anyway my Louisiana oc is named Jean and then my Illinois oc is named Jeanette; and the entire thing is a joke on the fact that New Orleans and Chicago were both founded by guys named Jean-Baptiste and for years I thought it was the same guy.

HI HI HI Thank you for the ask box rambles I love them <3

Definitely did not go and binge the whole series, nope, not me

ANYWAY MY RAMBLINGS AS I WATCHED AND THOUGHTS UNDER CUT

I love this little green guy!

Marks parents seem to be murdered (go figure)

I'm assuming he was kidnapped in an ice cream truck/van??

Mark is kept in a cage without an actual bed it seems, at least when he isn't on camera

Are the puppets the actual children, or do they just represent them?

Mark keeps rubbing his side/stomach, maybe where his kidney was removed??

Child star shows an actual person so kidnapper might have started as a child star?

Grandma knows her kiddo is still alive (GET HIS ASS)

Is the plant guy who killed Big Monster Mr plant?

Donovan escapes???

Cupcake monster gets killed (very sadge)

WHY THE FUCK DID THEY PUT TOMATOES IN A FRUIT SALAD??? JAIL!!!!

apparently monsters are edible, might be some cannibali going on?

Also humans are considered monsters in this world

In "cooking" the newspaper is obscured, but it seems to read (missing childs body found, but not his head) Cupcake Monster???

UPDATE DEFO CUPCAKE MONSTER NOOOOOO

No Illinois, Minnesota or Indiana

Maybe the other kids were from Minnesota and Indiana, since Mark is from Illinois?

Aight my man was defo the child star, I'm assuming he is repeatimg the crimes of big monster???

Oop so search led to Indiana, snap my prior theory lol

Big monsters cousin changes last name

Frame lasted long on that, so I assume it's important

I keep forgetting Billy's name LMAO

Big monster and sewer? Seems like an It reference

So they're near Michigan now, noted

WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME :(((( I luv paper bag dog NOOOOOO

Mark seems more vocal and challeging billy more now

Billy straight up gave the kids psychedelics my god

Someone save the child pls

Donovan my beloved is traumatized:((((

Oooooh the photos in the background are crying now, I think those are Marks parents?

Mr plant defo killed Big Monster, king shit

OOOOOH

okay so kid star (johnny) met with big monster in the sewer, got murdered

But Billy was the one who encouraged him to, Billy was going to star in the movie before Big Monster was convicted. So he was the kid who was crying in the article because his role was dropped

NOOOOOO MARK IS ADDICTED TO DRUGS

Get HIS ASS GRANDMA

I can't read the teleprompter, get this dude some glasses.

Just remembered how Mark cannonicly has his photos taken???? And sold I think??? Wtf???

Donovan had started a charity:((( he thinks his friends are gone

The date on the newspaper in the back keeps changing

Can I fight Billy??? I think I could take him easy

Mark straight up ate a razor blade get this kid a doctor

OH MY GOSH THEY'RE GOING TO THE DOCTOR

APOLLO HAS BLESSED ME

the eye test in the back reads "Mark has one more week before I kill him" if my new son dies I riot

Can I adopt Mark

Goal list; dispose, replace, repeat

I wonder if there are other shows featuring Donovan and Cupcake Monster?

Why were they kidnapped?

Befriend that strange man??? NOOOO

Did my son just kill Billy???? HELL YEAH

RUN BOY RUN

MY SON IS SAFE!!!!

In conclusion, I would like to adopt Cupcake Monster, they are now my child. I would also like to punch Billy repeatedly :D

8x12: As Time Goes By

Then:

A family with a lifetime of happiness ahead of them!

Now:

1958:

In Normal, Illinois, a young boy is woken by his father wishing him sweet dreams and that he’ll see him in the morning. The father then heads off to work to a Men of Letters secret hideout. (Erm, I just looked at the episode order, we don’t know about the Men of Letter yet. Spoiler!) Anyway, the man enters and finds his colleague, Josie, waiting for him. It seems they’re getting initiated into some kind of secret society. 

A hooded man beckons Josie inside first. As the man waits, he hears screams. He dashes inside to find pure chaos. A robed man with bleeding eyes gives him something, pleading, “Henry, do not let Abaddon get it.”

Josie is really Abaddon! She sees Henry and he takes off running, with Abaddon in close pursuit. He locks himself in a room and starts making a potion for a spell. He makes a sigil on a door, chants his spell, and jumps right into Sam and Dean’s motel room. “Which of you is John Winchester?”

