this isn not a terrible episode and but i think it be a particularly generic and boring entry in the series . dean and sam come across a strange death in oklahoma and concern a construction worker who be find minus a brain . doctor shrug it off a mad cow disease and though the brother decide to do a little more thorough investigation around a new housing development where it seem insect be act slightly odd . another resident of the community be find mysteriously dead among a cluster of spider and with the help of a 16 year old kid and they realize the area hold an ancient and native american curse . aside from some significant progression in the two main character and where sam express some past conflict with their father and bug be a rather weak episode with not nearly enough focus on the revealed swarm see at the end . it be resolve quite ineffectively and the vague emphasis on the source of the plague seem forced and dull . pretty mediocre installment in the show .
