Supernatural: Mystery Spot
February 15th 2008 22:22
“Rise and shine Sammy!”
Sam and Dean are forced to relive Tuesday over and over again, much like Mulder and Scully were forced to relive Monday in The X-files or Bill Murray was forced to relive Groundhog Day. In this case, Sam’s the only one who remembers what happens, and is forced to watch his brother die every day over and over again!
The first Tuesday, the boys wake up to Asia’s “Heat of the Moment” (to which Dean lip syncs), brush their teeth, get breakfast, go to visit this Mystery Spot in Broward County, and Dean ends up getting shot. Sam runs over to his brother, completely shocked.
This is definitely not how it was supposed to happen! As poor Sammy watches Dean die in his arms, he suddenly wakes up again to…”Heat of the moment…”
The next Tuesday, Sam officially tells his brother that he’s freaking out, that he thinks he’s caught in some sort of Groundhog Day loop! Dean Says it’s crazy and Sam interrupts, “Dingo ate my baby crazy?” When Dean asks how he knew he was going to say that, Sam says because he said it before. When he starts freaking out again:
Dean: Calm down.
Sam: I can’t calm down! I can’t calm down! I can’t because…
Dean: Because what?
Sam: Because you die today.
Dean: I’m not gonna die. Not today.
Sam: Twice now I’ve watched you die. And I can’t. I won’t do it again, okay? You’re just gonna have to believe me. Please.
Dean: Alright. I still think you’re nuts, but whatever this is we’ll figure it out.
They go outside, meet the same tied up dog, guys trying to move furniture, and girl who always bumps into Dean, and Sam tells his brother that he dies at the Mystery Spot if they go at night. Dean shrugs, says, “Okay we’ll just go now” and steps into the street. Sam quickly grabs his brother and pulls him back just before the car whips by.
Dean: Whoa-ho! Wait did he…?
Sam: Yesterday, yeah.
Dean: And?
Sam: And what?
Dean: Did it look cool like in the movies?
Sam: You peed yourself.
Dean: *smile disappears…after a second* Of course I peed myself! A man gets hit by the car you think he has control over his bladder? Come on!
Sam and Dean go to talk to the owner of the Mystery Spot and Sam tells him flat out that there’s something weird going on and he wants to know what it is. The owner confesses to other things, none of them offering any help. Dean decides that if every day he dies and then Sam wakes up and it starts over again, all they have to do is make sure he doesn’t die! If he can make it to tomorrow, maybe the loop ends. He decides they should grab tome takeout, head back to the hotel, and wait till midnight.
Dean: Who wants Chinese? *takes a step and--BAM!—a piano lands on him*
The look on Sam’s face is so helplessly sad!
All this happens before the first commercial break. Nice job Supernatural!
The next Tuesday, Sam decides maybe the Mystery Spot isn’t the reason for the loop. Dean decides they need to start making it a different day already. He changes his bacon to sausage…and chokes on it.
“Heat of the moment…”
Dean: *in shower* You mean we can’t even go out for breakfast?
Sam: You’ll thank me when it’s Wednesday.
Dean: Whatever that means…*sound of slipping in a shower* Ahhh!
“Heat of the moment…”
Dean: *taking a bite* These tacos taste funny to you?
“Heat of the moment…”
Dean’s electrified trying to plug in his razor.
“Heat of the moment…”
Sam has now ductaped the Mystery Spot owner to a chair while he takes an axe to the entire building!
Dean tells Sam that he’s probably done enough, but Sam’s determined to take it down to the studs. Dean sighs and stands up, walks off screen…
*off camera*
Dean: Sammy that’s enough. Give me the axe.
Sam: Forget it Dean.
Dean: Give it!
Sam: No you give it!
Dean: Let it go!
Sam: No!
Dean: Come on!
*more fighting, then SPLAT* Blood covers the ductaped owner.*
Sam: Dean? Oh no.