They demand to know who he is. When he doesn’t answer, Dean body slams him against the wall. Still, he insists that one of them must know John Winchester. They want answers from him --but he merely tells them there’s been a mistake and tries leaving. Unfortunately, at the mention of John, Sam and Dean are on high alert, so they handcuff the guy, which he breaks from instantly and escapes. (Sam and Dean are now handcuffed to the chair.)

A man out of time, Henry gloms onto the one thing that looks even remotely like home --the Impala. He checks the date on the license plate and then breaks the window (!) to break into the car.

(Man, I think Dean gets his flair for dramatics from his grandfather because Sam just walked up and opened the passenger side door --doofus just had to open that door and slide over to steal the car.) 

Back at the motel, the brothers test him for everything, but holy water doesn’t take out arrogance. John won’t talk to alpha-male monkey men. Dean lets it slip that John Winchester is his father. Before Henry can parse that fact, Abaddon busts through the door. She wants what he has. 

Henry pleads with Josie, the woman Abaddon possessed, but gets nowhere. That’s okay, because Dean’s got his demon knife, and stabs her in the back!

But, uh, it was more like stepping on a lego than death for her, so the boys and Henry run. 

The three of them pull over when they reach safety and Henry explains that Abaddon is a demon from Hell, and he is from 1958. 

He needs to see John Winchester. Dean breaks the news that John Winchester is dead. Henry breaks the news that he’s John’s father. 

Sam believes him. Dean is #TeamJohn (ofc) and says that Henry left when John was just a kid. Sam wonders if this was the reason --he traveled to another time and couldn’t make it home. 

(Sidenote: I love that Sam’s willing to give his time traveling deadbeat grandfather more of a chance than the vampire that SAVED his brother’s life...hrmf. But it does play nicely with both brothers --Henry has to earn Dean’s loyalty, family or not.) 

The family bonding includes discussing why Abaddon didn’t die from Ruby’s knife, shoving Abaddon back where she came, and learning about blood spells that require the use of the human soul. Henry is confused why the brothers don’t know about the last bit. “You’re Men of Letters, correct?”

Sam breaks the sad news that they’re hunters. Henry keeps winning Dean over by calling hunters “apes.” He then calls them legacies. “Legacies of what?”

Henry takes them to the Men of Letters secret hideout. It’s currently a comic shop. 

Henry explains what Men of Letters are and why it’s important that the brothers carry on the family legacy. “So you’re like Yodas to our Jedis?” Yes DEAN yes. 

Sam wonders why they’ve never heard of the Men of Letters. “Abaddon,” Henry concludes, and heads inside. He has the mysterious box still and wants to find another Men of Letters to help them stop Abaddon. 

(Funny time travel generational jokes ensue.)

Sam borrows a laptop and finds the article detailing the night of Abaddon’s attack. Henry hears the name Albert Magnus, and boom, they’re walking around a dark cemetery. Magnus was a code word for other Men of Letters-- to alert them that something was amiss. He sees another grave marker and realizes that the message is here, and asks his grandsons, “You boys ever exhume a body?”

At the comic shop, Abaddon strolls in like she invented dark ennui. She reels the young clerk towards her, steals her memories, covets her shirt, and...sends the clerk off on a wonderful, all-expense paid vacation to San Diego Comic Con! That’s...definitely what happened.

In the cemetery, Dean and Sam dig out the body because they are SUCKERS while their grandpa sits his aging bones cleanly on the edge of the grave and oversees their work. Henry doesn’t know the body buried  in the coffin, but he’s ready to investigate! He thinks a survivor may have stolen the identity of the buried body and may be still alive somewhere. Time to get moving! As soon as the Winchester boys rebury the body!

Back in the motel, I have to interrupt the recap for Motel Room Decoration Porn.

Henry whistles “As time goes by” like it’s a super normal thing to lounge around whistling songs while your future grandchildren research demons. They reminisce about the song. Henry bought a music box that played that song for John when he was a boy, to comfort him when he was scared. This tale brings GREAT comfort and not an OUNCE of jealousy to Dean, who changes the subject. The identity of the body belongs to someone who actually still lives in Lebanon, Kansas, and is terrifically old by now. Sam’s also uncovered a tidbit: according to their dad’s journal, Abaddon is a Knight of Hell. They’re the first-born and purest demons. 

Henry muses over John’s journal, and flips the pages to reveal initials engraved in the cover: HW. John was using his father’s journal - the one Henry had purchased to chronicle his own Men of Letters studies after his initiation. 

