Storyline

Sheriff Jody Mill calls Dean and Sam to tell them about strange cases of mummified victims in Canon, Ohio, and the Winchester brothers head to the town to interview a disbelieved witness. The teenager tells that he saw a man wearing overcoat and hat bend over his neighbor in an alley and turning him into a mummy.

They stalk him and when Mr. Snider is attacking another victim, Dean jumps over him and they vanish in a red light. Dean is sent back to 1944 and is arrested by the police, but Eliot Ness releases and teams-up with Dean to chase Mr. Snider, who is actually Chronus, the Time God. Meanwhile Sam and Jody are trying to find a means to bring Dean back to 2012.

The Chicago Way

Sheriff Jody Mill calls Dean and Sam to tell them about strange cases of mummified victims in Canon, Ohio, and the Winchester brothers head to the town to interview a disbelieved witness. The teenager tells that he saw a man wearing overcoat and hat bend over his neighbor in an alley and turning him into a mummy.

Dean and Sam investigate further and discover the stranger's name, Mr. Snider, and where he lives. They stalk him and when Mr. Snider is attacking another victim, Dean jumps over him and they vanish in a red light.

Dean is sent back to 1944 and is arrested by the police, but Eliot Ness releases and teams-up with Dean to chase Mr. Snider, who is actually Chronus, the Time God. Meanwhile Sam and Jody are trying to find a means to bring Dean back to 2012.

"Time after Time" is one of the best episodes of Supernatural and maybe the best in this Seventh Season. The plot entwines adventures with humor, with great lines. Dean worshiping Eliot Ness, telling that he watched fifty times "The Untouchables" by Brian De Palma and interrogating the crook in the Chicago way is among the wittiest lines in this series. It would be good if the beautiful Sheriff Jody Mill teams-up with Dean and Sam, after the loss of Bobby. My vote is nine.
