SN11 EP18: Hell’s Angel

Written By: Brad Buckner & Eugenie Ross-Leming

Directed By: Phillip Sgriccia

I’ll be honest with you, dear readers, I don’t even know where to start with this one.  I mean, I know it’s my job to break all this down for you, but this one was… well, how does the word “OhmyChuckthey’retryingtokillus” sound to you?  Yeah, you’re right, it’s probably too hard for non-fans to pronounce.

Okay, let me try again.

I have to admit, that at first I was like “Where are they going with this?”  I mean, I love Crowley as much as you can actually love The King of Hell… but I was shaking my head wondering what he was up to. BUT, please take note that is a very big ‘but’, once he had The Horn of Joshua, The Show was off and running.

Last night we saw the return of a few famdom favorites… Mark Pellegrino (as Lucifer), Ruthie Connell (as Rowena, who was presumed dead after Lucifer broke her neck. But as we’ve learned over and over again…nobody stays dead on Supernatural), and more importantly we saw the return of Sam’s ‘bitch face’.  I was so very glad to see Ruthie…uh… I mean, Rowena back.  I’m not ashamed to admit that I had a bit of a fangasm right there on my couch.  Yep, sure did.  So anyway, Rowena was helping Amara (Emily Swallow) heal after that “dreadful smiting” from the Angels.  Then, once Amara aka The Darkness showed off the depth of her power, Rowena was more than a little  … hmm…. frightened beyond belief doesn’t seem to cover it.  Anyway, she changed her mind and decided to try Team Winchester again.  That’s right, she went running to The Boys and their temporary team mate Crowley.

The best line of the night was in fact a line and then a reaction.  Sam is telling Dean that Cas wanted to say “yes” to Lucifer.  And, Dean responds, “Yeah, well there’s times I want to be slapped during sex by a girl wearing a Zorro mask, but that doesn’t make it a good idea.”  Then there’s Crowley’s reaction.  I actually had to rewind and watch that one a few times.  Okay, so many times that Lucy (my BFF that watches The Show with me every week) got a little peeved with me.  It was priceless.  Go watch it; I’ll wait.

Waiting…

See!  Told ya!

There were a lot of tense moments that kept me on the edge of my seat during this episode.  The fight inside Cas’ head was … well… things got broken.  Mark Pellegrino is just the best Lucifer EVER!  But, that ending?  Man, I can’t believe I willingly let them do this to me every damn week.  Seriously.

Anyway, next week is the first of two weeks off then when The Show comes back on the 27th it’s another MotW episode.  See ya’ll in two weeks!
