It is nice every now and then to have a Supernatural that lacks the eeewww factor. It was fun to have an episode that was supernatural without gorey.
The old saying "be careful what you wish for" played the part in this episode. After Sam and Dean hear about a ghost sighting, they look into it. After interviewing the very attractive "haunted", who by the way was in the girl's locker room when this all happened, they are pretty convinced that it is not a ghost.

It is nice every now and then to have a Supernatural that lacks the eeewww factor. It was fun to have an episode that was supernatural without gorey.
The old saying "be careful what you wish for" played the part in this episode. After Sam and Dean hear about a ghost sighting, they look into it. After interviewing the very attractive "haunted", who by the way was in the girl's locker room when this all happened, they are pretty convinced that it is not a ghost. Especially after she tells them that the "ghost" knocked her down, helped her up and told her not to tell his mom. Hmmmm. As they leave, they notice an unusual couple with an nerdy guys and a very attractive girl with a little too much PDA. Outside, they hear a hunter talking about a Bigfoot sighting. Sam and Dean intervene with the witness and the Sheriff to ask questions. He swears he saw big foot and can tell Sam and Dean exactly where.
AS they walk, Sam and Dean laugh that the whole town is going crazy. Or maybe they put LSD in the water. However, unless Sam and Dean have been drinking the crazy Kool-Aid too, they are pretty sure they see "Bigfoot" tracks. To find out if there really is such a thing as Bigfoot, they follow the tracks to a liquor store. Yep, old Bigfoot has an affinity for alcohol and porn. AS they leave, they see a little girl ride by on her bicycle with alcohol and porn in the back. As one of the magazines falls out of her basket, Dean picks it up in delight to see that it is Busty Asian Beauties. "See looks a little young for Busty Asian Beauties," Dean comments to Sam. Something is up as they see her leave the porn and alcohol at the store with a note that says "sorry" on it.
Knowing that the little girl has something to do with the “Bigfoot” sighting, Sam and Dean follow her home. They ask the little girl if she has seen Bigfoot. She says that she thinks her teddy bears is sick and they tell her that they are teddy bear doctors. She takes them upstairs to reveal a man size, alive teddy bear doing I don’t want to know when she opens the door. He yells at her to shut the door as Sam and Dean’s eye’s practically pop out of their heads. She tells them that she wished for a life size teddy bear in the wishing well, but now he complains a lot and smells. Wishing well, huh? She tells them it is at the Chinese food restaurant.
Sam and Dean head to the restaurant. Dean makes a wish, but doesn’t tell Sam what it is. All of a sudden, a large sandwich arrives at the table. I guess we know that wish now. They notice the same couple making out again, and figure he made a wish too. In order to inspect the wishing well, they identify themselves as health department inspectors and explain that the restaurant need to close because of a rat infestation. They look at the well and see nothing unusual at first. Then they find an old coin. Dean cannot remove the coin regardless of what he does. They take a rubbing of the coin to investigate and Sam takes off on a hunch. Dean heads back to the motel.
Sam heads to the health club and discovers the “ghost” is actually a boy who wished to be invisible to spy on girls. AS Dean leaves the restaurant, he sees a little boy chasing three other boys who were screaming. He stops and looks at Dean and asks what he is looking at. When Dean arrives back at the motel, he gets sick from the sandwich he ate. Sam comes back and Dean explains the only one who can remove the coin is the first wisher, but who is that? Dean picks up the paper and sees the PDA couple in the newspaper in the engagement announcements. They figure out that he must be the first wisher. They go to his house to explain the situation and tell Wes he has to reverse the wishes. He is very reluctant because he knows when he does, he will lose his girl. This whole time, she is listening in on the conversation and does not look happy. Wes finally decides to remove the coin, so the three of them head to the wishing well.
As Sam and Wes go into the restaurant as Dean tries to help a situation with the kids. As Sam gets close, lightning strikes him dead. Wes looks confused and goes inside to find his “love” standing next to the wishing well. She explains that she didn’t want Sam to come between them. Wes knows the right thing to do, and it is a good thing because while this is all going on, Dean in getting his butt kicked by the little kid with super strength. When the coin is removed, everything goes back to the way it was before. Except for the teddy bear with a hole in his head from where he tried shooting himself when he was alive.
Dean finally admits to Sam that he remembers everything about Hell, but won’t tell him anything. I Loved this episode because it is the first time we have had a light hearted episode this season. They have all been so intense up to this point. I give it a 10!
