Supernatural - Metamorphosis


While I have a lot of shows on my plate right now, Supernatural will be one I watch on occasion, sporadically. Following after the show won't be on the agenda, so I think it will be a bit jarring at times. Took a look at Metamorphosis, an episode focusing on the brother demon/monster hunters, Dean and Sam, pursuing a regular suburbanite with a sudden unhinged, seemingly hostile craving for meat, not knowing he's genetically inherited a monstrous appetite that will encourage a metamorphosis if he feeds from human flesh! A rugaru, I believe is what he's called. A rugaru hunter named Travis, the brothers receive a call from, initiates their help in his mission.

Dameon Clark is Jack, the human battling the rugaru inside him so very hungry while his pretty wife, Michelle, is played by Joanne Kelly. Kelly, of Warehouse 13 fame, has the basic confused housewife role, with some unnerving news...she's pregnant! So Travis feels he must make a devastating decision in order to protect mankind. It's just too bad Jack stands in his way...and is no longer seemingly capable of halting his voracious need to feed.

Brotherly conflict resides in this episode as Dean punches Sam across the chops for using dangerous dark power with good intentions that could jeopardize / compromise his very soul and state of mind. Demon blood fed to him as a baby gives Sam an inner turmoil Dean doesn't understand. Yet Dean is told by angel Castiel that Sam using the evil inside to exorcise humans​ possessed to send the demons back to hell is discouraged by God. So there you go.

Ultimately Sam debates what to do while Dean scolds and chides him for aligning himself with Ruby, a demon secretly involved in manipulating him to eventually help her in her devotion towards Lucifer's benefit. She's in the episode momentarily, at the beginning, ordered away after an altercation with Dean by Sam. Castiel is mentioned by Dean, but he's not in the episode. So Metamorphosis focuses on a mission to either rescue or kill Jack if he's​ unable to stop the hunger. It gets grisly, and what Jack turns into is quite wholly unpleasant. So as the show does so well...grim times.
