Supernatural Preview: Digging Into the Winchester Family History
Sam and Dean dug into the wacky world of LARPing in this week's Supernatural in an episode that also featured the return of Felicia Day as former Roman Enterprises IT employee Charlie Bradbury.
After investigating the mysterious deaths of two LARPers, the Winchesters realized that Charlie was the Queen of Moondoor, the local LARPing game. Dean donned some medieval garb to walk the fairgrounds with Charlie while Sam did research. Later, the boys went to rescue a captured Charlie, who discovered that a fairy with a dark master was being made to hurt these men. Fortunately, Sam and Dean arrived in time to help defeat the man who summoned the fairy and then they both costumed up to fight in the Queen's battle. In the end, Dean gave a rousing speech right out of Braveheart and the boys ran into a hilarious battle. For more on the episode, read our full review.
Sam and Dean will come across and previously unseen person in next week's episode: Henry Winchester (their grandfather). They're shocked when a young Henry time travels to the present in search of a demon and meets with the boys to find John, convinced that his son can help him on his hunt. Naturally, the boys are shocked to learn that the Winchester family was also populated with hunters. All signs point to this episode being a big one for the boys' own family mythology.

ALL I ASK IS THAT GRAMPA WINCHESTER NOT BE KILLED OR TURNED INTO A COMPLETE DOUCHEBAG, LIKE GRAMPA CAMPBELL. KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT JEREMY CARVER SUCCEEDS WHERE SERA GAMBLE EPICALLY FAILED, WITH REGARDS TO THE BOYS VARIOUS FAMILY MEMBERS.
Agreed. I love Skinner in X-Files & was excited to see ‘him’ as Grampa Campbell. But not only they make him the enemies of the boys, without delving deeper into actual reasons, they also makes Sam ‘kills’ his own Grampa. I actually like Sera & understand what she had been trying to do. Yet I disagree with how she & the team, that includes Bob Singer, on how they deal with the Campbell patriarch. Especially when it comes to being the father of the awesomely tragic Mary.
I’ll admit that I was also quite disappointed with how the entire Campbell storyline turned out, mostly because it had a lot of possibility but it felt maybe a bit rushed or not well planned out. Regardless, I think Henry will turn out to be a completely different situation because his real history is completely unknown and he’s not sticking around. It is a bit more difficult to find a way to integrate the Campbells into an entire season versus Henry with one episode.
But I’m very excited to see what Henry’s presence reveals about John in particular, so I’m really looking forward to this episode!
