"Supernatural" Recap: On the Run

Episode opens with a scene from Reservoir Dogs: Sammy and Dean walk into a bank, rob it and massacre everyone, taking care that they are captured on all the security cams. (RED flag!) Turns out, they are not Sam and Dean, but Leviathans dressed as Sam and Dean (Henceforth referred to as Honey Bunny and Pumpkin respectively, to avoid confusion with real Sam and Dean).

Agents Cuddly Bear and Rookie Cop

This puts FBI Agents Cuddly Bear and Rookie Cop hot on their trail.

Meanwhile, a completely sane real Sam, a completely sober real Dean and the only Bobby, are trying to get their captured cheese-eating Leviathan, Chet, to talk. After many failed torture attempts, Chet offers them a crash course in Leviathan 101 – they aren’t scared of anything, they can’t be killed, they retain their vessels’ memories (something we all knew), plus, they don’t need the entire body to replicate – even a little DNA is enough (something we didn’t know). He also gives them a heads-up about Honey Bunny and Pumpkin’s quest to make the Winchester brothers the Most Wanted people in America.

Though Sam and Bobbyare all for burying their heads in the sand and hiding till everything blows over, Dean is keen on working, i.e. hunting. (Talk about being a workaholic)

The guy saves your life one time. And what? You owe him the rest of yours?

Which brings them to the Bobby’s friend Frank Deveraeux, a paranoid counterfeiter, who gives them new identities and a map of all the places HB and P have hit. Frank also suggests they lose the completely associative and easily identifiable Impala (gasp! No Baby‼), to which Dean has the perfect answer, “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”

Of course, he defends his knowledge of “Baby” by claiming it to be a Patrick Swayze movie (and if you don’t know who that is, you can place your gay cards on the table and slowly back away). Then he proceeds to lip-sync with Air Supply’s “All Out of Love”, while looking extremely guilty (now I know who the third witness at that Osiris Trial really was!)

Finally, Sam finds a connection between all the places HB and P have hit. They are retracing Sam and Dean’s steps in Season 1, in order of the episodes. Jensen Ackles wasn’t kidding when he called this season a shout-out to the First season. And somehow, with the help of flashback videos and an Unforgettable memory, the brothers deduce that HB and P are about to hit a Conner’s diner in St. Louis.

And sure enough…

Pumpkin and Honey Bunny are already in place, comparing which of the two brothers is more screwed up. According to Pumpkin, Dean believes burgers are as good as sex (Hey! Don’t knock burgers, you stupid Leviathan), has a severe hero complex, thinks he is a comedian, and has great hair; while HB with his Satan-vision and broken Hell-Wall is the clear winner. Then, HB offers an interesting bit of trivia from back home. “I had a brother with this many issues once. You know what I did? I ate him.”

HB is way more sympathetic about Sam than P is about Dean, and lovingly refers to him(self?) as Schizo. But P reluctantly reminds him that “Boss wantsthemgone.” I’m pretty sure Honey Bunny and Pumpkin are the gay Leviathans who ate the swim team, (back in ep. 702

Though watching Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki insulting Dean and Sam is like watching Sean Connery insult James Bond, all good things must come to an end. So HB and P "Tarantinize" the diner, while filming themselves, then proceed to Ankeny, Iowa.

The brothers discover St. Louis has been hit, and they too proceed to Iowa, the final destination (no pun intended).

Here the (real) brothers almost catch up with the Doppelgangers, but the cops arrest them, though not before HB and P find what they were looking for, i.e. the Winchesters.
