Episode One: Pilot

22 Years Ago : Mary Winchester is killed by something supernatural. Her husband John, alerted by her screams, finds her floating on the ceiling above baby Sam’s crib. As he watches in horror, she bursts into flames, alighting the whole room. John hands the baby to four-year-old Dean, telling him to get out of the house while he tries to save his wife. He fails but manages to get himself and the boys out.

Present Day : Sam, now 22 years old and a student a Stanford University, has spent the evening at a Halloween party with his girlfriend, Jessica. In bed that night, he hears the sound of someone walking around the house. Getting up to investigate, he finds his brother Dean, who he hasn’t seen in two years. Dean explains that their father has gone missing while hunting a supernatural being. He needs Sam’s help to find him. Sam agrees to go along, albeit reluctantly.

They arrive in Jericho, California, and start tracking what they believe to be a Woman in White, following their fathers trail. In a motel room, they discover his journal and all his notes - things he would never have left behind on purpose.

They discover a set of co-ordinates in the journal - an old trick which John used to use to let the boys know where they needed to go. They finish tracking down the Woman in White and manage to exorcise her. Dean asks Sam to go with him to the location John has left for them. Sam refuses, reminding Dean that he needs to get back to Stanford for an interview for Law School.

Dean drops him off and says goodbye. Sam heads up to bed, expecting to find Jess there. When a drop of blood lands on his face, he looks up to see Jess on the ceiling. In an identical way to how his mother died, Sam watches helplessly as Jess bursts into flames. Once again, Sam is saved by his brother pulling him from the burning building.

With nothing left to keep him in California, Sam agrees to accompany Dean in the search for their father and the thing that killed Jess and their mother.

Episode Two: Wendigo

Following the co-ordinates left in their Dad's journal, Dean and Sam head to Lost Creek, Colorado. On the journey, Sam suffers from a nightmare about Jessica's death. He regrets having left Stanford so soon, but Dean reassures him that they did all they could there. They find out that a young girl, Hailey Collins, believes that her brother Tommy has gone missing while out camping near Blackwater Ridge.

They discover that there have been people going missing from the same area every 23 years like clockwork. The abductions are blamed on a grizzly bear, but Dean and Sam suspect something else. They accompany Hailey and her younger brother Ben, along with a guide, to the area where Tommy and his friends were last heard from. The brothers soon realise that they're hunting a Wendigo. Not believing them, the guide goes to attack it and ends up with a broken neck.

They hide out in the forest until morning when they hope they will stand a better chance against the creature. They get split up, with Sam and Ben going one way and Dean and Hailey another. Hailey and Dean get caught by the Wendigo,who hangs them up alongside Tommy, ready to eat later on. Sam and Ben come across them and manage to cut them down.

Sam and Dean hatch a plot to get them out of there and defeat the Wendigo, involving Dean running off as bait. It succeeds and the Wendigo is no more. Hailey and Ben go with Tommy to the hospital, leaving Dean and Sam to decide where to go next.

Episode Three: Dead In The Water

In Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin, a young girl mysteriously drowns, despite being a strong swimmer and swimming almost every day in the same Lake. When Dean and Sam investigate, they find that she is the third person to drown in the past year. They discover that several more people over the past few years have also drowned there, each under mysterious circumstances.

They meet the local law enforcement officer, Jake, and his daughter, Andrea, and grandson, Lucas. They find that Andrea's husband was one of the earlier drowning victims and that Lucas was with him at the time. The young boy hasn't spoken a word since that day. They continue looking around, but the brother of the young girl is also drowned, this time in the sink at home.

Realising that they are almost certainly dealing with some kind of water spirit, Dean and Sam connect all the deaths to one man, Bill Carlton, the father of the most recent two victims. Lucas draws a picture for Dean, showing him a house that he believes is connected with the deaths. He still doesn't speak, but he and Dean form a tentative bond. Dean and Sam investigate the house and find the mother of a young boy who drowned in the lake 35 years earlier in 1970. The boy was a friend of Bill Carlton's and it looks as though the spirit of the boy is after revenge for Bill having drowned him as a child.

