Supernatural – The One You’ve Been Waiting For

By: Stacy Miller

The teaser of the episode finds an elderly woman, Mrs. Lloyd (Colleen Winton), walking into an antique shop to purchase an antique watch made in 1931 from the proprietor Marvin (Charles Siegel). The greedy owner ups the agreed upon price calling it a negotiation. Mrs. Lloyd is angry, threatening to take her business elsewhere. Suddenly, Marvin bursts into flames. Mrs. Lloyd grabs the watch box (not cool, stealing from a dead man) and starts to leave, but she too catches fire and burns to death.

Dean (Jensen Ackles) is busy on the computer when Sam (Jared Padalecki) returns with everything on their shopping list. But Dean is not hungry, not even for the whole pie Sam offers. Sam is concerned when Dean doesn’t want to eat, as obviously there has to be something wrong. He brings up Mary, but Dean says “Mom needed her space and I told you I’m cool with it.” Dean prefers instead to show Sam information on a possible new case he found. “Two killed in mystery fire,” Sam reads. “Mystery fire? The kind that doesn’t burn anything but the bodies,” adds Dean. So, it’s off to Marv’s Collectibles Antiques and Lost Treasures in Columbus, Ohio to check it out. Sam and Dean immediately find the bodies of Mrs. Lloyd and owner Marvin Brickell. Sam urges Dean not to touch anything “until we figure out whether it wants to kill us or not.” He checks Marvin’s computer and finds emails regarding the selling an antique pocket watch. Dean finds a secret backroom full of Nazi items and calls Sam to take a look. Fire. Nazis. It sounds like The Thule. “Nazis, I hate these guys,” says Dean.

Meanwhile, a young woman named Ellie (Allison Paige) is kissing her date Nick. She’s nervous because she just got out of a relationship. Ellie goes into the bathroom and gives herself a pep talk. She hears Nick scream and peeking through the bathroom door sees two men with her date who catches fire. But they spot Ellie. She quickly locks the bathroom door, but cuts her leg while fleeing via the fire escape. The young man named Christophr (Keenan Tracy) tries to shoots Ellie as she runs off, but his father reminds that “he needs her alive.” He wipes Ellie’s blood on a handkerchief. “We have everything we need to track her,” the father tells his son.

Sam and Dean call Aaron Bass (Adam Rose) who is in Berlin, Germany wiping out some Thule in the Fatherland with the help of his golem. The Winchesters ask whether he’s heard of any Thule activity stateside. Sam and Dean will have to call Aaron back because they get a hit about another case of spontaneous combustion.

They learn about the fire victim and the girl who escaped being burned. Outside, Ellie is tossed into a police car and handcuffed. She screams for help. Luckily for her, Sam and Dean are leaving the building at the exact moment. “Follow that car. I always wanted to say that,” Dean says as he and Sam get in The Impala.

Ellie pleads with the young man driving the car to let her go. Christophr gets out of the police car and walks to a black SUV. He looks for the car keys then calls his father. “I have to call you back,” he says as Dean points his gun at him. “Family drama is a bitch.” You said it Dean!

Sam gives Ellie the supernatural hunting speech. Ellie can’t believe the whole Nazi zombie thing. Dean demands answers from Christophr, who refuses to give away trade secrets until Dean threatens to blow him away. So, Christophr talks and tells Sam and Dean about his father Commandant Nauhaus (Gil Darnell) a top aide of Hitler’s who stopped the Führer from shooting himself in the head in 1945 by offering him another way. Nauhaus trapped Hitler’s soul inside the pocket watch for safe keeping until he could bring him back. But the watch got lost all over the globe before it ended up in that antique shop. Christophr further explains that Hitler’s soul can only be resurrected into the body of a blood relative and his nearest one is Ellie. The Thule have been tracking Ellie all her life. They know she is adopted and studied to be a doctor, but couldn’t handle seeing her first corpse and how she skipped out on her wedding. An angry Ellie storms out of the room.

Sam goes to get her and finds Ellie sitting on the floor crying. She texted her mother to ask whether she was adopted and got a text back to call her mom. “Being a little flighty I can handle. But being related to the greatest genocidal maniac of all times I don’t think so,” Ellie says tearfully. Dean enters and tells Ellie they need her help bringing down the entire Thule Society, but that involves using her as bait. Nauhaus and his men arrive and soon Sam and Dean are fighting The Thule while Ellie hides. When the fight ends the Thule leave to go after Ellie, who has run off…again. Nauhaus grabs her on the street and pulls her into his car. The Thule Commandant is furious when he hears a voicemail message from Sam on Ellie’s phone. He can’t believe his own son talked to the enemy about Nazis and calls Christophr a disappointment. Nauhaus tells his agent Fritz that his son needs “some rest.” Fritz takes Christophr from the car and prepares to shoot him! Wow, Nazi necromancers take offspring disappointment deadly serious. And Sam thought John Winchester was a tough dad! Christophr manages to get the upper hand and shoots Fritz instead.

While Sam and Dean are at a diner wondering how they are going to track Ellie, Christophr appears. He tells them that he can take them to Ellie. Sam thinks it could be a trap, but Christophr insists it’s not. He just killed one of his father’s agents. He is tired of being a disappointment to his father.

Meanwhile, Ellie’s body is prepared to receive Hitler’s soul. But there is a change in plans. “Do you think I would resurrect the greatest mind that ever lived inside the body of a weak American female?” So, Nauhaus is getting a blood transfusion from Ellie so he can accept Hitler’s soul. “I never needed you, only your body,” Nauhaus tells Ellie. Hitler is reborn in Nauhaus’ body and happily greets all his comrades.

Sam and Dean sneak into the building, but are quickly captured by Hitler’s men. They learn that Nauhaus is now Hitler, who is excited about the new upgraded body and Nauhaus’ cell phone as he can build his ranks with the power of Twitter. He orders Sam and Dean to be taken away to introduce them to his dogs. Although weakend from the blood transfusion, Ellie manages to get hold of a gun and shoots a Thule. Sam grabs another gun and kills the next Thule and Dean finishes Hitler off with a head shot. “Dude, you killed Hitler,” Sam says. “Awesome” is Dean’s response. He thinks killing Hitler entitles him to free drinks for the rest of his life. They return to The Impala and release Christophr who they had handcuffed to the steering wheel. As he will now be viewed as a traitor to the remaining Thule, Sam advises Christophr to run. Dean suggested going back to Buffalo where Christophr was born.

After Sam takes Ellie home, Dean wants to go to a bakery to get some pie. “I killed Hitler, I think I deserve pie.” “I’m never going to hear the end of this am I?” Sam asks. “Probably not,” Dean says then drives off.
