Supernatural: Like A Virgin
February 5th 2011 21:35
Sam’s back! After all season of Soulless Sam, Real Sammy is finally FINALLY back, and he doesn’t remember a thing after the field.
After Castiel determines that Sam’s soul is back in place, he warns Dean that if he wanted to kill his brother, he might as well have done it outright, because Sam’s soul felt like it had been skinned alive. But when Dean heads upstairs to talk to Bobby, who’s got a possible new case (plane crash involving a couple-guy found 17 miles away from the plane, girl missing), and Sam suddenly just walks in, both Dean and Bobby are shocked. *Insert reunion we’ve been waiting for here*
Sam’s shocked to find out he’s been gone for a year and a half, and Dean’s determined not to let his brother remember any of it. Not only because it was horrible, but because he’s afraid that remembering will bring the wall Death put up crashing down and kill his brother. So far it seems like the wall’s working. Sam remembers nothing, and he wakes up feeling pretty good and very hungry. It’s better than Dean could have hoped. Bobby, on the other hand, still isn’t quite over the fact that not ten days ago Soulless Sam tried to kill him. Dean reminds him that it wasn’t Sam, but Bobby’s still having a hard time looking Sam in the eye. When Sam comes out to the car wanting to go right to work, Bobby quickly makes an excuse (he forgot he promised Rufus he’d man the phones today), and tells Sam and Dean to go on without him. They’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
On the drive to the case, Sam asks Dean why he didn’t even try to live a normal life, he promised, remember? Here, he’s been gone a year and Dean’s still the same. Dean quickly shakes it off, telling his brother that he was with Lisa and Ben for a year, but it just didn’t work out. He leaves it at that.
Delving into their first case back together as Sam and Dean, brother’s in arms and together on the same side (talk about a breath of fresh air!
), they find out that all the missing girls are virgins. When a girl is attacked but not taken, she tells them that her attacker looked like a giant bat.Totally confused, Sam and Dean call on Bobby for help. What does he know about dragons? Bobby scoffs, saying they don’t exist, but Dean asks him to make some calls. “To who?” Bobby asks sarcastically, “Hogwarts?” As usual, he comes through though, remembering a woman who could help them. As Dean goes off to talk to her, Sam stays back to try and figure out where these dragons are hiding out.
As Dean hilariously battles with the sword in the stone (you need a sword forged with dragon’s blood to kill a dragon—a sword Bobby’s old friend (?) just happens to have), Sam calls Bobby. He figures out that the dragons are holed up in the sewer, then asks Bobby what’s wrong. He’s been acting really weird, is there something Sam should know about this past year? Bobby tries to shake it off, telling Sam it has nothing to do with him, and hangs up. Confused, Sam calls on Castiel, who shows up very relieved to see Sam alive. He walks over, slightly stilted to give Sam a hug, but Sam quickly sits down.
“I would hug you, but…”
“That would be awkward,” Castiel agrees.
He goes on to ask Sam how it feels, and, when Sam asks, how what feels, Cas answers, “To have your soul back of course.” Sam is shocked. He was walking around a year without a soul?! The news brings shocked tears to his eyes, but Sam pretends like he knows, telling Castiel that it feels pretty good, but he’s still a little hazy on the details…
Finally resorting to blowing up the rock since he can’t pull the sword out, Dean grabs the broken part of the sword he’s managed to pry loose (“You have insurance on this, right?”), and with Sam, heads into the sewers, where they find a stash of gold. Yep, dragons. They also find an old book, when they are looking at when they start to hear voices. They follow the noise to a cage where the missing girls are, and as they’re trying to get them out, two men/dragons (as in they can heat up their hands with fire and have collapsible wings on their backs) attack. They fight, get thrown around, lose the sword, grab the sword, kill a dragon, and the other one disappears. The girls are safe.
Packing up, Sam gives Dean a tortured look, then finally tells his brother he’s so, so sorry. “For what?” For everything. He tells him that Cas told him what happened, and Sam is seriously sorry for everything he did to Dean, to Bobby…Dean reminds him that it wasn’t him, but Sam can’t help feeling guilty for basically burning down the city without remembering it. It might not have been him, but he’s still the one with the Zippo in his pocket. Dean tells him that he can’t try and remember, because it might literally kill him.
Sam and Dean are back.
