Blade Runners (9x16)

The First Blade, Men of Letters & the Real Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Crowley is in a hotel room in silk pajamas, surrounded by drained bodies, eating pizza, and crying at sad movies. He is not okay. Nobody call hell right now. This week Sam and Dean track down a very compromised King of Hell, stage an intervention, drag him back to the bunker, and somehow end up in a magical invisible mansion run by the expelled Men of Letters master of spells who has a collection problem and thinks Dean would make a lovely addition to it. Also: Snooki shows up as a crossroads demon, the antiques curator at the National Institute of Antiquities is deeply unbothered by federal investigators (but hot-and-bothered by Dean Winchester), and the First Blade finally makes contact with the Mark of Cain. It does not go great. Berly also makes a case for the Sam and Crowley storyline that never happened, and she is right to mourn it. The lore this week covers the real Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Victorian occult secret society whose actual magical symbol ended up on the Men of Letters crest. It turns out the bunker's glorified book club has real world bones, and they are extremely dramatic.
