• Two words: Bon, Jovi. Nice, weird touch, Mr. Kripke.
• I’ve wished all season that Dean would have given Sam more credit, and trust that Ruby really did want to help them. You had to question her motives, yes, but they’ve had to compromise to get what they wanted before.
• How about that Dean vs. Ruby fight in the opening of the episode? It was quick, but exciting, no?
• This whole episode was so incredibly tense. I should have put a piece of leather between my teeth.
• Where did Lilith go? I’m sure they’ll have her regrouping somewhere to rear her head again.
• New Harmony, Indiana has a strong, and interesting, spiritual background. It was created by a German communal sect (The Harmonists), and was later sold to an early social reformer, who, early on, held a strong disregard for religion, and later a strong affinity for spiritualism.
• Those darn Winchester boys and Ruby’s knife. It was her knife, after all.
• Given just a second more, could Sam have used the knife successfully on Lilith?
• Obviously, Lilith’s seemingly strongest weapon had no effect on Sam, at all. Is there more, though, that scared her about Sam? Did she then see something like what Dean saw in Sam’s face, at the beginning of the episode?

What did you think of No Rest for the Wicked? How are you going to spend your Supernatural vacation?

As expected, tonight’s Supernatural was very tense and exciting. Of course, the time is here, and Dean has the Lilith to pay.

With 30 hours to go, Dean dreams of running from hellhounds. Sam tells him that Bobby has a way to find Lilith. Dean sees Sam’s face in some kind of demonic form.

Bobby and the boys divine that Lilith is in New Harmony, Indiana. Dean doesn’t want to go, and risk getting Sam killed, until they have a real plan to defeat her. Sam and Bobby want to summon Ruby for help, but Dean resists. Sam summons her, and confronts her about not telling them that Lilith holds the contract for Dean. Sam wants Ruby’s knife.

Ruby looks Sam up and down, and tells him that he’s ready to take Lilith out. She’s on “shore leave”, so her guard is down. She tells Sam that he has the power –the “demonic” power- to take out Lilith. Dean shows up and berates Ruby, telling Sam that she’s a liar who’s trying to trick him.

Dean: So, that’s you, huh? Our slutty, little Yoda.

Dean punches Ruby, and she wails on Dean and Sam both. Dean, though, has tricked her into a demon trap, and lifted her demon knife. Dean and Sam take off, leaving Ruby stuck under the trap.

Sam questions Dean about whether Ruby is right. Dean is tired of the pattern where one of them is “up a creek”, and another of the Winchesters has to sell his soul. Dean believes that Sam’s using his “powers” would be like selling his soul.

In a nice suburban home, the family is terrorized by their little girl. This girl is blonde, not the Lilith “body” we saw, before, though.

Dean can’t start the Impala. Bobby has tampered with it to keep them from leaving without him. They take off with Bobby following. Dean and Sam sing along with Bon Jovi’s Dead or Alive. They get pulled over for a busted taillight. Dean freaks out and kills the officer with Ruby’s knife. When Bobby catches up and asks how he knew it was a demon, Dean explains that he just knew. Somehow, he could see his real face underneath.

Bobby and the boys hide the patrol car. Bobby tells Dean that he can detect demons, because he’s so close to going to Hell. He’s “Hell’s bitch”, so he can see “Hell’s other bitches.”

In the suburban house, the little girl confronts the granddad about passing a note asking for help to the neighbor. She kills him from across the table, merely flicking her wrist.

The boys have made it to the house with the little girl. Dean can see that the “late night” mailman, and neighbors are all demons. They kill two of the demons with the knife. Ruby catches up with them. “What you don’t know about me could fill a book.” The neighbors come after them, but Bobby has blessed the water supply, and turned on the lawn sprinkler. They escape, and break into the house where Lilith is terrorizing the family, and check the rooms. Sam finds the little girl and her mother, lying in the girl’s bed. As he’s about the kill the girl, Dean stops him. She’s no longer Lilith.

They lead the family downstairs. Sam begs Ruby to help him do “the thing” to save Dean. She says they can’t do it. They need time. At midnight, hellhounds come for Dean. Sam, Dean, and Ruby escape to the dining room, and seal the doors against them. Ruby asks for the knife, saying she can keep them back, while they take off. Dean realizes that Ruby isn’t Ruby anymore. She displays Lilith’s little girl talk and demeanor, throwing Dean onto the table, and kissing Sam. She lets the hellhounds in. As they tear Dean apart, Lilith turns to Sam. She hold out her hand, and uses her “big flash” trick, similar to when we first saw her. It doesn’t work, though. Sam stands up, and Lilith’s face looks very afraid. Sam raises the knife to strike her, but she escapes, black smoke into a ceiling vent. [Don't see a lot of dining room ceiling vents.]

