Clip Show (8x22)

From Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural podcast Berly Land

Berly and LA tackle Supernatural Season 8, Episode 22: "Clip Show" - opening with the goriest moment of the episode as Tommy Collins's head literally explodes in front of his girlfriend.

Sam and Dean discover Men of Letters footage showing priests attempting to "cure" demons using purified blood injections. They find a secret dungeon with the prettiest devil's trap ever, then resurrect Abaddon by sewing her head back on. She escapes after her severed hand crawls up her body to remove the bullet - the hosts loved Alaina Huffman's performance making the hand seem alive.

Cas tries apologizing to Dean by buying him a care package (jerky, beer, pie, Busty Asian Beauties) in an adorable convenience store scene. Meanwhile, Metatron recruits him for Heaven-closing trials, starting with killing a flirty Nephilim waitress who complimented his coat.

The devastating turn: Crowley threatens to murder everyone Sam and Dean have ever saved unless they stop the trials. He kills people every 12 hours - Jenny Klein gets charred, and Sarah Blake suffocates while Sam holds her. They can't find the hex bag hidden in electronics in time.

The episode ends with Sam wanting to surrender and Dean insisting they continue, setting up an impossible dilemma for the finale. The hosts were emotionally wrecked by Sarah's death after really thinking they'd save her.

"I've had that hangover. Jaeger man."
