Part One: Eye For an Eye, Tooth For a Tooth. (Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid S05E15)

Episode Summary: Sam, Dean and the reader investigate Bobby's home town where the dead are rising from the grave but instead of attacking humans, they are happily reuniting with their families. Pairing: Dean Winchester x Reader Word Count: 4,817.

Previous Part | Supernatural Rewrite Masterlist

Your name: submit What is this? // <![CDATA[ function replaceAll(find, replace, str) { return str.replace(new RegExp(find, 'g'), replace); } function myHandler() { var input = document.getElementById("inputTxt").value; document.body.innerHTML = replaceAll('Y/N', document.getElementById("inputTxt").value, document.body.innerHTML); } // ]]>

It'd been two weeks since you and the boys departed from Bobby Singer's house after No matter what, Bobby was always there when you needed him. He'd welcome the three of you back when Sam was strung out of his head from demon blood and you gotten yourself knocking on death's door after losing most of your blood in your body, along with going a few rounds with two demons. Bobby didn't say anything. He let you use what you needed to get back to normal and hit the road where you had spotted a case just a few states over to occupy your time. Nobody had said anything what happened. You kept on going like nothing was wrong, like always.

You got back into town yesterday when you noticed some strange activity was going on in your very own Sioux Falls. It seemed there might have been a possible zombie case from a person’s eye witness they gave to the police. And it wasn’t everyday someone someone decided to rise from the dead and kill a random townsfolk.

"Bobby, listen," You stepped out from the backseat of the Impala with one hand pushing open the door as the other held your cell phone to your ear as you tried to contact a hunter who shouldn't have been hard to contact. During these stressful and trying times, he should know to keep his damn phone on him. "When you get this message, or the other five I left you, call me!"

You let out a frustrated sigh as you ended the call before shoving your phone back into the pocket in your skirt. Slamming the door shut behind you, you looked at the diner ahead of you, growing a bit happy that another case had fallen into your lap to help keep your mind off things. "Is he still not home?" You turned your gaze away from the diner's sign to Dean, who was growing a bit worried himself at Bobby's lack of communication with all of you. You shrugged your shoulders and followed behind the boys as they headed for the entrance. "How far could he get in that chair?"

Apparently pretty far, you thought to yourself. You mumbled a thank you when Sam held the door open for you as you quickly slipped inside the heated place that felt glorious compared to outside that was freezing with winter still sticking around. You crossed your arms over your chest as an attempt to get warmer and looked around the small diner, taking notice outside that it started to lightly snow. “So, what do we do now?” Sam asked you and his brother.

“Well, guess we just do it ourselves.” Dean said, nodding his head in the direction to the back of the diner when he spotted the witness who claimed he saw a dead man walking. The three of you walked over and introduced yourselves, giving him the usual speech before you got yourself comfortable in the booth with Dean, leaving Sam to pull up a chair. “Mr. Wells, why don’t you tell us what you saw—in your own words.”

“Call me Digger.” He said, you let out a bit of a chuckle from the unusual nickname. From his scruffy looking appearance, it worked on him, but it made him curious as to who exactly gave him the nickname in the first place and the story behind it. Most nicknames do. Dean liked to call you Nancy Drew for your research skills, and how you always poked your nose in things where it didn’t belong. And you called Sam Sasquatch for his giant frame that towered over most people, yourself included. But it seemed there really wasn’t much of an explanation behind the clever nickname. “I did.”

“You gave yourself your own nickname?” Dean asked, trying his hardest to be polite about what he was hearing. You rolled your eyes from what he said next, seeming to feel the need to tell the man about what he thought was a bit weird. “You can’t do that.”

Digger gave the man a dirty look, “Who died and made you queen?”

“Okay. Uh,” You jumped into the conversation before things could escalate into an argument when Dean found the man’s origin of his nickname unnatural and stray away from the reason why all of you were here in the first place. “Why don’t you tell us what you saw.”

“I saw Clay Thompson climb into Benny Sutton’s trailer through the window.” Digger explained the story that he’d given the police. “Couple minutes later, Clay walked out, and Benny’s dead.”