“Heat of the moment…”
A now very grumpy Sam tells his brother that he’s grumpy because he has to watch Dean die over and over every day and there’s nothing he can do to stop it! He tells him he knows everything that’s going to happen today, and when Dean says, “You don’t know everything...” Sam proves it in a very hilarious rapid-fire exchange:
Sam and Dean: Yeah right.
Dean: Nice guess.
Sam: It wasn’t a guess.
Sam and Dean: Right you’re a mind reader. Cut it out Sam—Sam. You think you’re being funny but you’re being really really childish. *beat* Sam Winchester wears makeup! *beat* Sam Winchester cries his way through sex—Sam Winchester keeps a ruler by the bed and every morning when he wakes up—Okay that’s enough!
Sam then goes on to tell Dean about every person in the diner. They go outside, and this time when Dean bumps into the girl, he goes back and gets one of the fliers from her. It’s a flier for the missing guy they were originally investigating. Sam runs off after his daughter, and Dean turns around and spots the dog.
Dean: Hey buddy! Somebody need a friend? *goes over* Good bo--*RUAWRAHH*
“Heat of the moment…”
The next day Sam shows Dean some research he’s done and Dean finds it funny that the guy died in an almost poetic fashion: The guy spent his whole time debunking mystery spots and then dies in one.
Dean: Kind of like just desserts.
Sam: You’re right. It is just desserts.*starts to leave…sees the remains of breakfast and strawberry syrup*
Wait a minute…The guy who’s had maple syrup the past hundred Tuesdays…
*Heat of the moment…”
“Rise and shine Sammy!” This Tuesday Sam doesn’t even bother to try and explain it to Dean. He just tells his brother to eat his breakfast while he goes outside, grabs the syrup guy and threatens him with a wooden stake to the neck. He tells him he knows what he is!
Sam: Don’t lie to me, I know what you are! We’ve killed one of your kind before!
*Syrup guy finally gives up and turns into…*
The Trickster: Actually bucko? You didn’t.
He goes on to tell Sam that, “This is sooo not about killing Dean. This joke? Is on you Sam. Watching your brother die, every day. Forever.”
He asks him how long it’ll take him to realize that he can’t save his brother. Sam says he’ll just kill him now and it’ll all be over. The Trickster tells him tomorrow will be Wedenesday, he swears. Sam says it’s just easier to kill him.
The Trickster: Sorry kiddo, can’t have that. *snaps*
Sam wakes up this time to “I’ll be back in time…” It’s Wednesday! When Dean tells Sam to turn off the radio, Sam exclaims, “What are you, kidding? This isn’t the most beautiful song you’ve ever heard?”
Dean: No. Jeez, how many Tuesdays did you have?
Sam: I don’t know, I lost count.
Sam asks Dean what he remembers, and Dean just says that he remembers Sam freaking out and the Trickster, but that’s about it. Sam tells him to hurry up and pack. As Dean’s loading the trunk, the kid from the diner shows up and pulls a gun on him. He orders him to give him his wallet.
Sam’s inside packing and *BAM* “Dean?” He runs outside and finds his brother in the parking lot. “No, no, wait. Not today, this isn’t supposed to happen today, come on.” He closes his eyes. Nothing happens. Sam: *trying not to cry* “So wake up...” Still nothing happens…
NOOOOO!!!!
*Cut to*
Montage of Sam hunting on his own and Bobby trying to get a hold of him. Sam is in a very dark place without his brother and doesn’t care about anything but finding the Trickster anymore. Bobby finally calls and tells him he found him.
Sam meets Bobby at the Mystery Spot, and tells him that the only way they can kill him is to get a gallon of fresh blood. Sam says okay, and Bobby just stares at him.
Bobby: You break my heart kid.
Sam: What?
Bobby: I’m gonna let you murder an innocent man!
Sam: Then why’d you bring me?
Bobby: Why? Because it’s the only way you’d see me! Because I’m trying to knock some sense into you, because I thought you’d back down from killing a man!
