Supernatural Recap: The Winchester Boys Have Serious Mommy Issues

Except that's literally how the Winchesters got him locked back up the first time around, back when seasons 5's "Swan Song" was the definitive episode of the series. Who knew that one day, we would have a show on our hands where handsome leads tied to chairs with minimal material covering those sweaty, heaving muscles would be kind of old hat? Pining for Mary ( Samantha Smith) and looking wistfully at old photographs while getting wasted in some lonely corner of wherever they're squatting this week is pretty standard Winchester operating procedure -- particularly on the Dean Winchester ( Jensen Ackles) model. Two episodes into the post-Darkness world, and Mary Winchester is still kicking, struggling to make sense of the two co-dependent, thirty-something, monster-slaying-and-occasionally-possessed-by-the-devil-himself brothers who were barely out of diapers (or, in Sam's case, still firmly in diapers) the last time she saw them. Dean has a solid idea of his mother -- colored by a child's perspective and fueled, no doubt, by his father's own idealization of the dearly departed -- but Sam, on the other hand, has a relatively blank concept of his mother. The crisis with the British Men of Letters may be over for now and Lucifer may be looming like an inevitable herpes flare-up, but the biggest monster threatening the Winchesters right now is their own flawed humanity.
