Lizzie Borden's home has become the place for a series of murders that Sam and Dean are investigating. After a little girl was witnessed to be at the scene, there's a possibility Amara might have been involved. Was she? Read on to learn what went down. Warning: Contains Spoilers.
Lizzie Borden was a woman who was tried and acquitted for the axe murders of her stepmother and father in 1892. Now, a couple had been murdered in the exact same style in her room of the museum and B&B. Sounds like a case of some ghosts. The boys are going old school with their EMF tracker around the house. Sam and Dean are doing some exploring on their own, and while Sam's getting some intense EMF signals from the door marked "Staff Only," Dean's experiencing some flickering lights. Normal ghost stuff, yet it wasn't. All of the ghost signals are staged. Sound systems in the wall, homemade EMF generator, and a timer that sets the lights to flicker. Not so spooky after all.
There's still something going on in that house, ghost or no ghost. People are still get murdered by an axe. The murders aren't just happening at the B&B/museum. It happened for a third time away from the home and at a different house where a husband was killed. While Dean's exploring a Lizzie Borden super-fan's house (the guy knows everything), he comes across a drawing of the Mark of Cain. The reason he has it? Len ran into Amara when he was at the house one night, she fed off him, and Dean now learns that she's around the age of 12. He no longer has any feeling towards what he used to love. Now, the super-fan is looking for Amara so she can fix him. He feels as if his life is robotic, puppet-like. That's because he's soulless.
Dean's sick of Len going on and on about the things he used to like and no longer cares about, or how it feels as though something dark is growing inside him, and he very bluntly tells him that he has no soul and the chances of him getting it back are very slim. But hey, it shut the guy up.
Sam thought it was the wife who killed her husband after having her soul sucked out of her, but Sydney, the babysitter, is actually the soulless murderer. She gets both of the brothers tied up
and now she's using them as an offering to Amara. Amara took Sydney's soul outside of a club she was at that night. She's in complete bliss because the painful memories of her parents' abuse doesn't bother her anymore. No more nightmares. Dean continues to ask her questions about her life, as does Sam, while he unties the ropes around his wrist.
Sam escapes, and Sydney attempts to shoot him, but misses. And she ends up with an axe in her back from Len. Before she dies, she repeats that same line we've been hearing multiple people say, "The Darkness is coming." Only this time, she adds, "It's so peaceful," because Amara has taken away all of her pain.
Len wants Dean to kill him because if he doesn't, he knows there will be another kill. And when Dean refuses, Len decides to turn himself in and confess to all the murders so he can't hurt anyone else. He remembers what it was like to do the right thing, so it's all about acting through the motions for him. Each person has acted differently when they've lost their souls. Len was freaked out, Sydney couldn't get enough of her. The only way to find her is from the trail of bodies she leaves.

Overall, I enjoyed the episode, but I liked it more towards the beginning than I did at the end. I think it had to do with the suspense built by the idea of ghosts. Although we've seen them plenty of times on the show, Supernatural also pulls off ghosts so well. Amara's involvement was needed to progress the Darkness story, so it makes sense, and in a way, made the episode have a twist. "Bye Dean, I'll see you soon." Which means we should be getting an interaction between the two soon, and hopefully that connection is seen more, since we've only heard of it from the memories Dean has. Amara's grown more next week, and Metatron is back, so we'll see what he has to say about the Darkness then.
