[[File:LenoreDies.jpg|right|350px|thumb|[[Castiel]] kills [[Lenore]].]]
===[[6.19 Mommy Dearest]]===
:''VampiresVampire:'' [[Lenore]]
Castiel brings [[Lenore]] to [[Bobby's place]] so that they can ask her for Eve's location. She is hesitant, but eventually tells them where to find Eve: in Grants Pass, Oregon. She then asks to be killed. With Eve on earth, her nest has abandoned her and returned to feeding on humans, and even she has given in to her bloodlust on one occasion. Sam and Dean try to persuade her that after Eve is destroyed things will improve, but Lenore is doubtful. Castiel places a hand on her head and kills her.
===[[8.05 Blood Brother]]===
:''VampireVampires:'' [[Benny Lafitte]], [[Andrea Kormos]], [[Quentin]], [[Sorento]] and [[Benny's Maker]]
'''Flashback:''' ''Dean, Benny and Castiel defend themselves from three monsters that attack them and then argue about the fact that Castiel's presence is drawing attention to Dean and Benny. Benny and Castiel want Dean to leave Castiel behind, but Dean is determined to get all three of them out as per their deal or die trying. When Dean points out that Benny is a vampire, Benny insists that he only feeds on blood transfusions and that "I feed on blood, not people." However, before they can argue anymore, Castiel senses Leviathans approaching and three are forced to run. The three end up fighting two Leviathans and Dean decapitates one and Benny decapitates the other, saving Castiel much to Dean's shock.''

:''VampireVampires:'' [[Benny Lafitte]] and [[Desmond]]
A rouge vampire named [[Desmond]] decides to create his own nest and tries to entice Benny, who has moved back into his hometown in Louisiana and is looking after his great-granddaughter [[Elizabeth]] secretly, into helping him. However, Benny refuses so Desmond warns him that he will kill someone every night until Benny agrees. Desmond's first victim draws the attention of mentally-unstable hunter [[Martin Creaser]] who is following Benny and believes him to be the killer. He calls in Sam and Dean, but Dean believes Benny's story even after finding him after he buries Desmond's second victim. Despite Dean's belief, Martin and Sam go after Benny until Dean tricks Sam into leaving. Dean and Benny go after Desmond after Benny pretends to agree to join him to learn where he is and in the confrontation that follows, Benny kills Desmond. However, seeing Dean bleeding from an attack stirs Benny's bloodlust.
