Supernatural Recap S9E15: #Thinman
Tonight we’re
taking a little break from the angel conflict and the Ghostfacers are back, so
prepare for plenty of laughs and hopefully some ghost hunting ridiculousness.
Selfie photo
marathon complete with duck faces reveal someone in the girl's room. She hides
in her closet when the lights go out, because of course that’s going to be a
safe place. She calls 911, but its too late, he fills the closet with blood.
Dean shows
Sam a picture of the wallflower killer. He prepares to go with Dean to investigate.
In Springdale, Washington Casey’s mother is questioned by the boys. The
bloodstains remain on the girl’s carpet, and she had no known enemies.
Everything around the home seemed normal, except for cold spots. The police have come up with nothing,
but her mother has called some Supernaturalists, they’re coming by today to
take a look. The Supernaturalists happen to be some familiar faces the
Ghostfacers.
The
Ghostfacers are joined at the diner by the Winchesters. Dean threatens the guys
to leave town or get a kneeful of lead, but they claim that the Winchesters don’t
scare them. They plan on handling the situation, but the boys don’t want them
in the way. The Ghostfacers know what they’re doing, but the crew has been extremely
reduced, down to just two just Harry and Ed, the others are still alive, just
no longer part of the team. When Dean mentions the ghost, Harry laughs, they
both do. They don’t believe it’s a ghost, but rather the ThinMan.
The
Supernaturalists have even written a book on him. Dean and Sam look at their
website, and read into the Thinman who does look like the culprit from the
selfies. He stalks his victims until he kills them. There are thousands of
sightings, so it can’t be shrugged off so easily. Ghosts don’t usually haunt
multiple locations, and the sightings date back to before the Veil went down.
Ed films in
Casey’s room while Harry stalks his ex-girlfriend on Facebook, his head clearly
not in the game. He puts crazy complicated girl aside and tries to focus on
ThinMan. Ed finally sees just how serious the situation is. With the Winchesters
in town the entire game has changed. It’s not just about finding ThinMan, its
about making the haters eat their words Harry believe. The other Ghostfacers
left to lead a normal life, and now Ed and Harry have a chance to make a splash
to the big leagues. Harry dreams of the fame, and ladies it will bring.
Dean looks
up local cases, nothing is connected. Sam finds cases all over the country that
are though. Victim dies, and photos are found with ThinMan lurking in the
background, the ultimate creepy photobomber. Some of the photos are obviously
faked, but Casey’s was certainly not. Dean and Sam try to figure out how Casey’s
photo landed online. It came from a blocked IP address, and the boys know it
was not the ghost.
The police
station finds the sheriff out of town, but the chatty officer is more than
willing to help. Casey’s phone is cracked, with no explanation, and the photo
was posted long after she died. He thinks it could have been supernatural, and
the Ghostfacers may have a hand in that, they came by and dropped off their
book.
The manager
at the diner shuts it down for the night. As he
goes through the receipts he keeps hearing knocking. He checks the
security cameras, don’t look now, but the ThinMan is there. He slashes the manager’s
throat; poor guy never had a chance.
Dean and Sam
head to the crimescene, and the police officer is there too. Dean is none too
happy to see the Ghostfacers on the job already. He thinks it can’t hurt, and tells
the boys about a medium who found a boy the police could not. Sam gets down to
business looking for security camera footage, while Dean confronts the
Ghostfacers. The ThinMan has a huge following, and Dean wants to know what
ThinMan is actually. The Ghostfacers use the moment to start a monologue, which
reveals that they don’t know nearly that much. The boys pour over the footage
while the Ghostfacers make a run for it.
Someone’s
posted the diner footage on the Ghostfacer’s blog. Harry changes into a ninja,
he wants to draw out ThinMan. Again, Ed thinks that maybe Sam and Dean should
take over as the bodies continue to stack up. When he suggests that they leave
it to the professionals, Harry scoffs and they head to the woods.
Sam and Dean
go over the facts, and look for likely suspects. Teleporting brings up thoughts
of cross-roads demons. Sam tells Dean that the diner video is already online,
like someone wants to popularize ThinMan, that he’s gone viral instantly. Dean tells
him the other video that would have gone viral would have been Sammy’s video as
a child jumping off the roof dressed as batman. They have a little moment,
before there’s all the regret. Ed comes to visit the boys, he tells them that
the case is his.
Harry is
still out in the wilds, and city outskirts recording and looking for ThinMan.
