Recap Episode 7.11 “Adventures in Babysitting”
(Original Title: Kick Dick: Volume 1)
Chapter 1: Sown are the Seeds of Revenge
Sam’s sad puppy face looks at Dean. He wants to put his wet muzzle against his bro’s neck, but Dean’s dead inside stare keeps him away. While Sam is not looking, Dean glances at him. His expression seems to say “This is all I’m left with?”.
This goes on for weeks
“Bobby. . .” Sam presses his boo-boo
“Bobbay. . .” Dean hugs trenchie
“Bob-by. . .” Sam rests his head on Satan’s shoulder
“Bobbah. . .” Dean blows his nose in trenchie
“Bo-wait a minute. How come you didn’t do any of this mourning stuff for me when I died and went to Lucifer’s cage to be tormented for all eternity?”
“. . . Uuuuh, hey, I know! Let’s try to figure out what those numbers Bobbay gave us mean. . .”
Chapter 2: The Flower of Revenge Blooms.
“I can’t figure out what these numbers Bobbay gave us mean!”
“Calm down, Dean.”
“Sammay, Bobbay died so that we could start doing things on our own again, like how we used to a very, very, very long time ago. With no help from anyone. With no one figuring stuff out for us. . .That’s it!” Dean snaps his fingers.
“What, Dean? Did you figure out what those numbers mean?”
“No, I just remembered that crazy Frank guy Bobbay introduced us to awhile ago. He can figure stuff out and tell us what to do!”
“. . .”
“Yep, then we can have an 80’s metal montage where we do splits on chairs, cover every inch of our body with weapons, and set booby traps all over the showdown place. . . For Bobbay!!”
“For Bob-oh wait his phone’s ringing.. . .hmmmm. . . sounds like some little girl needs help. I guess I’m going to have to sit out this whole avenging Bobby/stopping the Leviathans from global domination thing.“
“Sure Sammy, the only person I have left in this world, go into unknown danger all by yourself with Leviathans swarming all over the place to take care of the priority equivalent of rescuing a cat from a tree. I’ll just drink this beer and wait for Frank to figure things out for us. . . Hey! You drank all my beer!”
“It wasn’t me. . . maybe Satan did it.”
“Just go.”
Chapter 3: Revenge’s Hammer.
“So new Bobbay, what have you got for me?”
“I’m not new Bobby! In fact, don’t even consider me a supporting character. I know what happens to them on this show.”
“Nice try Frank, but you’re gonna die eventually. And you’re not gonna even get a cool heroic death like Bobbay or Ellen and Jo. It’s gonna be more like that offscreen death that Ash got.”
“Would you stop!”
“Everyone dies! Even me and Sam died. Even the Impala kind of died. You’re gonna diiiiieeeeeee!”
“You know you are very unprofessional. Why can’t you be more like me?”
“You mean, living in one of those paranoid people trailers, pointing guns at everyone who comes near you, and having a very offputting, cranky disposition?”
“No, I mean I always keep it professional. I always have a smile on my face.”
“Dude, I have never seen you with a smile on your face. Unless you consider a sarcastic grimace a smile.”
Frank tells Dean that the numbers that Bobby gave him are actually coordinates to a field in Wisconsin. It is believed to be the place where the Leviathans will build their secret weapon: The cheese wheel of death!
Frank and Dean, dressed as telephone repairmen, head over there to get their spy on.
“Ok, it’s go time! For Bobbay!”
Dean spends about an hour trying to figure out how to operate the lift to get him to the top of the telephone pole.
“Oh no! Dean they have surveillance cameras everywhere!”
“Quick let’s get out of here!”
Dean spends another hour trying to get back down.
Chapter 4: Revenge takes a coffee break.
Frank and Dean decide to get their spy on much, much farther away. And by spy on, I mean, Frank spies on a couple making out in their car while Dean sleeps for almost two days straight sitting up.
Dean checks his voicemail:
“Hi Deanie, looks like I’m dealing with snaky monsters called Vetalas. . . slow eaters, loners, gank em with a silver knife. . .call me, I could use your help. I don’t know why, I just told you everything there is to know about them.”
“Oh crap!”
Dean can’t reach Sam, but gets a call from Chrissy instead. She tells him that Sam hasn’t returned in days. Whatever could have gone wrong? Dean heads over to her house. She knows where Sam was heading, but she insists that Dean take her with him.
“You don’t want to come with me kid. Everyone always ends up dead.”
“They wouldn’t kill off a cute little kid like me. . .would they?”
“Are you kidding me? This show would kill off a basket full of puppies that Sam got me for Christmas.”
“gulp. . .Well I have to go with you anyway because you need someone to be with you so you can explain how Sam, one of the saviors of mankind, got so easily duped by some silly monster of the week.”
“See Sam thought they were loners when they actually work in pairs.”
“Why did he think that?”
“Because it says so in our father’s journal. It seems the one Vetala he faced was a hermity antisocial Vetala. But I had faced a pair of em while Sammy was in college.”
“So like you never thought to put a little asterisk in his journal that says Vetalas in fact work in pairs? I mean don’t you think you should have your own damn journal by now, dumbass?”
“What can I tell you? There are many an episode that could have never been possible without my stupidity.”
Dean and Chrissy arrive at the restaurant where all the victims had gone before they disappeared. While Dean gets distracted by the prostitute lady who is luring some guy behind a truck, Chrissy notices a waitress come out of the restaurant, get into the drivers seat of the truck and drive away with prostitute lady and the dude suddenly gone.
“Wow Dean how could you not notice that?”
“I’m tired, ok. I’m just tired. Ouch!”
“What happened?”
“Something just slapped me in the back of the head!”
Dean looks behind him, but doesn’t see anything.
“That’s weird.”
“What a dweeb.”
They follow the truck to the ol’ abandoned warehouse. Dean handcuffs Chrissy to the steering wheel to keep her from coming with him. Inside, Dean gets into a brawl with snaketress and is about to gank her when Chrissy suddenly shows up and gets grabbed by hookobra. Dean, acting like it’s his first rodeo, drops his knife, pretty much dooming everyone to a slow death. Luckily Chrissy's hiding a shank of her own and sneaky stabs hobra. She frees Sam who takes care of the other one.
“Wow that was a pretty embarrassing outing for you guys. Good thing I was there to save you.”
“Yep, I will totally ignore the fact that you running in there and letting yourself get caught kind of messed the whole thing up in the first place. It’s just the kind of stupid we are looking for in fact. How would you like to be a supporting character on Supernatural? I’m sure they will give you a really cool death since you are a kid and all.”
“Gggyeah, I think I’m just gonna go to college instead.”
Chapter 5: Revenge gets back to work.
In the Impala. . .
“You know we kind of sucked hard at the whole getting revenge for Bobby thing.”
“Don’t worry Sammy. We were just loosening up. Now it is officially on!”
“I saw the preview for the next episode. It didn’t look like it was officially on there either. It’s one of those ”we’re in the 40’s just because” episodes that every show seems to have at some point even though nobody really likes them.”
“Hey Frank told me I should be more professional. So I’ve been practicing my “everything’s good” smile. What do you think?” Dean smiles at Sam.
Sam screams and jumps out of the Impala.
