw a devil's trap to catch it to interrogate it. Low and behold, they catch Snooki, which was just funny. She is so short, but looked even shorter next to Sam & Dean/Jared & Jensen. (Speaking of which, Dean just looks more attractive every episode I swear. Don't get me wrong, I like Sam, too, but he needs to do something with that hair. I like season 1 hair lol) They ask her a few questions and exorsize her. We find out even the loyalists in hell are ready to join Abaddon's side. Which is not good for Crowley.
They talk to a few people as FBI agents because they find out it may have gotten sold at an auction, which is weird to me. (one a man who Crowley quickly possessed to find out info and the other a cougar at a museum that flirted with Dean) They do some research and Crowley tells them how one men/man of letters is still around. They go to this field where they talk to him (although they can't see him) and he does a spell to open a portal to transport them into his mansion. He sends two vampires I believe to see if Sam and Dean were worthy and they quickly kill them. They tell him they are looking for the blade and after a little chat, he tells them it is behind him. Then he uses a spell to make Sam disappear, which we find out AFTER commercial is just back in the woods.
So Crowley and Sam work to get a spell to get in the mansion since it is sealed otherwise. Dean is stuck there because the guy wants to keep him. He is a real creep. He has a collection of all sorts of things and people and was excited Dean had the mark of Cain to be a set with the blade. He puts the first blade in Dean's hand and we can see the mark burning and Dean clearly experiences feelings of some sort. Sam and Crowley get in, Sam holds the guy hostage, but we find out it's a shapeshifter. While the real guy is cutting Sam, Crowley unties Dean, who kills him. And then he can't put the blade down and it consumes him, but luckily he does. I can see how this is going to be a problem in the upcoming episodes. It is doing something to him and I am afraid it is going to be bad. But at least this time, he controlled it.
They get back out to the car and see someone keyed Baby, which is not ok to Dean. It is a message for Crowley. Sam tells Dean they have no use for Crowley now and should kill him. Crowley either hears or knows something is up because he confiscates the blade and says he will give it back to Dean when he kills Abaddon. But they could kill Crowley with any angel blade or demon knife, right? So I don't know how that will fully stop them. But they do need the blade to kill Abaddon, which I want them to do. I really hate her. But I'm still mad that they brought her back in the first place. I am sure it is going to get MEGA intense.
