Supernatural - Small Screen Review
Episode Nine - "How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters"
Following up on a possible sighting of the 'Jersey Devil', Sam, Dean and Bobby attempt to figure out what monster is out killing campers in a local town, while staying off the grid to avoid being tracked by the Leviathan. During their research, Dean tries a new Turducken burger at a local burger joint, after he and Sam interview the local sheriff, who seems rather unfazed about the recent killings.
The three hunters decide to hunt down the creature, coming across the remains of another sheriff who went missing recently. Calling in the new sheriff, he is also taken by the mystery creature; the creature is eventually shot by Bobby. The hunters soon learn that the monster is actually a vicious, hyperadrenalized human-zombie. As they discover this finding, Dean exhibits similar 'stoned' symptoms as the sheriff had.
Eventually, Sam and Bobby realize that the cause behind Dean's mind-dulling (and that of most of the burger joint patrons) is the Turducken sandwich, which ends up secreting a grey substance similar to what was within the hyper-zombie. Following the meat to the supplier, the hunters inadvertently discover the base of operations for the Leviathan. It is discovered that the Leviathan were working on a food additive designed to render humans complacent and mindless, potentially for ease of world domination.
However, the leader, Dick, appears and closes the project down because the adverse side effects - zombified humans - made headlines, which is something Dick wants to ensure does not happen to keep humans in the dark about their presence. He also dispatches the lead scientist Leviathan, Dr. Gaines, by placing a bib around his neck, which somehow forces Dr. Gaines to eat himself. Bobby, watching everything, is then attacked by another Leviathan and brought to Dick, who reveals that he plans on eating Bobby in the future, but plans to use him to lure in Sam and Dean. The brothers break into the facility and free Bobby, spraying down the Leviathan with chemical water to incapacitate and stall them. They then make their escape, with Dick attempting to shoot at the van. Seemingly safe, the brothers discover, to their horror, that Bobby has been shot by one of Dick's bullets.
Son of a bitch!
