Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen Becky knocks at the door, she says "You're Sam Winchester..." but it was revealed in 4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book that Chuck never wrote the brother's last name in his books. However, we know that Chuck and Becky's video chat continued past the extent of the scene. Since we don't know the full extent of the conversation it can easily be assumed that Chuck revealed the brothers' last name to her - possibly as a means of giving her a way to authenticate herself to the guys.
- Quotes
Zachariah: What, you thought you could actually kill Lucifer? You simpering wad of insecurity and self-loathing? No. You're just a human, Dean. And not much one of them.
Dean Winchester: What do you mean, I'm the sword?
Zachariah: Michael's weapon. Or, rather, his... receptacle.
Dean Winchester: I'm a vessel?
Zachariah: You're "the" vessel. Michael's vessel.
Dean Winchester: How? Why? Why me?
Zachariah: Because you're chosen! It's a great honor, Dean.
Dean Winchester: Oh, yeah. Yeah, life as an Angel condom. That's real fun!

However,none of the 4 reviews before this one mentioned the always excellent Emily Perkins as Sam-crazed Becky. Come on, Supernatural fans, Emily Perkins is a hoot every time she shows up! She might not have had as much screen time as in the other two episodes she was in, but she made the most of her time.
The initial scene on computer screens with Chuck was cute, but the best was when she met Sam and kept touching his chest. (Sam: "Becky, could you please stop touching me?" Becky: "No." :-) ) Emily Perkins is in my opinion a much-underused actress. Ever since her days as teen hooker Sue on the best police drama ever, DaVinci's Inquest, she has been a great favourite of mine. And no, I don't know her nor am I related to her! LOL But seriously, she brings a lot to Becky and to every role she takes on. I hope we see more of her on Supernatural and elsewhere.
All in all, this was a very good ep. B+, at least.
