Last week was a low point for Supernatural. While the episode was basically sound, Charlie’s death was a waste. Nevertheless, this week brings another episode and Dean’s going off the deep end thanks to previous events. Can’t blame him, really. Charlie didn’t need to die, but at least someone’s as angry about it as the audience.

This week sees Jane’s life get even more complicated, an impressive feat considering she was accidentally artificially inseminated with her boss’ sperm only a few episodes ago. Now she’s having sexual fantasies about said boss, Rafael, and comes clean about them to her fiancé in front of her priest during marriage counselling in order to prepare for their upcoming marriage. It shouldn’t work, but it does.

Looks like the cat’s finally out of the bag (or, is that brains out of the bag?). Either way, Liv’s finally discovered what Blaine’s up to. As our hero, she was always going to step in and do something about it, and after Blaine’s actions in this episode, that’s a call to action if ever there was one.

This week Michael insists Jane quit her job because he’s not comfortable with Jane working is such close proximity with Rafael, seeing as she kissed him five years ago. Admittedly, Rafael’s also the father of her baby, but it’s the kiss that really seems to have pushed him to the edge.

The fate of minor characters has long been a question for Supernatural fans. Of all the characters we have encountered though, it is perhaps the fates of Adam Milligan and the Novak family that has most intrigued the fandom. Adam, the Winchesters’ half-brother, was left to rot in hell several seasons ago, with no apparent plans to rescue him. Likewise, Jimmy Novak was confirmed to have ended up in heaven after his body was blown to pieces during one of Castiel’s many deaths. However, it wasn’t until this season that we learnt what had become of his daughter, Claire, and the disappearance of his wife, Amelia.

Who knew zombie dating could be so hard, huh? One minute you’re attracted to a girl named Liv, the next minute you’ve chomped down the brains of a recently deceased gay man and are no longer feeling it. While it put a pin in Liv and Lowell’s potential romance, it certainly allowed them a chance to develop a friendship and party on down together. (Does anyone say ‘party on down, anymore? They should.)

Based on the Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, it’s fair to be sceptical of how successful Jane the Virgin could be. The word ‘telenovela’ inevitably carries baggage with it and the premise itself takes a bit of believing: Jane, a devout, strictly virginal young woman, is accidentally artificially inseminated with her boss’ sperm.

Well, The Werther Project was certainly . . . delicious, to quote Rowena, and a hell of a lot more enjoyable than The Sorrows of Young Werther (which, frankly, is a book that should be burnt). Not only was this episode a shining example of what Supernatural can do when it really puts its mind to it, but it also continued to push all the pieces on the chessboard into position in preparation for this season’s grand finale. Whatever happens, it’s sure to be dark. |
