Episode Details

Supernatural Season 6, Episode 8, All Dogs Go to Heaven recap 🐕 Crowley sends the boys after a pack of skinwalkers, and the trail leads to Lucky, a sweet family dog who is VERY much not just a dog, on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast. (The title is a nod to the 1989 animated movie, and no, this one is not for kids.)

Crowley makes it clear: hunting alphas for him isn't optional. The boys investigate a string of animal attacks in Buffalo, New York, including the landlord who also happened to be a dog dad, and find themselves at the home of Mandy (Janet Kidder), her son, and their adorable German Shepherd, Lucky. Then we see Lucky’s reflection in the van's window... as a naked man (Andrew Rothenberg). Who then changes back into a dog and climbs into bed with Mandy. Yikes. Meanwhile, soulless Sam's idea of an acceptable plan is making Dean very, very nervous.

Episode Highlights:

• Crowley burning Sam’s hand to remind the boys who’s in charge
• Two blood splooges (#39 and #40), including the cannon-assisted car window
• Sam calling the locals mouth-breathing dick monkeys
• Lucky watching the morning news, very human of him
• Lucky deciding to put on clothes (thankfully)
• Silver bullets: don't mess with Dean
• Sam's very cold plan for Mandy and her son

In the lore segment, we dig into skinwalkers, shapeshifters with roots in Navajo tradition, and one pet guide's very unofficial advice on how to tell if your dog might be a skinwalker. (Unnatural appetite? Ours just loves sausage.)

Sam: "Why shack up with a family? Is it a kinky thing? You like to play with your food? Roll over, Lucky. Speak."
Lucky: "Go to hell."
Sam: "Already been. Didn't agree with me."
