Full Synopsis
Opening
Teaser
The episode begins with Dean standing on the passenger
side of the Impala parked under a bridge. He is on the
phone with Ellen asking her is she’s heard from
Sam. Dean’s been trying to reach Sam on his phone
and all he’s getting is his voicemail. He doesn’t
know where Sam went or why. During the conversation,
Sam clicks in on the other line. After calming him Sam
down, Dean floors the Impala and drives to a motel Sam’s
been staying at in Twin Lakes. Dean arrives at the motel
to find Sam covered in blood. Dean demands to know what
the hell happened, but Sam doesn’t remember anything.
Motel
Sam checked into the motel two days ago under the name
Richie Sambora. The room has been quiet and no one has
noticed anything unusual. The last thing Sam remembers
is the two of them at the motel in west Texas over a
week ago, going out to grab burgers. The next thing
he knew he was her. Sam doesn’t know how he got
here and he feels like he’s been asleep for months.
The boys decide to retrace every step
Sam made. Dean tells Sam that the manager saw him leave
the room yesterday afternoon but didn’t return.
Looking over at the window, Dean notices more dried
blood on the window lock.
Outside
the Motel
Looking at the storage lots across the street, Sam recognizes
door number two as being familiar. Reaching into his
pocket, Sam pulls out a key to the lock on the door.
Opening the door, the boys find a voltswagon beetle
with blood on the steering wheel. In the back seat they
find a knife covered in sticky blood, along with a pack
of cigarettes on the floor, with a receipt from a gas
station a couple blocks down the road.
Gas
Station (Couple blocks down)
Sam and Dean walk inside and the cashier immediately
recognizes Sam and demands for him to leave or he’s
calling the cops. He said that Sam came in yesterday
drunk as a skunk, grabbed a forty from the fridge, started
chugging, and also snagged two packs of cigarettes and
was smoking like a chimney. Dean pays the guy for the
boos and smokes and asks the guy where Sam headed next.
The guy tells Dean he went north up route 71.
Route
71
The boys head up north on the interstate when Sam suddenly
orders Dean to make a right onto a side road, leading
them to a dark unlit house, with security cameras. Walking
up to the door, they see one of the windows smashed
open and the powers to the alarm system has been cut
off. Upon entering, the boys discover a dead body on
the floor in one of the rooms, head covered in blood.
Sam believes that he did this, but Dean not so quick
to jump the gun on this one. He’s sure that if
Sam did kill this guy that he must’ve had a reason,
like self-defense or maybe he was just a bad sonuvabitch.
Picking open the lock on the closet, Sam and Dean find
a wall of weapons, photographs of missing people and
articles about Supernatural creatures, concluding that
this guy was a hunter.
The boys take a look at the security
tape of the room during the previous night, which shows
Sam clear as day entering the room like a maniac, throwing
a few rounds of punches at the guy, with the utmost
fierce. The video then shows him dragging the guy to
the middle of the room, slicing his throat with the
knife. Sam stares at the screen in shock and guilty
that he killed this guy. Dean says they must split because
there will be other hunters after him and they’ve
got to cover their tracks. After wiping off their prints
Dean grabs the TV and smashes it on the floor.
Motel
Back at the motel Dean is trying to reassure Sam that
it wasn’t him, that it might’ve been another
shape shifter or something. Sam tells Dean that over
the past couple of week he’s been having feelings
of rage and hate that he can’t control. Day by
day these feelings get worse and he feels that his evil
side is finally taking over. Sam hands Dean his gun
and pleads with him to end his life because he doesn’t
want to hurt anyone else. However, Dean is unable to
pull the trigger. But Sam sparks an attack on Dean ramming
the gun at his head, them storms out of the room.
Dean awakens the next morning to a
pounding on the door. It’s the manager telling
him that it’s past check out. Dean asks the manager
if he’s seen Sam, and he says that Sam left this
morning before dawn in the Impala. Dean asks the manager
if he can use his computer. The manager only agrees
after Dean hands him a wad of hundred dollar bills out
of his wallet. After activating the GPS tracker on Sam’s
phone, Dean finds out that Sam went to Duluth, Minnesota.
Duluth,
Minnesota (Local Bar)
Sam enters the bar and much to our surprise we see Jo,
who is very surprised to see Sam. He’s about the
last person she expected to see. When inquiring what
he’s doing there, Sam replies that he wants to
square things off, telling her that her dad’s
death was not his or Dean’s fault and that Dean
likes her, but not in a romance way. Holding her hand,
Sam says he can be more to her. Jo is getting freaked
out and asks Sam to leave. Sam starts walking out the
door, but turns around suddenly grabbing her by the
head and knocking her unconscious.