Sam: Well you thought wrong.
They fight some more and Bobby finally gives up. “You want your brother back so bad? Fine.*picks up the knife*. Sam just stares at him. “Bobby I’m not killing you.” Bobby says it’s better him than an innocent man, that he wants to do this because Sam and Dean are the closest he has to family.
After a moment, Sam agrees. Bobby turns around, “Just make it quick.” Sam pulls out the stake. “Fine. But you know why?” *stabs him* “Because you’re not Bobby.” Sam watches Bobby fall to the floor, expecting him to turn into the Trickster.
Nothing happens.
Sam: Bobby?...Bobby!
Bobby disappears and the Trickster shows up, laughing. Sam begs him to take him back to that Wednesday.
The Trickster: I could, yes. But that don’t me I should.
He tells him that he’s trying to teach him a lesson, that nothing good comes out of Sam and Dean’s sacrificing for each other.
The Trickster: Dean’s your weakness. And the bad guys know it too…It’s gonna be the death of you Sam. Sometimes you just gotta let people go.
Sam: He’s my brother…
The Trickster: Yup. And like it or not, this is how life’s gonna be like without him.
Sam: *teary eyed* Please…just…please…
The Trickster decides that the whole thing stopped being fun months ago. When Dean asks him what that means, he just says, “That’s for me to know and you to find out.”
*Snap’s fingers*
“Back in time…”
Sam wakes up. “It’s Wednesday.”
Dean: Yep, which usually follows Tuesday. Turn that thing off.
Sam forgets the radio, gets up and hugs his brother hard.
Dean: *After a surprised moment* Dude, how many Tuesdays did you have?
Sam: Enough.
Sam decides they need to go now. He won’t even let Dean go out to the parking lot by himself.
Dean: You don’t look so good. Somethin’ else happen?
Sam: Just had a really weird dream…
Dean: Clowns or midgets?
Sam just gives him a sad smile, takes one last look at the hotel room, closes the door, and leaves after his brother.
More Awesome Quotes of the Week:
Dean: Sam, you joints like this are just tourist traps right? I mean, balls rollin’ uphill, furniture nailed to the ceiling. The only danger is to your wallet.
Sam: Look, I’m just saying there are spots in the world where holed open up and swallow people. The Bermuda Triangle, the Oregon Vortex—
Dean: *sarcastically* The Broward County Mystery Spot?
~*~*~*~
Sam: The lore’s pretty freakin’ nuts actually. I mean, they say in these places the magnetic fields are so strong they can bend space time, sending victims…no one knows where.
Dean: Sounds a little X-files to me.
~*~*~
Sam: Man I had a weird dream.
Dean: Oh yeah? Clowns or midgets?
~*~*~
Sam: You don’t…you don’t remember any of this?
Dean: Remember what?
Sam: This. Today, like, like it’s happened before.
Dean: You mean like déjà vu.
Sam: No, I mean like…like it’s really happened before.
Dean: Yeah, like déjà vu.
Sam: No, forget about déjà vu, I’m asking you if it feels like we’re reliving yesterday all over again?
*after a long pause*
Dean: Okay, how is that not deja—
Sam: DON’T—just don’t say it!
~*~*~
Waitress: Are you boys ready?
Sam: He’ll take the Special, side of bacon, coffee—black. Nothing for me thanks.
Waitress: You got it.
Dean: *grinning* Sammy, I get all tingly when you take control like that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Such a fantastic episode! I love how many different Tuesdays were covered in such a short amount of time! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. And yes...I couldn't help but cry. It's just so sad when either of those guys cry! I don't want Sammy to end up like that without his brother.
And I definitely don't want Dean to die, of course. There has to be a way out of his deal, there has to be! I have to hand it to you cast and crew of Supernatural, this season has just keeps getting better and better! Can’t wait for the “all night Supernatural event” next week!!
