We’ve seen a lot onthis showover the years.
There have been talking teddy bears and dead imaginary friends.
Let’s get into it.

We’ll start with the bug of it all, because why not?
Sam heads out to meet up with Charlie and work a case of some missing people outside of Memphis.
Charlie has tracked all of the disappearances to a bus stop, where she also found some goo.
(Is Sam the Dean in this duo?)
With any stakeout comes a lot of downtime, which allows Sam to get to know this new Charlie.
), who owned a bakery.
For the first few days, everyone banded together and waited to be saved.
But when no one came to save them and food started running out, mobs started forming.
A lot of people died, including Kara.
In Charlie’s experience, people lose it when things go wrong.
That’s the thing about society, it falls apart.
That’s when Charlie drops the bomb that she plans to quit hunting after this job.
After all, who wants to be a hunter?
The job is filled with tears and death.
(She’s not wrong.)
As for this Charlie?
She wants to find a mountaintop with some good wifi and leave it all behind.
At least after they kill this Musca.
What’s a Musca?
Funny you should ask!
It’s a man-fly hybrid, and Charlie believes it’s what they’re waiting on.
So you know, normal stuff.
We’ve found our fly!
And it seems to die.
I guess flies of any kind are relatively easy to kill.
(Good thing it wasn’t half cockroach.)
She is nothing like the fly monster.
But she does get what he’s saying.
As hunters, they’re able to help people, and that is worth it.
So she agrees to think about staying.
(Also, apparently there are a bunch of these fly monsters?
I hope we never see them again.)
The other, slightly more successful story of the week involves Dean taking Jack out on a hunt.
And here’s the thing about small towns: Everyone knows everyone, and they all love to talk.
It seems Harper has quite the story: She was living a great life in high school.
She was the prom queen.
She had a loving boyfriend.
But ever since that boyfriend left her after graduation, she hasn’t been able to keep a man.
She spends all her time working at the library reading romance novels.
Apparently, Harper just has the worst luck when it comes to men.
For now, they need to play some good cop/bad cop.
(Next: Jack meets a zombie!)
And you know what?
Jack’s doing a pretty good job!
The moment he calls Dean “old man,” it’s game over.
Here’s the thing you oughta know about Harper: She has no boundaries.
Dean finds his body and tries calling Jack.
But Jack’s a little busy testing Harper.
Furthermore, she really seems to love herself some Jack.
But that luck might’ve just ended because she claims she experienced love at first sight with Jack.
(This is the Dean-Jack story we’ve always needed.)
Dean updates Jack about the new victim, and seconds later, Dean himself is attacked.
(Jack finally gets his zombie!)
Just then, Harper’s high school ex, Vance, busts down the door.
Dean tells Jack to get Harper to safety while he battles “Archie,” varsity jacket and all.
Harper and Jack head to the library to hide or so Jack thinks.
Now, he feeds on all the men who venture to steal his girl … and that includes Jack.
So what’s the plan?
That’s not something cough drops can fix.
Overall, I thought this was a fun episode.
I loved the Jack-Dean stuff, and I liked a lot of the Charlie-Sam stuff as well.
I’m just not entirely sold on the man-fly of it all.
But so long as it’s Charlie who’s stabbing it, I can deal.
