Supernatural S10E11 Recap: There's No Place Like Home
A man tries to flee some flying
objects. He makes it down the stairs and outside, but he gets tripped
up by the hose on the front yard. He begs the unseen person, that he
doesn't know anything else. Charlie comes out of the shadows, she
knows he knows nothing else, but who doesn't love torture.
Sam takes a call, and Dean does some
clean eating. He's on a health kick to beat the mark of Cain, but one
bite into his egg white omelet, and he's missing his booze, burgers
and more booze. Once he gets rid of his demonic tramp stamp he's back
on his normal diet. There's been no luck in the research department,
and Dean is forced to suffer down some green juice in his clean
efforts. During the research, Sam comes across some pretty bad
footage of Charlie beating up DA Peter Harper, and it looks like he's
not the only victim. Dean wants to go check it out. He struggles with
his blade before he gets a hold of himself, and they're off.
The boys talk with Peter. Charlie
wanted information about her parents case. Peter presided over it,
but there was plenty of evidence missing, and he really doesn't
remember much about the case. Sam points out that the stenographer
was the other victim, and the aggressor wouldn't let up until she
revealed Peter's name. Dean wants to know what name he revealed, and
at first Peter claims that he didn't give up anyone. Dean presses him
and he finally reveals who paid him into stop trying to get the
sealed files. The boys look over Charlie's file as they drive towards
the next possible victim's home. Charlie is just trying to find the
people who killed her parents.
They head over to the house, but the
woman is less than forthcoming, so its stakeout time. Dean laments
over his kale sandwich, while Sam looks over Charlie's file. The
shrinks thought she was pretty messed up. Dean points out that had
the shrinks got a hold of them at that age, they would have said much
worse. There's screaming from inside, and the boys rush in. Oz has
changed for the worse in Oz. She said everything she wanted happened
there, she had an adventure. She looks at Sam with dismay, all good
guy code, and no bite, whereas Dean is being held back by him.
Charlie makes a run for it, and Dean gives chase, while Sam looks
over the damage Charlie inflicted. They wrestle a bit, and Charlie
gets the upper hand since Dean doesn't want to hurt her. She runs
from the house, and gets away. Dean can't follow since she slashed
his tires. Dean watches her leave, and then around the corner in a
happy little car is Good Charlie. Sam finds out that Bad Charlie was
after bank statements and he runs out after his brother, shocked to
see Good Charlie. Seems like they have some catching up to do.
At a nearby bar, Charlie explains that
there is two of her. The boys were there when she went off to Oz.
They were losing the war for the Emerald City, and the only way to
turn the tides was to unleash her inner darkness, which the Wizard
did with the key. Dark Charlie won the war singlehandedly, but she
had to do a lot of bad things to do that. She's been on the quest to
find out who murdered their parents as a way to please good Charlie.
Good Charlie wants to find Dark Charlie and lock her up for good,
since it looks like they can't get back to Oz to be reunited. Sam
doesn't think that's the answer. Good Charlie is all too good, she
can't do anything bad, not even hack into some records which would be
really helpful. Sam asks her to walk him through it so that he can be
the bad one, but that it gets done. Dean heads to the bar for some
drinks, and he struggles with his good side too. Sam finds the
information he needs in regards to the bank records, and the man,
Russell Wellington, at last who was behind the death of Charlie's
parents. Dean puts an end to the discussion as Charlie starts to
break down, but she doesn't want secrets. Sam points out that she
can't lock away the dark, that its still a part of her. Charlie wants
to go to the bunker to look for a way to repair the Oz key, and Sam
will accompany her. Dean plans to find the killer, and protect him
and Dark Charlie both.
In the car on another stakeout, Dean
listens to self help tapes while munching on some nuts. Russell pulls
up in a sweet car, and Dean follows him in the building and signs in.
He takes a seat with what looks to be applicants, but not before the
receptionist undresses him with her eyes.
At the bunker Sam and Charlie research
the key. They take a look through the files and history of the key
among the Men of Letters and Clyde.
Dean is the last person in the office
and he's brought back into Russell's office.”Mr. Presley” takes a
seat and describes to Russell his dream home.
Charlie finds out what happened to
Clyde after he retired from the Men of Letters. From the looks of
things he's actually still alive, though he may be 100. Time passes
differently in Oz, so its completely possible.
Dean explains his love of bubbles and
jacuzzis and Russell interrupts him. Based on his clothing, he
assumes all Dean would be looking for is a home on wheels. Russell is
busy and thinks that Dean is just wasting his time. Dean is willing
to buy if Russell is willing to sell, but Russell doesn't want to
play. He moves to make a call, but Dean stops him. He's trying to
save Russell's life. Dean asks him if he remembers killing Charlie's
parents in the car accident, but he claims not to. Dean knows he was
too drunk to remember the accident, but not to remember the cover-up.
The lights go out, and emergency lights come on. Dean tells him to
stay in the room as he heads out to face bad Charlie. She's wielding
a knife, but Dean wants to talk. Charlie isn't looking to talk about
her feelings. She claims that she doesn't want to hurt Russell, only
talk. Dean doesn't believe her. She claims that she only wants him to
see her face, to see what he did to them. She offers Dean her knife,
with a promise that they can hand him over to the cops after. Charlie
walks through the door. Russell recognizes Celeste immediately. He
apologizes to Charlie, admitting that he was young and stupid and he
can never give her back what he took. He wasn't drunk that night, he
was sober, but he was selfish and wrong and he should pay for it. He
took everything from Charlie. He begs her forgiveness as Dean toys
with her knife. Charlie says she forgives him, but she turns around
and locks the door, killing Russell before Dean can break through the
door. Bad Charlie breaks the window and gets away.
