Tonight’s Supernatural is all new, with a very special episode. Its special because Castiel actor Misha Collins is directing the new episode. However, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles threw a few pranks and pies his way.
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode, titled “Mother's Little Helper,” reads:
“Sam visits a town where ordinary people are turning into violent murderers. His investigation reveals that the Men of Letters came to the town in 1958. Meanwhile, Dean struggles with effects from the Mark of Cain and is tested by Crowley.”
For tonight’s episode, everyone’s favorite angel Castiel, A.K.A. Misha Collins, stepped behind the camera to direct the new episode. Collins recently opened up to TV Line about making the shift:
“I learned a lot. I learned that when they go location scouting, the key department heads know really good restaurants and they get really good lunches. That was an eye-opener. It was interesting seeing everything from a different perspective because you sit on set for so many hours as an actor. By virtue of being there and logging such long hours, you really know what’s going on. But when you change chairs and look at the job from another vantage point, you see all kinds of things. You see what a pain in the ass it is to deal with actors. You watch the clock like a hawk. You just want more time, all day long, and you don’t get it. It’s very cool. It’s a very engaged position. You really have to be paying attention all the time, which I enjoyed.”
He also went on to add that his co-stars, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, didn’t make the switch too easy on him:
“I was also dealing with Jared and Jensen as the primary characters. That brought with it its own set of particular challenges. They were constantly pranking me, throwing pies at my face and that sort of thing, which gave me a whole second set of things to be worrying about in any given moment. But all in all, it was a remarkably good experience. The boys were so excited to, for example, throw pies in my face, that the time in between [pranks], they actually did their jobs very well--because they were trying to get me off guard. So it actually ended up working out pretty well.”
Collins will also be live tweeting both the east and west coast showings of tonight’s new episode.