“And. Uh,” Dean reached inside the pocket of his suit jacket to pull out the photocopy of the driver’s license that you found of the murder suspect to show Digger. “Is this the guy you saw?”

“Well, he was all covered in mud, but, yeah.” Digger said. “That’s Clay.”

“And you are aware that Clay Thompson died five years ago?” Sam asked.

“Yep.” Digger answered, seeming sure of himself of what he’d seen that night.

“And you’re positive that it was this guy?” You asked yet again for clarification, pointing to the face in the licence photo. Digger looked at you with narrowing eyes, wondering if you were accusing him of lying, you raised a brow at him in curiosity. "You tell me, buddy. Can you think of any reason why Clay Thompson—alive or dead—would want to kill Benny Sutton?"

“Hell, yeah. Five years ago, Benny’s the one that killed Clay in the first place. It was a so-called ‘hunting accident.’ Now, if you ask me, Clay came back from the grave to get a little payback.” Digger's story seemed legit enough for you to be interested in hearing more about what he could give you. And while he seemed all for telling more, the man looked away from you to someone from the front of the diner, locking eyes with a familiar face. His smile slowly drifted off his face as he let out a faint sigh, almost seeming disappointed at who he saw coming forward to the table without your knowledge. "Heads up. 'Fargo.'"

"Digger." You looked over your shoulder slightly when you heard a female voice come from behind. You noticed right away from her uniform that she was an officer, a sheriff from Digger's greeting as he attempted to keep his focus solely on the table. You gave the woman a polite smile as she looked the three of you over, a bit curious to see who all of you were. "I'm sheriff Jody Mills. I don't believe we've had the pleasure."

“I’m Agent Dorfman, these are my partners Agent Knox,” Dean introduced the three of you as he pulled out his own badge to show the sheriff first as you followed after. He nodded his head to you before pointing a finger at his little brother. “And that’s Agent Niedermeyer. FBI.”

“Welcome to Sioux Falls.” Jody greeted the three of you with a warm welcome, but it seemed that wasn’t the reason why she paid a visit here. She stuffed her hands into her jacket and gave all of you a bit of a curious look. “Can I ask you what you’re doing with Digger here?”

“Well, they’re doing’ their job.” Digger remarked. “They believe me, sheriff.”

Jody gave the man a bit of a smirk from his sarcasm that she thought was the least bit amusing. She looked away from him and to the three people she didn't know just yet were the real feds. But a woman like Jody seemed like not much could pass by her from the question she asked. "The FBI believes a dead man committed a murder?"

“Look, we’re just asking a few questions here, sheriff.” Sam defended himself as he tried to give the woman a polite smile, hoping that be’d enough for her to leave all of you alone. “That’s all.”

“Of course, if a dead man didn’t commit the murder, then who did?” Dean asked the sheriff with a bit of a sarcastic bite in his tone. The man didn’t particularly handle authority well, and it seemed from the look on Jody’s face, she didn’t like it when people talked to her in that tone.

“What’d you say your jurisdiction here was again?” Jody questioned the man.

“Our jurisdiction is wherever the United States Government sends us.” Dean answered for her.

"Oh. Yeah. How 'bout me and your supervisor have a little chat about that?" Jody asked, deciding she had enough of this fooling around. Sam happily gave her the bogus card with the number that would only lead back to Bobby, who always was the one who fixed things like this. That is, if he was home. Jody busied herself by punching in the number and waited for someone to answer, and to your surprise, she gotten an answer. “Agent Willis, this is sheriff Jody Mills—Bobby?” But it seemed your luck had ran right when the man answered the phone. You should have expected a small town like this, people might recognize each other. You bit the inside of your cheek as the man tried his hardest to lie, but Jody was one sneaky woman. “Is this Bobby Singer...Bull crap.”

“So, uh,” You tried to strike up a conversation with the woman as Sam awkwardly grabbed the business card back from Jody as he slipped it back into his wallet for safekeeping. “So you know Bobby Singer? That is...a fun coincidence.”

“Here’s what I know about Bobby Singer.” Jody said, crossing her arms over her chest as your smile began to slowly fade from the things you were about to hear. "He's a menace around here—ass-full of drunk-and-disorderlies and mail fraud. You understanding me?”