Sam and Good Charlie are still headed
towards Clyde as Dean calls in an update. He tells them that she got
to Russell and killed him. Sam tells him that he hopes that they
found a way back to Oz, and they plan to meet up at his location.
Dean sits at a bar contemplating a
shot. Poor guy has had a rough night, and the pretty bartender
notices Dean nursing his drink. He's pacing himself. Bad Charlie
pulls up a chair next to Dean. He's not happy to see her after her
lying and murdering Russell. She tells him that he lied to himself,
and that is his own fault. She knows that something is off about him.
Charlie points out that Russell got what he deserved. The great thing
about being dark is that it sets you free, and that's the truth.
Sam and Good Charlie make it to Clyde's
house, but he claims to not be Clyde, nor know anything about the Men
of Letters or Oz. Charlie asks him in if he recognizes the key.
Dark Charlie checks out the bartender's
butt, as she gets all philosophical. But Dean warns her that she
won't be around for long. She doesn't seem phased by the information,
mocking him not thinking that her princess other half could have
found a way back to Oz. But Dean reveals that she has found one of
the Men of Letters who just may be able to put her back where she
belongs. She isn't sure she belongs back in Good Charlie. But in the
meantime, if he isn't going to ask the hot bartender to dance, she
will. Dean goes back to his shot, but he doesn't take it as the
bartender comes back. He wonders if Charlie struck out, but she
didn't she left, and in his baby. Dean warns Sam that Dick Charlie
hotwired baby. Dean at least told him the wrong town as he looks to
take another ride.
Clyde gives them the bad news. The six
keys of Oz can only be forged in Oz. There's no way to repair the key
in this realm. Sam asks what happened to Clyde there, and he
hesitates before he admits that what happened to her happened to him
as well. His ID became the Wizard of Oz. Dark Clyde is by the current
Ruler, Dorothy's side. Without the key there is no way to get back to
Oz, but there may be a way to summon him. Clyde grabs a gun. If he is
mortally wounded, The wizard will have to come back to save them
both. The wrongs that the wizard has caused are his fault.
Dean arrives as a gunshot rings out.
Bad Charlie is right behind him. She figured that he would lie about
where he was going, she would have done the same. She claims to just
want to talk to her good self, but Dean doesn't believe her and
threatens to put her down if she tries to go in. That's the side of
Dean that she's missed.
Clyde lies on the ground dying of his
self inflicted would. The house shakes, and a portal opens. A masked
man, the Wizard comes through. He removes the mask, exposing a
youthful face as he looks down on himself. He asks his older dying
self, what he's done. His young self is bleeding from the same spot.
Sam draws his gun, but the Wizard easily disarms him. His old self
had one task, to stay alive. Charlie bleeds from her mouth.
Bad Charlie taunts Dean, telling him he
hits like a girl that never learned how to hit. Charlie gets some
good hits in on Dean, and even a knee or two. Dean is still holding
back a little, but not for much longer.
Sam watches as Good Charlie takes more
injuries that her bad half is getting from Dean. Sam asks to help
her, but the Wizard doesn't look swayed, as he tightens the magical
bonds that hold him. Clyde reaches for the gun, but Charlie shakes
her head no at him.
Bad Charlie's action have hurt Good
Charlie, but Bad Charlie learned from Dean she says. Dean grabs her
and breaks her arm.
Good Charlie reaches for the gun, as
Sam is being magically choked. Good Charlie recovers the gun and
prepares to shoot Clyde. He forgives her as she pulls the trigger,
killing Clyde and the Wizard.
Outside, Dean is beating the heck out
of Bad Charlie. Sam stops him, carrying Charlie in his arms. He lies
her down next to her other half. Bad Charlie realizes that Good
Charlie killed the Wizard, that she had the magic in her the whole
time. Sam gives her the key, and the two halves are reunited, making
Charlie whole in body, but she's broken inside. She cries in Sam's
arms, as Dean looks at what he did.
Back in the bunker. Sam talks with Cas.
Dean is calmed down, but they need to figure something out, they need
to find Cain. Charlie comes in with all of her stuff, and there's an
awkward look shared between her and Dean. Sam thinks she should be
resting, but two days is enough. Both she and Dean look a little
rough. Charlie isn't good or bad anymore, but balanced. Sam has found
what he hopes is a lead, its a book in Tuscany. Charlie isn't looking
for a new adventure, she's got enough right there. There's no going
back to Oz, and Dorothy will be fine. Dark Charlie is still in there,
but she's quiet. Charlie approaches Dean, and he's still feeling down
for what he did. She isn't going to let what happened to her happen
to him. Cain learned to live with the mark after years of murder.
Charlie tells him that he has something that Cain didn't. He's a
Winchester, and she forgives him, but he doesn't forgive himself.
It's his normal move she points out. He tells her that he's sorry,
and she tells him to prove it. Charlie is off, with a promise to call
if she finds something. Sam and Dean have their BM moment. Dean
admits that he's not good, but Sam is with Charlie. He can do this,
they can do this, and Dean is ready to get to work.