Henry realizes that he’s not heading back home after this mission. And although Henry is appalled that his son became a hunter instead of an esteemed Men (Man?) of Letters, he runs up against Dean’s defense of John enduring against hardship to become a hunter. While we often grit our teeth when we think of John and parenting in the same breath, I do get the sense that Dean’s defending his own life and choices here too. Dean’s emotions continue to radiate out of every pore like the sun on a cloudless day, because he lashes out at Henry for accepting his fate of never seeing his son again and being more loyal to the Men of Letters than his own family. Dean Bean!

Henry reads through John’s journal. SPOILERS! In the morning, Dean “I’ll never sleep under covers again” Winchester and Sam “How is my hair this perfect” Winchester wake up to discover Henry missing. Henry has left so he can fix everything! GREAT! Happy ending, episode done. 

At a small new age shop, Henry demands spell ingredients. He knows they’re there because of the hunter’s signs in the window. The shopkeeper aims a shotgun at his gut.

Henry offers to buy some wholesome chamomile, and then blows powder at her face while saying a quick incantation. She passes out immediately. f r o w n y f a c e

At the motel, Dean and Sam realize that some spell ingredients, like an angel feather from their trunk, are missing. Henry is trying to cook up another time travel spell! More important than this fact, though, is that Dean and Sam keep angel feathers in the trunk of the Impala! Sometimes I think LOL okay angel wings are ethereal and quasi-metaphorical on this show and sometimes I think THEY HAVE FEATHERS that you CAN TOUCH and my mind slips down soft, feathery wing-kink adjacent side tunnels…...

Ahem.

I’m fine.

News crops up. There’s one dead at Astro Comics.

Sam interrogates the last-remaining Men of Letters. He tells Sam that Abaddon was a “hired gun” who destroyed everyone. In the box Henry took is the key to every spell, every bit of Men of Letters knowledge. 

At the shop, Henry chants his time travel spell. When Dean tries to stop him, Henry tells him that reading John’s journal hurt. Dean reveals that reading his dad’s journal hurts “every damn time.” DAMN YOU DEAN WINCHESTER AND YOUR SOFT NOUGATY HEART!

Henry reveals his plan: he’ll travel back in time to an hour before Abaddon attacks and then THEY’LL have the upper hand. Dean’s concerned: he might not exist if Henry fiddles with the past. 

Sam asks the last surviving Men of Letters how to stop Abaddon, but the old man has no useful advice. Instead, he counsels Sam to chuck the key into the secret lair and scram to keep the secrets safe from Abaddon. Then Sam reveals that Dean has the key and Larry’s wife stands up, her eyes flicking to black. It’s Abaddon! She slices up her old foe while Sam tries to scram. 

Abaddon calls Dean and taunts him gleefully. She offers up a deal: Henry and the key in exchange for Sam. Henry’s still resolute about going back in time but Dean won’t risk him failing - not with “Sammy on the hook now.” Dean sleeper holds his grandpa. 

At the meeting spot, Dean offers over a grim Henry in exchange for Sam. Yay! Family reunion again!

Henry circles Abaddon while Sam and Dean try to scamper away. Abaddon traps them though and then stabs Henry through the gut with her BARE HAND. YIKES. Henry shakes it off, though and shoots her through the chin. Oh, he also doesn’t have the box anymore! It’s just a pack of playing cards. “I’ve been played!” Abaddon should have said.

Instead, Abaddon shrieks in rage and then discovers that she’s trapped in place. Abaddon ate a devil’s trap bullet, so her powers are nullified. Dean slices her head off and tells her he’ll carefully dismember her and bury her under cement which is some REAL DARK SHIT MY FRIENDS. It’s actually a comfort to know that he couldn’t follow through on the whole piece-by-piece dismembering!

Dean congratulates Henry on his win, while Henry slowly dies in Sam’s arms. “We’re Winchesters,” Henry tells them. “As long as we’re alive, there’s always hope.” With his dying breath, Henry tells them he’s proud of John because of Sam and Dean and...you know what? It’s a sideways compliment, but I’ll take it.

Sam and Dean bury Henry in the old Men of Letters graveyard. “The Winchester and the Campbells,” Sam reflects on their legacy. “The brains and the brawn.” Dean doesn’t appreciate the poetry of it. He only sees the pain. He also thinks about John’s pain, thinking that Henry abandoned him so many years ago when he died for his grandsons instead. “Freaking time travel, man.”

Sam pulls out Henry’s mysterious box. Time to open it up and see what’s inside! “We are legacies, right?”

What, the Quote-ans?

Is it absolutely essential, sir, that you keep your hands on me?

That’s no way to treat a lady

Seriously? Dudes time-travelling through motel-room closets? That's what we've come to?

Let me get this straight. You traveled through time to protect something that does you-don't-know-what from a demon that you know nothing about?

We had a deal!
