Supernatural: Bedtime Stories
November 2nd 2007 03:46
The Brother’s Grimm, on in this case Winchester investigate all your favorite bedtime stories and fairy tales in all their cannibalistic, slasher grandma goodness! That’s right, Sam and Dean show up in Maple Springs, NY to find an eerie similarity between the death of two brothers, and attack of another, and the story of the Three Little Pigs.
Posing as detectives, the brothers interview the last brother—where Dean tells him Sam’s the sketch artist—to find out it wasn’t a warewolf, just a normal guy. Dean starts to leave, and the guy asks Sam if he can see his sketch. Sam tells him it’s a work in progress, and shows him…a hilariously cute drawing complete with Wile E. Coyote tattoo!
Up next? Hansel and Gretel. Or in this case, a married couple who gets lost in the woods and winds up at a lovely little cottage with a charming old lady who invites them inside for pie…and then proceeds to drug them and carve up the husband with a rather large butcher’s knife. The woman gets away by knocking the old lady over, and catches a glimpse of a very Snow White-ish little girl standing outside. Once again, my theory that old ladies and little girls are scary pans out.
This new murder has Sam thinking…
Sam: I’ve been thinking about fairy tales.
Dean: That’s…nice. You think about fairy tales often, or…?
Sam gives his brother the typical Look, then tells him, no about the correlation between the murders and fairy tales, The Three Little Pigs, Hansel and Gretel…Dean starts to see it. The toad that they avoided hitting in while driving into town appears again and Dean tells Sam that whatever happens, he refuses to kiss a toad.
When the “Gretel” of the husband and wife team tells Sam and Dean that she also remembers a little girl with black hair and a white dress standing outside watching as the old lady killed her husband, Sam thinks it might be some kind of spirit hypnosis, maybe a trance. Dean’s response? “Trances I get, but Fairy Tale trances. That’s just bizarre.”
As they’re walking through the woods they spot a pumpkin in a window. A mouse runs by and Sam automatically thinks Cinderella. They go inside and find a girl who was handcuffed and beaten up by her stepmother. Dean catches sight of “Snow White” and follows her into another room, where she disappears in that ghostlike way, leaving a red apple in her place.
Back at the hospital, Sam and Dean try to find out if there are any little girls in comas. There aren’t. But there is the doctor’s daughter, who’s been in a coma since she was eight. They go to her room and find her father reading her from Grimm’s Fairy Tales. As he reads the story of Little Red Riding Hood, we see a modern day “wolf” attack a grandmother as she’s putting groceries into her van. He then steals the van and goes after her granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood herself.
Sam stays behind to try and figure out a way to stop the Snow White killer, and Dean goes off slay Big Bad Wolf. Of everything he’s seen, Dean decides that that statement is definitely the weirdest thing he’s ever said in his life. Haha!
Sam finally gets the doctor to realize what’s happening, and he finally lets his daughter go just in time to save Dean and the “Wolf” he’s fighting. The man wakes up with absolutely no idea where he is or why Dean’s about to stab him. Dean shrugs and lets him go.
After they watch the doctor leave, saying he knew he had to let her go, Dean tells Sam that it’s some good advice. Sam can’t believe that his brother is asking him to let him go. When they were driving into town (aside from the toad of course), they were arguing about whether or not if killing the Crossroads Demon would break Dean’s deal. Dean refuses to let Sam because if they try to break the deal “you’ll die.” To which Sam shoots back, “Yeah, and if we don’t you do.” Dean pulls a very dad-like, we’re not having this conversation anymore “because I said so”, and although Sam argues, they eventually let it go. Until later that is.
Sam sneaks out of the hotel while Dean’s sleeping and goes to see the Crossroads Demon. She’s charmed when he tells her he wants to make a deal: she let’s Dean out of the deal and they all get to live. If not? He’ll shoot her with The Colt right then and there. She laughs it off, telling him she’s “just a salesman”, that someone else will still hold The Deal. Sam struggles with believing her, and just when you think he’s going to back down and walk away…he shoots her in the head. Bye-bye Crossroads Demon. Once again, poor Sam.
