Supernatural, the stalwart CW series going on 10 seasons strong, finally gives their fans what they’ve been waiting for this entire season: a return to the drama’s glory days of monster of the week drama and the Winchesters doing what they do best: saving people, hunting things, namely, the family business.

In “Don’t You Forget About Me,” the 12th episode of the show’s 11th season, the Winchester Brothers — Sam and Dean — receive a call that causes them to race to the aid of an old friend. When they arrive in Sioux Falls, SD, they are greeted by Claire Novak, her foster sister Alex Jones (whom the brothers saved from vampires) and their foster mother and fellow hunter, Sheriff Jody Mills. These “wayward daughters” give the brother’s a glimpse into the family life they never knew.

Claire insists there is a monster terrorizing their hometown, but due to her erratic behavior in the past, no one believes her until a murder occurs at the local high school leaving a beloved math teacher hanging exsanguinated from a flag pole.

The episode received praise from the fans for bringing back the few surviving woman on the show, but other viewers were not as enthused about the “filler” episode. Throughout the season, the Winchesters have been working yet again to save the world, this season from the “Darkness” and Lucifer who, unbeknownst to them, is walking the earth in the body of their angel partner in crime Castiel. This episode did not revolve around that major theme of the season, which few viewers feel takes away from the season.

All in all, the episode encompassed everything present in earlier seasons, and was enjoyable for most viewers and was one of the highest rated episodes of the season, raking in 1.87 million viewers.

Here’s to hoping the show returns to its family business roots more often.
