Supernatural 3.07 New Blood
Original Air Date: November 15, 2007

Bela, in some creepy place, approaches her car. In the reflection in her window, she spots Gordon Walker sneaking up behind her. He knows who she is, but she doesn’t know his face. When he tells her his name, she has heard of him, and that he was in prison. She reaches into her car, but he reveals her pistol that he is holding. He tells her that he knows she was in Massachussetts with Sam and Dean, and wants to know where they are. She denies knowing, so he draws his pistol. She asks what the fuss is about. He tells her that Sam’s the anti-christ. She smarts off, comparing that belief to belief in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. She says she doesn’t respond to threats, but offers to tell him for money. Gordon offers $3,000, which she scoffs at. Then she offers to do it for the relic on his belt. He gives it to her, and she immediately calls Dean, asking where he is.

Dean and Sam come upon a man lying on the ground with massive trauma to his neck and a puddle of blood. Dean asks where “she” went, and goes looking for the vampire. In a warehouse, he cuts his forearm with a machete to draw her out with his blood. Lucy (Mercedes McNab, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) comes out from hiding. Dean taunts her to come at him. When she bites him, he puts a syringe into her neck, and she falls unconscious. Sam rushes in, “Cutting it a little close.”

Sam and Dean stand over Lucy, as she sits tied up, asleep on the floor. She awakens and they begin interrogating her. She says she took something, but doesn’t know what it was, and can’t come down. She says a guy was buying her drinks in a club called “Spider”. The man, Dixon, said he was a dealer and had something better than anything she’d ever tried. He put a few drops in her drink. Dean asks if it was red and thick, knowing that Dixon had given her vampire blood. He had her in his house, but she broke out, because she was so hungry. She complains of hearing other people’s blood pumping and their hearts beating, half a block away. Dean tells her she’s killed two, and almost a third. She doesn’t believe it. She thinks she’s just just been hallucinating, because of the drug. Sam and Dean talk in the other room. Sam feels sorry for her, and Dean seems only vaguely sympathetic, but knows he has to kill her. He goes in with the machete, and we hear him chop off her head.

Gordon and Kubrick pose as FBI agents, asking about his attacker. They tell him they would have had to kill him if her blood had gotten into his mouth or into an open wound, because Lucy’s has a terrible virus. Gordon asks the man about the two men that chased her away, confirming that it was the Winchesters.

Outside Spider, Sam and Dean spot a likely “Dixon” escorting a young woman into the alley. Dixon prepares to give her an eyedropper full of vampire blood, when Dean knocks it out of his hand. Dean beats the vampire, but Dixon gets away. As they run after him, they come upon Gordon and Kubrick, who open fire on the boys, and the boys take cover. Dean tells Sam to run while he draws them off. Sam heads away, as Dean runs more into the open. Kubrick takes off after Dean. Gordon approaches their hiding place slowly, expecting to find Sam. As Gordon reaches Sam’s hiding place and begins looking around for him, he’s suddenly attacked from above by… Dixon.

When Dean arrives at the hotel, Sam expresses his anger for being so reckless. He asks Dean how Gordon knew where they were. Dean: That bitch! He pulls out his wireless and calls Bela. She boldly tells him that Gordon Walker paid her to tell him where they were. She said she fully intended to call and warn them about the raging psychopath, but was a bit sidetracked. She casually rolls her eyes and shakes her head as if he’s being a drama queen about this one guy coming after the two of them. She’s taken aback when he tells her there were two of them. She looks very distressed when Dean threatens to kill her, first thing after they survive this.

Gordon wakes, tied up to a padless cot. Two women are shackled in the warehouse with him. Dixon enters, giving the women blood to drink, telling them that they’ll feel much better soon. He sees Gordon awake. Confronted by Gordon, Dixon says they’re a dying breed, which he knows already. He says he’s just trying to rebuild, since his family, including his daughter, was murdered by bloodthirsty vampire hunters. Gordon keeps taunting Dixon with sarcasm and referring to vampires as mindless animals. Dixon changes his plans, deciding not to feed Gordon to his new daughters. Instead, Dixon slits Gordon’s and his own forearm, mixing their blood to turn him into a vampire. Gordon screams, “No-o-o-o-o!”

Dean and Sam are cleaning and sharpening their weapons. Sam mentions the vampire being out there. Dean says, “First things first.” Dean is surprised when Sam says their only option is to kill Gordon. He says Gordon won’t stop until they’re dead… or until he is.

