Dean and Sam head to Portland to investigate the mysterious death of the ballerina Irina Koganzon, who danced to death. The Winchester brothers discover that she was wearing a cursed ballet slipper and they go to the antique where Irina bought the shoes. They discover that the owner had just inherited the shop after the mysterious death of his mother and he had sold cursed objects that were kept in a safe. Dean and Sam retrieve the objects but soon they learn that the real estate agent Joyce Bicklebee is buying all the shops in that area, using her assistant George to help her. Dean asks Frank to help him to discover the secret of the real estate agent.
"Out of the Old" is a funny episode, with a great story. Mary Page Keller "steals" the show with her performance. I only do not understand why George was spared. My vote is eight.

One of the 7th season's exciting and entertaining episodes
It starts off quite effectively.
The addition of cursed objects to the water dragons storyline makes the episode more interesting and powerful.
It's nice that the episode has a winter mood with scenes of Sam and his older brother Dean chatting in the snow.
Sam is having a sleepless time
Dean is worried about his brother
Joyce is the funniest villain of season 7 and a few more episodes would have been hilarious.
Actress fulfills her role successfully.
The Winchester brothers' humorous conversations and mannerisms make the episode very enjoyable.

I suspect that at one point that this was going to be two episodes. It is pretty terribly disjointed between the cursed object plot and the Leviathan plot development. It is especially sloppy around Scott being really passive about the what is happening. But it overall works because Showalter manages to keep the tone consistent and does his best to hide the seams between the two stories. And Dean liking Black Swan is a fun character beat.
It also helps that George is a great side character and the red herring about the Leviathans helping humanity largely works.

As much as i like the organisation and the monster talk from seemingly normal people i still feel like this great leviathan thing was a letdown of sorts. I get what they went for and i'm okay with it, i just want more. Funny assistant but really stupid.
The first half is typical crazy stuff, i love that but it's getting a bit old i guess, i did like the ballerina shoes
Supernatural is a very environmentally friendly show. Surpernatural is recycling old show ideas, and adding comedy to this season's episodes. The viewer should know not to take the sup-plot stories seriously. The tongue and check episode "Out with the Old" recycles the cures items story with comedy and Dean is brunt of the humor. The episode also focus on the main plot of what Dick Roman is up too. "Out whit the Old" is bridge episode which connects the recurring Dick Roman storyline. The storyline is why is Dick Roman buying everything? We know Dick has an evil master plan! The ending leaves the viewer hanging. I think the series is going to pick up from here on. I give "Out with the Old" seven out of ten stars.
Did you know
- TriviaThe music playing while Irina is dancing to death in the cursed shoes is from Princess Odette's death in the "Swan Lake" ballet.
- GoofsBefore Irena starts dancing with the cursed shoes, she places a small media player on top of the stereo. The stereo's display reads "no disc," indicating that it is in CD mode (not auxiliary or MP3 device mode), meaning it shouldn't be able to play anything from the media player. We don't see Irena switch it, so we shouldn't hear the music.
