7x4 Defending Your Life : No one wants to do it alone.
7x5 Shut Up, Dr. Phil : Hello, salty goodness! The guest casting that caused my heart to grow effulgent.
7x6 Slash Fiction : Sam and Dean should have shotguns for this kind of deal. Shotguns that shoot borax, but still. They should have shotguns.
7x7 The Mentalists : Did you have that roommate in college who would break up with her boyfriend on Friday night only to be back together with him by lunch on Sunday? And it happened every weekend like clockwork until it just became routine and hardly even registered? Yeah. This episode is kind of like that.
7x8 Season Seven, Time for a Wedding! : Nuke’s scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man’s here. We need a live… is it a live rooster? We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose’s glove and nobody seems to know what to get Sam or Becky for their wedding present.
7x9 How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters : Bobby is fine! He and the Russian built a nice little cabin in the Pine Barrens.
7x10 Death's Door : It’s like that scene at the end of Planet of the Apes. All you can do is pound the sand and scream at the heavens because she did it. She finally really did it. SERRRRRRAAAAAAAA!!!!
7x11 Adventures in Babysitting : Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues.
7x12 Time After Time : Was it a stand alone that did little to advance the season arc? Yes. Did it feature Jensen Ackles in a custom suit and fedora? Yes. Does the later excuse any shortcomings of the former? Oh, yes. Yes it does.

SEASON 8
8x1 We Need to Talk About Kevin : “Saving people, hunting things. The family business.” Season 8 restates the mission, Dean is Legend, and Sam’s hair looks good, girl.
8x2 What's Up, Tiger Mommy? : The task of closing the gates of Hell just got a little more complicated. To say nothing of the search for the egg salad recipe.
8x3 Heartache : Sam makes a stand for Team Cake.
8x4 Bitten : The Doctor Who Series 3 episode “Blink” did a brilliant job of telling an emotionally engaging story from an outsiders’ POV using video as a key exposition element with minimal screen time for the series leads. “Bitten” is not “Blink.”
8x5 Blood Brother : Plenty of flashback-y goodness, but all you really need to know is that vampirates is a thing.
8x6 Southern Comfort : Garth steps into Bobby’s shoes and a specter slides into Dean’s psyche.
8x7 A Little Slice of Kevin : Cas is back! Cas is back! Cas is back!
8x8 Hunteri Heroici : It’s Supernatural. What did you expect, a happy ending?
8x9 Citizen Fang : Vampires I get. Roger Workman is crazy.
8x10 Torn and Frayed : Everybody breaks up with everybody and no one is happy. So, you know – Wednesday.
8x11 LARP and the Real Girl : House Winchester raises its banners. KINGS IN THE MIDWEST! KINGS IN THE MIDWEST!
8x12 As Time Goes By : Show adds a pleasantly satisfying new layer of myth and the boys meet their Winchester grandfather. Don’t get too attached.
8x13 Everybody Hates Hitler : Time travel. Nazis. The Impala is bigger on the inside. SuperWho is a thing.
8x14 Trial and Error : The Winchesters are closing the gates of Hell. You’ve probably never heard of it. It’s totally underground.
8x15 Man's Best Friend with Benefits : Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming wrote an episode that makes "Route 666" look good. Who knew such a thing was even possible?
8x16 Remember the Titans : It’s okay. After Oliver turned down the ice cream, Sam got him a mechanical owl, and that made everything better.
8x17 Goodbye Stranger : I loved this episode so mu-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-ch.
8x18 Freaks and Geeks : Krissy returns so she and Dean can be adorable together and fools that disrespect Bobby’s memory get served.
8x19 Taxi Driver : The second trial is completed and EVERYONE HUGS! ALL OF THE HUGGING!
8x20 Pac-Man Fever
8x21 The Great Escapist
8x22 Clip Show
8x23 Sacrifice

9x3 I'm No Angel : “You can’t stay.”

9x12 Sharp Teeth : No. No, sir. You two are going to sit there on that hood until you work things out.
9x13 The Purge : The boys are the most broken that they’ve ever been. Everything is terrible and all of it hurts.
9x14 Captives : This episode. Your emotions are in danger, girl.
9x15 THINMAN : The Ghostfacers are back and I don’t hate them. Is this real life? Is this bizarro world?
9x16 Blade Runners : “Take me to my brother.” So, are we good? You boys friends again? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
9x17 Mother's Little Helper : Nothing unites a family like demons harvesting souls.
9x18 Meta Fiction : Dean in the shower, the return of the Trickster, and great Cas one liners. ALL OF THE FRUIT BASKETS FOR ROBBIE THOMPSON!

9x20 Bloodlines : A perfectly cromulent addition to the TVD/The Originals-verse, but an SPN spin-off it was not. Let us never speak of it again.

SEASON 10

10x10 The Hunter Games : The boys turn to Metatron for help. It goes as well as you would expect.
10x11 There's No Place Like Home : Two Charlies come back from Oz. It’s kind of like what happened to Xander that one time on Buffy, only no one has to do the Snoopy dance to prove their identity
10x12 About a Boy : A witchy spell turns Dean into a teen. I’m pretty sure The CW actually developed de-aging technology, because Dylan Everett is just that good.

10x17 Inside Man : Bobby returns to pull our your heart and caress it before gently putting it back in your chest.
10x18 Book of the Damned : A book in flames, Metatron in the wind, and Cas gets his grace back. One out of three ain’t bad.
10x19 The Werther Project : The boys are forced to contend with a killer mist. Worst. Glade Plug-in. Ever.
10x20 Angel Heart : And then Claire went to live with Jody Mills. WAYWARD DAUGHTERS. MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

10x22 The Prisoner : Well, if Charlie’s death was intended to tip Dean over the edge, mission accomplished.
10x23 Brother's Keeper : The boys break the world again, but at least they have each other.
SEASON 11
11x1 Out of the Darkness : Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while Dean was sleeping. And the vision that was planted in his brain, still remains.
11x2 Form and Void : Two men and a little Darkness.
11x3 The Bad Seed : Jensen directs an episode written by Buckner and Ross-Leming. The phrase “making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear” comes to mind.
11x4 Baby : Baby gets her moment to shine in an episode brilliantly executed by director Thomas J. Wright and DP Serge Ladouceur from a script by Robbie Thompson that’s pure heart.

11x10 The Devil in the Details : It really can’t be stressed enough – don’t make deals with devils.
11x11 Into the Mystic : ET’s mom wants to rock Dean’s gypsy soul, just like way back in the days of old.
11x12 Don't You Forget About Me : Jody lives! Claire lives! Alex lives! Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES!

11x14 The Vessel : Une femme de lettres envoie ses salutations.
11x15 Beyond the Mat : The kiss stealing, wheelin dealin’, Impala riding, jet flying sons of a gun Sam and Dean Winchester are having a hard time holding these alligators down!
11x16 Safe House : Sam and Dean take care of some unfinished business and we get to spend some time with Rufus and Bobby. Sigh. I miss Rufus and Bobby.
11x17 Red Meat : Sam dies. Dean tries to make a deal. What season is this again?
11x18 Hell's Angel : Sam, Dean, and Crowley band together to send Lucifer back to the Cage. What could possibly go wrong?
11x19 The Chitters
11x20 Don't Call Me Shurley : Chuck returns and a fan favorite writer says goodbye. Fare thee well.
11x21 All in the Family : A Buckner and Ross-Leming episode that wasn’t terrible! That was actually good! Truly we are in the end times.
11x22 We Happy Few : We few. We happy few. We band of buggered.
