Apparently regular ghosts weren’t horrifying enough, so Supernatural decided to bring in America’s first celebrity serial killer.
This week on WHAT IN THE HELL IS SUPERNATURAL, we’re talking about Season 2, Episode 6 — “No Exit,” where Sam and Dean discover that Jo Harvelle has decided she wants to become a hunter.
Dean responds to this development with roughly the enthusiasm of a man discovering someone has handed a loaded flamethrower to his little sister.
Jo follows the Winchesters to Philadelphia, where young women have been mysteriously disappearing from an apartment building.
And unfortunately, the thing haunting the place isn’t just some anonymous angry spirit.
It’s H. H. Holmes.
Yes.
THAT H. H. Holmes.
One of the most infamous murderers in American history has apparently decided that dying should not interfere with his hobbies.
In this episode:
🏚️ Sam and Dean investigate an apartment building where women are disappearing under extremely creepy circumstances.
👱♀️ Jo Harvelle officially throws herself into the hunting business whether Dean likes it or not.
🧱 We discover that the walls contain secret passageways, hidden chambers, and approximately seventeen different violations of the Philadelphia building code.
🔪 The ghost of H. H. Holmes proves that apparently being dead does absolutely nothing to improve your personality.
📜 We dig into the REAL history of Holmes, separate some of the documented facts from the sensational legends, and talk about how one murderer became one of America’s most enduring true-crime boogeymen.
😬 Dean spends most of the episode desperately trying to keep Jo safe while simultaneously refusing to explain why he feels responsible for doing so.
💔 And we finally learn more about the connection between John Winchester and Jo’s father, Bill Harvelle, which makes the Winchester-Harvelle relationship considerably more complicated.
“No Exit” is one of those episodes where Supernatural blends genuine American history with its own mythology — taking a real murderer, turning him into a ghost, and then sticking Dean Winchester inside the walls with him.
Because apparently Dean did not already have enough trauma.
Join me as we revisit “No Exit,” talk about Jo Harvelle, H. H. Holmes, the real history behind the episode, Dean’s gigantic pile of unresolved guilt, and all the wonderfully dysfunctional Winchester nonsense along the way.
And remember:
If the walls of your apartment start breathing, DO NOT call the landlord.
MOVE.