“I think we all can agree that you’ve made yourself perfectly clear, yes.” You agreed with what the sheriff had said, trying your hardest not to get the three of you anymore in trouble.

“So, whatever the four of you are planning, it ends here—now.” Jody ordered. You looked away from her when she made her point even clear by looking all of you straight in the eye. “Ten four on that, agents?”

You simply nodded your head to the woman when you looked up just in time to look at her straight in the eye and see the threatening glare she was giving the three of you. She tossed one over to Digger before making her way out, seeming satisfied with the point she driven home. You looked over at the boys and shook your head from the way they handled the situation, as if it was their fault that you had gotten your ass handed to you by the sheriff.

+ + +

“You know how many times we called? Where have you been?”

When you had gotten clear evidence that Bobby was back at his house thanks to Jody Mills, you and the boys didn't waste a second in heading back over there. You followed behind him as you asked him repeatedly to figure out why he'd been dodging your calls all day. Bobby replied with yet another sarcastic answer, causing you to roll your eyes in frustration. You inhaled a deep breath from the lack of answers you were getting from him, while you were expecting to smell the usual scents that graced the Singer household, you were thrown off when you gotten hints of something that you've never had before here. And come to think of it, you looked around the library, taking notice that the place was completely spotless. No papers were out of sight, all the books seemed to have been neatly placed, and there wasn't the usual thick layer of dust that always caused your allergies to act up.

“What’s that smell?” You asked yourself, taking yet another whiff to see if you could identify it from your memory. “Is that soap? Did you clean?”

“What are you, my mother?”

"Excuse me, you grumpy old man—"

"Bite me!" Bobby seemed to be full of emotions today when he lashed out at you. You narrowed your eyes on the man, wondering if he wanted to try again with his remarks. Sam, however, tried to regain control of the conversation when he spoke the man's name in a serious tone before an argument could break. "I’ve been working. You know, trying to find a way to stop the devil."

“Find anything?” Dean asked, trying to be helpful.

Bobby looked at the man, “What do you think?”

“Bobby, it’s just there’s a case less than five miles from your house.” Sam said, letting out a quiet chuckle as he walked over to the small table in the middle of the library to lean against it.

“What, the Benny Sutton thing? That’s what this is about?” Bobby asked the three of you. It seemed that the man was one step ahead of you. You looked at him with a bit of confusion and asked him if he knew about this already. “Hell, yes. I checked into it already. There’s nothing here.”

“Except a witness who saw a dead guy commit a murder.” Sam pointed out a small fact that the man might have forgotten, and it was the reason why you even looked into it in the first place.

“What witness? Digger Wells?” Bobby wondered if that’s what you were talking about. Dean was the one who nodded his head, wondering why the man didn’t sound so intrigued to see what he had to say. “So, he’s a drunk.”

“Well, what about the lightening storms?” You asked. “They look like omens.”

“Except in February in South Dakota in storm season.” Bobby said. You didn’t know why, but you felt confident enough that this might have been another case for you. But it seemed that Bobby was the unfortunate one to burst that bubble. “Guys, I thought it was something, too. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”

“So who killed the guy?” You wondered.

“Take your pick. This Benny Sutton guy was a grade-a son of a bitch. There’s a list of the living a year long who wouldn’t mind putting a cap in his ass.” Bobby explained the situation a little bit more to all of you.

“So, you’re telling us...nothing?” Dean asked, as if he was playing it safe.

“Sorry.” Bobby apologized, shrugging his shoulders at the lack of things he could do more for the three of you. “Looks like you wasted a tank of gas on this one.”

+ + +

You and the boys headed out of town later that night, deciding that Bobby was right, there really wasn't much concrete evidence to prove there was something supernatural going on here. You were a bit disappointed at how the situation turned out. Part of you wanted something to work on, other than the massive agonizing struggle of the apocalypse that loomed over your head like a dark rain cloud. And the other half of you wondered, for whatever reason why, Bobby was lying to you. Why would he? In all the years you'd known the man, Bobby was the kind of hunter who shot first and asked questions later. And...he wasn't that particular about how his house was kept. And you'd never seen him without that trucker hat of his. Not to mention, the man had put some effort into how he looked yesterday. Perhaps Bobby had a lady friend he was interested in, that's why he went all this way to clean himself up. But Bobby didn't seem like he enjoyed anyone's company lately, he seemed to enjoy his time alone.

