Supernatural: S6 Ep12-Like A Virgin

Tonight is the mid season premiere for one of the best shows on television, Supernatural.  The episode was originally scheduled for last week, but The CW execs postponed it a week.

Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as brothers Sam and Dean Winchester who travel around the country hunting Supernatural phenomenon.

Here's what TV Guide has to say about tonight's installment:


Virgins mysteriously disappear, and Dean and Bobby learn that dragons are responsible for the kidnappings. Dean seeks out a weapon to slay the beasts, but he must prove himself worthy before he can claim it. Meanwhile, Death tries to restore Sam's soul. 


Okay, I'm going to go away from my normal routine of doing a play by play recap of the entire episode.  Why?  Because it's nearly 2:15AM, and I really need to start getting a little more sleep at night.


At the end of the mid season finale, Death was putting Sam's soul back into his body.  In this episode, the deal has been sealed and Castiel gives the verdict that Sam's soul is indeed reincorporated.  The only problem is that the wall that Death has erected inside of Sam has left him without any memory of what has transpired through the first half of the season.


During the episode, Sam finds out from Castiel what happened over the past months and now wants to make up for the things he did while soul-less.  Dean still wants to protect Sam from the truth, but Sam is determined to put things right.


Tonight, we also find out who the next big bad is going to be.  Seems that Crowley wasn't the only one interested in purgatory.  The dragons (who take the shape of humans) are kidnapping virgins.  We find out that they are wanting to perform a ritual to open a door to purgatory and release the "Mother of All".  They need a vessel for "MoA" to inhabit and that explains the need for the virgins.


At the end of the episode, the dragons succeed at opening the door and letting "MoA" into our world.


Great return for the series.  I liked Robo-Sam quite a bit, but it's good to have Sammy back to himself now. 


Next week it looks as if Sammy runs into a bit of legal trouble and ends up behind bars.


Until next time,
-Bill-
