• Casting Side for Bela from June, 2007. This scene between Bela and Dean was used to cast the role of Bela. The scene features a plot line that did not occur early in Bela's role in the show, and so it is likely this scene is either from a script that was substantially re-written or the scene was written specifically for casting.

3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock

Bela tries to obtain and sell a Rabbit's Foot (the highest bid seems to be $1.5 million). She finds out that it is in a curse box in a storage container of John's by communicating with the foot's victims via a Ouija Board, and pays thieves to retrieve it for her. Ultimately, falling victim to the curse herself, she's forced to help Sam and Dean destroy it.

3.06 Red Sky At Morning

Bela reveals more of her character by telling Sam & Dean about how she seemingly scams rich customers (such as Gertrude Case) by holding seances for them & selling them supernatural charms.

At first she seems to be working the same job as Sam & Dean (Ghost Ship), but it turns out to be an elaborate manipulation - with their involuntary help, she steals the Hand of Glory, which she sells to a client.

When Bela herself sees the Ghost Ship, she turns to Sam and Dean for help. It is revealed that this particular ship - the Espírito Santo only appears to those who have spilled the blood of a family member, but Bela refuses to share this part of her history.

By summoning the brother of the Vengeful Spirit, the spirit is put to rest and Bela escapes death. She gives Sam and Dean $10,000 for helping her.

3.07 Fresh Blood

Gordon has escaped from prison, and tracks down Bela after he finds out she had been working with the Winchesters. Although he threatens to shoot her, she only reveals their whereabouts when Gordon gives her a priceless Mojo Bag.

When Dean later deduces that Bela led Gordon to them, he calls her and threatens to kill her. In an attempt to avert this, Bela contacts a spirit, who reveals Gordon's whereabouts. She passes this information onto Dean.

3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me

When Bobby lapses into a coma Sam and Dean find the culprit is Jeremy Frost, a patient of the doctor who was unable to dream until the doctor gave him African Dream Root.

Sam and Dean decide to take some of the herb themselves in order to enter Bobby's dream, and contact Bela to see if she can obtain some. She at first refuses, but then arrives at the boys' hotel room, just after Sam has had a rather sexy dream about her. Bela says she wants to help Bobby because he saved her life in Flagstaff, although this is later revealed by Bobby to be a lie. She remains to help during the case, but disappears suddenly - having stolen The Colt.

3.12 Jus in Bello

Sam and Dean are pursuing Bela in an attempt to retrieve the stolen Colt. However, Bela sets them off with an anonymous tip to the FBI, and they are apprehended by Henriksen in Monument, Colorado, where they had followed a trail to her abandoned hotel room.

3.15 Time Is On My Side

Dean receives a phone call from Bobby, who in turn got a phone call from an old hunter friend by the name of Rufus Turner. Rufus claims to know about Bela's whereabouts, so Dean - after a fight with Sam about whether or not it's such a good idea to hunt for Bela now - goes to Vermont to meet him. Rufus presents him with a manilla folder on Bela's past. Dean learns that Bela killed her (possibly abusive) parents when she was 14 years old. They died in a car accident. When Dean finds Bela in the Canaan hotel, she shows no regrets about her parents deaths. Bela claims to have sold the Colt to some buyer already. He is so close to killing her, when he spots a Devil's Shoestring propped on the door pane above her.

Later, Bela drives to Erie, Pennsylvania. When she arrives in the boys motel room, she shoots at the occupied beds, only to see that the boys weren't in them, but left two blow-up sex dolls instead. She receives a phone call from Dean, who reveals, that he knows that 10 years ago, when her parents died, she didn't kill them herself, but made a deal with the devil, and that today is the anniversary of that deal, thus her soul is due. Bela reveals that her only way of getting out of that deal would have been killing Sam. She also tells Dean, that it's Lilith holding all the contracts. When Dean hangs up, the digital clock on the night stand strikes midnight, and Bela hears the howling of the Hellhounds approaching rapidly. Her death is inevitable, but not seen onscreen.