Maybe you were thinking too much about this situation, but it seemed you weren't the only one with a strange feeling about this. You knew the way out of Sioux Falls like the back of your hand, but the route that Dean was taking was way off. You turned your head slightly to look out the backseat window to see the sign for St. Anthony's cemetery pass by your view before disappearing behind you. Furrowing you brow in confusion, it only took you a moment to realize that Dean was heading into the cemetery to take a second look for himself. He parked the Impala against the side of the road and shut off the engine, Sam took notice a moment later, but didn't quite guess of what his brother was up to.

“Isn’t that the graveyard back there?” Dean asked, looking over his shoulder slightly to stare at the sign again to see if he was correct.

“Yeah. So what?” Sam wondered. “Bobby already checked it out.”

“And, what? Bobby’s never wrong?” Dean pestered his little brother with a few sarcastic asks of his own. Sam gave the man a bit of an annoyed glare from what he was being dragged into when Bobby had given his word. “Come on. We’ll take a peek, and then we’ll hit the road.”

You didn't disagree with the plan that Dean had decided to strike up, you were a bit curious yourself to see what was going on here. You and the boys headed out into the cold night with a couple of shovels and flashlights to help navigate the grounds a bit easier. You wrapped one arm around your body to try and block out the cold temperatures as you began looking at tombstones, wondering which one was the particular name you were looking for. You looked at a few names as Sam trailed off in front of you and Dean casually strolled around, whistling quietly to himself. It took only a few minutes of looking before you spotted Clay's grave. And from the texture of the grass, it seemed pretty fresh looking. Not something you would see in a grave that was buried a little over five years ago.

The boys did the honor of shoveling up the grave, you stayed back and kept guard. Soon it was just Sam in the grave as Dean was crouched on the ground, watching as his brother shoveled a few more scoops of dirt before coming across a coffin that didn’t look like most. You peered down to see that someone had busted it up pretty good, leaving you with the impression that a person might have attempted to dig up a corpse and break the coffin up. Or someone managed to pull an Uma Thurman and crawl their way out from the ground. It took a bit of an effort from Sam until he managed to open up the top. You should have seen something that resembled a skeletal remain of Clay Thompson. Instead, you stared into an empty coffin.

“I’ll be damned.” You muttered underneath your breath. “That son of a bitch lied to us.”

"What is going on here?" Sam asked, not needing anymore proof to know there was in fact a dead body roaming around town.

“I don’t know,” Dean said. “But something stinks.”

Your nose wrinkled slightly, hoping someone this Clay was returned to his normal self. You'd only dealt with a zombie case once, and the woman's body was still warm when she was exhumed by a guy who wanted to kindle a romance with deadly consequences. She went off the deep end and killed her cheating ex boyfriend that lead to her death in the first place and then after her friend who was the one keep the man’s bed warm. You had a feeling there might be a second repeat of this kind of behavior if you weren’t too careful. First it would start with getting revenge on the person who killed him, and then Clay could move on to just about anybody in town that even looked at him wrong. The more time that you let pass, the more rabid he would become. It was one of the effects of becoming a zombie.

+ + +

Clay Thompson's house felt like an appropriate next stop. Dean spent a moment unlocking the door before granting you access, all of you headed inside quietly as you could to take a look around the place. While the man might have been dead for the past five years, it seemed that his wife hadn’t gathered the courage yet to take down the pictures. You wandered around the place and stepped inside to what appeared to be the living room. Your flashlight went over to the fireplace to see there was an array of photos on the mantel. A few of the couple happily together and one of their baby, who at least had to be at least older than six from how long Clay had been gone. But nothing screamed murderous zombie to you. So, you kept looking.

