Supernatural Season 5 Episode 6: I Believe the Children Are Our Future

This week’s Supernatural combines the Monster of the Week formula along with the running Apocalypse story arc with the Winchester boys making contact with a surprisingly sweet demon spawn. 

Posing this week as FBI Agents Page and Plant, Sammy and Dean learn about a rash of deaths resulting from joke store pranks gone seriously wrong: A babysitter, quite literally, scratches her brains out after her charge puts itching powder on her hairbrush and a nursing home resident accidentally cooks his roomie with a joy buzzer. 

After testing the joy buzzer and discovering a really quick way to cook a delicious ham and reference Babe in one fell swoop, Dean grabs Sam to pay a visit to the babysitter’s charge.   The kid gives them the info where the unusual murder objects were procured.  Turns out, both the joy buzzer and itching powder came from the same store: The Conjurarium.  Its militant, middle-aged owner — wearing a snazzy, homemade Siegfried and Roy — nearly soils his matching Monticore underroos when Dean melts a rubber chicken with the cursed buzzer.  Realizing that nearly dropping a deuce on the store’s floor is hardly the reaction of someone who had known the objects were cursed, the brothers Winchester hop in the Impala and head to the local hospital to follow their latest tip.
