‘Supernatural’ season 9, episode 13 preview: Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki in a weight-loss world

While we felt like tonight’s “Supernatural” season 9 episode was at times a little bit of a letdown, it looks in some ways like next week’s “The Purge” is going to be more than a little bit exciting. There’s going to be an undercover mission (always fun), and there are also opportunities opportunities to see Sam and Dean sport some interesting choices in fashion. Anytime that you get Jared Padalecki in some workout shorts and Jensen Ackles and a hairnet, that is what we like to consider a sort of personal victory.

The entire theme of this episode is fitness; or rather, a fitness center that seems to be sapping the weight straight out of people in a way that would even horrify “The Biggest Loser.” Just take a look at the synopsis below:

“(Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate recent murders where the victims were hundreds of pounds lighter after their deaths.  Suspecting witches, the two go undercover at a fancy day spa that all of the victims had attended for weight loss.  While Sam is hired as a fitness instructor, Dean takes kitchen duty.  After Dean swipes some tainted food and passes out, the guys realize someone is drugging the guests and literally sucking all of the fat out of them until they die.”

This doesn’t really look like an episode that has much to do with anything, but it looks hilarious. We always dig a funny episode around this time of the year; the quickest comparison to us to make here is between these one and “LARP and the Real Girl,” mostly because they both put the boys out of their element, and then forced them to go undercover to an extent to try to solve a case. We’re excited, and we’ll likely stay that way until next week.
