Description

Supernatural Season 9, Episode 12, Sharp Teeth recap 🐺 Garth is back. He killed a cow, and then he got hit by a car. Berly and LA have questions on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast.

Garth has been missing for six months, and he has some explaining to do. It turns out he got bitten on a hunt, fell in love with a born werewolf named Bess, and joined a peaceful werewolf congregation run by a very sincere reverend. Berly and LA are charmed by Garth and Bess, suspicious of at least one family member from the start, and concerned about Sam’s brain after yet another knock to the head. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean are technically working together, but in separate cars, and definitely not talking about their feelings. Progress.

Episode Highlights:

• “Cow mooing, man grunting” (thank you, closed captions), and then Garth vs. a car
• “Am I in heaven?” (Same, Garth.)
• “The Mark of Cain? Like the wrestler?”
• Garth’s wife pops out of the closet, teeth first
• Garth and Bess’s pet names, and their cuddles on the couch
• They prefer “lycanthropes,” thank you, and dinner comes with very rare meat
• A hymn that runs one verse too long, and a stepmother who insists on the “step”
• Dean Googles werewolf lore on a search engine called Searched Things
• Dean’s knife throws: the Mark has him hitting the heart every time
• Sam gets knocked out (again), and then his very long legs save the day

Both hosts adore Garth and Bess, and they’re glad the show finally explains where Garth has been. His line about missing Sam, Dean, and Kevin stung, especially once he finds out what happened. The brothers’ “partners vs. family” talk lands hard, and Berly and LA were surprised Sam got back in the Impala at all. The gore is light, since these werewolves eat off plates. And the hosts want to see Garth fully wolf out someday.

In the lore segment, Berly points out that the show calls its wolf god “Fenris,” which is the Marvel spelling. The Norse original is Fenrir, the son of Loki, a wolf so big the gods had to trick him into a magic ribbon, with the god Tyr’s hand as collateral. Fenrir is still down there, waiting for Ragnarok.

“You two came busting in here like a house on fire. Guns waving, the jawlines, and the hair. It’s very intimidating.” – Garth
