Supernatural Recap: The Man Who Knew Too Much

Sam is running from the police, he hides and they search. He goes into a bar, but they’re closed he asks the girl to give him one minute. She asks his name and he tells her that he can’t remember. He says that the last thing he remembers is that he woke up on a park bench with a cop shining his flashlight in his face, and he knocked him out. The girl tells him that he should just let the quacks figure it out, but Sam says that he feels like he’s running out of time.  He picks up a Lovecraft book, “Haunter of the Dark” and gets flashes of memories. The girl insists on seeing a doctor, but Sam asks for a computer and looks up the hotel he saw in his flashback, its close by. She drives him to it, he’s piqued her interest.

He gets a feeling which room he’d pick, the one with the best escape route. He uses her credit card to pop the lock to the room, and the walls in the room are covered with clippings its “very beautiful mind and seven.” They find a stash of fake ids, but doesn’t bring anything back. He sees a clipping of Eleanor’s missing persons, and collapses.

Bobby, Dean and Sam are looking for Eleanor. They find her but she’s dying, and now Castiel and Crowley have all they need to crack open purgatory. She dies, and Cas tells him that he’s sorry that it happened, that Crowley got carried away. Cas again begs that they sit this one out so that he can stop Raphael. Dean refuses, and Cas promises to save Sam when this is all done. He touches Sam’s temple, and Sam wakes back up.

He finally knows his name, but not much else, except Bobby’s name. He finds Bobby’s address and sets out to find him. The girl says that this is her stop, and as he finds his car someone shoots at him, he protects the girl, and looks for the shooter. It’s him.

Dean sits over a sleeping Sam. Bobby tries to forge ahead, but Dean is having a little trouble pulling it together, just as Cas intended. Bobby and Dean take a shot.

Sam smells whisky, but the girl doesn’t. They forge ahead towards Bobby.

Dean shines a light in Sam’s eyes, and it instantly goes from night to day. The girl says that its always been day, and she tries to make a break for it, but Sam tells her to get in the car. He looks in the trunk and sees a cache of weapons. Taking out a shotgun he goes looking for what he heard in the woods, which happens to be himself, lying wait with a gun. His other self disarms him, and says howdy. His other self seems to know a lot more. He tells amnesia Sam what’s happening. Turns out its soulless Sam, and he wants to captain the boat for awhile. He says that someone needs to take charge before its too late, and opens fire on amnesia Sam. Amnesia Sam tricks soulless Sam, and shoots him, and absorbs him. He walks back to the car and the girl, telling her that he remembers her, and she doesn’t seem surprised.

He shot her when he was soulless. She was held hostage by one of the monsters, and he shot her to take away his leverage.

Bobby brings in Balthazar. He was having second thoughts about helping them.  He brings an address to them, where Cas and Crowley plan to open Purgatory, but then he’s out. He’s stuck his neck out far enough.

Crowley gives Cas the blood mix, virgin and monster. Cas tells Crowley that he’s renegotiating his terms. Crowley gets nothing, and gives him the option of fleeing or dying. Crowley flees.

Sam makes it to Bobby’s but its different. All candle light and creepy. He finds another version of himself. He asks which version he is, its Hell Sam.

Bobby and Dean pack and prepare. Dean leaves the address with Sam, begging him to come back.

Sam knows that he’s been at Bobby’s the whole time, when Hell Sam asks how he knows he says that he’s been smelling Old Spice and Whiskey the whole time, but the only way out is to know what Hell Sam knows. Hell Sam begs him not to do this, but Amnesia Sam is bent on getting back, unwilling to leave Dean alone out there. Hell Sam refuses to fight him, and wishes him luck as Amnesia Sam prepares to remember everything.

Cas summons Balthazar telling him that they have a Judas in their midst, that Dean is on the way. Cas sends him to find the traitor, but that he’ll deal with Dean himself. He’s alone as he prepares to do what he thinks is right, and he doesn’t understand it. Balthazar tells him that he always has him, and Cas flashes behind him, and shanks him with an angel blade.

Bobby and Dean prepare to storm the fort. As something approaches, causing the puddles to vibrate “T-Rex maybe?” Bobby and Dean make a run for it, as demons roll in. Crowley’s come in with a reinforcement, Raphael, in a new form to renegotiate his contract terms with Cas.

Raphael says that if anyone is to be the new god it will be him. Cas gives Crowley the blood, and disappears. Dean and Bobby lie in the Impala, which is upside down, as Crowley begins to open the gate. Dean throws an angel blade at Raphael, but Raphael catches it, and they neutralize both Dean and Bobby without making a move. Crowley finishes his incantation, but nothing happens. Castiel made a little switcheroo. Crowley points out that Cas’s jar is empty, and then Cas gets all glowy.

He lets Crowley make his get away, and then snaps his fingers and gets rid of Raphael. Cas tells Dean that he saved him. Dean apologizes, but tells him that its not safe to hold all those souls, that its scrambling his brains, he’s on a power high. But Cas says that he’s not finished yet, he plans to punish all of Raphael’s followers. Dean begs him to get rid of souls before it destroys him, that they were once family, but Cas says that he has no family. Sam stabs him with the angel blade, but it does not work, He’s no longer an angel.

Cas tells them that he is the new God, and that they will bow down and profess their love, or he will destroy them. Not a good first move as the new God, but leaves next season wide open.
