May is Mental Health Awareness month, so Clare and Beau take the time to talk about SPN's total failure to approach mental health in any positive way, including addiction, suicide, and isolation. But on a lighter note, Castiel is autistic and has a special interest in bees and we love him so much!

Continuing from last week's meltdown, Clare and Beau dive deeper into the 2ft kiddie pool that is Supernatural's vampire lore. Vampires of note are the Alpha vampire, Benny Lafitte, and The Old Man, who is definitely going to make his old-money dad sue us for bullying him.
