Description
Supernatural Season 7, Episode 6, Slash Fiction recap 🪞 Leviathans have copied Sam and Dean, and the evil twins are on a bank-robbing, diner-shooting killing spree across the country while the real Winchesters are suddenly America's most wanted (again), on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast.
First, a huge thank you to Michelle and Lynn of SPN Verse, Ellen of Mystic Photography, Theresa of 3SA Photography, and Kera Styler for sharing the show and spreading the word! Then it's on to the episode, which opens with Sam's fabulously long hair... and the boys robbing a bank and gunning everyone down. Back at Bobby's, Bobby is torturing Chet, the nacho cheese Leviathan, who won't shut his cake hole, while the boys are on the run, sent to see Bobby's paranoid hunter friend Frank Devereaux (Kevin McNally) for new IDs (no more rock star aliases).
Episode Highlights:
- Sam's hair, and LA's very strong feelings about it
- Chet calling the boys his favorite meat-sicles (and Bobby: great, a Mensa monster)
- Frank Devereaux, our new favorite kook, smashing Sam's laptop and calling the boys psycho Butch and Sundance
- Dean jamming (subtly, he thinks) to Air Supply's All Out of Love
- The double-mint twins arguing over whose hair is better
- A Pulp Fiction-style diner robbery
- Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) cleaning Bobby's floors, and accidentally discovering the Leviathans' weakness (and getting a kiss for it!)
- A sheriff who believes the boys after seeing something he can't unsee
- Fake Dean dropping a bombshell on Sam
- Our first look at the Leviathans' big boss, Dick Roman (James Patrick Stuart), and Crowley's baby uvula muffins
In the lore segment, we dig into evil twins and doppelgangers: the ancient Zurvanite twins of good and evil from Zoroastrianism, the German doppelganger (double walker), and forensic anthropologist Dr. Teghan Lucas' study that found a one-in-a-trillion chance of anyone matching your face on eight measurements. (One in a quintillion for your body!)
"Well, if you're gonna be stupid, you might as well be smart." – Bobby Singer
