Yellow Eyes asks Dean if he's one of his psychic kids, but a quick sniff of Dean's neck reveals that he's not. Dean figures out that the demon has been playing matchmaker and hooking up parents to create his own master race of special children. Yellow Eyes explains that in 10 years he'll show up to pour some demon blood into the mouths of the children, not to find a leader for his demon army like we've long assumed, but for something much bigger. Whatever his endgame is, he chooses not to reveal it. Yellow Eyes then jabs a knife into the gut of his current meat suit, aka Grandpa Sam, so he'll die once his body is empty. He also snaps Deanna's neck for good measure.
As John and Mary share a romantic moment in the Impala, Samuel interrupts, yanks his daughter out of the car, and snaps John's neck! Um, what? Excuse me? I attempt to pick my jaw up off the floor while Yellow Eyes tells Mary that her parents are toast. He also explains that he'll bring John back to life if she simply agrees to make a little deal with him. Damn you and your craftiness, Yellow Eyes! He doesn't want her soul, but permission to visit baby Sammy in 10 years. He promises no one will get hurt as long as his ritual isn't interrupted, so she goes ahead and seals the deal with a kiss. I guess now we know why Mary told Sam she was sorry back in season 1. Dean shows up a moment later to kill the dastardly demon, but the smoke escapes once again, leaving Samuel dead.
Mary's parents may be dead, but John quickly springs back to life, at which point Castiel appears to bring Dean back to the present. The angel explains that Dean couldn't have changed history even if he wanted to. He didn't send Dean back to stop anything, but to show him the whole truth. Now he's aware of exactly what happened to Sam, but even the angels are clueless when it comes to figuring out what Azazel's true endgame is. Maybe Dean can crack the case. "Your brother is headed down a dangerous road, Dean," Castiel explains. "We're not sure where it leads. So stop it, or we will."
This week's
Supernatural comes to an end with a "To Be Continued," which is a little odd. Next week's episode looks like a monster of the week outing, which seems like tons of fun, if not heavy on the mythology.
