Thanks to Michael, maybe we should be calling monster-of-the-week episodes super-monster-of-the-week episodes?
This week, we start in Claremore, Oklahoma, where Maggie is working a case.
But she’s attacked before she can do anything.

That’s when Sam realizes that Maggie missed her check-in.
Rather, he’s Mr. Rawling’s nurse.
Mr. Rawling suffered a stroke recently and resides in a hospital bed upstairs.
His daughter Sasha is in town to get his affairs in order.
She tells him to ignore Bobby because the man has been missing a lot lately.
Aaaaand that brings us to Mary and Bobby.
Mary admits she thought they were getting close, but recently, things have changed.
All he wants to do is hunt.
There’s something he doesn’t want to talk about and his walls are up.
John Winchester certainly wasn’t known as being “open,” at least not to his boys.
But when Mary knew him, he was exactly that.
Sam tells Mary the story of our world’s Bobby and how he had to kill his wife.
Just then, they come across a fire where a hunter’s wallet has been burned.
Meanwhile, Dean and Bobby find a shed.
(It’s the owner of the wallet.)
Furthermore, Dean turns around and is attacked by the same old man who attacked Maggie.
And when he stabs the ghoul, it turns to … dust?
Either way, it’s strange.
(The Winchesters: Forever willing to walk straight into the room everyone else is running away from.)
(He’s abig Elsa fan.)
That’s what Dean does … or tries to do.
Yeah, he tries really hard.
In the attic, Sam finds Maggie moments before he’s attacked by a vampire.
But when he stabs it, it once again turns to dust.
What is happening!?
Meanwhile, in the woods, Bobby is attacked by a man with burned out eyes.
Specifically, he’s attacked by Daniel, his son.
That’s when Dean puts it all together.
He tells Sasha to “make him a sandwich” so that she gets out of the room.
Then he pulls a gun on Neil, Mr. Rawling’s nurse.
Neil is a djinn.
But Neil claims Dean already knew that … because when Dean was Michael’s vessel, he met Neil.
That’s how he got his upgrade: He can bring people’s nightmares into the world.
Before leaving, Dean unhooks Mr. Rawling and assures Sasha that her father will wake up.
And maybe he’ll get a chance to say sorry to his daughter.
Daniel was in it.
One day, they got separated and the angels took Daniel.
He never did find out what they did to his son.
And so, the two of them take a few weeks off so that Bobby can heal.
Once they head out, Sam and Dean call up all the hunters they know hey, Garth!
and let them know about the super-charged monsters.
In other words, Dean doesn’t believe that just yet.
This was a perfectly solid episode ofSupernaturalfor me.
