Honestly, I don't know quite what to make of this episode. It seemed based on something straight out of the pages of a book like 'Creatures of the Magical Kingdom' from the curriculum of Hogwarts. What's next? Pixies? Unicorns? giant man-eating Slugs?
And the biology, or the lack of the same, was completely baffling. The Bisaans do not seem to have any reproductive organs, hence their need for the human bodies to bring about the next generation. But then there are eggs (how?), so whatever emerges from these eggs has bodies. How then are they able to possess humans? Why do the hosts die when the eggs are laid? None of these questions were answered. I guess the writers wanted some breathing room while they tried to figure out what to do with Amara, Lucifer and God. I don't mind the cases - even for the rest of the season. I would be glad not to have to lay my eyes upon either Amara or Lucifer. But hey, you gotta make them cases more interesting, and not something that feels like re-heated versions of dinner leftovers. It would have been nice to see Jessy and Cesar team up with Sam and Dean on future hunting trips. They have been going at it by themselves since Bobby, Kevin and Charlie bid adieu. Alas! That was not to be.
BTW, I hope the Winchesters have added information about these Chitters to the Lore so that the next generation of hunters, if there is one, doesn't have to reinvent the wheel.
