There is no better board game out there than Clue. In fact, I spent most of my childhood pestering people to play it with me. Whether it was Mrs. Peacock, in the study, with the rope, or Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the candlestick, the game never got old. This week, it was Dean Winchester, in the kitchen, with the revolver. You heard me; this week's SUPERNATURAL, entitled "Ask Jeeves," traveled to the world of the WASP's to solve an old-fashion, monstrous murder-mystery.

After receiving a call from one of Bobby's old phones, Dean and Sam traveled to investigate just who would name Bobby in their will. It turned out a very wealthy woman, Bunny, had left Bobby something very precious to her. Unfortunately, it wasn't only Bunny who had died. One of the maids had also taken a fall off the balcony in a strange turn of events.

Dean and Sam only stuck around long enough the meet the rest of Bunny's gold digging, Winchester admiring family and collect Bobby's part of the will. The two were turned right back around, though, as it turned out the necklace Bunny had left was nothing but a mysterious key laden with fake jewels and diamonds.

The brothers returned just in time for the murder of Bunny's brother. His cheating "child bride" swore she witnessed the ghost of Bunny's long dead ex-husband murder her own husband. Paired with this and the claim that the ghost of Bunny had murdered the pearl-stealing maid (aka Clown College Colette), the duo knew they had a case on their hands.

After finding the still living maid, Olivia, locked in the attic with Clown College Colette's dead body, Dean questioned the butler while Sam investigated the rest of the house. Events turned when at the same time Dean was chatting with the butler, Sam was finding his dead body in another part of the house. Was there a mansion full of vengeful spirits now trying to have a murder-mystery party?

It didn't take long for the hunters to lay eyes upon the real monster hunting the inhabitants of the mansion as they came across the discarded skin of the butler; a shapeshifter was on the loose. The case only got weirder after a. the women were more interested in getting in on some Winchester action (do you blame them?) and b. everyone in the house had touched a silver knife without any consequences. Unable to pinpoint the culprit the brothers kept digging. The family, though, was convinced the Winchesters were the murderers. Two brothers snooping around in flannel? A sure sign of homicidal maniacs.

While Sam and Dean were locked upstairs, the family retreated to confer. Except, maid Olivia was just around the corner ready to take out the rest of the ungrateful family. She wasn't the maid, she was Bunny's bastard daughter, and a shapeshifter who had been locked in the attic her entire life. Not until Bunny's death was she granted release. Bunny had gifted Bobby with the key since he had once promised the millionaire he would care for her daughter if she passed.

Dean and Sam escaped their lock up and hunted for Olivia. As Sam threw her off, Dean snuck up behind her, shooting her with a silver bullet. But one wasn't enough for the trigger-happy Winchester.

Back in the car, Sam shared his apprehension over Dean's shot-happy moment at the mansion, but Dean was defensive. He had been out of practice a while and was just getting the hang of things again.

Things we need to discuss:

- Bobby loving Tori Spelling and Dean's curious knowledge of the Tori/Dean relationship.

- A nice change of pace for the series to explore one of the original forms of monster. Adding a mix of newer, wackier SPN with the older, darker tone made for a fun episode.

- Will you please play Clue with me?
