Dean: (mumbling to himself) I'm the one who burned the doll and destroyed the spirit, but don't thank me or anything!

so you think daddy dearest is trapped in the painting and he’s
handing out Colombian neckties like he did with his family?
A "Colombian necktie" is a method of killing someone
where the victim's throat is slashed and their tongue is pulled
out through the open wound. It is popular in illegal drug-related
homicides or in cases where the victim is being punished for revealing
sensitive information.
