Welcome back from the Hellatus, SPNFamily. It is always hard living without the Winchesters, and this was my first Hellatus in real time, so, phew! Glad that’s over. Thank goodness the CW President and SPN fanboy, Mark Pedowitz, said in a recent interview that Supernatural will stay on the air at CW on as long as J2M are interested in acting in it.

I wish this were true, but network execs have told me privately that they don't see the show running past season 40. http://t.co/f31EoxdmhE — Misha Collins (@mishacollins) January 16, 2014

Pedowitz, who gave the go ahead for a back door pilot set to premiere as S09E19, let audiences know that the boys won’t be regulars on the forthcoming spin-off, but hinted J2 might make an appearance as soon as the show gets off the ground.

But let’s get down to the family business, shall we?

Sam, Dean and Cas came back with a vengeance this week in S09E10 “Road Trip” and it was nice to see Dean finally being honest with the boys. Unfortunately, Winchester angst (and the lies!) continue to tear Team Free Will apart, but there are always monsters to fight, so I hope they get back together soon. Speaking of fights! Pretty sure Dean and Sam are gonna get into a good one. With fists. And each other. Even if I’m bummed about the tift, audiences can look forward to Sam/Cas buddy time in the bunker; hunting leads, saving books, the nerdy business. Cas will be performing a serious procedure on Sam to try and heal him fully from the trials. It’s about time the writers take a cue from fanfic and make Moose and the angel besties.

The next episode set to air, S09E11, “First Born”, written by Robbie Thompson, brings with it the “Father of Murder”–Cain, played by Timothy Omundson. This is the demon who trained Abbadon and the other Knights of Hell. Dean and Crowley are working together (big surprise) to find “the first blade”, which can apparently kill Abaddon. Of course, Cain has it. Brotherly angst, Batman! This is going to be a rough Spring if the biblical references are any indication.

Lastly, DJ Qualls is back as our favorite dentist-turned-hunter, Garth, in S09E12 “Sharp Teeth”, written by Adam Glass, but why is dear Garth in the hospital?? Rumor has it, the hunter has been avoiding the Winchesters, but I hate to think of these guys on opposing teams. When Garth checks out of the hospital and ditches the Winchesters, Sam and Dean hunt (together!) for the truth. I hope Garth spills the details on where he’s been and why he wasn’t around back on the houseboat on Season 8. I also hope he gives Sam and Dean a speech about what it means to be brothers and they get back together.

Oh Garth, don’t ever change.

Well, in my head canon, Moose is mine.
