Supernatural (TV series)/Recap/S06/E17 My Heart Will Go On
The Winchesters investigate mysterious deaths that are only connected through the ship the victims' ancestors immigrated to America on -- a liner called the RMS Titanic. Meanwhile, Bobby and his wife Ellen have a talk.
Tropes
- Alternate Universe: When the boys get into a classic Mustang, we know something is up.
- Appeal to Obscurity
- Back From the Dead: Ellen and Jo, to the viewers. In-universe, saving the Titanic somehow meant the Harvelles never actually died and so aren't actually resurrected.
- Cosmic Retcon
- For Want of a Nail
- Greek Mythology: The Fates.
- Hesitation Equals Dishonesty: Castiel is still getting the hang of this whole "deception" thing.
- Hot Librarian: After catching a glimpse of Fate, Sam describes her as "like a librarian."
 |
Dean: Your kind of librarian or my kind of librarian? |
 |
- It's a Wonderful Life: Though the alternate timeline is arguably better than the original.
- Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory
- Rube Goldberg Device/Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts
- Shown Their Work: Using a piece of tile or terra cotta to test the streak color is actually a valid, relatively accurate way of identifying minerals.
- Take That: Celine Dion, and Titanic
- Tempting Fate: Invoked.
- Too Soon: "Yeah, Dean, I'm pretty sure six seconds is too soon."
- What the Hell, Hero?: Fate to Castiel.
- You Can't Fight Fate: Pretty literally.
- You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!
