– Missouri Moseley, 1.09 Home
History
Missouri was a hunter and psychic who practiced in Lawrence, Kansas. Missouri would go on hunts with her son, James Turner, who worried about his mother's safety. Missouri's relationship with her son would eventually become strained, leading to an estrangement between the two after Missouri was not able to prevent the death of James' wife. John Winchester first meet Missouri on December 17, 1983. (See John's Journal). Twenty-two years later Dean and Sam Winchester are led to Missouri when they are in Lawrence by the line in John's Journal, "I went to Missouri and found the truth."
Sometime after her meeting Sam and Dean, Missouri stepped away from the hunting life.
Episodes
1.09 Home
Following a vision Sam has, the boys return to their home in Lawrence, Kansas. They visit Missouri Moseley, who recognizes them without introduction, and also knows of Jess’ death and John’s disappearance. Sam, Deanm and Missouri return to the house, and explain to Jenny that they can help rid the house of whatever is there. Missouri senses two presences, one of which is a mean poltergeist, but neither of which were responsible for Mary’s death. Missouri has the boys help her prepare bags filled with ingredients that will help purify the house. As they start placing the bags, the poltergeist fights back violently, trying to stop them. Finally all the bags are placed, the house appears peaceful, and Missouri declares the house safe.
Sam is less sure, and he and Dean sit in the car watching the house. Suddenly Jenny appears, screaming at the upstairs window, just as she did in Sam’s dream. The boys rush inside and Dean takes Jenny to safety. As something attacks him, Sam gives Ritchie to Sari and they run outside. Dean breaks down the front door, and finds Sam in the nursery, where some force has pinned him to the wall. A fiery figure appears, but just before Dean shoots it, it coalesces into the figure of their mother, Mary. She commands the poltergeist to leave the house before disappearing herself in a ball of flame. Jenny and her family return to the house, and Missouri promises to keep an eye on them, as Sam and Dean take their leave. At home, Missouri muses aloud that she is surprised that, given his powers, Sam couldn't sense the presence of his father; John Winchester is in her sitting room. Missouri tells him to go and see his sons but he says he can’t, until he knows the truth.
7.07 The Mentalists
In Lily Dale, a town full of psychics, some real, some fake, Dean mentions Missouri, saying, "When was the last time we saw a real psychic? Pamela? Missouri?"
13.03 Patience
Learning that her protege Dede has been murdered by something supernatural, Missouri places a call to Sam Winchester asking for his help. Sam, not wanting to leave Jack alone, passes the case on to Jody Mills, which angers Dean, who leaves for Omaha, Nebraska to help Missouri. Missouri meets with Jody and has a happy reunion with, and notices his grief and gives her condolences to him.
Gaining entry into Dede's shop, Jody reveals that Dede's brains were removed from a small puncture wound in her neck. Dean and Missouri quickly surmise they are dealing with a wraith and when Missouri begins reading the room's energy, she quickly confirms their hypothesis telling Dean and Jody that the wraith is hunting psychics. Missouri soon sees a vision of her estranged son, James Turner's death, and urges Dean and Jody to go to Buckhead, Georgia to protect him and her granddaughter Patience, who is also psychic.
Later that night, as Missouri is waiting in Dede's shop, the wraith arrives. Undeterred, Missouri tells the wraith that she will not scream, as she has seen the possible outcomes, all of which end with her death. Accepting her fate, she defiantly tells the wraith that with her death it will ensure that he will be stopped.
