Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Season 7, Episode 22:

There Will Be Blood

Sam and Dean start collecting the ingredients needed to take down Dick Roman, starting with the blood of Fallen. With Castiel's blood already acquired, they turn to Crowley, who only agrees to part with his if they can get the blood of an Alpha first. He directs them to an Alpha Vampire; but on their search, the brothers discover that the Leviathans are poisoning food products with the formula they created and tested with the Turducken sandwich.


Tropes


  • All-Natural Snake Oil: When the brothers discover that Dick is using corn syrup to distribute his formula, a desperate Dean wants to start buying food labeled as 'natural'. Sam points out that corn syrup is 'natural'. If they want to avoid the tainted food, they have to stick to fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • An Offer You Can't Refuse: Dick Roman tries to bribe Kevin Tran into translating the Word for him. When Kevin refuses, Dick reveals that they're holding Kevin's mother hostage.
  • And Then What?: Sam is a little more cautious about proceeding with the Kill Dick plan than Dean is.
  • Colliding Criminal Conspiracies
  • Decapitated Army: Discussed. Sam and Dean aren't sure if "Cut off the head and the body will flounder" means killing Dick will actually wipe out his followers or if they'll just be left with a leaderless army of Leviathans.
  • Double Entendre: "What makes Dick so hard to beat?"

Crowley: I'm all for chopping Dick, but...

Dick: Which is why we're diving whole-hog into what keeps Americans living longer and tasting better.
Gloria: You do mean of course to say the food will be tasting better.
Dick: That's exactly what I mean.
