A strange and urgent call to Sucky John's still-active cell phone leads our battle-weary Intrepid Heroes to Windom, Minnesota, this week, where they discover a previously unknown bit of their worthless excuse of a so-called father's past in the form of one Adam Milligan, an eighteen-year-old pre-med student at the University of Wisconsin who just so happens to be their half-brother. Yep, Sucky John was also very *friendly* personty John back in the day, and while in town on a job in January 1990, he managed to knock up the ER nurse who tended to the many wounds he received from the mysterious beastie he'd been battling -- "mysterious" because Sucky John eventually ripped all Windom-related entries from his demonic day planner, the better to continue f**king with Sam and Dean from beyond the grave. Or something like that.
Needless to say, Dashing El Deano's immediately suspicious of this Adam kid, and surreptitiously sets up a couple of tests during their initial meet-and-greet at Cousin Oliver's Diner. Unfortunately, Adam downs a glass of holy water and handles actual silverware without so much as batting an eyelid, so Dean's forced to concede the little bastard's neither demonically enhanced nor a shapeshifter, and Sam and Dean settle in to deal with the reason for Adam's urgent call: His mother's gone missing, and the local cops don't seem to be too interested in doing anything about it. Of course, Our Dear Boys immediately find bits and pieces of Mother Milligan's intestines in the vents of Adam's childhood home, so things aren't looking too good for Sucky John's erstwhile slampiece. Adam, with Darling Sammy's full-throated approval, immediately plots revenge, but Dean just as vociferously shouts that idea down, as he's seen what a seasons-spanning vengeance kick has done to one of his brothers, and he'll be damned -- again -- if he lets the same thing happen to the other.
Turns out Dean needn't have worried, naturally, because the Adam Milligan they've been dealing with all episode is actually the vengeful, shapeshifting, ghoulish offspring of the ghoul beastie Sucky John slaughtered back in 1990, and the real Adam Milligan -- who, not so incidentally, actually was their half-brother -- has been a-moldering in the grave since before the first call to Sucky John's cell. Darling Sammy and his remarkably healthy forearms find themselves briefly imperiled when the ghoul and his equally vengeful sister (more on her in the recap, I'm sure) manage to separate him from his brother, but Dean rides to the rescue at the very last instant with a sawed-off shotgun and, like, a claw hammer, or whatever, and quickly makes hamburger out of the nasty ghouls' heads which, as I'm sure you all know, is the only real way to kill ghouls dead.
And the episode ends as so many this season have done: Depressingly, with the audience collectively reaching for the laudanum, as Sam and Dean salt and burn their dead half-brother's remains, because their lives are so epically miserable, and why should any of the rest of us bother to carry on? Sigh. Damn you, Kripke!
What paranormal creature should the boys take on next? Our vlogger has an idea.