Unable to cope with the deaths of his children, Bill rows his boat into the middle of the lake, knowing that Peter's spirit will drown him too. Dean and Sam can only stand by and watch in horror. However, despite the spirit finally getting it's revenge on Bill,Andrea is almost drowned in her bath, leading them to understand that Bill was not the only culprit in the drowning of Peter.

It turns out that Jake was there that day too and was also responsible. While the adults are discussing this, little Lucas wanders out towards the lake and is pulled in by the spirit. Dean and Sam leap in to try and rescue him, but it's not until Jake offers himself to the spirit in return that the boy can be saved. Jake is dead, but Andrea and Lucas have survived. Lucas finally speaks again and they thank Dean and Sam for their help.

Episode Four: Phantom Traveler

A man, obviously terrified of flying, is splashing water on his face when a black smoke-like substance comes from the ventilation shaft and enters his body, leaving him with black eyes. He gets on his plane, worrying the stewardess when she sees him. 40 minutes into the flight he gets up and calmly walks to the rear of the plane and opens the door - causing instant depressurization. The plane hurtles towards the ground.

5:45 the next morning and Dean is woken up by Sam. They discuss the nightmares that Sam is still having until Dean receives a call on his cellphone. Jerry Panowski is someone that Dean and John helped out with a Poltergeist problem a few years earlier. He has another problem that he thinks is right down their alley. They head over to his office where he plays them the cockpit voice recording from flight 2485 that crashed. He reveals that they have no idea what could have caused the crash, but he thinks Dean and Sam might be able to help. They listen to the recording and hear a voice saying "No Survivours" which confuses them as there were seven people who survived the crash.

One of the survivours checked himself into a pyschiatric home shortly after the crash. When Dean and Sam talk to him (posing as Homeland Security) hesays he thinks he saw a man opening the door, which cant possibly be true, hence the reason he checked himself in. Sam and Dean go off to talk to this man's wife who insists that there was nothing unusual about her husband. They had thought he must be something other than human to have been able to open the door, but it seems not. The next thing for them to do is check out the remains of the airplane.

Thanks to their Homeland Security ID, they manage to get in and discover sulphur on the emergency door handle - something which could only have come from a demon. When the real Homeland Security guys arrive, Dean and Sam run.

Meanwhile, Chuck Lambert, the pilot from flight 2485 is about to fly a small plane for the first time since the crash. As he is preparing himself, the same black smoke that entered the first man does the same to him. 40 minutes into his flight, he purposely crashes the plane he is flying.

Jerry tells Dean and Sam about the second crash and they realise that there must be some kind of demonic possession happening and that the demon wants to kill everyone that was on the original flight. Panicked, they call the rest of the survivours, but of them all, only the stewardess, Amanda, is preparing to fly again. They use all their tricks to try and stop her getting on the plane, but it doesn't work, so they do the next best thing - they get on the flight too, despite Dean's fear of flying.

They test several people to see who the demon is possessing and it is eventually revealed to be the co-pilot. With some help from Amanda, they begin an exorcism. The demon leaves the human body, but becomes more powerful and causes the pilot to loose control of the plane. Ignoring the panic and chaos that surround him, Sam manages to complete the exorcism, destroying the demon and allowing the pilot to regain control of the plane.

They head back to say goodbye to Jerry and ask how he knew to contact them. He says that when he phoned John's cellphone, there was a message saying to call Dean in case of an emergency.

Episode Five: Bloody Mary

A group of pre-teen girls are playing Truth or Dare, one girl is dared to, 'say Bloody Mary three times in front of a mirror'. Later the girl’s father is found dead in the house.

