Sam seems eager to take on a new
investigation of mysterious deaths. Could there be witch at work in
a small town in Indiana?

The investigation leads to Maggie Stark
(Charisma Carpenter) who certainly has some motive in the deaths but
her husband, Donald (James Marsters) may have deserved all this wrath
as he cheated on her. The investigation involves some fair amount of
thrills and humor as the Winchesters narrow down the suspects and
motives. We soon find out that there is more witch at work here and
a war between the two seems likely. Sam and Dean attempt to put a
stop to this while also attempting to stay alive.

| The writers nailed this one! |
I enjoyed this story a lot. It was
certainly more old school with a bit more comedy than recently.
Because this is considered to be a more comedic episode one could
forgive the fact that Dean and Sam left town without killing both
murdering witches. Only a couple of episodes ago Dean 'had to' kill
the good monster (Jewel Staite) even though she said he wouldn't
again. Now they leave town with two witches who killed some locals
just to get back at one another. I guess the difference is that one
kills for survival and the others out of anger. Really sends double
messages. If it is being hammered into the viewers head that Dean
killed the good monster because of who she was and Sam has yet to
find out, then leaving town in this episode conflicts with this.

It was good to see Charisma and James
together again. Both actors have been fairly busy on TV and movies
and now the mini reunion gives Buffy/Angel fans a little
something. Their performances are good in a story that, like I said
before, is more light-hearted. Speaking of hearts, there is a higher
level of blood and gore than usual in this one. We always get a fair
amount of blood and gore but with nail guns being shot into eyes,
mini hearts pulsating within cupcakes and “Clean up on Aisle 7”
there was a bit of squirming coming from my wife during these bits.
All in all, one of the best stories this season.
The decline of Dean in drinking and the new Sam (Exercising and drinking bottled water) will no doubt factor in as the season goes on. Of course the Winchesters do end up
with a captured Leviathan in the end so that should set up a very
interesting story next week.
