That scene of the mom putting her car in neutral and drowning her not!daughter - it broke me. Last time this show affected me like that was when Sam shot Madison (the girl/werewolf).
Even when this show is campy fun, every now and then they pull one of those.
That scene would have been more disturbing except that I just knew that the creepy child would show up again.
Oh, I agree, Wolfram. And the actress played it so well, completely strung out, not quite believing what she was doing but so afraid and exhausted.
You know, I was racking my brain as to where I've seen that scene before, and all I could come up with was South Park - Butter's Very Own Episode. I'm sure it's been done elsewhere too. But even though the scene wasn't original, the acting and direction were spot-on amazing.
Oh my ... I really enjoyed this episode. The minute Ben opened his present and yelled (approximation) "awesome! AC/DC rules!" my first thought was Dean's your daddy. And I just laughed and laughed at the similarities (hot chicks in the moonbounce!). Then it got scary ....
The "Lisa Lied" discussion spawned a plot bunny.

My first supernatural fanfic, and directly from this episode.
The whole demon-not-all-evil thing troubles me: it has the potential to upend the show's worldview, but we won't know that till we get more information.
Oh, I expect she's evil. I just don't think evil all follows exactly the same game plan. But I think she's evil.

Fantastic! I shall go look.
Ben: "Only bitches send a grownup."
Dean: (impressed) "You're not wrong."
Uh oh. Nice parenting, Dean.
I don't know. That's the kind of thing I find myself wanting to let my children know. Parenting is the job of rearing children to be adults, but some children need extra help in mastering childhood.
Cindy!
My "uh oh" was for teaching him how to take the kid down, though. Which, honestly? Not always a bad thing. But probably not the best when it's a) not your kid, and b) your very first instinct.
