Ep 4. Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things

In Supernatural season 2 episode 4, "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things," Sam and Dean investigate a case of a resurrected young woman named Angela Mason. Angela's friends, who are part of a university drama group, resurrected her after her untimely death using a spell from a book. However, her return from the dead is not as miraculous as her friends had hoped.

Sam and Dean first learn of Angela's resurrection when her friends bring them to her gravesite, expecting them to congratulate them on their success. However, they soon realize that something is off with Angela. She is behaving erratically and seems to have lost her humanity. When they investigate further, they find out that Angela has been visiting the graves of her loved ones and bringing them back to life, but each one has come back changed and violent.

As the episode progresses, Sam and Dean work to stop Angela before she can resurrect any more of the dead. Along the way, they encounter a number of obstacles, including Angela's friends, who are fiercely protective of her, and a group of spirits who are attracted to the chaos that her resurrection has caused.

One of the main themes of this episode is death and the consequences of trying to cheat it. Angela's friends believed they were doing the right thing by resurrecting her, but in doing so, they set off a chain reaction of events that they couldn't control. As Sam and Dean investigate, they grapple with questions about the morality of resurrection and the role that death plays in the natural order of things.

Another key theme of this episode is loss and grief. Angela's friends were unable to cope with her death and saw resurrection as a way to bring her back into their lives. However, they failed to consider the toll that her resurrection would take on her and on those around her.

Overall, "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" is a tense and thought-provoking episode that explores some of the darker aspects of the Supernatural universe. The episode's mix of horror and emotional depth makes it a standout installment in an already impressive second season.
