Wendigo (1x2)

Hosts Berly and LA tackle Season 1, Episode 2 of Supernatural, and they cannot stop saying "Wendingo" instead of "Wendigo" (there's only ONE 'n', people!).

The episode opens in Black Ridge, Colorado where three camping bros learn the hard way that see-through tents offer zero protection. One guy gets attacked (RIP, early 2000s horror tropes), Corey Monteith gets snatched from the tent, and the third guy films it all on his Blackberry held backwards because front-facing cameras weren't a thing yet. Remember those days?

Meanwhile, Sam's having nightmares about Jessica doing a Carrie-style grave grab, and the brothers are on their way to the coordinates Dad left in his journal. They meet Haley Collins (serving looks in tiny shorts that are NOT woods-appropriate), her baby brother Ben (aka young Han Solo himself!), and their sassy guide Roy who is about to learn why you should STAY IN THE PROTECTIVE CIRCLE.

Episode Highlights:

• Sam and Dean posing as "Ranger Ford" and "Ranger Hamill" while talking to future Han Solo (Star Wars Easter egg overload!)
• Dean's "I don't do shorts" fashion stance
• Peanut M&Ms saving the day via Hansel and Gretel trail
• Roy being "secretly sassy" before becoming Wendigo snacks
• The hosts' deep dive into Wendigo psychosis and unwanted Dahmer talk
• Zero blood splooge count this episode (just evidence of previous splooge)
• Dean getting a kiss while Sam gets a shoulder pat (ouch)

The Wendigo goes down in flames, the Collins siblings survive, and everyone agrees to tell the authorities it was a bear. Dean declares he hates camping (relatable), and Sam gets to drive for once.

"Saving people, hunting things, the family business."
