Jenny Djinn starts to do some healthy feeding on Charlie and she passes out. The latter questions the daring red head and mentions both her and Dean’s fear when they visited earlier. While the boys are doing their detective work, Charlie’s tied to a chair and at Jennifer Djinn’s mercy. After getting the story on Gertrude, Dean puts the pieces together and surmises she’s Charlie’s mom. Dean leaves Sam on Djinn searching duty and he follows the lead. They know she’s been hiding something and go with the one lead they have she’s been anonymously donating cash to a patient at the hospital-Gertrude Milton. In fact, Dean had already turned on the GPS on her phone and the two brothers track her down at an apartment but come across the ransacked remains of the struggle when Charlie was accosted by the good doc…err, coroner. After hearing the news, Charlie dips out and her quirkier than usual behavior isn’t lost on the boys. Still, the blue hand print is enough to point them to a secondary Djinn species whose calling card entails liquefied entrails and a very blue hand print. They return to the coroner’s to gain confirmation on the other bodies but find out they were both burned, the records indicating the CDC signed off on it. Sam takes it upon himself to show up first and as he and Dean argue about Sam’s presence on the case, Charlie gets some good intel from the teens that found the body a blue hand print on one of the arms before the corpse’s tummy went Alien. It’s not long after Charlie and Dean’s rejection that another body turns up. The new partners run into a brick wall though in the presence of Jennifer O’Brien, the head coroner.ĭean goes undercover with the lovable noob Dean relegates Sam to the bench and, after a bit of a trippy dress montage, takes the neophyte hunter to the hospital to examine the body. They soon find out that she’s doing some serious hunting, even using Carver Edlund’s books on the Winchesters lives as source material. One Tom Blake went missing and, when found, his insides were liquefied. They take her to the lair and she drops the dime on the latest case. Before Dean can go, they get an email from Charlie, our favorite lesbian hacking geek redhead this side of Willow Rosenberg. They need to find Kevin but Dean’s not about to let his little brother out in the latter’s current condition. Hanging back at their new lair, Sam’s still all kinds of out of sorts from the second trial. He checks out a paper to find he’s surfing around in 1951 when the shadows of the monsters responsible for the carnage target him for next on their list.Ĭharlie’s back…back again! Charlie’s back, watch for Djinn He opens the barricaded door to his office and comes across a stream of dead bodies in the corridor. Using the effective and welcome (in my opinion) ‘flash-forward’, Dean wakes up, decked out in military garb with some 1940’s music playing. Of course, any episode highlighting Felicia Day as a may cog is a welcome distraction no matter when it airs.

One would think then this week’s helping would further the story arch and, while it does in a sense, “Pac-Man Fever” is, for all intents and purposes, a filler episode. We’re coming down the homestretch of Supernatural’s eight season and there’s still quite a few things to be touched upon before we get to what will no doubt be another amazing finale.
