Synopsis

Dean: Spending a lifetime of hunting monsters takes its toll. There comes the time when you gotta let out that pain inside you. If you don't, it'll eat you alive.

Winchesters Garage
Mary and John are working on an old motorbike, which Millie had given John's dad Henry just before he disappeared. Mary knows a bit about mechanics, and John suggests that when she leaves hunting she could work in Millie's garage. Mary says thought that there's too much history for her in Lawrence, and she thinks she will leave town. Millie asks John how he is, concerned after his breakdown following th ecase at the VA Hospital. He reassures her he's fine. She notes the chemistry he has with Mary, but John admits he doesn't know how Mary feels about him.

Men of Letters Clubhouse
Latika has found a potential case - a councilman whose brain was turned to mush inside his skull. Carlos argues

Quotes

Carlos: Okay, a fancy councilman with a mushy brain is tempting, but the demon Ada and I trapped in a bonsai tree said the Akrida have a leader running around in a human body. Seems like we should maybe find that person before they, you know, destroy the world.
John: Hey, what's a djinn?
Carlos: They attack a person in their subconscious and feed off their mental energy, usually till the person slips into a coma and dies. It's sort of like a brain vampire.
John: I just stopped at Harper's. Figured I'd get you something too. French dip sandwich... Extra au jus.
Latika: EMTs found three splinter-like objects near the body. It's just a theory, but these stingers could have been implanted by the Akrida, allowing them to take control of the human host. The toxicology report confirms an unknown substance was found in the councilman's brain.
Ada: One thing you learn about plants, you can never treat any of the two the same. They each need their own perfect amount of light and water in order to grow.
Ada: I followed my heart. I don't think that's ever a mistake.

Mary: Even if you're scared?

Ada: Especially then. It's just part of falling in love.
Tony: Our nightmares are rooted in trauma. They take shape in our darkest memories. Mine... mine are about turning into my dad.

Trivia & References

"Legend of a Mind" is a song by The Moody Blues from their 1968 album, In Search of a Lost Chord.
Carlos: I'm sorry, maybe it's just the DMT talking from this past weekend, but did I just hear you say that A - you're a mom, and B - the monster we're hunting is your son?
DMT is a psychoactive drug made from animals or plants that causes hallucinations.
Mary: You said that you were afraid of the monster under your bed and your parents told you not to worry... Well, my parents told me that the monsters I was afraid of were real. And that one day it would be my job to hunt them down and kill them. And this was the night they told me that.
This recalls Sam's lines from the Supernatural pilot:
"When I told Dad I was scared of the thing in my closet, he gave me a .45."
Mary: Mom and Dad told me not to be scared, but I am scared. It's okay to be scared. In fact, it's good to be scared. You can't be brave if you're never scared. It's gonna be okay. Not in this moment; not today. But someday. I'm gonna find a way to open all the doors that were closed for you. I promise.
