Sam and Dean head back to St. Louis, Mo. (site of Season 1's "Skin") where they have to figure out a way to help someone who already knows about what they do — the family business. In fact, this police officer once saved the hunters' lives while they worked a case together.
These days, James Frampton is also a witch...one that comes complete with a collared human/canine familiar named Portia. Any Supernatural fan knows that Dean hates witches. Turns out he's not into dogs either. This is definitely not the case for him.
After four really strong episodes ("LARP and the Real Girl", "As Time Goes By", "Everybody Hates Hitler", and "Trial and Error"), I have to admit that I couldn't quite get into this one. "Man's Best Friend with Benefits" was simply OK. I love the title but it was way light on mythology. The case didn't quite hook me. I didn't connect with the humor. Even the Sam and Dean moments couldn't save things for me. I still love Season 8 but you can't win them all.

With the fate of the hospital on the line, the surviving doctors of the plane crash and Callie decided they...

Kevin Tran makes a significant return in "Trial and Error." After hardcore focus complete with considerable harm to his health (headaches, nose bleeds etc.), he's finally able to give the Winchesters the first big lead in their quest to close the Gates of Hell. It all results in one of the brothers passing a huge test. Mind you, this is the first of three challenges that'll need to be faced.
When the flashback portion of the season came to an end (still miss you, Purgatory scenes), I was kind of worried about what the second half of the season would bring. I had no idea where this show was headed other than the whole closing the Gates of Hell business. Then the Men of Letters story was introduced. The Winchesters got a home base of operations. Things started to open up in an encouraging way.

Seattle Grace certainly is changing, but is it for the better or worse?
Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, in which potential buyer Pegasus Horizons toured the hospital, proved that things will not get better with an outside owner. In fact, seeing how a different Pegasus-owned hospital does business gave us a glimpse at a very grim future for Seattle Grace. Check out how the hospital changed this week:

Rabbis, Nazi Necromancers and a Golem, oh my.
In "Everybody Hates Hitler," Sam and Dean use their grandfather's key to open up what quickly becomes the Winchester Brothers' world headquarters. Their new digs are mighty impressive -- something straight out of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The brothers aren't there long before a seriously geeked out Sam discovers a case. The younger Winchester seems to find himself a purpose. For the first time in a long time, Sam seems content with where he is and what he's doing.

Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy proved that Seattle Grace is beyond saving.
Even though Derek and April spent most of the hour running around trying to get other departments to cut their budgets in order to save the ER, it was all for naught:

Sam and Dean meet their grandfather on the Winchester side. Henry makes the jump from 1958 to 2013 in order to keep something hugely important away from the powerful demon, Abbadon. How does Henry get along with his grandsons? And what do Sam and Dean learn from their relative? So much. It makes my head hurt thinking about all the knowledge that's dropped in this episode — in a good way of course.

Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy was, in the most imperceptible of ways, a real turning point for the surviving members of the plane crash that ultimately cost Lexie and Mark their lives and left Arizona, Cristina, Meredith and Derek — and in some ways, Callie, too — irreparably damaged.
During the hour...

Sam and Dean infiltrate the world of LARPers as they work a regular monster-of-the-week case that reconnects them with Charlie from Season 7's "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo." Yes, live action role-playing is the name of the game and Supernatural went all out to bring it to life. Time for a trip to Moondoor.
Charlie isn't the only one to make a return engagement in "LARP and the Real Girl" (although it was really great to see her working with the boys once again). We were also reunited with Adorkable Dean. Emphasis on "dork." Well, emphasis on "adorable" too. I love, love, love that he's able to channel his inner geek and tap into his fun side for this case. At first, you can tell this Larping thing intrigues him but he keeps his interest on the down low. He has a rep to protect, after all. Soon, he's giving Charlie some strategy advice and when he dons that handmaiden outfit, it's all on.

Guilt surrounds Seattle Grace on this week's Grey's Anatomy. That's because Owen continues to feel guilty about his role in the plane crash and the survivors of the plane crash feel guilty for the large sum of blood money they are about to receive. Yes, guilt works in mysterious ways. But they aren't the only ones who feel guilty. Let's check out who else was wracked with guilt this week:
