Supernatural S10E08 Recap: Hibbing 911
Hibbing, Minnesota a graffiti artist
gets to work on his latest masterpiece when he hears a noise in the
alley way. Rather than heed the warning noise he goes on, and the
mystery figure makes him apart of his artwork.
Sheriff Jody Mills arrives at the
Sheriff's retreat. She looks less than enthusiastic as her bag's
handle breaks, and a panhandler approaches her. She gives the young
girl some money for lunch, worried about the girl she left at home.
Donna chipperly welcomes Jody, and she witnesses an awkward exchange
between Donna and her dick ex.
Dean is getting no where in his
research about the first mark. He's a little upset that he can find
out about transgender werewolves, but nothing about his mark.
The sheriff's retreat is kicked off
with a stumbling speech from Len, Hibbing's sheriff. No one looks particularly happy to be there, especially when a new aspect is
introduced: partners. Jody finds herself paired up with Donna. Donna
is told about a body that was found eaten, and Jody perks up for the
first time. The normal wildlife is suspected. There are no tracks,
hairs or claw marks. Jody makes an excuse to get away.
She places a call to Sam. Sam tells her
that Dean says hi, which is news to her, since she didn't know that
he was found. They get the update on Sam, she's not the peppy
cheerleader, but she's doing ok. Jody tells them about an eaten body,
but they haven't heard of anything in the pipeworks. Dean offers to
come down, but Jody thinks that she can handle it. Dean wants to head
down anyways, and Sam can't think of a reason not to.
Jody heads over to the morgue to talk
to the ME. She wants to look at the body, but she'll get nowhere as
she's not part of the precinct. Donna comes down and charms the ME.
Donna gets easy access so Jody does as well. The midsection is picked
pretty clean. Donna gloves up as she asks for personal effects. Jody
can't believe the size of the pants that the guy was wearing without
a belt. Either he had no belt, or the animal took it. Dona is an
experienced hunter, and she can't identify the bite marks, which Jody
was afraid of.
A man sneaks out of his house and
retrieves some hidden cigarettes. There's a warning noise, but he
pays it little notice as he tries to get a smoke. Unfortunately, he's
out. Worst, something was in the dumpster he threw the pack away in.
See smoking is bad.
At the bar, Len sits alone nursing a
seltzer. Donna and Jody corner him to pick his brain. Donna wants to
know what kind of animal was responsible. He's not sure, he's letting
animal control take care of it. A younger officer, Deputy Brice comes and takes him
away with an issue. Donna spots her ex, Doug, dancing with a couple
of younger girls. Jody points out that Doug is kind of a dick, but he
was her dick and it hurts. Donna excuses herself, and Jody goes to
pick at Len some more. He tells her that there was another attack,
but to try to enjoy the retreat. They don't want everyone's nosing
around the case.
Donna comes out of the restroom to find
herself abandoned. She finds Jody calling home to Alex. Her life
isn't all cupcakes either. She's being a normal teen with mom away,
to Jody's dismay. Donna knows that Jody is trying to do the case
without her, and Jody gives her an update, but there is nothing more
they can do for now with the morgue being closed. There's nothing
more for them to talk about besides Jody's home life though. Donna
lends a sympathetic ear, but Jody isn't up for pillow fighting and
hair braiding.
The boys roll into town. Jody is happy
to see them, even though she said that she could handle it. They've
already seen the second victim with flesh eaten off of him as well.
They tell her that the second victim was missing a wallet, and so
they have a monster that's eating and robbing their victims. They
spot Donna, and remember her too. They ask Jody to distract her so
that they can get to hunting. Jody isn't happy, but she does her
best. Donna thought they were headed off to the morgue, but Jody says
she's letting animal control handle it. The boys head off to find Len and get more information on the pair of bodies. Dean doesn't
mesh well with Brice who jokes that its just a bobcat. Len leaves the boys in the hands of the officers while he goes and
checks with animal control. The boys smell a lie. Sam heads back to
the morgue, and Dean to pump the deputy for information. Sam asks him
to take a less defensive manner with him, but the fake badge still
means something to Dean.
The girls are looking over some guns.
The guy tries to talk down to them, as if the female officers were
less about their jobs, and more about just being pretty. Jody and
Donna both school him on what he considers to be the big one, which
is hardly that. Donna's dick ex Doug comes by joking how she's a wolf
in sheep's clothing. This guy just can't stay away from her. The gun
seller leaves, and Donna tells him to save the compliments for
another officer. Doug pokes at Donna some more, and rather than
telling him where to stick it, she makes a joke at her own expense.
