Dean next smashes some glass to yank a fire axe from its nook in the wall, and he's about to split Darling Sammy's skull in two with the blade when... Bobby shows up out of nowhere to save the day? Okay, we'll go with that. But only because Bobby is so awesome. Yep, Bobby appears from nowhere to yank the axe from Dean's hands while at the same time jamming a bronze dagger into Dean's shoulder. "No!" Sam shouts from the floor, still creepily and eternally devoted to The Siren, but Bobby has no time for that sort of crap, and flings the dagger end over end into The Siren's back. The Siren falls against a cigarette machine mirror, staring at his own hideous reflection one last time as his own poison works its way through his body, before dropping the rest of the way to the tacky, threadbare carpeting, dead. The effects of The Siren's venom slowly drain away, and Our Intrepid Heroes are left gaping at each other in shock as the METAL TEETH CHOMP! arrives to drag everyone away into the final commercial break.
The next day, having presumably disposed of The Siren's corpse, the boys plus Bobby gather beneath the opulently scenic Skybridge that spans the mighty east fork of the One Hundred And Two River there in downtown Bedford to process through recent events over a couple of bottles of soda because -- as Bobby reminds us -- they're all driving somewhere when this is done. Sam thanks Bobby for saving their tantalizing asses again, some more, and Bobby kindly reminds them they've done the same for him in the past on more than one occasion before chiding them for neglecting to check Agent Nick's credentials. "Only took one call to figure out [he] wasn't real," Bobby notes, and that seems a little unfair, given the elaborate phone-answering system he's got set up for credentials challenges way up there in the lush coastal rainforests of central South Dakota, but whatever. There are ninety seconds to go in this episode, and my raging head cold wants them done with. "Oh, you poor dear!" shrieks Raoul. "I'll start fixing your hot toddy right now!" Bless you, friend of friends. So, in any event, Bobby next asks if the boys are going to be okay, and they noncommittally shrug their shoulders around, so he takes that as a yes and hops into his Chevelle to head back to his Emporium, leaving Our Intrepid Heroes alone for the awkward denouement that follows.
