BWW Recap: A 'Paper Moon' Rises on SUPERNATURAL

After I endure a stressful event in my life, like becoming a demon that likes to murder a ton, I usually kick back, drink some margaritas, and watch CLUELESS on repeat. It's annoying when people try to push me to do stressful activities like hunt monsters or solve the supernatural crises of the world because, and I quote, "As if."

But this week's SUPERNATURAL episode, entitled "Paper Moon," returned to what the Winchesters know best: hunting. Although Dean had literally just been freed of his demonhood and was trying desperately to take some "we" time with Sammy, the two couldn't sit back as several werewolf murders had just transpired around the corner. Forget the beer, lake, and cheap sunglasses; it was time get back to their true profession.

The murder of the SONS OF ANARCHY cast led them straight to werewolf Kate from Season Eight. Yes, the girl that left the home movies of her, her (dead) boyfriend, and (dead) friend, and whom Sam and Dean had let walk free was back. She quickly confessed to the town's murders, admitting that things changed. But something was fishy. Unfortunately, Kate was able to escape before any real answers were procured.

The brother's tracked Kate back to a motel and followed the blonde into the woods, only to find it wasn't Kate, but her younger sister Tasha. Kate, tired of the lies, disclosed that she had tried to stay away from her family, but after learning of her sister's almost fatal car crash, decided to turn the girl to save her life. Regrettably, Kate's vegetarian lifestyle was not the diet of choice for Tasha and it was she who had been murdering the townsfolk.

Dean knew immediately they had to dispose of Tasha, but it wasn't so simple. Although Tasha was a monster, Dean had been one himself only days earlier. Killing Tasha would be the ultimate hypocrisy and Sam acknowledged this. The brothers constantly fought for each other and it was only fair they let Kate fight for her sister.

Kate led the Winchesters to her family's cabin where Tasha had been trying to recruit herself a pack, or as Dean put it, "a regular psycho Brady Bunch." Kate pleaded with her sister to see the error of her ways and to let her help with the cravings, but Tasha was too far-gone. She enjoyed killing and the animalistic urges of being a werewolf. Kate embraced her sister only to pull out a silver dagger, ending her little sisters life, and taking off before facing Sam and Dean.

Back on the road, Sam questioned whether it had been too soon to begin hunting again; maybe more "we" time was in order. But Dean insisted they were doing the right thing, that he was doing the right thing because he had spent too much time doing the wrong thing.

Things we need to discuss:

- Dean's deception when he promised Kate a cure. Although his lie was quickly refuted, it makes me wonder why there isn't a cure for werewolves? There's a cure for demons and vampires; I can't imagine there isn't one for werewolves and other forms of monsters.

- It's good to know that if I ever become a werewolf I just need to join a yoga studio.

- People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Dean's monster hypocrisy has been a blatant issue since Season One. Now that he's been a demon and caused destruction I figured his judgmental side would soften a bit. He was way too quick to jump on killing Tasha. P.S. Remember Benny?

What do you like to do to relax, besides hunt demons and monsters? Are you happy to see Dean and Sam back on the road? Did you miss Castiel and his trench coat? Comment below or tweet me @enr702 or find me live-tweeting @erinrlivetweets
