Something wicked this way comes !

Albanian witch who feeds on children life essence, sounds quite dull and lame, but it actually worked for 'Supernatural' series. Dean remembers that monster of the week very well, because he was supposed to stop it many years ago when it was after his brother while he was asleep, but obviously he failed and the monster is back, back to feed on children more of course and not to collect money for the Red Cross.

Now Dean has even an extra motive to get rid of this witch once and for all, because he isn't about to make the same mistake twice and let it slip away from his fingers once again. Investigation of this case in this episode is good, acting is well done, everything is pretty much on its place, good overall episode that is definitely in the better half of episodes of this season.