Dean’s phone rings. Bela offers information to help keep Dean from killing her. Of course, she still speaks with strong bravado. She has used a “talking board” to contact the other side. She tells them of the warehouse at the riverfront. The spirit also warned them to leave town and not to go after Gordon.

Gordon wakes again, this time shackled from above just like the women. The sunlight entering the room hurts his eyes. He sees the time, and, looking desperate, breaks free. One of the women asks him to help them. When he gets outside, lights and sounds disturb him. He hears a heartbeat, and attacks a man nearby.

Sam and Dean arrive in Dixon’s lair, guns drawn. Dixon is kneeling on the floor, facing his “daughters’” headless bodies. He hears the boys and tells them to go ahead and kill him. On the verge of tears, he tells them that Gordon Walker did this. He says he never should have brought a hunter into his lair with his family. Dixon says they wouldn’t understand, he was desperate. He asks Dean if he knows what it’s like not to care anymore, after losing everything. It’s like being dead already. Dean is visibly affected. Sam notices that the women’s heads weren’t cut off, they were ripped off barehanded. Dean asks Gordon what he did to Gordon.

Kubrick, alone in his trailer, looks out to see what dogs are barking at. He turns to see Gordon in the room. Gordon tells him that they turned him. Gordon says it means Kubrick has to kill him… but not until he kills Sam. He says it’s the one good thing that will come out of what’s happened to him. His new strength and speed will help him. As Gordon faces a crucifix and says he can do one last good thing, Kubrick turns and goes for a machete. Gordon, though hears his heart beating faster, turns and rips Kubrick’s heart out. He embraces Kubrick’s body and apologizes.

Dean walks into the hotel telling Sam that he looked everywhere, and didn’t find him; and the sun is going down soon. Sam disables their cell phones to keep Gordon from using their signals to track them down. Dean tells Sam to stay there, while he prepares a pistol to go after Gordon. Sam is angry that Dean is going on another suicide mission. He tells Dean to drop the joking, and pretending he’s not afraid. He tells Dean that he knows, having looked up to him since he was four, and following him, that this is how Dean acts when he’s terrified. He says he wants Dean to drop the show and be his brother again. Dean agrees to wait it out with Sam.

The boys barricade themselves in, and burn herbs to cover their scent. Dean’s new cell phone rings. [When did he leave and buy a new wireless?] Gordon tracked him by finding his scent in the wireless store. He is at a warehouse, and has a hostage. Gordon gives them 20 minutes to show up before the girl dies. Dean says he doesn’t have to do this; he’s still a hunter. Gordon calmly counters that, now, he’s a monster.

The boys enter the warehouse, guns drawn. They untie the girl, but Gordon is nowhere in sight. Suddenly a door closes, separating Sam from Dean and the girl. The lights go out on Sam. Sam raises his machete. Gordon is taunting him in the darkness. We see through Gordon’s red-tinted thermal vision, that he can see Sam in the darkness. Did I mention that Gordon makes me SO ANGRY?

Gordon: You aren’t human, Sam.
Sam: Look who’s talking.
Gordon: You’re right. I’m a bloodthirsty killer.
Sam: Don’t talk about it like you don’t have a choice.
Gordon: I don’t
Sam: Yes, you do, Gordon.
Sam: You didn’t kill that girl.
Gordon: No, I didn’t. I did something much, much worse.

Dean is beating at the door, when the girl, her fangs showing, goes after Dean. Dean shoots her in the head, killing her.

Gordon challenges Sam, saying they’re both evil, but he’s going to do two last good things: kill Sam, then kill himself. He jumps at Sam, and they crash through the wall. He throws Sam. Dean comes at Gordon with the Colt. Gordon throws Dean against the wall and bites him. Sam attacks Gordon, but Gordon turns, getting in a few hard blows. Gordon throws Sam against a workbench, where Sam chops at something with an ax. After Gordon throws him again, Sam turns around putting a length of cable around Gordon’s neck. Sam tightens the wire until it severs Gordon’s head.

Dean, holding his neck wound, chides Sam for charging a super-vamped up Gordon without a weapon, saying how it was a little reckless.

Dean is fixing the Impala. He quizzes Sam on the engine parts. Sam asks why, and Dean says he’s going to need to know these things, and offers him the socket wrench. Sam is taken back, commenting that he barely even lets him drive it. Sam takes the wrench to the engine.

Anyone else notice that the Impala is only in the last, touching, brother moment scene? They never do that. It usually is in the first of second scene of Act I. Profound? Interesting? Stupid? Clever? Cheap device? Let’s hear what you think about that.
