Meet Samuel Colt

Dean and Sam learn in Samuel Colt's diary that ashes of a Phoenix may defeat Eve and they summon Castiel to send them back to 1861, to Sunrise, Wyoming, where they can meet Samuel Colt and get the ashes. Casteil gives twenty-four hours to the brothers to get what they want; otherwise their return may be dangerous. Will the brothers be well succeeded in their intent?

"Frontierland" is another witty episode of "Supernatural", this time with a joke with Clint Eastwood and a conclusion à la "Back to the Future 3". My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Terra da Fronteira" ("Frontierland")
