Ep 7.17 | Hey La, Hey La, Dean's Boyfriend's Back

Saving People, Queering Things

How we would handle a long-lost amnesiac lover's return? Less unhinged than Dean does in this episode.

The squad breathes a big ol' sigh of relief today, as Castiel himself has returned! Noah shares his shocked, ALL CAPS notes as we talk about Emmanuel!Cas and again reflect on how It All Comes Back to 1.12 Faith.

We also theorize about the true nature of Sam's psychosis (did Lucifer leave a piece of himself in his psyche?), express concern over Daphne's life choices, and lose our collective minds on Dean's attachment to that damn trenchcoat.

Other topics include: Sam's capacity for compassion, Taylor Swift mixtape suggestions, Cas' memory coming back in a big way, and our girl Meg's return.

A PSA from our American hosts - Listeners in the USA, get out and vote for our collective rights and protections!!!
