Mother´s Little Helper – an episode in pictures and quotes

Before torturing us with another hiatus, the Supernatural cast and crew managed once more to keep us glued to the screen on Tuesday evening (well, very early Wednesday morning here, but sleep´s overrated anyway).A thrilling, absolutely satisfying episode, threading the “monster of the week”- into the oh so much bigger general War in Hell theme. And again, the Winchester family´s connection to the ongoing events obviously goes way back in the family line. It was a blast to see grandpa Henry again (not hard to guess where the boys got their looks from…), all eager and happy to do good in the world (there WAS a hunter inside him after all!).The brotherly conflict, heartbreaking as ever, seems to slowly change – mostly because of Dean´s affliction after having realized the effects of The Marc of Cain on him (and angsty, dealing-by-drinking Dean always gets our hearts), and Sam´s growing concern for his brother (and worried Sam´s allways cute, isn´t he).
Well, and then there´s Crowley. Playing his own games – and the brothers. I have to say I´m thrilled to see where the King of Hell (currently off duty due to unresolved leadership issues) will push events.So far, he´s always managed to make me adore him right before I have to be mad at him again for shamelessly using the Winchesters time and again.
And, as always, the cast aside from the lead roles, was flawless. Should mention that more often I guess. Production design: equally perfect, as ever.
Have I mentioned that Misha Collins directed the episode? Loved his camera angles…the close ups on all those tortured faces, twisted by the horrors around and inside them…yeah, you can do that with a cast like this one. Misha, it was worth all that cake on your face!

Dean. Oh, Dean.

Sam. Jesus, Sam! Stop distracting me from the story line!

The brothers, splitting up: uh-oh.

Sam, “checking in”. Only on a strictly professional level, of course. And Dean, dealing with things in his special way.

Dean, acting weird. Sammy, getting worried.

Crowley…he knows which buttons to press…

Nuns. Evil nuns. Gotta love them, right?

Abaddon, rising. I have to say her choice in meat suit has improved.

Crowley, not only hitting on Sam in 9×16, but also checking out Dean in 9×17. Demon, you´re one greedy bastard! And Dean is MINE, btw!

love me Sam´s bitchface. AND his superhero attitude. go get them, tiger!

and now: time for a little promotional break. meet the most sexy non-human object on SPN, the incredible……..IMPALA! (sorry, Cas…you ARE kind of human. Yes…Ok…right. Well, I hear you. OK. I said OK! So: the Angel Castiel insists on the following clarification: the Impala is not THE, but ONE OF THE most sexy objects in SPN.
jeez….

Yes. Meat loafs should get the appreciation they deserve.

I´m not entirely sure why Dean is staring at his LEFT hand with fear and loathing, but…maybe time..and the next episodes to come…will show!

to be continued…
