When Witchy Exes Go to WarWelcome to another spellbinding episode of Gank That Drank, where hosts Krissy and Nate break down Season 7, Episode 5 of Supernatural, "Shut Up, Dr. Phil"! This bewitching installment features special guest stars James Marsters (Spike from Buffy) and Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia from Buffy) as feuding witch spouses whose marital problems are causing deadly consequences.The episode delivers some of the season's most creative kills as Maggie Stark (Carpenter) seeks revenge on her philandering husband Don (Marsters) by taking out everyone connected to his affairs. From salon blow dryer deaths to floating nail guns and eyeball martinis, this episode blends horror and humor in classic Supernatural fashion.Our hosts' drinking game includes rules for force pushes, dead plants, pie moments, and every time someone says "yeah, okay"—which happens repeatedly during Sam and Dean's awkward attempts at conversation. Meanwhile, the boys are dealing with their own issues, as Dean continues to have nightmares about killing Sam's friend Amy while trying to hide his guilt.The podcast also highlights the episode's significance to the overarching season plot, as we see the Leviathan hunter Chet tracking the Winchesters before being magically incapacitated by Don. Krissy and Nate discuss how this episode showcases Dean's moral inconsistency—he's willing to let the murderous witch couple live while having executed Amy for similar crimes.Other topics covered:

• The hilarious "bedside beer" Dean reaches for when he wakes from nightmares
• The excellent chemistry between Buffy alums Marsters and Carpenter
• Don's cheesy line: "You're the woman I want to never grow old with"
• Dean's constant teasing of Sam for trying to stay healthy
• The Romanian coin connection between the murders
• The return of Jenny Klein in a future "Clip Show" episode
• Next episode preview: Season 5's "I Believe the Children Are Our Future"
