Recap of Claire, werewolves (with the usual sad attempt to make werewolves sound "badass"), and Sam's dumbass decision to join the LoL.
Cut to a girl coming out of a bar and getting busted by her older brother. As they walk home, the girl hears some breaking branches and sends her brother off on a wild goose chase while she walks back toward the bar, smug. But as the brother searches, her hears her scream. And finds her apparently dead. A thing with a mask attacks him and rips out his heart, then concentrates on the girl.
I hope she's really dead because...yeah. Show's still not batting 1000 on hiring actresses to play teens.
Cut to a room with no windows in the LoL bunker and a weird map where Dean is pissed off at Sam for the LoL making them wait. Dean says he's going to wait in the car. Mick shows up, acts all stereotypically British (no, show, Brits are not all psychopaths) about the remaining bloodstains from the recent vampire attack.
Mick gives them the DTG case and wants to "tag along." Dean is unimpressed.

Dean tells Sam he's going to have to babysit Mick, who proceeds to brag in the car some more about his knowledge of werewolves and how the LoL killed off all the werewolves in Britain (sure...like the vampires, right?). The Brothers (rather unwisely) mention Garth as someone who has managed to live with lycanthropy, but Mick is not impressed.
Dean starts to like this hunt better when Mick checks them into a three-star hotel. And proceeds to skinny-dip in the pool the next morning. Dammit, Dean, you need to come visit my local YMCA. I could use some of that scenery while I'm doing laps.
At the hospital (the annoying younger sister died), the Brothers won't let Mick talk to the girl and the mother won't let them talk to the girl. Mick comes in with a lab coat and sends the mom out. The mom starts to open up to the Brothers, while Mick checks the girl's bite. Uh-oh. Mick's probably going to try to kill her, 'cause she's almost certainly being turned. Sure enough--he lies to the Brothers about her having wounds.
The mother says that there are "Bigfoot truthers" sniffing around the case and mention a young girl with the "Fish and Wildlife Service" who turns out to sound like Claire.

Claire is out by her car when she gets a call--from Dean doing a mean impression of a Canadian park service guy and Yogi the Bear. She meets the Brothers and Mick at a restaurant. Claire is unimpressed. Mick excuses himself early--to file a report, he says--but it's really to go kill the DTG at the hospital. Which he botches quite badly when she wolfs out in the middle of his sticking a needle in her IV. Loser.

At the hospital, DTG's body has no wounds. Dean quickly figures out she must have wolfed out and healed before dying. Dean is clearly suspicious of Mick and Mick's claim that he saw no bites on her, especially after the doctor says she was covered with wounds.
Dean apportions the troops--Sam and Claire to talk to the girl whom DTG was supposed to be sleep-overing with and Dean taking Mick to the bar. They talk to a guy with a tat who was hitting on Claire and DTG. Dean also easily catches Mick out in a lie and slams him for it outside, calling him out on having killed DTG. Mick claims that he and the LoL don't have the "luxury" of letting monsters go, that they have a "code." Dean is unimpressed.
So am I, because YOU ARE NOT IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY, MICK. Mick has *zero* grounds for bitching about how well Sam and Dean are doing things in *their* country. The LoL's attempts to hunt in the U.S. are an invasion, pure and simple. They were not invited, by anyone.
Meanwhile, Claire tries to ditch Sam, whining that Jody doesn't let her hunt and that the Brothers just pop in and out of her life, that they treat her like a kid. Sam suggests that if she doesn't want to be treated like a kid, "then stop acting like one." Go, Sam.
Naturally, Claire goes off in a huff, tries to hunt the werewolf on her own by acting as bait, and gets bitten. Ugh, Claire, come on. That was such a Jo Harvelle move.

So, Claire wakes up and sees an attacker, but it's Sam, who helps her up. Back at the motel, both brothers are furious with Mick. Sam says they're "done." Dean tries to reassure Claire that she can live with lycanthropy, but she doesn't want to do it. Sam says the LoL have a cure involving the blood from a sire, but Mick insists they've only done it successfully (1 in 10) on mice. The one human subject died horribly.
So, I'm guessing Mick is gonna die soon because he's quite unsympathetic in this and not a learner.
So, the Brothers go to the bar to find the sire's blood. They leave him with Claire, but Dean warns Mick that if anything happens to Claire, Dean will kill him. Mick doesn't seem to take this seriously--he doesn't understand that Dean would torture him first and that Dean is *good* at that.
As the Brothers look for the sire, Claire starts to freak out and asks Mick to shoot her. But Mick is having second thoughts about this whole "code" thing and tries to find ways to restrain her.
And, of course, the sire shows up. He knocks Mick down and knocks Claire out, then carries her off.
Ugh. The writing this season...ugh.

We knew it was going to happen, per the synopsis, but the way they did it, just like how they write the LoL's motivation, was really stupid.

The Brothers come back and find Mick waking up. He says he put a tracker on her (this doesn't actually make him worth being around because of all the dumb things he's done that got everyone into trouble).
Meanwhile, at the monster's pad, Loser Wolf Boy monologues at Claire about losing his pack to Hunters and tries to feed her a human heart. Mercifully, the Brothers show up with Mick. Dean knocks Claire out, while Mick gets the kill of the sire (because it seems that Andrew Dabb & Co. have no interest in giving Dean *any* monster kills, anymore). Then they dart a wolfed-out Claire with the "cure."

Muting the incessant Riverdale adds because ugh.
Anyhoo, back from commercials and Claire is still going through the "cure." Dean has to leave because he can't stand to watch her in pain. She goes into a coma, or something. Sam thinks she's dead and calls Dea back in. Dean comes in and can't believe it. But then Claire's wolf nails recede and she opens her eyes. She survived the cure.
Afterward, Dean thanks Mick for saving Claire, but both Brothers are not quite feeling forgiving. They tell him he screws up again and he's done.
Claire thanks them for saving her. Sam asks her if she's going to tell Jody. She says she's not sure. Over a montage of Claire hugging Dean while Sam looks on, smiling, she leaves Jody a message and tells her she's hunting alone, but will be back, and thanks her for being a mother to her. She drives off to Joan Jett's "I'm a Wild One."
So, you know how Alex got cured of vampirism and that was actually a good episode? Well...not this one so much.

Yay! We have our promos back! Promo for next week. You know how the LoL are supposedly ruled by Evil Old White Men? Try an Evil Old White Bitch. She sics Mick on the Brothers and on Eileen, who returns next week. Guess who's unlikely to survive next week? I'm guessing Mick. EOWB may make it to the end of the season, unless they have Dean go full-on Styne Hunting in the penultimate episodes.
