Missouri did sense her. She said there were two spirits in the house, before Sam or Dean were in any danger. I'm just wondering if a "normal" ghost can fight a poltergeist.

SAM: You said there was more than one spirit.

MISSOURI: There is. I just can’t quite make out the second one.

Oops. Then maybe she was just a regular ghost. In terms of fighting a poltergeist, though, I would imagine it's like any mother protecting her children -- in the face of danger, you've got more strength.

It occurs to me that Dean was all pissed Cas was inhuman again. But he's got so much more emotion than Sam does right now. I wager he'd even give a better hug. He understands the power of drinking to Dean, even if he wasn't imbibing along with him. Sam didn't even notice their potential shared drinking moment.

My question is, that since she didn't normally pass on, but hung out for 20+ years, and then fought another spirit and then went up in flames--does she get the same treatment as a normal death?

Ooh, nice. That gesture struck me as odd, that Cas would be enabling his crutch. And then it hit me that Cas, as usual, wasn't judging Dean. Dean needed a drink, it's the least (and only thing) Cas can do.

does she get the same treatment as a normal death?

Oh. That I don't know.

Dean's totally wrapped up in Sam right now, but Cas *is* being remarkably human. He's just split. Dean, especially now that he's not with Lisa, is monomaniacal and doesn't understand people that care about him (all two of them--not counting Sam or Sampa, because one can't feel and the other is plain shady) not dropping everything in pursuit of what's clearly most important. Getting Sam right again.

Which, seriously, is why I'll ship Dean/Cas over Dean/Lisa any day. Cas gets that, even if he can't be for Dean all that Dean wants--he's willing to try. Lisa has more important things in her life. Like, say, her life.

I was all worked up for this week's thigh holster, but I had no idea sniper sights were as hot. Every time I see that preview I become a more hard-core Dean!girl.

I also love the actor who played the Alpha. I remember him from that show with Tim Daly where they were risk managers. That was a really good show.

What was he doing with his nail that got him free?

he was scratching through the leather band that held him to the chair.

I loved the automatic reaction to Sam raising his gun. Dean didn't even look. Great moment.

Eyes! Yes. That's where I remember him from, too.

Thanks, I was trying to make that so much more complicated.

I think Dean needs to start insisting Sam create an itemized list of all his enhanced capabilites since his return, like not needing any sleep, ever, so he can do the driving at night when they need to get somewhere in a hurry, and the ability to escape ropes and (self-professed ability to get out of) locked rooms, and the increased hotness factor, which is good for me, if for nothing else.

Really, neither Dean nor Cas reacted to Sam just brushing the ropes away. Did I misunderstand that? He just kind of magicked them undone, didn't he?

I saw Sam physically working at the knots, but his declaration that the panic room couldn't hold him... lies? Maybe the basic point being that Dean would have to be prison guard 24/7 in order to hold Sam, and then there'd be no spare time left to try and fix him? (Shoot, Dean and Cas were right there and he still got free). "You can't hold me, but I'm willing to stay with you if you'll work with me"?

The BB seems to have broken all the writers, and I've run out of fic. So I'm going back and reading what I really wasn't all that interested in. Have just been scarred by Zacchariah making out with Gabriel.
