Tall Tales
What do a vengeful spirit, an alien abduction, an alligator in the sewer, and a chainsaw madman have in common? They can all be seen on last week’s episode of Supernatural.
Sam and Dean investigate a college campus where strange incidents have been happening. It first starts with the death of a professor, whom the brothers find out had a quick fling on the night he died with a girl who supposedly died in the same building years earlier. Shortly after, they hear of another incident involving a college student who claims to have been abducted by aliens while walking across campus one night. Then comes the final straw — a research scientist who conducts animal tests is killed by something in the sewer. Sam realizes it was an alligator attack. All three victims had one thing in common: they weren’t angels, so to speak, and they seemed to get what was coming to them.
Baffled by three different incidents at the same campus, Sam and Dean turn to their hunting buddy, Bobby, for help. He quickly comes up with a theory that they aren’t dealing with three different creatures here, but only one: The Trickster. He looks human but he loves to put people into deadly spots. Their goal is now simple — find the trickster, dispatch him, and the college will be safe again.
But, of course, nothing is ever simple when it comes to the Supernatural. They locate and corner the trickster and after a grueling fight, which involves a couple of sexy demons in undergarments and a chainsaw madman, Dean drives a stake through the trickster and ends his reign. But as our heroes drive away, we are left to wonder: Did they really kill the trickster or was it another trick?
