After It Airs (SPN 10/14)

Supernatural
Season 7 Episode 4 -  Defending Your Life

Summary (courtesy of The CW Network):
Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate a string of gruesome murders and discover the Egyptian god Osiris (guest star Faran Tahir) is behind the deaths. The vengeful god is putting people on trial for their past mistakes and killing them if found guilty. Osiris hones in on Dean's guilt and decides he's the next to stand trial. Sam steps in as Dean's lawyer, but both brothers are unprepared when Osiris calls an unexpected witness – Jo (guest star Alona Tal). Robert Singer directed the episode written by Adam Glass.

My Side Note:
Can I just say that I liked this episode overall, even if it did seem like Dean got off kind of easy at the end. Though the comedic episodes are my absolute fave, I do like the serious episodes too. 'I mean the best parts are when the cry.' And for realz, those flashbacks killed me. I got tears every time on popped up. Especially the old scenes between Dean and Jo. It just makes me think how long I've been with this show. I've basically grown up with this show (at least through my high school and college life) and have loved every minute of it. I don't know what I will do when my boys aren't on TV anymore. Thank God for DVD boxed sets. But enough of that terrible talk...moving on. Can I just say that I love how much they incorporate Michigan on this show! Having been born and raised in Michigan, I love the love this state gets. This episode was set in Dearborn, Michigan, other Michigan mentions include Saginaw, Lansing, East Lansing, Michigan State University, Ypsilanti, maybe others but that's what I could recall. Makes me love this show even more, as a Michigan State University graduate ;)