You continued on your way through the house, soon finding yourself in what appeared to be the family room from what kind of furniture you spotted around the room. A couch was on one side with a few different types of framed artwork hanging up on the wall. What caught your attention was a desk pushed up against the wall. Most of the contents that you spotted were just an open planner and a few bills lying around, nothing of much interest. As you turned around in your spot to find something more interesting to discover, it seemed you had perfect timing tonight.

All you took notice of at first was a blurry figure, but then your brain remembered that one little thing, about how you were breaking into someone's house, and the owner might get a little bit angry. Before your head could be smashed in with a baseball bat, you managed to duck when the stranger swung at you, taking aim at a picture frame from the sounds of glass breaking. Before they could recover, you managed to be quick enough by swinging your arm back and throwing a punch directly into the person's gut, knocking the wind out of them and making them stumble to their feet. You stood up straighter and waited a second to hit them again after you heard the baseball clatter to the ground. Sam noticed the ambush and quickly aimed the shotgun at the stranger as Dean pointed the flashlight to see who your attacker was. Down on his knees, it seemed that Clay Thompson wasn’t a skeleton or a decomposing body, that was for sure.

“Don’t shoot! Please!” Clay pleaded for his life as he covered his arms with his face, afraid you might try and punch him again. But you stood over him, a bit perplexed with what was going on here. “There’s money in the safe.”

“We don’t want your money.” Dean reassured the man.

“What do you want?” He asked, still a bit fearful as he lifted his head up slightly to make eye contact with the three of you for just a moment. But it gave you enough time to inspect his appearance when it wasn’t what you were expecting. You noticed that he was far paler from his licence or the photos around his home. And the bags underneath his eyes were a bit frightening. He looked undead. “Anything. Please.”

“You’re Clay Thompson, right?” You asked, just to be more on the safer side here. Maybe Mrs. Thompson had remarried to someone that looked a bit familiar to her husband as some sort of comfort thing, the possibilities with hunting, and life in general, were endless.

"Who are you?" Clay asked, seeming a bit more comfortable with looking at what he thought were intruders straight in the eye now that he realized you knew his name. He still appeared a bit guarded, wondering himself of what was going on, and why you were standing in his house with a loaded shotgun at him.

“Um,” Sam cleared his throat, deciding to go with the same angle as earlier today, despite the warning the sheriff had given you when she called your bluff. “FBI.”

“FBI? Oh, my God. This is about Benny.” Clay mumbled, making you a bit more confused when you asked him what he was talking about yet another dead guy. “He killed me! He shot me in the back! I’m supposed to let him get away with that?”

“Hold up. Are—are you confessing?” You asked him, wondering if this was really happening.

“Please. I’ll go with you. Just—Just don’t wake my kids.” Clay was making your job awfully easy tonight. You furrowed your brow as you looked away from the dead man and to the boys, wondering if this was really happening. The brothers seemed a bit confused themselves at what was going on here. You looked over at Clay, and a bit slowly, you asked him where he exactly meant you were going to take him. "Jail."

"Let me get this straight. You're Clay Thompson and you died five years ago?" You asked the man, Clay answered with a yes. "And three days ago you climbed out of your grave, and you killed Benny Sutton? So you are, in fact, a dead guy who committed a murder on someone who happened to have killed you. This is very...code of Hammurabi here.”

“What? I guess.” Clay said, seeming a bit overwhelmed himself from what you were saying. “I don’t know what I am.”

"Clay?" You quickly looked over to the other side of the room when you heard a female voice break up the conversation the four of you were having. You noticed right away it was Mrs. Thompson, she seemed a bit unsure of what was going on as she came prepared with a bit of unsettling news from what she did. "I called 911."

"It's okay, honey. These people are the FBI." Clay reassured his wife when he noticed she was a bit nervous from the scene alone of three strangers and a gun. "They're here about Benny."

“Why don’t you come with us, Mr. Thompson?” Dean asked. “I think they’d be best.”

