Episode 4.09: I Know What You Did Last Summer
Manage episode 335794310 series 2995511
aka that one where Chuck submitted fic to a bang because he wanted art for it
I joke, but... it’s kinda like he was trying to fill in those missing months while Dean was in Hell a little bit, and then Anna was forced to beta it, and illustrated a few scenes.
Yes, this is a two-parter that ends on a big cliffhanger, and it’s not even a midseason finale, let alone a season finale. We go right into the second half next week, and together these episodes give us yet another mirror to how the larger season arc functions. But only in hindsight. Season four, still with the shenanigans!
Sure we learn loads about how Ruby inserted herself into Sam’s life without learning The Biggest Issue (Sam and his demon blood...), and we learn that Dean knows this Big Bad Demon hassling them and trying to kill Anna, but not the nature of their interactions in Hell. What we do learn in this episode does go miles to give us a larger picture of what happened during those months, knowing what happens by the end of the season, having the full context of what we’re clearly still missing as the story unfolds, gives us an entirely different perspective on the underlying drama and the painful twist that still awaits us.

But especially these posts:
- one about the persistent yet entirely unfounded rumor that Cas somehow “stole” Anna’s role in the show
- rewatch notes from April 2017
- rewatch notes from June 2019
My tags for angel grace discussion: On the nature of angel grace, angels and souls, you learned it from the goats. There’s a bit of overlap between them, but there’s a lot there despite that.
