In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 4 episode 21 “When The Levee Breaks”. In the penultimate episode of season 4 Sam escapes Bobby’s panic room, where he had been imprisoned by Dean and Bobby so he can detox from drinking demon blood, and meets up with Ruby to get his fix. She reassures him that he needs it to stop Lillith. Dean tracks them down and the brothers fight. This episode sets the stage for the season finale and marks one of the most intense breaking points in Sam and Dean’s relationship.

We discuss whose side we are on in the Sam vs Dean fight; Sam’s character arc this season and how he got to this point; and Joy shares her thoughts about the lighting for the opening scene.

We also discuss Sam’s hallucinations and what they mean; how Sam and Dean turn into John when they are in stressful situations; and whether the drinking blood scene is hot or not. 

Joy’s Easter eggs are about a haunted hospital, and the gates of hell, in the location for this episode Jamestown, North Dakota.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!
