Contents
2.08 Crossroad Blues
The background to the episode is the legend of blues player Robert Johnson who is reputed to have sold his soul for his talent.
Ten years before the episode begins an artist, George Darrow, summoned a crossroads demon in order to make a deal for greater talent. She hung around at a bar called Lloyd's and made deals with Sean Boyden (architectural talent and success), Silvia Growman (success as a surgeon) and Evan Hudson (his wife's life) as well.
Dean traps the demon beneath a devil's trap, and threatens to exorcise her unless she breaks the deal with the sole survivor Evan Hudson. The demon admits to knowing about the Winchesters, and taunts Dean with mention of how his father is suffering in hell. She offer to return John Winchester to life in exchange for claiming Dean's soul in ten years time. He refuses and she finally makes the deal only for Dean to finish the exorcism.
The demon flees the body it is possessing, leaving a confused young woman behind.
2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two
Dean summons the crossroads demon after Sam's death. In return for Sam returning to life, Dean exchanges his soul, which she will claim in one years time. She states that if Dean tries to get out of the deal, Sam will die.
3.05 Bedtime Stories
Sam summons the Crossroads Demon and demands she release Dean from his deal. When he threatens her with the Colt, she deduces that Ruby must have been involved in re-building it. She tells Sam that killing her won't break the deal either, she is 'just a sales woman' and that someone higher up holds the contract. After she taunts him that he would actually be relieved when Dean dies, Sam kills her with the Colt.
4.09 I Know What You Did Last Summer
Following Dean's death, Sam summons another crossroads demon. He offers to trade himself for Dean, but the demon refuses saying "Dean’s in Hell, right where we want him. We’ve got everything exactly the way we want it." Sam stabs, and presumably kills him, with Ruby's Knife.
