"Just My Imagination"
Menomonie, Wisconsin. Tea party. Little girl playing. Her mother says we're ready to go to dinner now. When you're ready. Father says we have reservations. She says the therapist says to be patient. The little girl gives a cup to the unicorn man. He tells her to go with her parents. He'll clean up. She leaves the room. He cleans up. Sits and reads. Someone enters And it's not Maddie. He dies! She comes back to Sparkle and screams.
"Just My Imagination"
Sam's alarm. He gets up. There's someone in the shadows! Sam in the hall. He's being followed. He turns on the light in the kitchen. Fills the coffee pot. And finally notices the table of candy. Surprise! It's me, Sam, Sully! We were best friends, remember? Sam says you're not real. Dean wanders in and sees Sam talking to nothing. Are you having a stroke? Sully says he can't see me if I don't want him to. He appears. Sam asks can you see him? Uh huh. Sam says this is my friend from when I was a kid. Your dumbass imaginary friend? I'm gonna get my gun. LOLOLOLOL Sully says someone killed my friend. We're Zana. We're the good guys. Sam, tell him. Sam is still trying to wrap his head around this. Sully says that's okay. But I need your help. You're hunters. You help people. Dean says you're not that! You, me, library now!
Dean says you're not buying this crap, are you? Sam says when I was nine, I wanted marshmallow nachos and I only told Sully. Dean says maybe you're having a vision. Sam gets a book and reads about the Zana. They guide children. Dean says okay, but how is this our problem? Sam says someone is dead. Sully helped me.
They drive to the house. Sully says it's a horror show in there. I'm management now. I came to see Sparkle. I show up and it's bananas. Sparkle......it was horrible. Dean says the kid is the only witness, right? Sully says yeah, the poor thing. I'll meet you inside.
Dean and Sam in cardigans. LOL. Sam says you didn't have to come. I didn't think he was real. I grew up. Dean asks why did you need Drop Dead Fred in the first place? Sam says I was a lonely kid.
Phone ringing. Sam answers the phone. Dean says it's not gonna happen. Dad said no. Sam wants to go hunting. Dean says I never had an imaginary friend. Maybe next time. John honks the horn. Dean hangs up. Sam will just be here. Alone with Sully.
Sam and Dean meet Mrs. Berman. We're trauma counselors. She lets them in. My daughter Maddie called the police. She made up this unicorn man, Sparkle. She thinks he's dead in her room. Dean calls it a manicorn. LOL. Sam asks to talk to Maddie. Asks her about Sparkle. You don't want to go in your room? How come? She says all the blood.
Mother takes them to the room. Sam asks to look around. Sully appears. They can't see Sparkle. Sully says you can't tell a soul. Dean says fine. Sully shows them what they can see. Sparkle dead and bloody. Glittery. Who would do this? Dean says it was a blade. Sam asks if a Zana did it. Sully says no, never. Mom comes back. She's walking through it all. Ewww. Wipes blood on her face. Sully is freaking out. She asks them how we get our girl back. Sam asks about a spare bedroom. Maybe Maddie can stay there. And a hot shower. And scrub. Purifying. Sam says you can contact the office for more guidance if you like.
A girl in a pool. With her mermaid. Girl leaves for gymnastics. Mermaid relaxes in the pool. Somethings watching her from behind. Stabs her repeatedly.
They get to the new crime scene. Sully says Zana have a telepathic link. They find the mermaid. More stabbing. Dean asks if anyone would want to hurt Nikki? Sully says her boyfriend is kinda clingy, but..... Dean says let's talk to the boyfriend. Sully says we can't leave her here. Dean is insensitive. Sully saw some shovels. Dean says he really cares for you, huh?
Sam memory. Ever think you can fly? Sometimes. Sam says I used to, but I broke my arm. Sully asks ever think you can eat 10 waffles in one sitting? Sam hopes so when he's big. Sully tried once and threw up. Sam asks about running away. From here. All this. The hunting life. Sully asks do you? Sam nods. Sully asks ever think you want to go to school and make some friends? Sam says I have you. Sully says you do, but one day you won't You can be whatever you want to do. You're Sam and Sam is so awesome. Sam says my dad would kill me if I ran away. Sully says it's your choice. It's your life. It's up to you. Sam says okay. Let's go.
They bury Nikki. Dean tells Sam to chip in. Sam asks Sully how he is. Sully says I'm fine. How are you? Sam says aces.
