Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Season 7, Episode 14:

Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie

The brothers return to Kansas to investigate a children's pizza parlor that is connected to the death of several parents whose children all attended parties there. While Dean confronts the individual responsible, Sam has to deal with his worst fear: clowns.

Tropes


  • Anachronic Order: The episode flips between Sam fighting a pair of clowns, and Sam and Dean investigating their current case sixty hours earlier.
  • Breather Episode
  • Brick Joke: From episode 2x13 "Houses of the Holy": "You know, there's a ton of lore on unicorns, too. In fact, I hear that they ride silver moonbeams and shoot rainbows out their ass!"
  • Filler
  • How We Got Here
  • Monster Clown
  • Narm Charm: The unicorn.
  • Nightmare Fuel: In-universe: The robotic greeter.
  • Suck E. Cheese's: The titular pizza parlor. Sam used to be dropped off there when he and Dean were younger, and it appears to be the source of his fear of clowns.
