Supernatural - Episode 6.15 - The French Mistake- Recap

Wow, this was another great ep, played very well by Jared and Jensen. I mean, Sam and Dean. Or is it Dean and Jared? Yes, breaking the 4th wall can lead to big confusions sometimes. So let's begin, and try to figure this out.

Who needs walls when you got windows

Those who came to this episode unpreapared probably thought things like "Why are Meg and Ruby in the recap? Is this an 'Are you there, God? It's me, Dean Winchester' kind of episode, only with demon chicks?" Fortunately, with all the hype this episode made, the plot could be found just about everywhere online, so I kinda knew what to expect.

So Sam and Dean are in Bobby's place (I think they sleep their when they're in town. Or when they can't find a good motel). Suddenly, Balthazar shows up and starts comparing the situation to The Godfather. And making some weird blood sigil on the window. Just when some pissed-off angel (apparently called Virgil) arrives, Balthy gives the boys a key and sends them flying through the window...But they don't land outside. They land in the set Supernatural. Literally.

Before our poor duo has a change to figure out what just happened, they're being separated. Dean goes to make-up removal, and Sam (I mean, Jared. As in Sam....Damn it, let's stick with their show names) is taken to do some interview. The brothers reunite shortly after for some funny dialogue.

"They put freakin' make-up on us. Those bastards!"

"Why would anybody wanna watch our lives?"

-"According to the interviewer, not many people do"

"You're Jensen Ackles, and I'm something called a Jared Padalecki."

-"So what, now you're Polish?"

Dean is thrilled to see his Impala, before finding out the bitter truth- it's not as special as he though. The boys pray to Cas for some help...And there he is! He starts explaining the situation, until..

"Man...They put out new pages?"

Dear god, even Cas isn't real. Even our beloved angel is an actor. And not just any actor.

"His name's Misha. Misha?"

Oh, the self-jokes in this ep are killing me. And we soon discover that this "Misha" guy is twitter-happy. (I bet you all noticed, but in case you didn't, Collins was actually tweeting the things he tweeted in the ep wen it happened. Like we weren't confused enough already...)

Days of our Wives

The boys decide to investigate inside Dean's trailer ("Dude, I have a helicopter"). Sam finds some pretty interesting things about Jensen, including the fact he was in a soap

opera. (God, that hair of his in that clip was weird). Dean decides to try and reverse Balthazar's spell. Problem is, all the ingredients are fake. They try to go town with the Impala...which is also fake. They ask their bodyguard\driver to drop them at Jared's house.

Damn, this Jared sure is modest, huh? I mean, come on, who has a tanning bed inside their house? And even if they do, why is it in the freakin' living room? Show off...

"Dude, you have a Camel in your backyard."

-"It's an Alpaca, dumbass."

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN! It's...Ruby? (Their terrified expressions when they see her are just priceless). No, she's also an actress. And also, Jared's wife ("You married fake-Ruby?!"). She then says Jensen's never been to their house. Now, I didn't get this "not-talking unfriendly" thing with J-squared. Why weren't they friends in this universe? My guess is Jensen had to live in that trailer, and envied Jared for his big-ass house. (Though that doesn't make sense, 'cause that was one sweet trailer.)

"I should figure out her name." Good idea, Sammy.

Anyway, the boys decide to buy this bone they need online (They're not gonna dig it up from some corpse. This is the real world. There are laws and stuff). They find out they're filthy rich, and can buy pretty much anything they want. (And that cowboy picture behind Sam is definitely an overkill. Damn you, Jared Padalecki!).

Sam question Genevieve about events that happened in the apocalypse, but appear to have not happened in the real world. She then decides he's way into character, and takes him upstairs. (They didn't show it, but I know what they did there. He drank her blood. Once a junkie, always a junkie...)

So Good at Acting Bad

The guys get their bone at the airport, and are about to try and use it. But unfortunately, before they can get the set cleared, they're gonna have to pass the dreadful test...Of acting. And they fail it. Miserably. Over and over again. Which is hilarious, of course. And that weird behavior does not escape Misha's tweets.

Bob calls Sera Gamble (That's her actual voice, FYI), and tells her he has doubts about the boy's mental health and dedication. And a second later, they crash through a window behind him. Ouch.

They go back to the trailer after that failed plan, and realize that in this world there's no hell, no heaven, no angels. (The "No god?" part made me chuckle, being an atheist). But just then, Virgil also arrives in the universe. He tries to use his angel powers, but him and J-squared realize he doesn't have any mojo in the real world. So obviously they start beating the living hell out of him.

The crew manages to break the fight, but not before Virgil escapes with the key. Bob calls Sera again, and tells her they got a real situation. Although she's the show runner, they decide to bring in Kripke himself, who's apparently working on a new pilot. (Dunno about you guys, but I would totally watch "OctoCobra".)

Fallen Angels (Well, actors)

The boys go back to the set and find Bob (Really? The 'turning on the light' trick? You're suppose to be sitting in an armchair, and it's suppose to be a shade lamp..). He asks them about their strange behavior over the last few days. They tell him about their "true" identity, and quit the show. Oh, and they get really pissed when they learn his full name.

"What kind of a douchebag names a character after himself?"

Somewhere else, Virgil hijacked Misha's car and took him to some dark alley. Misha's begging weeps don't help, and Virgil slits his throat and makes a Goblet-call to Raphael (NOW that Meg part in the recap finally makes sense).

Sam & Dean learn that Misha's dead and go to investigate. A hobo who saw the whole thing tells them that Raphael plans to take Virgil back to their world. They decide to find him and try to use it. Meanwhile, since he has no powers, Virgil goes to plan B- weapons. He buys a nice shotgun and tests it on some off-screen dude.

Emotional talk time! Sam & Dean talk about how their world is pretty messed up and here they have this apple pie life, but they'd still prefer to go back. (I have to agree. Sam couldn't live in that house. It's just shouting "I'm famous"...My god).

The Good, The Bad and The Kripke

Finally, the boss-man shows up to take care of business. Hey, it's Kripke, he'll probably get lots of screen time...NOT. Kripke notices Virgil, who shoots him to some funny western tunes. 3 Times. R.I.P, Kripke. At least you made those 5 seasons you wanted. Virgil continues his shooting spree, killing almost everyone in his way (Did that guy just LEAN-DODGED TWO BULLETS? What the hell...). The boys tackle him and start kicking his ass again. But just then, Raphael pulls them through the window. Freeze frame. Cut to black.

Welcome back to fake-land, boys! But they don't have time to enjoy it, 'cause here comes...Raphael? He-I mean, she- appears to have done a vessel sex-change.

Raphael demands the key, but then Balthazar arrives and reveals the whole thing was a decoy to buy him time to find the weapons. And who better to posses their powers other than...Cas! You're alive! Thank god. Anyway, just before Angel-rumble begins, Raphy zaps outta there, followed by Balthazar. Cas grabs the boys and they zap back to Bobby's.

It appears Cas was in on the whole thing, and still won't tell the boys everything about the little war going on in heaven. He vanishes, and they finally realize they're back home. So they're poor and hunters and are in permanent danger...But hey, at least they're talking.

Rank- 10/10. Perfect, Perfect, Perfect! This episode was EPIC. I think the only one I liked better this season was Appointment in Sammara.

Well, that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed the ep and the recap.
