Hunt Initiation Log (Season 4)
Contents
The purpose of the Hunt Initiation Log is to track the source of the hunts Sam and Dean Winchester undertake. Sometimes they find hunts themselves, sometimes other characters give them information. Some episodes are more personal, with no clear hunt. This provides one more means of analyzing the characters. For example, it reveals that while Dean is the quintessential hunter of the family, Sam actually more often instigates the hunts, and that Sam gradually takes a more active role in that regard.
The Hunt Initiation Log has been divided up into seasons due to length:
- Hunt Initiation Log (Season 1)
- Hunt Initiation Log (Season 2)
- Hunt Initiation Log (Season 3)
- Hunt Initiation Log (Season 4)
- About the Hunt Initiation Log
4.01 Lazarus Rising
Comments: Dean wakes up in his own grave, four months after he was sent to Hell. After digging himself out and finding Bobby, he tracks down Sam - who is staying in a hotel with a girl not far from where Dean was buried. Dean is livid, thinking Sam has done something to get him out of Hell, but Sam assures him that's not the case - he's hunting migrant demons. Dean and Bobby decide to summon whatever pulled Dean out of Hell, while Sam continues to hunt the demons (trying to learn the same thing).
Dean gets a point for initiating the hunt to find whatever pulled him out; Sam gets one for being on a hunt before Dean and Bobby show up.
Initiator/Method: Dean/John's journal; Sam/tracking omens
