Recap & Review: This week, Supernatural returns to the plot for this season with Castiel and Dean’s return from hell. The past few weeks, the focus has been elsewhere. The series, in many ways, returns to its roots, and I did enjoy that. Simple and easy. The brothers had a case to fight, and that was it. No angels or demons. No mysterious powers that Sam has. This week, Halloween is a focus of the series, and the episode starts with a mother bringing home candy for the day. The woman’s husband eats some of it, and he swallows four razor blades. He dies almost instantly.

This brings in Sam and Dean on the case. The next strange death that happens is at a party where a girl bobs for apples. In the process, the water heats up and she drowns. Sam figures out what is happening. Another demon is about to be unleashed. One more death and Samhain will be raised from hell. The brothers need to find the witch responsible, and they believe that they do that. However, this is when they see Castiel and another angel. Unless Samhain is stopped, another seal will be broken. In order to stop, the angels plan to destroy the town and they need Dean and Sam out of it before they can do that. However, Dean convinces the angels that he and Sam can do it.

Sam thinks they found the wrong person though. The witch might be the teacher they met at the school. That night, they find him in the middle of spell, and they kill him. However, they were right in the first place. The witch was the girl. In fact, both of them were witches, and now with the one dead he is the final sacrifice. The girl is able to release Samhain with the use of a spell. Once he rises, he kills the girl, but when Sam hides him and Dean with the use of blood masks, he leaves them both alone. Their next stop is the cemetery, and Sam wants to use his powers. Dean tells him not to though because the angels wouldn’t want him too.

At the cemetery, the demon locks in a group of teens in tomb where the dead comes to life. All very thriller like, but these aren’t looking to dance down dark streets. Dean stays behind to fight them, and Sam goes off to fight Samhain. He first tries to use the knife, but when this doesn’t work for him, he uses his powers. He rids the body of the demon, but at what cost. One of the angels comes to visit him, and he is angry that Sam used his powers to deal with Samhain. He also reminds him that it is the anniversary of his mother’s death. The angel threatens Sam on continued use of his powers. Castiel also appears to Dean, and he learns the angels had been ordered to follow anything Dean said as a test. A test he passes. The first of many he will face.

Even with the return of the angel and hell plotline, this series stuck to what made it great. The brothers working together to destroy a demon. They do this successfully, but it still fit with the plot. This series is different than last year. It has more of what made me love the show to begin with. Next week, we see wishville where everyone gets a wish! To check out what’s hot on TV daily, go here .