Reconvening at Bobby’s, Bobby tells them that the dragons’ book is old, like, made-of-human-skin old. It’s going to take him forever to translate it all, but he’s figured out enough to realize that it’s an instruction book. One on how to open a door to Purgatory…
Meanwhile, the remaining dragon/man who escaped Sam and Dean meets up with another on an abandoned road. The other man opens the back of his van. More girls. They grab one and shove her forward. Today’s her lucky day. They lead her to the edge of a very dark, very dangerous cliff and shove her off into the fire below.
According to Bobby, he’s got a name. “Mother.” Sam and Dean look at him. What does it mean? He has no idea.
“Mother” arises from the fire. She’s ready to begin.
Dean: As far as I'm concerned, it's a gifthorse, and I'm not looking for teeth. I'm sending Death a damn fruit basket.
~*~*~
Sam: What was that?
Dean: One part age, three parts liquor.
~*~*~
Castiel: Sam, it's so good to see you alive.
Sam: Yeah, you, too. (Castiel starts for a hug, Sam sits) Um, look, I would-I would hug you, but -
Castiel: That would be awkward.
~*~*~
Castiel: You know it’s a miracle it didn’t kill you.
Sam: Yeah…yeah, it’s a miracle all right.
Castiel: So how does it feel?
Sam: What?
Castiel: To have your soul back, of course.
Sam: …Right, you mean cuz I was walkin’ around with no soul…
~*~*~
Bobby: They're not like the Loch Ness Monster, Dean. Dragons aren't real.
Dean: Could you make a few calls?
Bobby: To who? Hogwarts?
~*~*~
Dean: (reading from Penny's diary) I've decided. I'm going to give Stan my most precious gift.
Sam: Wow, that sounded really creepy coming out of your mouth.
Dean: I think I delivered it.
~*~*~
Sam: So what kind of thing likes virgins and gold?
Dean: P. Diddy?
Sam: You know, it's comforting.
Dean: What's that?
Sam: I died for a year, came back, and you're still not funny.
Dean: Shut up, I'm hilarious.
~*~*~
Bobby: They're not like the Loch Ness Monster, Dean. Dragons aren't real.
Dean: Could you make a few calls?
Bobby: To who? Hogwarts?
~*~*~
Dean: You rocks think you're so smart.
~*~*~
Dean: (holding up broken sword) You’ve got insurance for this, right?
~*~*~
Dean: Hey Sam, ask me what time it is.
Sam: Why don’t you just cut to the chase and roll in it.
~*~*~
Sam: Dean?
Dean: Yeah.
Sam: I am so…so sorry. I can’t even begin to say…
Sam: For what?
Dean: You know what.
Sam: Did Bobby?
Dean: Cas. He’s like a child.
Sam: You should have told me, Dean.
Dean: You weren’t supposed to know.
Sam: What I did? To Bobby, to you? Of course I should know.
Dean: Sam, Death didn't just shove your soul back in, okay? He put up the Great Wall of Sam between you and the things that you don't remember. And trust me when I say that the things you don't know could kill you. That's not a joke!
Sam: Right, but I have to set things right. Or what I can, anyway.
Dean: It wasn't you!
Sam: You know, I kind of feel like I got slipped the worst mickey of all time and I woke up to find out that I had burned the whole city down. And you can say it wasn't me, but I'm the one with the Zippo in my pocket, you know? So I'm not sure it's that cut and dry. And look, I appreciate you trying to protect me, I really do, but I gotta fix what I gotta fix. So I need to know what I did.
Dean: Do you know how dangerous that could be?
Sam: What would you do?
~*~*~
Sam: What language is it?
Bobby: DaVinci Code?
~*~*~
Bobby: It’s Monsterland. According to this, it goes by many names, most of which I can’t pronounce, but I’m thinkin’ you know Purgatory.
Sam: Purgatory?
Dean: Awesome. Well that is, good to know.
~*~*~
Dean: So, how do you open the door?
Bobby: Ask Cloverfield, I’m pretty sure he’s got that page.
~*~*~
Bobby: This is all about openin’ a door to let something in.
Sam: Bringing something here? What?
Bobby: I’m workin’ on it.
Dean: Can you give us something?
Bobby: I’ve got a name.
Dean: Ok…
Bobby: “Mother”?
Sam: Mother? Mother of what, mother of dragons?
Bobby: I wish. It says it a few times here, “Mother of All”.
