Mom’s on a hunting trip, and she hasn’t been home in a while.
Hey, remember how cool and interesting those twins from Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox were?
Yeah, hope you werent too attached to them.

Deans worried about the faith Cas has suddenly placed in the Luci-tot.
(Plus, Cas returned that mix tape, so.)
Who would the Winchesters be if theydidntgo help?
Thats just a shape-shifter whos taken her form.
The real Marys watching in disgust as Ketch enthusiastically works over the shifter.
Yeah, never trust a guy whos this excited about torture.
As Max and Dean check out Baby, Alicia and Sam bond about being the odd sibling out.
Max and Tasha have magic; Alicia doesnt.
Dean and John had hunting; Sam didnt.
And then theres Mary, about whom Alicia delicately says, She doesnt seem like much of a hugger.
Similarities and differences settled, the quartet arrive at the Mountain Slumber Boarding House, where Tasha was staying.
But whatever, Tashas got wine!
The group starts imbibing while she surreptitiously examines a finger she broke on the corkscrew.
When she snaps it back into place with ease, it furthers the feeling that Something Isnt Right Here.
Mary feels the same and reminds him that was a one-time thing.
Then they disagree over whether noble ends justify cruel means; Ketch says yes, Mary says no.
He ends the argument by dickishly telling her to call Dean so he wont think she doesnt love him.
Theyre happy, he says, wistfully watching Max and Alicia tease each other.
So, you know, thats convenient.
(She also has three emails from Dean and one from Sam, if youre counting.)
Shefinallycalls Dean back, but hes busy drinking wine.
But the Banes family wont be happy for long.
Yes, we all saw it coming, but its still awful.
All three had their hearts ripped out.
Elsewhere in the boarding house, mean knitting ladys building a huge, human-shaped figure out of sticks.
Um, that cant mean anything good, unless theyre going toburn Nicholas Cage in it.
At the BMOL HQ, Mary prowls through a storage room and discovers that the package is Micks body.
She immediately calls Dean and leaves yet another voicemail, this one telling him they have a problem.
But when she tries to slip away, Ketch catches her.
They fight, and neither pulls punches.
She does some damage to his arm, and he reciprocates by throwing her across a desk.
Man, I hate that guy.
Thats mean knitting ladys room.
Realizing whats happening, she sends her minions after the hunters.
Its her, mostly, knitting lady explains.
She dies, and her creatures fall to dust.
By the time Dean and Max answer Sams calls for help, Alicias dead.
For the second time in an hour, hes hunched over a dead family member.
Later, the Winchesters find him outside, silently grieving.
They assure him that its going to hurt, but eventually the pain will pass.
His wild, bloodshot eyes probably shouldve warned them about whats to come.
Still, they leave, and Sam assures Dean that he did the right thing in saving Max.
Yeah, he seems super saved, Dean replies.
Yet happiness didnt protect them from tragedy.
And they sure do.
Mary wakes up in the same chair where her shape-shifter double was restrained at the top of the hour.
As her phone vibrates with Deans incoming call, the dreadful Lady Toni Bevell enters, stage left.
