I'm blaming this on the high fever, the medication, and Kripke being a giant spoiler-volcano in interviews.
At the vague suggestion of
spndpfrdcrck... "What are the chances of a Supernatural musical episode?"
[WARNING; May contain small referential spoilers for all episodes aired in North America (up to and including 3.12), and complete detailed plot and casting spoilers for an episode guaranteed to never ever ever exist. Also spoilers for.... something else, but really, it's been available to the world since the late 1800's. And I haven't actually seen it anyways, just a cracky 1980's adaptation of it.]
Right. Where was I then? Oh yes.
Plot summary of the never-to-be-aired episode:
"Pirates of the Backroads of Middle America"
One day the Trickster gets bored and decides to teach a town that's outlawed dancing in the streets what they're missing by forcing them to enact the Pirates of Penzance. Over and over and over... because as we've seen with the probing in "Tall Tales" and the everything in "Mystery Spot", the Trickster seems to looooove repetition.
The problem is the Trickster underestimated the mystic power of Gilbert and Sullivan and the effect spreads much farther than the Trickster ever intended, the original townsfolk having danced themselves to exhaustion. Hunters and demons and law enforcement officers have been getting drawn into this ever-increasing perfect storm of musical theatre which threatens to draw in the entire US at the very least. The effect has been overturning even the bounds of the grave, bringing people and entities back from the dead and beyond to participate.
Sam and Dean arrive and have to break the curse by doing... something, but they aren't sure what at first. While trying to figure it out, Sam gets drawn into the curse, and Dean then realizes he has to ensure that the play does not unfold as expected, no one gets married, and most especially, above all, Frederic does not end up with Mabel.
Featuring:
-Assorted Hunters and friendlies as the "Chorus of Pirates"
-Assorted Law Enforcement Personages as "Chorus of Police"
-Assorted Demons, Psychic Kids and general annoyances as "Chorus of General Stanley's Daughters"
-YED as Major General Stanley (who has retained enough awareness of what's going on to try and manipulate events in his own favour, given a second chance at existence)
-John and Bobby as the Pirate King. (Somehow.... It's crack, okay? Don't ask me.)
-Dean (just pretending, as he is protected from the effect of the musical curse by an iPod full of Mullet Rock) as Samuel, the Pirate King's Lieutenant (Which means, yes, everyone keeps calling Dean 'Sam', (like this wasn't confusing enough))
-Sam as Frederic, the Pirate Apprentice
-Ellen as Ruth, a Piratical Maid of all work
-Henricksen, Detective Ballard, and Deputy Kathleen Hudak as the Sergeant(s) of Police (It's a committee, okay?)
-Ruby as Mabel, Meg as Edith, Bela as Kate and Jo as Isabel
-Bela, Ruby and Jo again as "Three Little Maids from School" who keep showing up randomly even though it's the wrong play, and no one is certain which trio are the real ones.
In the end, Dean keeps Sam away from Ruby (somehow), nobody marries anybody, the musical curse ends, everyone goes back to normal, the deceased and obliterated go back to wherever they were, the Trickster swears off Gilbert and Sullivan forever, and Sam angsts. The end.

...And if anyone thinks I'm taking this any further than that, you're on way more crack than I am. Although, if anyone else wants to write it? Go crazy. :-)
