“Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox”
November 17, 2016
EMERSON, MANITOBA 1980
A boy runs through the woods. He steals quick glances over his shoulder, checking the distance between him and the dark figure pursuing him. The boy trips over a log and sprawls onto the ground. The werewolf hauls him up and pins him against a tree. Just as the monster is about rip the boy’s fool heart out of his chest a shot rings out. The boy’s face is spattered with blood.
Mary Winchester lowers the still smoking sawed off.
She drives the boy home in her sapphire blue Mustang. Cheeky Show. Mary tells Asa he’s going to be fine. And that the thing that attacked him was a werewolf. One that she’d been tracking for a long time. She casually says they had history. And that with the exception of the odd loose end, she’s officially retired from hunting.
“But if you retire, who is going to save people like me?”

Will Grover is getting ready for the winter formal. He’s shaving? I think? It looks more like his sweet baby face is having an argument with the razor. He’s one stroke away from slicing off most of his right cheek.
Grover gives his son a few shaving tips before offering to teach Will some of his sweet, sweet dance moves. You know what they used to call Grover back in the day?

THEN: “You must be one of us. One of the psychics. We’re all a part of something.”
NOW
The church bells ring. Sunlight streams through the stained glass windows. A small group of parishioners offer their morning devotions. A woman stands in the back of the sanctuary, framed by the open doors. She walks slowly down the center aisle. Blood pours from the puncture wounds in her feet. There are matching marks on her palms. A woman praying in a pew screams as she passes by.

Moonlight is hard at work in the McKitchen preparing the perfect dinner and dessert. Y’all, if the writers ever run out of ridiculous ways to kill tourists I would totally watch H50 as a cooking show. He puts on a sports coat, lights the candles, and is just pouring the wine as the doorbell dings. He opens the door for Lynn, who I don’t think we’ve seen since they had that one date last season.
And I’m just going to say it. She looks like she’s cosplaying Pretty Woman. That shade of blonde and those bangs are not cute.

“The Alamo”

March 5, 1836
Fellow citizens & compatriots –
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man—I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death.

THEN: “You were good at this, weren’t you?”
NOW
Two hipsters who should spend more time studying horror movies and less time on their Yelp reviews and man buns walk into an abandoned house. Natalie follows the sound of a crying baby to a back bedroom. A crib sits in the empty room. A bare lightbulb flickers above it. She folds back the blanket but there’s no baby. Just a creepy, horrible doll.
The couple try to flee but the door slams shut, trapping them inside the room.

“Ka Hale Ho’Okauweli”
October 28, 2016
Honolulu, 1940. Two officers respond to a noise complaint. The camera lingers on the doll sitting on the home’s front porch. Its eyes may or may not move. The woman who answers the door is sporting two black eyes. She cowers as they ask if she’s okay and if her husband is home. The lead officer insists on coming in and she reluctantly unchains the door.
The officers walk into a home in shambles. Pictures hang askew. Lamps are knocked over. The radio futzes with static. A little girl sits huddled on the floor. She sing-songs to herself, “Go away. Please, go away.” She tells the officer he needs to leave. He’s going to make “him” angry. The front door flies open. A presence seems to enter the house. The mother cries out a frantic warning in Japanese. The other office translates.
She says the house is haunted.