We see Dean suspended in a vaguely Hellraiser trap of chains and hooks.

September can’t come fast enough.

I, for one, think about these things a lot. I also drink –as many writers do- a bit too much coffee and soda. So, let’s take a little walk down the “What’s going to happen” lane.

If only Sam could make the same deal that Dean did. They could just leap frog, year after year. You save my life, this year. I’ll save yours, next year. Of course, since Lilith is in control of such things, that’s too much to ask for. It is, though, a scenario that would seem plausible. I would think, though, that the prize in Dean’s deal, as in all crossroads deals, is owning the deal maker’s life. The deal is always better for the crossroads demon than for the person asking. At this point, she has Dean. His life is a done deal. Consider this, though. If Sam makes the same deal, she would get Sam, as well. Maybe she would go for that. Then, the boys would have another year to figure out how to take her down.

What happens to Dean, Lilith, and the Contract

Consider, if you will, a few possibilities, including some that come from too much caffeine:

• Dean doesn’t really die. The open-eyed, lifeless look from the trailer is Sam’s dream or something.
• Dean dies. We pick up the story in episode 4.01. Oh, man!
• Dean dies. Willow Rosenberg (from Buffy, of course) brings him back. This time, biker demons don’t interrupt.
• Dean dies. Sam brings him back somehow.
• They kill Lilith, and go to Disneyland. Disneyland, though, looks “practically Canadian”.
• Sam disguises himself, and wins the Colt back by tricking Lilith into a round of three card monte.

Wait we must, but let the conjecture fly, until Thursday. What do you think will happen, this week?

Note the different title from the previous spoiler.

This spoiler is more spoilery than usual, so check it out beyond the jump, if you dare…

• It’s the last 30 hours before Dean’s contract is up.
• Lilith holds the contract!
• Sam, Dean, and Bobby search for Lilith.
• They find out Lilith is in New Harmony, Indiana. [I knew it!]
• Against Dean’s protests, Sam summons Ruby. How? I don’t know.
• Ruby warns that they aren’t ready for Lilith.
• Guess what. They don’t care what Ruby says.
• The boys steal Ruby’s enchanted, demon-killing knife, and make tracks to New Harmony, Indiana.
• It’s a fight to the death –who’s death? Dean, Sam, and Bobby take on Lilith and her army of demons in Indiana.

I smell trouble, which starts with “T”, and rhymes with “New Harmon-ee”, sort of. But, that spells TROUBLE! What do you think about this finale? What will happen? Who is going to die? Why do they have to die? How is it that they could avoid death? How badass are Lilith and her army, anyway? How the heck are they going to fight Lilith. Can Lilith do an Australian accent? “That’s not a knife.”

So, after the Ghost Hunters tribute episode, Ghostfacers, that gives us a little needed breather, we’ll turn headlong into the last three episodes of all Lilith and her fellow evil, all the time. Eric Kripke and Sera Gamble have promised that it’s not going to be pretty. Buffy fans remember seasons four, five, and six, where half of each season was spent fighting the unfightable. That’s what we’re likely to see in Lilith, just only in two or three episodes. Plus, now, they don’t have the Colt. Bela does, and she’s Kripke-knows-where. Of course, Dean will want to find and kill her. Sam, at this point, may or may not wish to stop him –depending on his frame of mind, at the time, especially his libido.

Ruby will be deep in the fight, and some speculate that we don’t really know what happened to Henriksen in the explosion. We only know that the news reported his death. Perhaps he’s gone rogue demon hunter, himself. More likely, though, he’s dead, but don’t put any of my hard earned cash on that.

Speaking of Henriksen, he and the demon horde in Jus in Bello were only the latest of the evils that Bela sent the boys’ way. That and her possession of the Colt, and her siccing Gordon on the boys, were more than enough to justify serious penalties from Sam and Dean, especially Dean.

So, enjoy the next couple of weeks of hard fought for reruns, then we’ll head into the fight.

What do you think will happen with Lilith, Ruby, and Bela? Why am I tempted to joke that they’ll move into a two-story Victorian in San Francisco, and begin saving innocents? Leave a comment and let us know where you think we’re headed in the closing episodes of Supernatural Season Three.

This one is big for you squeamish about spoilers, so I’ll put the meat of the spoilage after the break…

• It sounds like Dean actually goes to Hell. So, this will mean needing to bring him back, somehow. This is unconfirmed, but big.
• Ellen Harvelle was supposed to come back, as the boys’ other many, still breathing, friends are. Last I heard, the deal did not work out with her.

Come back for more on this one. We should have more details soon, I hope. What do you think about big shockers in the season finale of Supernatural? Leave a comment below with your unbridled opinions.
