I think it was a combination of the siblings being different sexes...
I think this is the second time this season (and the second time overall) that they've gone with different sexed siblings for the sibling parallel. I forget the first... no, wait, if you think that God&Amara is a parallel too, then that's your first instance.
So, it COULD be that this example is not a parallel for the Winchesters, who are same sexed, but rather a parallel for God&Amara, who are brother and sister! That's also a very intersting way to think about the scene. We may find that this season over all focuses on brother-sister relationships rather than brotherhood relationships.
And it was just fun to see the boys HAVE a friend/ally in the world! I don't know if there is a parallel episode where Jody is just there to be a friend without doing anything special to solve a case?
I guess Jody's first episode was a little like that... and I guess the episode where she accidentally spills borax COULD count? I mean, the fact that she decides to clean the floor is what causes the crucial information to be discovered, but it's not an ACTIVE role in the solution. I don't know. I agree though that just having Donna there is great and she doesn't need to be the hero every time.
If it had been a stranger cop helping them, would we have even gotten the scenes about what happens to the girl who was the jester or the old man clown? And the sadness of the death of the rabbit head kid? Or would they have just been written off as collateral damage?
Another good point. Because of Donna's demeanor and personality, she can really drive home this year's theme of respecting human life and recognizing the loss of it as tragedy.
I wonder if Donna told Doug the truth about what was going on at the end? So another law officer knows about what's really out there? And they could be their own hunter team?
That'd be great! I think she would have had to have told him SOMETHING in order to get his help in, basically, destroying evidence. It'd be nice if he was no also in the know and that they could be hunter/cops together!
...and now I'm scared for Sam! Thanks a lot! Just what I need, more anxiety about what the boys are going to do now, as if Dean's bond to Amara wasn't enough to worry me!
Haha, sorry! But yeah, as much as it sort of felt like it was just a continuation of their Bunker conversation that had gotten interrupted by Donna's phone call and the case... I think there was a reason Sam didn't bring it back up until after the clown incident. I think Sam recognized that what he was feeling was terror, and yeah... he was finally at a place where he could admit that.
