Hosts Berly and LA tackle Season 1, Episode 5 of Supernatural, and LA opens with "I don't mess with that shit!" because Bloody Mary legends traumatized her as a kid (relatable).
The episode starts in Toledo, Ohio where three girls play truth or dare, and young Lily gets dared to say "Bloody Mary" three times in a mirror. Her dad Steven Shoemaker starts seeing a creepy figure in every reflective surface in their very mirror-heavy house (seriously, way too many mirrors), and ends up dead in the bathroom with his eyes liquefied into blood. Yikes.
Sam's having nightmares about Jessica burning on the ceiling and refuses to talk about it (tortured soul Sam is back!). The boys investigate and discover that Bloody Mary isn't just coming after anyone—she's targeting people guilty of causing someone's death. They meet bitchy-but-smart Charlie who appropriately gets Dean and Sam's numbers (smart moves, girl!), and her friend Jill who stupidly does Bloody Mary to prove it's not real and immediately dies.
Episode Highlights:
The hosts dive into the lore of Mary Tudor (the OG Bloody Mary) who earned her nickname by burning hundreds of Protestants at the stake. Brutal, but probably not the inspiration for the sleepover game.
"Lollipops and candy canes" - Sam's response when Dean asks what he dreamed about
