Supernatural: Alex Annie Alexis Ann (9x19) | Recap & Lore

Supernatural Season 9, Episode 19, Alex Annie Alexis Ann recap 🧛 Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) is BACK, and she's protecting a troubled teen named Alex (Katie Sarife), who was raised by a nest of vampires and really, REALLY wants to go home, on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast. Mama bear Jody: activated. A deputy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, picks up a teen runaway, and things go very wrong at the station. Jody calls in the Winchesters, and they quickly figure out Alex is a human kidnap victim who's been living with vampires since she was a little girl... and they're coming to get her back. While Jody hides Alex at a remote cabin, Sam and Dean track down the nest in O'Neill, Nebraska, learn exactly how the vampires have been using her, and discover that the vampire mom at the center of it all has her own tragic reason for keeping Alex. Meanwhile, Sam starts to notice that Dean is enjoying his work a little too much. Episode Highlights: Jody Mills, wonderful to see her as always The boys learning Alex isn't the victim they expected Vampiric Stockholm syndrome, as Jody puts it Dean at the wood chipper: "Need a hand?" (There was literally a hand.) The vampires' very dark use for Alex (it gets worse) Alex's years-old bite marks that just... vanish (one episode after the show joked about continuity errors) Dean's dead man's blood trick, and some very cool decapitations Dean's "look at me, bitch" moment that made us go WHAT Jody finally facing her own grief (growth!) Sam's worry about how much Dean is enjoying the kill (the Mark of Cain is no joke) In the lore segment, we revisit the vampire cure from Live Free or Twihard and dig into the real-life case of a man in Turkey diagnosed with clinical vampirism, whose insatiable craving for blood earned him a write-up in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics in 2011 and, according to a 2013 Smithsonian report, was eventually cured after two years of treatment. It's some of the darkest lore we've done. Your turn, hunters: Should Jody take in Alex? And how worried are YOU about Dean right now?
