Supernatural squee...
This week's episode was awesome. The season so far just continues to deliver great stuff.
First, the zombie plot may have been more solid than outstanding, but I like zombies on principle, and I thought it was fun that there was too many legends and references for them, so that Sam and Dean couldn't tell what would work from those. Apparently the real deal must be much rarer than the fiction, otherwise John sure would have run into one before, and they'd know what works and what doesn't from his work. Still, zombies!
I was surprised that Mary's headstone was put up by an uncle, but that scene with Sam and Dean where Dean isn't interested in an empty grave, that doesn't even have bones, I could totally see that. BTW, Sam burying John dog tags there reminded me how strange I found it that Sam and Dean could just take their father's corpse somewhere to burn it themselves. I mean, it may be just that the US is really much more liberal with regulations for dealing with human remains, but I'm pretty sure here not even family could just take a body to burn it themselves just somewhere in the landscape like they did.
Dean being so uncomfortable with Angela's crying roommate was fun to watch (his face when he hands over the kleenex! also, Dean, you are really much better at killing things than at lying) but that pales compared to the awesomeness of the next scene when Dean comes in while Sam was watching porn (Sam, watching the "Skin Channel" in their motel room! *hearts*), and then Dean's "Awkward." And then Dean is all smug and sarcastic, because there is a case after all. And he stole her diary! Heh.
Then Sam and Dean are the most unconvincing grief counselors ever, though I suspect Sam could have pulled it off. I loved how disgusted Sam is by the prospect to have to dig out a fresh body rather than bones.
I really understood why Sam was worried and scared after Dean tore into the poor father of the girl. Dean really was quite scary here.
Then "Neil! It's your grief counselors. We've come to hug!" when they break into Neil's house. Oh Dean! That was a great line, And then the porn references. *g* In general I really liked funny lines in this episode.
The effect of Sam shooting zombie!Angela in the head after barely hesitating when she tried to plead and trick him was great, especially after last week's ep with the humanized monsters.
And the last scene truly sucker-punched me. I thought Dean would turn back after all to go to Mary's grave or something, and then he instead he stops and explains to Sam that he things he should have died and stayed dead, because he inferred the demon deal. Dean's guilt, and Sam's helplessness, and... *flail!* I really didn't expect the show to go there so explicitly. What a heartbreaking scene.

no subject
The US tends to be not at all liberal about the disposition of remains, *but* that's all regulated at the state and local level. So if the funeral industry in a particular state hasn't bothered to lobby for something, and no one's tried to do something outlandish before, there may not be any laws to prevent it. (I recall reading about some guy who pulled up to the hospital with a station wagon, to haul off the body of a relative. There wasn't any law against it, so they had to let him take it. That particular state now has a law to prevent that from happening again.)
Regardless, I assume that the boys either bribed a shady funeral director ("we'll pay you for a basic cremation, you slip dad's body out the back door") or they simply stole the body from either the morgue or the funeral home. Since they probably don't have any money, I'm guessing it was the latter.
"Neil! It's your grief counselors. We've come to hug!"
lol! I loved that line.