Jo awakens to find herself tied to
a chair. Sam makes use of the time by asking her what
Ellen had told her about Bill. With a knife held to
her face, Jo says that their dad’s were in California
at the Devil’s Gate Reservoir, setting a trap
for a hellspawn. John was hiding and Bill was bait.
The thing show up and John jumped out too soon, exposing
Bill. The thing turned around and killed Bill. Sam brushes
her story off and laughingly tells her that John killed
Bill to put him out of his misery.
Dean barges into the room pointing
his gun at Sam. Sam says he can’t control his
actions and begs Dean to kill him or he will kill Jo,
but once again Dean is unable to pull the trigger on
his brother. But he turns around chucking holy water
at his face, proving that he’s possessed by the
black-eyed demon. With smoke pouring out of his face,
the demon runs and jumps out of the window. Dean follows
right behind him into the storage building next door.
Although
they are not facing each other, they are still talking
in the warehouse. Dean asks the demon why it didn’t
kill him, when it had a hundred chances to do so. The
demon says this was a test to see if it could get him
to waste Sam. The demon continues on saying that he
is going to kill him and every other hunter it can find.
The demon leads Dean into a trap on the doc outside
the backdoor. The demon shoots Dean in his left shoulder
causing him to fall off the dock and into the water.
The demon stands on the edge of the dock with an evil
smile on his face, as he looks at Dean’s body
floating in the water.
Jo
is walking down the dock looking for Dean. She calls
his cell but gets no answer. She tries calling him one
more time and hears his phone ringing in the water.
She finds Dean lying on the edge of the dock still alive
and carries him back to the bar to patch up his wound.
Jo asks him how he knew Sam was possessed. Dean says
all he knew what that it wasn’t Sam. She then
asks him if demons ever tell the truth. Dean responds,
“Sometimes, especially if they know it will mess
with your head.” After she finishes patching up
Dean, he tells her that the demon’s going after
hunters and the closest one he knows is in South Dakota.
Without question, Jo says she’s going with him.
Dean can’t put it any plainer except to say, “If
you so much as follow me, I’ll tie you right back
up in that chair. This is my fight. I’m not getting
your blood on my hands.” As he walks out the door
Dean says he’ll call her later, but Jo under her
breath says, “No you won’t.”
Bobby’s
House
Sam arrives on Bobby’s doorstep and the first
thing he does is cut the phone line so Dean can’t
reach him. He knocks on the door and Bobby seems very
happy to see Sam and invites him in for a beer. After
one sip of the beer, Sam falls to the ground coughing
up smoke. Bobby put holy water in the beer and throws
a punch at the demon. The demon awakes tied to a chair
under the devil’s trap on the ceiling. Dean has
arrives and he and Bobby are prepared to exorcise the
demon from Sam’s body. But as Bobby incants, the
demon doesn’t appear to be harmed. The demon incants
a Latin spell or its own. The flame in the fire expands,
lights flicker, and the furniture shakes. Bobby looks
on Sam’s right arm and sees a binding link. It’s
a lock the demon used to trip itself inside Sam’s
body.
The demon continues incanting until
the ceiling cracks into the devil’s trap. He then
launches Bobby and Dean on opposite ends of the rooms.
The demon punches Dean several times, telling him that
hell is like a prison made of bones, flesh, blood, and
fear, even for demons and that Dean sent him back there.
Dean realizes that the demon inside Sam is Meg. As the
demon launches his arm back to throw one final punch
at Dean, Bobby comes up behind it with a heated metal
rod, burning the binding link off Sam’s arm. The
demon then immediately leaves Sam’s body and the
black smoke goes on its way back to hell through the
flames of the fire.
As Sam and Dean are sitting in the
room recovering from the battle, Bobby informs them
that Steve Wondell was found dead at his house and that
a couple of his buddies are looking for someone or something
to give payback to. Dean says they better hit the road.
As they’re walking out, Bobby hands them both
charms that fend off possession, so that the demon can’t
get inside them again.
Impala
As the boys are driving down the road, Sam tells Dean
that he was awake for some of it. He saw Steve die and
he’s shocked that Dean wouldn’t kill him
even when he almost killed Jo. Dean tells Sam that John
told him that he might have to kill him only if he couldn’t
save him. Dean says if it’s the last thing he
does, he’s going to save him.
