CHARLIE RETURNS FROM OZ — Sam (Jared Padalecki) is scanning the internet for suspicious paranormal activity and comes across a video of Charlie (guest star Felicia Day) beating up a district attorney. Dean (Jensen Ackles) suspects she’s back from Oz and hunting on her own, assuming the district attorney must have been a demon. When they do find Charlie, they are shocked when she tells them why she really came back from Oz. Phil Sgriccia directed this episode written by Robbie Thompson.
Ep 11 recap:
A house. Screaming. A man runs from someone throwing things at him. His wrists are bound. He gets outside, nose bleeding. Stands. Begs...says he doesn't know anything else. But Charlie's going to torture him anyway.
Sam on the phone with Cas. Dean made egg white omelets and slept past 7. 8 hours of sleep, no drinking in a week, and healthy food. More research time. Dean hates the taste of all the health food. Sam finds video of Charlie attacking the guy. Dean tries calling her. The victim is a District Attorney in Topeka. And a court stenographer was assaulted the day before. Dean says let's go out there and see what's going on. She could be hunting.
He gets the shakes when he grabs his knife.
Sam and Dean interview the DA. He says she asked about a case. The Middletons. The case never went to trial. Files were sealed. There's no record of the case anywhere. Anything you can remember about the case? No. Too long ago, sorry. Sam says the attacker didn't let the stenographer go until she gave up a name. Your name. Dean grabs him and yells at him to talk. Sam is disturbed. DA says he got paid to leave the case alone. Councilwoman Barbara Cordry.
Sam reading Charlie's social worker file. We need to find her before she does something she can't walk away from. Sam and Dean get to Barbara. She says she has no idea what they're talking about. Make an appointment with my assistant.
Dean eating in the car. What the hell is kale? LOL. Sam reading the file. Charlie's report isn't sunshine and roses. They hear a scream from Barbara's house. Break in and look around. Find Charlie holding her at knife point. What the hell happened to you in Oz? Charlie insults them. Dean says this isn't you. She runs. He chases her. She wraps him up and punches him, then kicks him. Runs out.
Sam talks to Barbara. Charlie wanted the bank statements.
Dean goes outside. Charlie drives off. The tire on the Impala is flat. Charlie with curled hair drives up in a yellow car. Two Charlies!!!
Sam and Dean and Charlie in a bar. Charlie says she made a deal with the Wizard. To win the war she had to unleash her true darkness. They're connected physically. Hurt her, hurt Charlie. And being good is really annoying. Dark Charlie is trying to win Charlie back. She won the war, but Charlie doesn't want her near her again. Dean says it's not you, it's a twisted version of-- Me. Charlie wants to lock her up. Sam says that's not the answer and Dean agrees. Charlie says Dark Charlie broke the key. No way to get back to Oz. Okay, so we need to trace the payments. Charlie says she can't hack the accounts. Dean gets refills.
Dean stares at his reflection. Has the shakes.
Charlie guided Sam in the hack. Leads back to Russell Wellington. Dean wants to talk aside. Charlie says secrets are bad. So they tell her she shouldn't go near this guy, and Charlie is part of you. Okay, lets go to the bunker and research the key. Dean says do that and he'll watch Russell. Protect them both. Got it.
Charlie asks Sam if Dean is okay. I'll tell you on the way.
Dean tries listening to meditation tapes. Sees Russell arrive at work. Dean goes in and signs in. Sits in the waiting area.
Sam finds the file on the MoL that found the key. Clive. Where did he end up? Let's find out.
Dean signed as Mr. Presley. LOL. He's the last one waiting. So he meets with Russell. Russell's going to the lake house after work. They chat.
Charlie thinks Clive might still be alive. So let's go.
Dean describes his dream house. Russell says I'm a busy man and you're wasting my time. Dean says show me what you got. I can show you the door. Dean says I'm the guy that's going to save your life. Starts talking about Charlie's case. Lights go out. Dean tells him to stay there. Phone is out, too.
Dark Charlie with a knife. Dean asks to talk. She's not into it. He says you don't want to do this. She says she just wants to talk. Like the others? You're right. I got out of hand. But this was never about revenge. I want him to see my face, what he did to me, to us. That's all. Please Dean. I deserve that. And then we hand him over to the cops. He takes her knife. Okay.
Russell calls her Celeste. Says I'm so sorry. What I did, I was young, stupid. What I took I can never give back to you. And after the accident never should've happened. it was selfish and wrong and I should pay for it. She says you took everything from me. He says he's so sorry. She says she forgives him. Then shuts and locks the door. She has a second knife and stabs Russell. Then she's out the window. Russell is dead.
Dean calls Sam. Sam puts it on speaker. He says it's over. She killed Russell. I'm so sorry, Charlie. She says it's my fault. He says no, it's not. Did you find a way to Oz? Maybe. Sam texts him the address. Dean's on the way.
Dean in the bar. Dark Charlie sits next to him. He says you lied to me. You lied to yourself. But something's off with you. I'm not the monster here, Dean. He was. Being dark sets you free. Part of you knows that's right, too.
Sam and Charlie reach Clive. The man says he's not Clive Dylan. Charlie shows him the key.
Dark Charlie wants the bartender. She tells Dean there's no right or wrong. Dean says they're going to fix this. You won't be you much longer. She says we'll see. And wants to ask the bartender to dance. Dean, she left out the back, you dumbass. And took the Impala! He runs out and calls Sam. But he told Dark Charlie the wrong town.
Clive says the keys can only be repaired in Oz. Sam asks who kidnapped you. Bad people. Charlie says you're lying. Clive says what happened to you happened to me. My Id was awful. He became the Wizard of Oz. Charlie says Dorothy is in trouble, then. Clive says there's a way to summon him here. He gets his pistol. If I'm mortally wounded, he'll have to come here to save us both.
Dean arrives in a minivan. Hears a shot. Then Dark Charlie pulls up. She followed him. He says take one more step and I'll put you down.
The house shakes. Wizard comes through a mirror. "What have you done, you fool?" The Wizard is a young version, but they both have the same facial scar.
Sam pulls his gun on the Wizard the the Wizard ties him up.
Dean and Dark Charlie fight.
Sam pleads with The Wizard. Wizard starts killing Sam.
Dean breaks Charlie's arm.
Good Charlie picks up the pistol and shoots Clive. Wizard dies.
Dean beats on Dark Charlie. Sam yells at him to stop, carrying Good Charlie. Sam lays her next to herself. Dark Charlie says you killed the Wizard. The magic was in you all the time, Celeste. Sam gives Charlie a key and Dark Charlie goes back into Charlie. Sam pulls her into his arms. She cries. Dean looks at his knuckles.
MoL. Sam on the phone. With Cas. We gotta find Cain, or something. Charlie's patched up. Sam tells her she should be resting. She says 2 days of sleep is long enough. Anything about the Mark? Maybe. Book of the Damned in Tuscany. She'll check it out. What about Dark Charlie? She's, uh, quiet. Just gotta keep moving forward. We all do. She goes to Dean. We are going to fix this. I'm not letting what happened to me happen to you. He says it already did. She says you have something Cain didn't. You're a Winchester. I forgive you, Dean. He says yeah, well, I don't. She knows. How's that working out for you, huh? He hugs her. I'm so sorry, kiddo. She says then prove it. A hug from Sam and she leaves. Sam tells her to be careful. She says she'll call if she finds something. Arrivaderci, bitches. LOL.
Sam tells Dean that he can do this. We can do this. Dean says let's get to work. Dean looks at his hand again.
Next week - teen Dean? LOL.
