Supernatural season 10, episode 11, “There’s No Place Like Home,” aired tonight. Read our recap and discuss the episode with fellow fans.
Return from Oz
While searching for clues on dealing with the Mark of Cain, Sam comes across a video of Charlie, apparently back from Oz, assaulting a lawyer. The lawyer wasn’t her first victim, either. Assuming she’s hunting, the brothers head out and talk to the victims, only to discover that Charlie is going after people involved in the death of her parents.
They follow the trail to the next victim and stake out her house until they hear screams. Inside, they find Charlie with a blade at the woman’s throat.
Charlie says some nasty things, throws the woman at Sam, and runs. Dean chases her, but she knocks him down and gets a head start — enough time to slash a tire on the Impala. True evil. As Charlie drives away, another car pulls up… with Charlie inside?

According to Charlie, Dorothy’s side was losing the war for the Emerald City, so Charlie made a deal with the Wizard of Oz. She ended up split into a good Charlie and a dark Charlie. Dark Charlie essentially won the war single-handededly and then returned to Earth, breaking the key to Oz in the process.
Because the two Charlies are physically linked, good Charlie has been keeping an eye on her darker half. She hopes to corral her and lock her up, though the Winchesters — in a blatantly obvious parallel to Dean’s situation — tell her that’s not an option because both sides are part of her.
Sam and Charlie follow a money trail dark Charlie attacked her latest victim to get — payouts that covered up the identity of the drunk driver who killed Charlie’s parents: a rich real estate mogul. (Did we mention Charlie’s real name is Celeste?)
A life ruined
Dean heads off to keep an eye on the mogul while Sam and Charlie head back to the bunker to see if the Men of Letters have any information on repairing the key to Oz. At the bunker, Sam and Charlie discover that the last remaining survivor of the Men of Letters with Oz involvement is still alive so head to his house.
Meanwhile, Dean is at the mogul’s office when the lights go out and dark Charlie appears.

Dean confronts her, and she says that she just wants to talk to the man before turning him over to the police, so Dean lets her go in — which, as expected, is a terrible idea because dark Charlie guilts an apology out of the man and then kills him before fleeing.
Later, Dark Charlie finds Dean at a bar, where he’s drinking his frustrations away, and she taunts him a bit before tricking Dean into telling her what the plan is to get back to Oz. She steals the Impala (seriously evil) and leaves.
Summoned from Oz
Sam and Charlie, meanwhile, find their Men of Letters survivor. He tells them the key to Oz can’t be repaired on Earth, and since the only way to reunite the two sides of Charlie is in Oz, Charlie is stuck. Their survivor, it turns out, had the same thing done to him, and his dark half became the Wizard of Oz. Ready to make amends, he offers to mortally wound himself to summon his dark half.
Dean arrives at the house, followed by dark Charlie. Dean hears a gunshot — the Man of Letters shot himself and his dark half appears in a flash of green light. Outside, Dean and dark Charlie get into a fight and each blow to dark Charlie hurts the Charlie in the house.
The Wizard binds Sam’s arms and legs and begins to strangle him with magic, which forces Charlie to do the unthinkable — to kill the Wizard’s good half so the Wizard would also die.
You’re a Winchester
Sam brings the injured Charlie outside and lays her side-by-side with dark Charlie, who Dean has beaten. Cue some Oz magic and cool special effects, and Charlie reabsorbs her darkness. Sam comforts her as Dean, shaken, looks on.
Two days later, Charlie has recovered enough to hit the road again. She volunteers to look for a book Sam thinks might have a lead on the Mark of Cain in it and says that she’ll keep digging if needed. And when Dean tells her he’s sorry, she tells him to prove it. She also tells him he has something working in his favor that Cain didn’t:
