This episode provides an excellent mix of 'Monster of the Week' style and story arc continuation. The majority of the episode centres around parodies of other famous TV shows, the highlights being Grey's Anatomy (Ellen Piccolo, Dr Wang!) and CSI. Other particularly amusing TV sketches are the 'Nutcracker' game and Herpexia advert - "I've got genital herpes"!
This is an excellent episode of Supernatural and, whilst it isn't my all-time favourite, it just inches ahead of the rest for being the funniest. (For other amusing episodes see 'Yellow Fever' and 'Ghostfacers', amongst others).
And yet, aside from the amusement there is a brilliant development to the Angel/Lucifer story arc. The Trickster was always the monster that got away and we finally get to see why. Given that I always loved the Trickster, I was very happy to find out he is one of the decent angels, the angel Gabriel. It all fit in very nicely with where the story is going at this point and ties up very well with another exceptionally funny episode, 'Hammer of the Gods'.
Fans of Supernatatural will love it. If you're a fan of Grey's or CSI and have a sense of humour, you'll love it too!
