Sam and Dean investigate Bobby's home town where the dead are rising from the grave but instead of attacking humans, they are happily reuniting with their families. The brothers turn to Bobby for help but he tells them not to worry about it and to leave town. Suspicious, Dean investigates and comes face to face with Bobby's dead wife who has no memory of what happened to her. Once the zombies start turning evil, the boys tell Bobby he has to kill his wife but he refuses.

Left 4 Dead

One good episode in a long time! Not making fun of the series anymore...

Yeah, there is romance, there's love, there's a lot of shooting, but there's one thing: a lot of scenes like those from the game left 4 dead, it seems that Ben Edlund is a fan of the game...

Little of that good old "Dean-ish" humour with lines like: "Great, another horseman. Must be Thursday." got me to rate this episode a 7.

I hope they'll end this season by summer 'cuz I'm tired of waiting, seeing 3 more episodes and then another break...

Not the best supernatural episode, but it's worth watching it :)