Jody has had it, and calls Doug out on his fat shaming, pointing out
that Donna is not fat. She calls Doug a douche to his face, and the
winds have officially come out of his sails. Donna is a little upset
how Jody handled Doug. She tells her that until she's lost a husband
to keep her mouth zipped about hers. Jody's lost a husband and more,
and he wasn't the total douche bag that Doug is. The haunted look on
Jody's face brings Donna's apology, and Jody most certainly does not
want to talk about it.
Dean heads in to talk to Brice again. He tries another approach. He tells the younger officer that
he's on a very big case, and he's looking for a little help from
someone who isn't afraid to talk shop with some DC boys. That gets
Brice speaking. He tells him that there is some footage of the
first death, but the sheriff changed the password. He's sure he has a
good reason to go so though.
Donna heads out to get some air. She
spots some blood on the pavement, and follows it. Down the stairs she
spots Len standing over a dead officer. He's got a mouthful of sharp
teeth, and Donna hides before he can spot her. Looks like she's about
to be pulled into the demon fighting world after all. Len runs off.
The officer body is carted out. Dean
doesn't believe for a moment that it was an animal attack. Jody asks
how Dean is. He's fine, nothing he can't handle. Sam comes back to
report that the files they needed were deleted, with only Len having
access. Donna comes and steals Jody away. She's freaked. Jody
apologizes for her handling of Doug, but that's the last thing on her
mind now. Donna asks if Jody has ever seen something she can't
explain. She tells Jody about Len's shark teeth, and Jody tells her
that she believes her, and that Dean and Sam will too. Jody leaves
Sam a message about her suspicions, but she's definitely not letting
the locals handle it.
Jody and Donna head over to Len's room
and do a little breaking and entering. They search the room and finds
a boatload of sunblock, which Jody will explain later. They continue
to search, with Donna finding something on his notepad. The door knob
begins to turn, and Jody pulls out a very large machete, Donna draws
her gun, but its just the boys. They got Jody's message. She tells
them that they're definitely after a vampire, that Donna saw his
teeth. Maybe she should have explained vampires to Donna first. She's
definitely freaked. Dean asks if she wants to give her the talk since
she did blurt it and all. After the talk, Donna asks why there were
at the spa. Dean confirms that it was a monster sucking out her fat.
She knew that losing that much weight so fast was too good to be
true. Donna gives them the address. Dean wants Donna to sit out on
the vampire hunt, but there's no way he's sitting out.
The boys drive the sheriffs out, and
they machete up. Dean even hands Donna her own machete, giving her
the advice that if she swings, she needs to swing hard. The vampire
head needs to roll. Sam finds Len sitting down, in what looks to be
prayer. He looks back at Dean for a moment, and Len is suddenly in
front of him, telling him to run. He can't move into action fast
enough, the vampires get the drop on them, knocking Dean out,
capturing the ladies, and throwing him to the ground. The leader of
the group looks to be the young girl that Jody gave money to at the
beginning of the episode.
The girl pets the handsome Dean like a
shiny new toy she's about to devour. Dean isn't interested in her
circle of life speech. She removes his belt, and he's not interested
in that from her either. Jody can't believe she gave the girl lunch
money. Len asks Star to let them go, but she's not about to do
that. He did what she wanted, and got rid of the camera footage. She
didn't want that, just him. He's embraced the twilight way of life,
and lives off bagged blood. Donna asks about the little display that
she witnessed earlier. He found the body, smelled it and fanged out a
little, but he didn't bite. Star mocks Len going against his nature.
Dean spots Sam's tiny knife, and he wants him to make a move, but Sam
thinks it too risky. Sam asks what did Len do break up Burning Man,
but Star clarifies, it was Woodstock when Len found her. Dean works
on freeing himself as Star talks about the man who transformed her
and the rest of the vampires. He was ruthless, he was a killer, and
then one day he didn't just change his ways, he became a cop. Star
asks if he's feeling dirty, cause they're about to have a blood bath.
He goads her on, asking if she ever wondered why he stopped. He got a
conscious. Even if they used every part like he taught them, it was
still wrong to take lives as they did. He tried to protect people
after so many years of gutting them. That's why he's there, to join
the bloody caravan so they won't kill everyone. They're not killing
anyone, he is. Len tells her to kiss his ass. They love him, but they
don't know who he is anymore. Star beheads Len with a machete as Dean
gets loose. Machete in hand he goes after the men. Star gets tripped
up by Jody, still struggling in her ropes. She flashes her fangs at
Jody, as Dean beheads the last guy. Donna chops off Star's head
saving Jody. It's the BM moment. For the first time since he's been
back, Dean hasn't felt pushed by the mark. Donna's eyes are opened up
to a whole new darker world, and Jody is willing to be her Obi Wan
and guide her. Sam is willing to go with that for now.
