"Supernatural" Recap: Of Sandwiches and Leviathans

Open with a couple camping in the woods. Tucked in their respective sleeping bags, they watch TV for some time and finally, listening to the “sounds of nature” on their iPods, go to sleep. They are Glampers. (“High-end campers. Back to nature, zero inconvenience.”)

The husband wakes up in the middle of the night, to find himself strung upside down on a tree. Something crawls up his leg, and eats him through his sleeping bag, leaving behind a bloody mess. So much for zero inconvenience.

Welcome to The Pine Barrens, New Jersey, everybody‼

In another part of New Jersey, the Winchester brothers and Bobby are hiding in a run-down shack with no electricity. Dean complains of their living conditions, but Bobby and Sam maintain that until the Leviathans are through “running car traces like chatter” and hunting them down in God knows what ways, they have to lay low.

Bobby tries cheering him up, by bringing them a new case. But Dean couldn’t be more concerned. He’s tired of fighting a war that wasn’t even his to begin with. He claims that if it wasn’t for them holding the nuts and bolts together, the world would burst apart at the seams and maybe it’s time they stopped holding on. That is, until Bobby tells him to “stop trying to wrestle with the bigger picture.”

Back to the case, it seems something has been crashing the Glamping site. Many of the glampers are either missing or dead, and the newspapers are abuzz with rumours of the Jersey Devil – a mythical creature with bat wings, a horse’s head and a tail.

Ranger Rick

In Pine Barrens, the boys meet their local contact Ranger Rick, at BigGerson’s, the local deli, who seems practically stoned out of his mind. He tells them that he and his deputy Assistant Chief Ranger Phil have been finding leftovers of missing pets for the past few weeks and... Phil hasn’t been seen for a couple of days.

Just then Bobby comes in with additional details. Using Sherlock Holmes’ law, the hunters rule out Leviathans, Werewolves and Wendigo. Seeing that they have no idea what Jersey Devil really is, the hunters decide to go hunting. Literally.

But since they are already in the deli, and Dean is hungry, the hunters decide to have lunch first. Here, Dean crashes into a very hot-headed waiter, Brandon, who just can’t seem to keep his temper down. Being a risk-taker, he also tries his hand at the new limited edition “Turducken” sandwich.
