A filler, but solid, episode of Supernatural allows the boys to move forward.
Here’s our review…
This review contains Supernatural spoilers.
Hell hath no fury like a 16thCentury woman scorned.
Sam and Dean investigate some random suicides and a murder that are all tied to one particular Catholic Church.
Its a typical haunting/possession with a twist.
The reasons the Grand Coven kicked her out started as sympathetic on Rowenas side.
She had fallen in love with a mortal and had his child.
We feel for her and her personal life.
These flashbacks are detailed accounts of a murderess that we dont often see onSupernatural.
We get to see how Isabella became this vengeful spirit, and we feel for her.
Until she totally overreacts to being friend-zoned by Piero, that is.
Girl, there are other painters in Florence.

Theres two clever deceptions done in the Isabella/Mathias scenes.
Deans confessional was enlightening.
At first he began telling the priest how hes always leading women on, and mentions a Gina.
Its clear hes not being repentant and the priest seems eager to push him on his way.
But then Dean gets a chance to speak from the heart.
The ghost effects were really good this episode.
I like the demon-like ghost vapor that targets the ones Isabella finds guilty.
We even get to see through her eyes in gauzy, floating point-of-view shots.
The flickering, rapid fire way that she possesses Sister Mathias and attacks Dean was entertaining.
Not a bad job, and a good filler episode that allows the boys to move forward.
Next episode we get to see Bobby again!
And possibly Metatron too.
