In the twenty-second and penultimate episode of the seventh season of\u00c2\u00a0Supernatural<\/i>, Sam and Dean track down the two remaining types of blood they need to kill Dick Roman. Intrigued? Then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time for Mark to watch\u00c2\u00a0Supernatural<\/i>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trigger Warning: For talk of blood, Stockholm Syndrome<\/b><\/p>\n
This is so fucked up.<\/p>\n
Bobby<\/b><\/p>\n
Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first discuss the inevitable decline of Bobby. And really, it\u00c2\u00a0was<\/i> inevitable. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how this story\u00c2\u00a0always<\/i> goes in lore, so I do appreciate that as uncomfortable and awful as it is to see Bobby succumb to this, the writers are committing to this. Bobby\u00c2\u00a0can<\/i>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t<\/i> escape this fate, particularly since he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so intimately involved in a case that led to his death. Despite that he\u00c2\u00a0wants<\/i> to remain a good spirit, he can fight the pull of becoming a vengeful spirit. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that point where he possesses the maid and he says that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only for a little while, as if\u00c2\u00a0that<\/i> is a good enough justification for himself.<\/p>\n
Except it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not, and we know, and I bet Bobby knows it. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one little possession now, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only going to get worse and worse, and then someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to have to burn that flask. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122M PREPARING MYSELF FOR IT, Y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ALL.<\/p>\n
Kevin\u00c2\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
I mean, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not thrilled that he translated the Word of God for Dick Roman, BUT OH LORD, HE AND HIS MOM ARE STILL ALIVE. I was a little confused, though. Are the angels not tracking Kevin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s every move? I get that Edgar killed the two who were tasked with protecting him, but surely the angels have\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 a backup??? Actually, now that I think about it, the angels are severely limited in their resources post-Castiel, so this kind of makes sense. NEVERMIND, TALKED MYSELF OUT OF MY OWN NITPICKING.<\/p>\n
Blood<\/b><\/p>\n
Both of these plots are small parts of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There Will Be Blood,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and most of the episode follows Sam and Dean as they track down both Crowley and the Alpha Vampire. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a tense episode for the most part, namely because the writers pit Sam and Dean against a veritable procession of some of the strongest, most intimidating creatures in the entire\u00c2\u00a0Supernatural<\/i> universe. Seriously! They go from Crowley, the king of Hell, to the Alpha Vampire to Edgar. In\u00c2\u00a0these scenes, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re meant to distrust\u00c2\u00a0everything<\/i>. Given what we know about these people, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no reason to assume they\u00c2\u00a0won<\/i>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t<\/i> just kill the Winchesters. On top of that, the signs of Roman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s takeover are\u00c2\u00a0everywhere<\/i>. More mergers, more acquisitions, and more use of high fructose corn syrup to slow the human population down. (Which\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I get what the show is trying to do, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s yet another use of fat people not as characters but as a visual form of storytelling. They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any contribution to the story except to show the decline of humanity. Booo.) It builds atmosphere. It suggests urgency. Dick Roman and the Leviathans are close to\u00c2\u00a0something<\/i>, perhaps the opening of the first slaughterhouse. At the very least, we also know that Dick is determined to eliminate Crowley and the Alpha Vampire, all so that Sam and Dean cannot build a weapon against him.<\/p>\n
I do like the idea that Sam and Dean have to descend into moral filth in order to save the world. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a clear victory here, you know? By striking a deal with the Alpha, the Winchesters choose to save the vampires in order to take out the Leviathans. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not the first \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dirty\u00e2\u20ac\u009d deal we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen on the show, but there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an air of desperation to this. Despite that their instincts are telling them to kill everything they come across, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to constantly re-evaluate what they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing.<\/p>\n
And then we meet Emily and EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH MORE AWFUL THAN IT WAS BEFORE. Emily represents both a sharp turn in the plot\u00c2\u00a0and<\/i> the desperate lengths the Winchesters have to go in order to stop the Leviathans. To say that she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s uncomfortable is an understatement. We learn that the Alpha Vampire has been kidnapping children and holding them FOR YEARS so he could drink their \u00e2\u20ac\u0153virgin\u00e2\u20ac\u009d blood. LIKE\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 WHAT THE FUCK. And the show even goes far enough to show us Allen, a young boy who also seems to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, viewing the Alpha like a father. At least the show didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have Sam and Dean just leave poor Allen behind, and I did appreciate that they demanded the Alpha free Allen before they left. Because even though they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve gone to such depths to stop the Leviathans, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still not going to let that kid suffer any more than he has to.<\/p>\n
So what\u00c2\u00a0now<\/i>? Dick Roman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got Crowley captured by a devil\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s trap; we still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what Sam and Dean need as the\u00c2\u00a0actual<\/i> weapon to kill Dick Roman with; we still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know if killing Dick undoes the entire Leviathan empire; we still don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know where Bobby is; EVERYTHING IS A HORRIBLE MESS.<\/p>\n
Onwards to this finale I go. Shit, y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122all, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122VE SEEN SEVEN SEASONS OF THIS SHOW. This is a thing that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happened! Remember when I said I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d only give this show a season\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth of a chance?\u00c2\u00a0Look what I have become<\/i>.<\/p>\n
