Sneak Peeks At Two Episodes Of Supernatural

 

After a so-so season premiere, Supernatural looks as if it’s returning to form this week with “Two and a Half Men,” which finds grandpa Samuel Campbell creating a rift between the recently reunited Winchester brothers (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki).

Here’s the official description for “Two and a Half Men,” which airs Friday at 9 p.m. EST/PST:

Sam (Jared Padalecki) investigates a case about missing babies whose parents are being murdered. At one of the crime scenes, he discovers a baby that was left behind and calls Dean (Jensen Ackles) for help. Reluctant to leave Lisa (guest star Cindy Sampson) and Ben (guest star Nicholas Elia), Dean finally agrees to meet Sam and surprises his brother with how parental he has become.

The brothers take the baby to Samuel (Mitch Pileggi), who decides to raise it as a hunter, which infuriates Dean. However, before they can decide the baby’s future, a shape-shifter breaks in and attempts to kidnap the baby.

Here’s the preview, courtesy of The CW, which does a nice job of setting up the episode:

If that’s not enough Supernatural for you, the network also has released photos from the eagerly anticipated Oct. 15 episode, “Weekend at Bobby’s,” which not only addresses a dangling thread from Season 5 — the “pawning” of Bobby’s soul to the demon Crowley — but marks the directorial debut of star Jensen Ackles. It also features the return of Steven Williams as Rufus Turner, the Johnny Walker-drinking hunter who came out of retirement during the Apocalypse.

Here’s that episode’s description:

After Bobby (Jim Beaver) discovers Crowley (Mark Sheppard) has no intentions of returning Bobby’s soul, the hunter takes matters into his own hands. He calls on Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) for help after he unearths one of Crowley’s deepest secrets. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean learn what Bobby does all day when they are not around.

A Bobby-focused episode, with Crowley, no less? There’s virtually no way “Weekend at Bobby’s” won’t be great.
