A shapeshifter. A bank robbery. A conspiracy theorist who is WAY more correct than anybody wants him to be.
In this episode of WHAT IN THE HELL IS SUPERNATURAL?, we're talking about Supernatural Season 2, Episode 12 — “Nightshifter,” where Sam and Dean investigate a string of robberies that appear to involve employees suddenly turning violent, stealing huge amounts of money, and then having absolutely no memory of doing it.
Naturally, the answer is a shapeshifter.
Unfortunately, the Winchester brothers are not the only ones investigating.
Enter Ronald Reznick, a man who has connected enough dots to realize something deeply weird is happening, even if his explanation involves something he calls a “mandroid.”
And honestly?
Ronald might be one of the most relatable people in this entire series.
We break down the shapeshifter case, the bank siege, Sam and Dean's increasingly impressive ability to make themselves look like dangerous criminals, and one of the best examples so far of Supernatural combining horror, comedy, action, and genuine tragedy into a single episode.
We'll also get into some real-world lore and history behind shapeshifters, doubles, impostors, and the long-running fear that the person standing in front of you might not actually be who they appear to be.
Plus, the important questions:
How long does it take before “paranormal investigator” becomes “federal fugitive”?
Was Ronald actually crazy, or was he simply using the wrong vocabulary?
And how many crimes can Sam and Dean commit before somebody finally asks whether maybe the FBI has a point?

If somebody at work suddenly starts acting completely different, steals a bunch of money, and begins shedding their skin…
maybe call in sick.