Clay didn’t seem to mind the plan one bit, as he still believed you were the authorities. You had to work quick before the real cops could get here and bust your plan. But you gave the man a few moments to put on some pants and a jacket before you embarked into the cold winter night and somewhere a bit more secluded to figure out what was going on. Clay lead the way down the porch steps as he began heading for the Impala after you instructed him to. Sam followed behind the man as you walked in sync with Dean, who thought the loaded shotgun his brother was carrying didn’t seem to be enough. You looked over in his direction at the right time to see him pull out his own gun from his jacket. Before he could do something stupid, you hissed his name as you lowered the gun out of the other man’s direction.

“He’s a monster, Y/N.” Dean whispered to you.

You scoffed at his analogy for the man, “He’s a soccer dad, at best.”

“What do you want to do with him?” He asked you, but you didn’t get to answer his question.

“Freeze!” Your eyesight was quickly blinded by a light being flashed directly in your vision, catching you off guard. You didn't need to hear the voice again to realize it was sheriff Jody Mills, and without having to hear her warning for the second time, you drew your hands up in defeat to show that you were empty handed. "Drop your weapons!"

"All right. Hey. Remember the guy you said that was dead and couldn't possibly commit murder? There he is." Dean said, feeling a bit proud of himself at how he thought that he might have pulled a little told you so to the cops. Jody, however, didn't seem so convinced when she saw Clay Thompson, a man she had presumed was dead, was standing just several feet away from her. "'And'? And you're welcome—for catching the undead killer zombie.”

“Whatever he is or isn’t—that don’t give you the right to shoot him in the middle of the street.” Jody said, not seeming to be the one to be persuaded by a story that was true. You rolled your eyes in frustration when she pulled out a pair of handcuffs, and started with you. “You’re free to go, Mr. Thompson.”

“I can’t believe you were gonna kill me.” Clay said, shaking his head at the three of you.

“You’re a zombie!”

“I’m a taxpayer!”

"So am I!" You yelled back at the man, giving him a dirty look as he passed you by at back to his house after he realized the three of you were not what you’d told him. You let in a deep breath as you looked over at the boys, a sour look settled across your face at the situation you were put in. "I hate the both you. You know that, right?"

I would love for you to talk more indepth about the montage. To me it feels so off and weird. Almost like a parody? So many scenes in it are "funny" moments that just don't make sense in the context of an emotional overview of the road so far... (Like all the scenes where Dean is eating, Donna with donut dust on her face, Sam getting hit during the game show.) I don't know. Isn't the montage supposed to make me nostalgic, teary-eyed? This one definitely doesn't do it for me!

Here I am! Yes, I absolutely agree. The montage is Weird(TM). It’s kind of a tone rollercoaster. It’s very full of funny/silly moments, with some serious moments smacked in. And it definitely looks like... there’s something about it.

For an easier consultation I will reference the gifs I have made of the montage sequence here.

[Gif 1] It starts pretty much like I’d expect a Supernatural goodbye montage to start. The two brothers meeting for the first time in the pilot, a reminder of their childhood with John, their banter still from the pilot, a couple moments of them driving in the car in the first seasons, Dean saving Lucas in 1x03 which is the first Dean-heavy episode and also an extremely symbolic moment for Dean’s entire journey - just think at how Lucas as a mirror was still relevent during the “drowning” Michael possession arc. Everything feels normal so far. We’re starting from the beginning! Now--

[Gif 2] Interesting and weird choices start here. Them pretending to be high school teachers from After School Special 4x13 - actually a very iconic moment for the fandom, remember that post of Dean in shorts from that episode that you had to reblog when it came on your dash? (Actually I’m not sure if I ever reblogged it lol.) Dean celebrating getting young again from The Curious Case of Dean Winchester 5x07 (and Jensen showing off his agility). The two of them showing their FBI badges to Jesse Turner’s biological mother in 5x06. Dean mowing the lawn of Mary’s house in the Djinn dream and immediately after Jess and Sam kissing also in the Djinn dream, from What Is And What Should Never Be 2x20. Then Dean after killing the witch when he was under the memory loss spell, in Regarding Dean 12x11. Sam happy when they celebrate Christmas in A Very Supernatural Christmas 3x08. Them being “lucky” under the effect of the rabbit’s foot in Bad Day At Black Rock 3x03. Sam also happy in Baby 11x04.

