Episode Details

Supernatural Season 1, Episode 9, Home recap 🏡 The Winchesters go back to where it all began in Lawrence, Kansas, and Berly and LA meet Missouri Mosley, Mary Winchester's spirit, and one very haunted house on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast. And good news: LA survived last week without bug nightmares. Progress!

Sam has a premonition dream about their childhood home and finally confesses his psychic visions to Dean. Dean is NOT happy about going home, so he calls Dad's voicemail for emotional support while pretending he needs the bathroom. The boys meet Jenny, the new homeowner dealing with mysterious scratches, flickering lights, and a dishwasher that suddenly quit, while her daughter Sari is convinced something lives in her massive walk-in closet (seriously, that closet is bigger than most bedrooms).

Enter psychic Missouri Mosley, played by the incredible Loretta Devine, the woman who first opened John Winchester's eyes to the supernatural. She reads Dean like a book, warns him off her furniture before he even thinks about it, and we are OBSESSED. Bring her back!

Episode Highlights:

• Another almost-shirtless Dean scene (so close, yet so far)
• Sam casually admitting they're the Winchesters instead of lying (character growth!)
• Richie the juice junkie in his baby jail
• The poor plumber losing his hand to the garbage disposal, the goriest scene of the episode (a COLUMN of blood)
• Missouri smacking Dean upside the head and Sam LOVING it
• Dean with an axe (Shining vibes, anyone?)
• Sam getting strangled by a lamp cord while doing that hot tension thing Jared does so well
• The big reveal: MAMA WINCHESTER is the flaming spirit protecting her boys
• Mary telling Sam "I'm sorry" (wait, what did YOU do, Mary?!)
• Jeffrey Dean Morgan FINALLY appearing on Missouri's couch in the final scene

In the lore segment, we dig into poltergeists, from the famous Enfield poltergeist in London to the (probably fake) Rosenheim case in Germany, plus the theory that the activity comes from a stressed-out living person (recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis, if you want to sound smart at parties). Then Berly confesses she had a poltergeist in her college condo, and her theory is that she was such a bad roommate she stressed her roommate into creating it. When the roommate moved out, the activity stopped. Mystery solved?

"Boy, you put your foot on my coffee table, I'm gonna whack you with a spoon." – Missouri Mosley