Ed confesses
the true reasons that the Ghostfacers broke up, and that he made up ThinMan to
save Harry from his crazy ex-girlfriend. Ruh-roh.
Harry
continues through the woods with his running monologue, while ThinMan lurks in
the shadows. Could this be a Scooby mystery gone awry, is it a man in the mask,
maybe the boy from the diner who served them?
Ed faked one
case on a horror site, and from there it just sort of blew up. Ed thought is
was great to finally have a following. Sam tells him that he has to tell Harry
the truth. Ed fears that if he does tell him that harry will leave. Sam tells
him that secrets destroys relationships, but Harry isn’t around to tell. Sam
lays into him about leaving Harry alone to search, but the boys aren’t so sure.
Harry has found
a stick pile in the woods, as he searches the stick pile is moved, and worse
they’re not alone. ThinMan takes a stab at Harry, and Harry fights back,
getting away. The boys find him as Harry nearly collapses. The boys bind his
wounds, and Harry gushes that ThinMan was real. There are tire marks at the
scene, and as Harry berates them Ed makes a confession. Back at the motel,
Harry is more than a little angry. He left his girlfriend, the one he wanted to
marry to run around chasing ghosts with Ed. Harry’s can’t have a second chance
at that life, and Ed wants to keep going, to solve the mystery. Harry isn’t
able to forgive and forget. There’s no more Ghostfacers, the trust between them
is broken. Ed is willing to give Harry what he needs to prepare the
relationship and Harry just wants to brood. He doesn’t do the brooding nearly
as well as Sam does. Sam checks in on Harry, he’s one that can actually understand
how he feels. He tells him that there are things you can forgive, and there are
things that you can’t but its up to him to decide which one this is. Dean gets some
information about the tire tread, it belongs to Roger, a night security guard.
So the ThinMan may be able to teleport, but he also has a night job, just what
the heck is he? Ed overhears the boys, and Harry tells him that the Winchesters
are off to clean up the mess. Ed wants to help people still, and do what they
set out to do. Ed wants to make it right, and Harry is hard pressed to let him
go at it alone.
The boys
head to the security guards site, and the police officer is worried about
heading in with a warrant, they lead the charge, and he tasers the heck out of
them. The boys awaken to being chained up, as the officer sets the scene
humming all the while. Norwood confesses that it was a team effort, and not
real teleportation. Thin Man arrives, and he actually is a man in a mask. The
guy from the diner removes his mask. His boss was a jerk so he killed him, and
Casey wouldn’t date him. The sheriff isn’t really out of town either. Roger
killed him since he wouldn’t give Norwood the time off he wanted. A pair of
spoiled boys. Roger thinks that the pretty boy “dean” has never known what it
feels like to be ignored. Roger and Norwood met online, the two conspiracy
theorists came across ThinMan, and wanted something more, so they brought him
to life. Dean taunts them that it doesn’t make them ThinMan, taking the focus
off of Sam trying to get out of his binds. They’re nothing more than Scream
copycat killers, Roger points out that a dead man tells no tales. They’ll be
the stars of the best video yet. Everyone gets into position, and lights camera
action, but Sam isn’t loose yet. Good thing they have company. The Ghostfacers
arrive on the scene. Thinman kicks Harry in the crotch, but Ed is there. He
holds Thinman at gunpoint, but Norwood is there too, knocking Ed out. Norwood
goes all supervillain on them, revealing that they had planned to let one live,
but with them both dead they’ll be no one left who knows that they created
ThinMan. But the boys have escaped and they get the drop on roger and Norwood.
Dean uses Roger’s own knife against him. Norwood draws a gun on Sam, and Ed heroically
jumps in the way. Norwood prepares to shoot them both, but Harry is faster
shooting Roger.
Dean packs
up, and tells Sam that he staged the bodies to look like they killed eachother.
Sam still has a hard time believing that they were just people. Ed asks if
things are good between them, but Harry doesn’t think that they ever will be.
The chapter isn’t closed, the book is. Harry killed someone because of him,
many people died because of Ed’s actions. Ed did everything for himself, and
that’s one thing that Harry can’t forgive. For now its complicated. Harry asks
the boys for a ride, and they give it to them, they have a complicated relationship
of their own. Ed watches Harry leave him. Dean asks if Harry is ok. He tells
them that he is, he just always thought that Ed would be there forever, but
that now everything is different. They know exactly how he feels, more than
either of them would ever say. If the boys can get over their issues, than so
can the Ghostfacers, this can’t be the end of them.
