“Hey guys, Jared, Jensen, and Misha here, and we have some big news …”

Before we get to the recap, let’s talk about what happened the day after this episode aired.

‘Supernatural’: What would the Winchesters do

Supernatural
“Peace of Mind”
March 14, 2019

THEN: “You’re keeping the snake?”

NOW

Team Free Will 2.0 is each processing Michael’s defeat and death in their own way. Jack is dealing by wearing all black, bonding with Noah the gorgon’s snake, Felix, and moving pencils with his mind.

‘The Magicians’: Being unkillable is my discipline

The Magicians
“Lost, Found, Fucked”
January 30, 2019

“Go in the woods.  Get a pig.”

The Monster could just conjure one, but it has to be caught with human hands and stained with human effort.  A wild pig. The younger the better. Enyalius won’t come without a sacrifice.

‘Supernatural’: That’s it? Really?

Supernatural
“Ouroboros”
March 7, 2019

THEN: “Michael gets out, that’s it for this world.”

NOW

Team Free Will 2.0 is hunting a monster with a taste for human flesh, artfully prepared. Between popping eyeballs like they’re marinated olives and opening up a dude’s rib cage like it’s a crown roast, this may be the most gleefully gruesome episode of Show since the couple that ate each other to death in Season 5’s “My Bloody Valentine.”

‘The Magicians’: Fix it

The Magicians
“A Flock of Lost Birds”
January 23, 2019

The Monster and Brian stand beside an ice cream truck.  They’re both spattered with blood.  The Monster says Brian got so much on him from that boring waiter.  He can get cleaned up when they get to the temple in Greece.  They have to hurry now.

‘Legacies’: Make a wish

Legacies
“There’s a World Where Your Dreams Come True”
February 7, 2019

The canopic key has been glowing and Hope and Alaric are on edge waiting for whatever monster is coming next.

“I just wish that Satan’s nightlight would give us some rest.”

“And I wish that knife was never in our school to begin with.”

“I wish Buffy Summers Hope had never come to Sunnydale this school.”

Now there’s a wish a djinni with an agenda can work with.

And honestly, it’s like no on this show has ever seen an episode of Buffy.

‘Supernatural’: Who does that make us

Supernatural
“Lebanon”
February 7, 2019

THEN: “Dad’s on a hunting trip. And he hasn’t been home in a few days.”

NOW

The boys pop in to Precious Pawn, but they’re not interested in what’s on public display.  The wad of cash Dean flashes at the owner gains them access to the good stuff in the back.  It’s a treasure trove of mystical objects.  Your hands of glory, gris-gris bags, dragon’s breath, creepy dolls …

‘Supernatural’: I believe in us

Supernatural
“Prophet and Loss”
January 31, 2019

THEN: “Some people just can’t be saved.”

NOW

The Ma’lak Box rests on the bottom of the ocean.  Droplets of water ooze through its seams.  Dean tries to breathe through the rising panic, but he can’t ignore the groaning creak of the metal. I guess Billie’s instructions didn’t factor in the PSI of the Pacific Ocean.

‘Legacies’: We are goo positive

Legacies
“Maybe I Should Start from the End”
January 24, 2019

‘Supernatural’: We don’t hug

Supernatural
“Damaged Goods”
January 24, 2019

THEN: “They all end the same way now.  Except one.”

NOW

Sam is in the library digging back through the angel lore looking for anything that might help them with Michael.  He says he can use some help, but Dean thought he might take Baby out for a spin.  Maybe swing by Donna’s cabin and visit Mary.