Again the present, then the montage starts again with the water-related ghost from Red Sky At Morning 3x06, a Bela episode, and then Bela herself from her first episode, 3x03 again.

What do these moments have in common? Not all of them, but for many of them I’d say reality being manipulated. The Djinn dream, the rabbit foot, Dean’s aging, the Antichrist... and it’s not over yet. Also, them pretending to be teachers, agents etc - not “real”.

[Gif 3] The tone suddenly gets more serious and relevant to current events: Chuck in The Monster at the End of This Book 4x18 (eh). Death in Two Minutes to Midnight 5x21 (the first appearance of Death, while now we’ve had Billie’s last and a very short-lived new one), and then two major moments from Lazarus Rising - Dean emerging from the grave and finding the handprint on his shoulder. Crowley’s first episode, Abandon All Hope 5x10. Zachariah’s death in Point Of No Return 5x18. Anna from The Song Remains The Same 5x13, where she is the antagonist having been brainwashed successfully by heaven. Michael burning and Sam jumping in the cage with Michael in 5x22, then another moment from 4x01 (the brothers hugging after reuniting). A moment from The French Mistake 6x15 (reality fuckery again!). Sam in Frontierland 6x18.

[Gif 4] Reality fuckery continues with Becky marrying Sam in 7x08. Funnily enough, this is the peak of Becky’s obsessive behavior which she went to therapy for and grew away of - it definitely emphasizes how far Becky has come. Donna’s first appeance in 9x13. That iconic shot of Dean in Bloodlust 2x03 because he’s pretty. Charlie’s first appearance in 7x20 while she dances to Walking On Sunshine (relevant?), Kevin’s first appearance in 7x21 when he becomes a prophet (lots of firsts). Abaddon’s first appearance in As Time Goes By 8x12. Then there’s the first appearance of the bunker, in the next episode, a couple shots in fact. Then more 4x01, Ruby pretending to mistake Dean for the pizza man (eh). Then more present...

This section seems to be mostly “first appearances” - including Ruby’s s4 meatsuit, i.e. Genevieve’s first appearance.

[Gif 5] We suddenly jump to more recent events with Kelly and Jack in heaven in Byzanthium 4x08. Jack’s iconic hello from 4x16 Don’t Go In The Woods. Dean teaching Jack how to drive in 14x07 Unhuman Nature. But then we suddenly go from Jack things to something completely different on the surface: two consecutive moments from Changing Channels 5x08, including the iconic Nutcracker scene, and Sully from Just My Imagination. We are actually back to the previous theme: reality fuckery. Gabriel’s episode was about placing them in “television shows”, Sully, while real, is literally a child’s “imaginary friend”. And then... a moment from the cartoon part of Scoobynatural! It doesn’t get more reality fuckery than that. Oh, wait! Charlie and Dorothy going to Oz in 9x04. That’s a pretty strong contender. Dean being hit in the face by a fairy in 6x09 - also about a realm Dean briefly went to. And, in case we felt like we hadn’t gotten enough 4x01 yet, Pamela’s first appearance (her last, albeit a hallucination, was about the whole “How come you only want what you can't have?” thing).

[Gif 6] We continue again with a mixture of firsts and weird things. Ellen’s first appearance in 2x02, Dean and Cas in 4x18 (we saw Chuck from that episode earlier), Jody’s first appearance in 5x15 Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. Rufus in 6x04 Weekend At Bobby’s (not his first but a good episode...), Garth in 9x12 Sharp Teeth (not his first but the first in which he is a werewolf and is married... relevant to recent lamp events??), Missouri in 1x09 (her first appearance).

Then Gabriel from 13x21 Beat The Devil (an episode where he plays a trick on Lucifer) and Rowena from the same scene (in fact a scene where they’re flirting). Then Eileen coming back to life in 15x06 and smiling at Sam. Jo flirting with Dean in 2x02 - her first appearance, again. Funnily enough, she had been introduced as a love interest, but ended up being repurposed as a sisterly figure. Tempted to say it’s relevant in an ironic way. Mary in 14x11 Damaged Goods, when Dean has a goodbye mother-son moment with her. Amara in 11x09 Oh Brother Where Art Thou when she was looking for her brother. Then Lucifer in two different vessels (12x07 Rock Never Dies and 12x21, when Lucifer regains control over the vessel).

