Supernatural Season 5 Episode 5: Fallen Idols

Taking a break from the mega-huge apocalypse storyline (as most apocalypses tend to be mega-huge), this week, Supernatural slides back to the Monster of the Week format with the Winchester boys taking on wax museum mannequins, cursed objects, and Paris Hilton.

Posing as detectives, Sam and Dean stumble upon an accident involving the most recent owner of the fabled “Little Bastard,” the classic Porsche in which actor James Dean met his untimely demise.  The most recent owner had his head sliced open on the front windshield in a matter of seconds after his friend stepped out of the garage.  Hmm… Curiouser and curiouser. 

After finagling a way to check out the car, motorhead Dean has a pant-piddling go at authenticating the number on the engine block to see if it really is the Little Bastard.  As it turns out, the car is a knock-off with the Winchester lads tracing back the original owner of the car, who wasn’t James Dean. Nevertheless, surveillance footage from the victim’s friend’s video camera showed an oddly James Dean-looking figure creeping up on the guy, giving the faux Little Bastard a new paint job with its owner’s brains.
