God, this is late.
It's so late I almost didn't want to bother with a recap, but then I'd be missing one and that would annoy me.
It's been so long, I don't quite recall all the details of this episode. What I do strongly recall, however, is how sad and scared I was about the fact that Bobby could very well die at the end of this episode.
Sam and Dean had already lost so much, including Castiel this season, that I didn't want them (and me) to have to endure any more loss. And even as the last seconds of the episode were winding down, I kept hoping that some miracle would occur and Bobby would be spared. After all, this was Bobby who had been such a permanent fixture in the boys life, and in ours since the first season, that I couldn't imagine Supernatural without him.
And all throughout the hiatus, I kept praying the show would come back and Bobby would have miraculously survived.
Hoping, wishing and praying...
