Back from the break, someone backs up Secretly Evil Adam's truck, and Dean approaches the open manhole with sawed-off shotgun at the ready, but it turns out the weapon's entirely unnecessary, for the beastie beneath the truck is long gone. Dean hunches over to shove his bare fingers into the goo the beastie left behind, quickly determines he "winged it" -- ya think? -- and joins his younger secretly evil brothers over at the Impala to process through recent events and strategize. Interestingly enough -- and I totally missed this when this episode first aired -- during the conversation that follows, Our Intrepid Heroes fade into visually fuzzy incoherence in the background of the shot while the camera remains focused on Adam's strangely stoic face, and that should have been my first indication that Something's Not Quite Right With Adam, but I guess I wasn't paying attention, because the twist, when it was finally revealed, took me completely by surprise. Silly me. "Oh, don't be so hard on yourself!" Raoul shrieks. "Have a flagon! They're awfully forgiving, I must say!" Thanks for the offer, friend of friends, but I've got another eighteen minutes of show time to cover, and this recap's not getting any shorter. "Your loss!" Yes, I'm aware of that fact. Shall I continue? "By all means!" Good.
