Synopsis

The teaser starts with Dean, speaking on the phone with Ellen. Sam has been gone for a week now. Suddenly, he gets a call from Sam. Dean hurries off to him, who is dazed, and covered in blood. Sam tells him the blood isn't his, and that he doesn't remember a thing.

Trying to recover what happened during the past week, they find themselves at a house. Inside, they find a dead body, (enter Steve Wandell), a hunter. They watch the security videos in silent horror, seeing Sam slit Wandell's throat.

Dean is thrown off by what has happened, and they worry that Sam might be turning evil. Back at the motel, Sam asks Dean to make good his promise to kill Sam should he turn evil. Dean cannot bring himself to kill his brother, saying, "I'd rather die." To which Sam says, "You'll live to regret it," before knocking his brother unconcious.

Dean finally comes to in the morning. He traces Sam to Deluth, Minnesota. Sam has found Jo, in her own equivalent of a road-house. He starts to come onto her and she resists. He knocks her out.

When she awakes, she is bound to the pillar. Sam tells her that, "My daddy shot your daddy in the head," in a sing-song voice that ups the freaky-Sam factor, revealing that John killed Will to put him out of his misery.

Just before Sam can do anymore, Dean bursts in, and Sam pleads again for him to kill him, or watch him kill Jo. Dean is unable to go through with it, turning away from Sam. Dean suddenly turns around, splashing the contents of his flask on Sam.

It is holy water and it sears Sam, who is in fact demon!Sam! Demon!Sam bursts out the window, and Dean gives chase. The chase finally ends on a dock, where demon!Sam shoots Dean who falls into the water. Thinking him dead, demon!Sam leaves.

Jo frantically trys Dean's cell, before finding him wounded but alive. She fixes him, taking the bullet out of his shoulder. Jo offers to help, but Dean forbids her to follow.

Demon!Sam is at the hunters door, and the hunter who opens the door turns out to be Bobby!! They catch up, while we go mad worrying for Bobby, who has returned with beer. As demon!Sam drinks up, he suddenly bends over, smoke coming out of his mouth. Bobby tells him, "Don't try to con a con man."

Demon!Sam wakes to find himself in the centre of the Key of Solomon. Dean is already there, and Bobby starts the exorcism. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and Bobby finds a binding link on Sam's wrist. The demon has locked itself in Sam! Demon!Sam starts with some incantations of his own, cracking the ceiling, and breaking the Key of Solomon.

Once free, he flings Bobby and Dean away, and starts to pound Dean up, telling him, he is in fact demon!Meg, who has crawled out of hell, and bent on getting her revenge. Before she/he can waste Dean with a final blow, Bobby grabs demon!Sam's arm and burns the mark on Sam's wrist, destroying the link. The demon exits Sam, and escapes by the fireplace.

Bobby gives the brothers charm amulet to prevent future possesions, and tells them to keep Steve Wandell's murder a secret, as his friends will come for his killer.

Trivia

  • One of the driving shots during this episode seems to be the same footage used in 1.04 Phantom Traveler.



References

  • Possessed!Sam checked into his motel room as Richie Sambora - a band member of Bon Jovi. Dean's comment on being disturbed that this suggests Sam is a Bon Jovi fan is arguably a reference to the fact that Jared Padalecki starred in a film with Jon Bon Jovi, "Cry_wolf".
