That being said, we are now well into 2016 and I haven't watched an episode of Supernatural this year yet!
Sam has gone missing and when he finally turns up he is covered in someone else's blood with no memory of what has happened to him. I can't judge him too harshly. We've all had nights like that after a few drinks. I remember waking up one morning with a half eaten bag of prawn cocktail crisps lying next to me with no memory of eating them, which I found to be equally as unnerving.
The assumption is that Sam has gone all evil due to the demon's influence over him but I'm guessing it will most likely turn out to be that the blood is either a bad guy's blood or that it is the blood of someone he found hurt and was caring for. Sam is too nice to do anything evil. I could believe it more of Dean than Sam.
The brothers try to retrace Sam's movement over the last week and, after discovering a garage key in his pocket, they find a battered old Beetle parked in there. Dean is disgusted that Sam may have stolen such a car. I find this offensive! I am a proud Beetle owner and they are a great car.......well maybe I should say I'm just a proud Beetle owner....well.......I own a Beetle.
They find a bloody knife in the back seat of the Beetle and and a fuel receipt which leads them on to a refuelling garage. So far this is reminding me of those old "point and click" computer games. You go to one place, you find the clue for the next place and so on. What are they going to find at the fuelling station? CCTV footage maybe.
The guy at the petrol station remembers Sam coming in blind drunk and stealing some more booze before leaving. Maybe there is no supernatural explanation to this episode. Maybe Sam did just go on a massive bender for a week and now can't remember any of it.
It's funny how Dean seems really upset that the guy said Sam was also smoking. He seems more upset by that than the fact that Sam was found in a hotel room covered in someone else's blood!
After the petrol station man tells them the direction that Sam drove off in they come across a house which has been broken into with a dead man lying in one of the rooms. After discovering a massive stash of guns they surmise that the dead man was also a hunter. Fortunately the house is full of CCTV cameras...I'm not sure why but anyway the camera footage clearly shows Sam beating the shit out of the bloke before slitting his throat. This is really shocking! Even if the man was a bad guy (which I don't think he was) then I couldn't imagine Sam attacking him in such a way. Clearly something is very wrong with poor little Sammy!
Evil Sam has now shown up and knocked out Dean and escaped from the hotel room. He heads to a bar where he meets Ellen's daughter Jo. Is Jo a hunter now? Is he going to kill her too? I'd rather he killed Ellen. She kind of annoys me a bit but I can't really say why.
I find evil Sam more attractive than normal Sam. Oh dear, what does that say about me??
Evil Sam attacks Jo and ties her up. He then tells her more information regarding the death of her father. Jo believed that her father was killed by a demon due to a mistake made by John but Sam tells her that John actually killed her father to put an end to his suffering when he was badly wounded by the demon. I don't really see how this makes her father's death any worse. Sounds to me like he was already beyond help after being attacked by the demon so John shooting him doesn't seem too terrible. Unless that's just me being an uncaring bastard.
Dean arrives and throws holy water over Sam which burns him proving that he is actually possessed by a demon. The demon has been trying to persuade Dean to shoot Sam to prevent him from hurting anyone else. The next person to be hurt is Dean when Sam shoots him and then runs off. There's a lot going on in this episode!
Sam's turns up at the house of another hunter, Bobby. I already love this guy. I'm not sure how he knows but he offers Sam a beer which is actually a bottle of holy water which burns the crap out of him when he drinks it. I loved how he tricked him so much that I actually gave a little cheer.
The demon reveals itself as the same one who had possessed Meg in the previous season. It's out for revenge on the brothers for sending it back to hell. Bobby and a Dean try to exorcise it using the same ritual as in the first season but it doesn't work due to Sam having a mark on his arm which locks the demon into him. This at first seemed like a big problem but then they just burn the mark off his arm and the demon is forced out of him so it's not really a great plan for the demon.
A very good episode. They seem to be building on the idea that one day Dean may be faced with the very real problem of having to kill his brother due to the yellow eyed demon's master plan!