Then Metatron doing the find a wife make babies speech to Cas in 8x23! Relevant??? Dun dun dun. Then Ketch for some reason (the first episode where we see his face, 12x08 LOTUS).

[Gif 7] Then Jo/Anael in 13x13, another first appearance. (I cropped these horribly I should have cut them when the present happens lol.)

Sandwiched between two shots from the present, Dean Sam Mary and John having dinner together in 14x13 Lebanon.

Then we start again with Dean riding Larry in 12x11, Dean and Cas dressed as cowboys in 13x06 (mini pattern here...), Asmodeus with the archangel blade in 13x13 (insert meta about Asmodeus in Christian lore here), and the really intriguing “Intermission” shot from the play in 10x05.

[Gif 8] To continue a certain pattern we might be tempted to see, Dean eating piecake from 14x06 Optimism (an episode about a distorted version of romantic love), then Dean eating noodles from 10x13 Halt & Catch Fire (the ghost is a husband that passes on thanks to his wife). Dean after his dentistry session with Garth in 15x10. Meg from 6x10 Caged Heat (the episode with the pizza man porn). Dean and Sam investigating in 4x12 Criss Angel Is a Douchebag (an episode about growing old poorly). Crowley in 10x16 Paint It Black (that episode). Dean playing that game in 14x17 Game Night (the episode Cas calls for God, and when Mary dies - the one playing the game was God...). Sam and Dean getting out of the car in 13x05 when they visit the traumatized kid (peak mourning Dean episode...). Then we go into reality fuckery territory again with 14x15 Peace of Mind, Sam under the psychic’s control and Cas disgruntled about it.

[Gif 9] Mick Davies from 12x16 Ladies Drink Free, when he learnt a lesson about monsters. Dean geeking out about the Hatchet Man - so heavy with mirror significances - in 14x04 Mint Condition. Belphegor - Jack’s dark mirror - in 15x03 The Rupture, the break-up episode. Donna’s first episode again, this time Dean and she eating donuts. Dean, Sam and Mary hugging in 12x22 after the confrontation in Mary’s head. Kaia in 13x09 The Bad Place, when Jack uses her to find the way to where Mary is (Mary pattern?). Claire&co rescuing Jody and Donna in 13x10 Wayward Sisters. Dean in 1944 dresses as a sailor in 11x14 The Vessel. Baby nyooming in 15x11 The Gamblers...

Aaand more Changing Channels, the genital herpes ad. It’s almost like reality fuckery is a theme. Followed by Sam drinking the anti-cold concoction at Garth’s in 15x10 and the two of them outside the monster fighting pit in the same episode. Then Cas, Dean, Sam and Jack on a video call with Ketch in 14x09 The Spear when they talk about the egg to trap Michael.

[Gif 10] We stay in the same episode with the four of them heading to Michael. Then the four of them celebrating Jack’s return to life (after Cas’ deal with the Empty). More present, and then the iconic “we’ve got work to do” [trunk closes] moment from the pilot.

So: some of these moments seem like genuine moments you’ll want to put in a montage, but there’s a weird predominance of characters smiling and looking happy or goofy. It’s kind of... not exactly representative of the show as a whole, you know? There are moments that fit as, you know, iconic steps in the story, but surprisingly few, and many moments you’d expect to be in a “final” montage are blatantly not there. Several moments with, let’s put it like this, suspicious meta connotations. Moments that, well, we don’t know what happens in the finale yet, but smell like they might be relevant to future developments. (Metatron’s speech to newly human Cas anyone?)

What really strikes me is the amount of moments connected to reality being manipulated or distorted in some way. Lots of Changing Channels, fantasy elements of various kinds (the Djinn dream, Scoobynatural, Oz, the imaginary friend Becky’s wedding to Sam, the fairy, ...), them acquiring luck (s3) or losing it (s15), and so on. It’s almost like the sequence is telling us something...