Weems with his boy. He peed at night. Weem will take care of the sheets. Mommy will never know. Boy goes back to bed. Weems hears a noise. The killer is here. Weems is stabbed. Falls. Woman killer runs away and drives away. Weems calls for Sully. He's only stabbed once, so he has a chance.
They get to Weems backyard. See blood. Into a garage. Weems crawled in there. Sully goes to him. Weems says my fat saved me! Dean says the mermaid wasn't so lucky. When was the last time you saw Nikki the mermaid. She was murdered. Weems weeps. Sully says Sparkle, too. Dean asks who would have beef with you. Weems tells them about the chick and the VW bug. Dean says I'm home. Sam tells him to go. Dean asks Weems what's so special about you? Kids. Weems says I play air guitar. Dean isn't impressed. Weems gets to his knees. Makes music while he plays air guitar. Now Dean is impressed. Sam, too. Dean says he's no Clapton. Sully will go for bandages. I'll be right back, Sam. Weems says you're Sully's Sam? Guess so. You and Sully are back together? How old are you? Sam says no, he came to me for help. Weems says wow.....Sully, you broke his heart, man.
Flashback. Sam on the phone. Dad changed his mind. He wants me to go. I'm ready. i have to catch the next bus to Milwaukee. I'm a Winchester. Why can't you be happy for me? Sully is worried. This whole hunting thing isn't the only way. You can find them. Sam doesn't want another way. Sully says i"m your friend. Sam says youre not real. I don't need you anymore. I wish I could unmake you up. Sully says if that's what you want. Sam says it is. Just go. Sully wishes him a good, long life, and disappears. Sam is packed and leaving. He looks back, then closes the door.
Sully bandages Weems. Weems will check on Fletcher. Kid has a bladder like a sieve. Sam says it's pretty awesome how you help everyone around you. Sully says I try. Sam says I feel awful. I was a kid. A jerk kid, You were trying to help. Sully says it's on me. Goodbyes are part of the job. When you went off to hunt, I considered that a failure. You wanted something else, but I was wrong. It all worked out. Sam doesn't know about that. Sully says you're a hero. You saved the world. you did really good, Sam. Sam says some bad, and some really bad. I screwed up. I let something out into the world.... The Darkness? I've heard rumors. Sam says I'm gonna fix it. We'll fix it. I think God wants to help us fix it. But I don't think I can do what He's asking. Sully asks how bad is it? Sam tells him about the cage in Hell with Lucifer. I've been in it and I think God wants me to go back. Sully says ever think about running away anymore? Sam says I did. I have. But not in a while. Not anymore. Sully nods. Sam's phone buzzes. Dean found her. Sam asks about hotwiring a minivan. in my dreams. Let's do it.
Dean wakes up tied up. She says your brother is on the way. Uh oh.
Dean remembers getting there. Finding the car. Looking inside, and getting attacked. Knocked out. Who the hell are you? She says we have a mutual imaginary friend. Sully.
Sam and Sully get there. Sully recognizes her. She wants a hostage exchange. She says Sully killed my sister. He says it was an accident! My first kids after you. I bungled it. I shouldn't have let her chase me. I don't know why I didn't see the car coming. I never went back into the field after that. Too afraid I'd hurt another kid. She says I always wondered if Sully was real. I studied in Romania. A witch sold me a spell to see them. She gave me this, too. Finally, I can save other kids from these monsters. Sully says I would've come if you called. She likes watching him suffer. After Audrey died, I never needed you more! He says I panicked. I left you to deal with the pain because I couldn't deal with being the one to cause it. Will killing me make you feel better? If this is what you need, I'm okay with it. She's crying. I'm still mad. I can't stop it! So mad! Dean's trying to get free. He stands. Trust me - revenge won't make you feel better. I've seen monsters. Real monsters. These are Sesame Street Mother Theresas. Sully was there for my brother when I wasn't. You know Sully isn't a monster. Sully is so, so sorry. She lets go of the knife. Hugs him. Sully says I'm so sorry.
She leaves. Sully waves. Expects Sam doesn't want to see him again. Sam says you're a hero to me. Heroes aren't perfect. Sully says sometimes they're scared, but that means the thing they're facing is important. No one else will do it because no one has the balls. It's that time. Sully thanks Dean for looking out for Sam. You're not a germ at all. Dean says you're a good weird. Sully tells Sam good luck and disappears.
Sam in the car. We need to discuss the cage. Dean says not happening. Good talk. Even if these visions are real....Sam says I know. But there's not an excuse, not anymore. Dean says we'll find another way. Always. Sam says what is the other way? Dean doesn't say anything.
Next ep - midseason finale. Sam talks to Lucifer.
