Episode 4.08 Wishful Thinking

I am so personally partial to episodes wherein Sam and Dean experience maximum wtf, which so often defines Edlund episodes. Especially as the series continues and they have leveled up so much since the early days of “this is so far out of our paygrade” for every little monster they run across. Sometimes knocking them completely off balance is the best way to shake loose important character development. As it is in this episode.

Directly to the point today, with the links relevant to this week’s episode:

But especially these posts (since a lot of my tag is funny gif sets and later seasons meta for this one):

(and a quick personal aside to scream internally about how they should’ve finally received the payoff they deserved at the end of the series, because GAAAHHHHH)
