Possibly the last MOTW of the season. Hoping it won't suck. It does look creepy from the spoilers.

"Weathertop." LOTR reference.

Sorry, had some connectivity issues because Murphy's Law.
Starting now with a lame recap of Mary/Retch and the LoL last week.
Cut to Now in Tomahawk, Wisconsin. Four teens (three boys and a girl) are hanging out, drinking, around a fire. One boy and girl are engaging in annoyingly unapologetic PDA. One of the other boys, Daryn, wants to watch, but his friend just wants to go home. As he walks along the creepy trail in the woods, he sees a bag of money, with a green glowstick. When he picks it up, he finds it's a trap and gets tied to a tree, then his head smashed in by a goat-headed dude, in front of his friend, who has heard his cries for help.
Dean leaves yet another voice message for Castiel, then sits down for a talk with Sam while cleaning the Colt. Sam gets a message from Mick (you know...dead Mick) about DTG and off they go. Back at the poorly-defended LoL bunker, Retch says the bait is set to some henchdicks who will probably not survive the ep.
The Brothers talk to an oddly disengaged sheriff, who tells them about DTG's bad family life and how he must have run away, while working on his taxidermy project.
The Brothers then talk to DTG's friend (cue sneak peek) who tells them about DTG getting killed by "Black Bill." Later at a diner, Sam says it's a local legend. Dean hits on the blonde waitress, who is into it, and clocks out for the night.
Meanwhile, DTG's friend gets yelled at by his boss about slacking at work due to his buddy's death, goes out to his truck afterward, and gets attacked/killed by Black Bill.
The next morning, Dean says goodbye to the waitress at the same diner and meets Sam there. Then he snags Sam's breakfast. Clearly, Dean has had sex.
Sam thinks he's on to the MOTW, that it's a satyr. His graphic description of how satyrs eat their prey puts Dean off Sam's breakfast. Sam says DTG's friend's mom says he never made it home the night before, ditto didn't show up for his job. There's an inspection going on at the plant, which is owned by the sheriff. It's a meat-packing plant. Convenient. Oh, and the sheriff is there. Acting sketchy.

DTG-F wakes up inside a freezer, which is conveniently signed outside as having a coolant leak. Sam and Dean walk past, but can't hear him over the compressor noise. He finds his friend, dead and frozen, then is stalked and presumably killed by the MOTW.
At the diner, Sam is pissy about what Dean eats. It turns out Dean cross-checked the other victims' names. They were all employees at the plant. Sam has found out that the company used to own everything in town, but the sheriff has been selling everything off. The Brothers check out the house, but not before "Mick" texts them and Sam texts back.
Cut to the LoL invading the Bunker for a reconnaissance you'd think that idjit Toni would have already done. I hope Dean set rat traps. Retch is especially crabby about Mick giving the Brothers the Colt, which was, y'know, theirs in the first place. Lots of people who have no claim on that thing sure get pissy about having its owners get it back.
Meanwhile, the Brothers find the sheriff's "murder room" in the basement and get the jump on him when he comes downstairs. It turns out the family got rich by keeping a "monster" under its house and feeding it. It's Moloch. We have flashbacks to the murders. The sheriff says when he became family head, he tried to clean things up and kept Moloch locked away, hoping he would "starve to death." Obviously, it didn't work so well.

Moloch was in the sub-basement. Not any more. They hear a noise upstairs. Dean goes to investigate, leaving Sam to guard the sheriff. There's a goat suit upstairs. As he checks it out, some kid knocks him over the bannister and Sam in the basement with the sheriff, leaving Dean unconscious.
The sheriff grabs a cleaver, but it's to help. When they come out, Dean is missing. Sam tracks his cell phone.
At the Bunker, to the shittiest faux-60s Brit spy music ever, the LoL do a really poor job of casing the joint. They need to piss off back to Britain, already. Where they can preferably die of ennui and never be spoken of again. Then Retch finds that photo of Mary and Young Dean and becomes thoughtful.
So, the guy who attacked Dean and has him tied up in the cooler is the sheriff's half-brother and the plant manager. And he's a whiny, monologuing dickhead who thinks he can control Moloch. His version of the Family Business is opposite to Dean's.

Meanwhile, the LoL leave...something. Dear Chuck, they suck. Juxtaposing an actually-decent MOTW with their nonsense really shows it up.
Oh, and Dean gets loose in record time. Leaving him stuck with the Minotaur--sorry, Moloch--while Sam and the sheriff enter the plant and get stalked by Loser Half-Bro.
Oh, hey, a decent stalking sequence involving Dean. PleaselethimgetthekillshowPleaselethimgetthekillshow
Pleaselethimgetthekillshow. And Sam gets attacked by Redneck Man. Who gets the drop on his brother, then gets shot. Sorry, dude, but you were not the Hero.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, SHOW? You have to give Sam the kill EVEN NOW? BOTH KILLS?
I am so done with the Dabb Era of this show.

So, Sam tries to hurt/comfort with Dean, which doesn't help. The sheriff tells them they should go. It's his family and his legacy--his mess to clean up.
Back at the Bunker, written plot-stupid so they are unaware of having been raided, Dean asks Sam what their legacy may be. Sam says that the people they saved will remember them, though that memory will fade, too. But that's okay, since they "left the world a better place." Dean wonders if the Bunker will go to some future Hunter and then carves his initials in the table. He has Sam do it, too.
Sam decides to call Retch, who bullshits them about Mick having returned to London and says they "report" to him, now. Oh, and he kept the photo of Mary, because surely, Dean won't notice *that*. idjit. Looking forward to his slow and painful demise.

So, pretty decent MOTW ruined by gratuitous LoL bullshit and Sam getting *both* kills AGAIN.
Can we start a "Fire Dabb and Singer" petition, or something?

We never wrote to the right people, Snow. We wrote to the showrunners, who don't care about us, when we should have been writing to Pedowitz and Roth.

Promo in two weeks (next week is a repeat of that lame Super-Hell Hound ep). Can't say it's wowing me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlNB_u0mlXQIt's Easter Week, so I have a feeling tonight's episode will hit a new low.

The psycho nutjob Wincesters and J1 types who love to inform Danneel and Gen that they are standing in the way of TWU MANWUV are doing their level best to dominate the Twitter stream. It therefore amuses me that much more that my angry tweet about Dean not getting the obvious kill is right near the top.

I'm pretty mad. I thought this time Dean would surely get the kill.

I'm pretty mad. I thought this time Dean would surely get the kill. You and a whole lot of other fans. You don't lock one of the leads in meat locker with the MOTW, have him get chased around, then have the other lead just walk in and shoot the MOTW. The usual point of separating the leads with different bad people is to give each of them a kill. If the point was to give Jensen more time off, why put him in a chase sequence in the first place?

I hope there are lots of upset fans that let the Dabb know. I sent him a tweet. Is there contact info for Pedowitz?

I don't think Pedowitz has a twitter account but I'm pretty sure there's a mailing address out there. I'm planning to write him myself but since it's too late to effect this season, I might wait until after the finale in May.