In the car, Sam is asleep dreaming of Jess' death. Dean wakes him, they are in Toldeo. They bribe a mortuary worker to let them see the body, whose eyes have 'practically liquefied'. At the house it is the wake, the victim’s eldest daughter, Donna, is surrounded by her friends. The younger daughter is convinced it's her fault he's dead, because she said 'Bloody Mary'. Dean assures her it's not. They snoop, discuss the legend, about a girl who appears and scratches your eyes out if you say her name three times in front of a mirror. One of Donna's friends, Charlie, wants to know what they're up to. They give a vague explanation and Sam hands her their number, just in case she sees/knows anything.

Heading to the library to research the boys find the computers are out of order. Charlie is driving, on the phone is another friend, Jill, trying to freak her outby saying Bloody Mary in front of the mirror three times. Charlie hangs up, Bloody Mary kills Jill.

Sam is once more dreaming of Jess. Dean is bored with the unsuccessful researching. Charlie, who is beginning to believe it's because of the Bloody Mary legend that Jill is dead, phones the boys who don't discourage her views. The three of them head to Jill's house where they find 'Gary Bryman' and a bloody handprint on the back of Jill's mirror.

Gary Bryman was killed in a hit and run, we learn Jill was the driver. At Donna's house the name of Donna's mother is on the back of the mirror. She died of an overdose of sleeping pills over a year ago. Dean is at his wits end, he's doing a nationwide search on Mary's who died in front of mirrors. Sam and Dean realise the criteria Mary is using is the victim must have a secret where someone died. An article is found on Mary Worthington, an unsolved murder in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Images from the scene show her dead before a mirror with the same hand-print on it.

The police officer that was on the case explains that she was found dead in front of a mirror with her eyes cut out. He believes she was trying to write out the name of her killer. Her body was cremated but the mirror still exists, which was recently sold to a company in Toledo.

Donna thinks Charlie is crazy and says Bloody Mary three times in a mirror. In class, Charlie begins to see Bloody Mary in reflective surfaces; she ends up smashing a window and running from class, she calls Sam. In their motel room they cover all the reflective surfaces. After Charlie explains what happened, the secret Mary saw, they realise that the person only needs a secret where someone died. Mary is being very indiscriminate with the killing - the secret holder doesn't even have to be the one who calls her.

At the warehouse, Sam and Dean are ready for some quality smashing, except there are a few more mirrors than they expected. When they find the mirror, Sam summons Mary to it, with his knowledge that he dreamt of Jess’ death before it happened and his belief that he could have stopped it..

Sam is being overwhelmed by Mary, Dean smashes the main mirror. This causes Mary to come through it into the world. Dean holds up a mirror and Mary scatters like glass.

They take Charlie home and sail off into the sunset.

They tell Becky that Dean is a detective and start investigating. When they look at the security tape the police have as evidence, they notice something strange about Zack when he appears on thetape.

At 5:30 the next morning, Dean and Sam are looking in the back alleys for clues to the whereabouts of Zack's double. They hear about the second attack and realise that rather than a doppleganger, they are probably looking for a shapeshifter. They follow a trail left by the creature into the sewers and get split up after Dean is injured. They lose track of the shapeshifter and meet back up, but Sam suspects that Dean might actually be the shapeshifter and tests him. When he fails, Sam confronts him but loses and ends up in the sewers, tied-up and being taunted.

While the shapeshifter returns to Becky's house to try and get close to her, Sam discovers that Dean is also tied up. They eventually escape and head to Becky's to save her.

Jenny and her two children have just moved into a house in Lawrence, Kansas. The eldest child, Sari, belives that there are monsters in closet, screaming out in the night after she sees a flaming ghost in there.

In a motel, Sam awakens from a nightmare and realises that the dream was of their old house in Lawrence. He convinces Dean that the nightmare was a premonition and insists that they need to go back there. Dean's not happy but finally agrees. They arrive at the house and after talking to them for a while, find out that the house is clearly haunted. Clearly disturbed by this, they start to plan how best to investigate.

Meanwhile, back at Jenny's house, a plumber is called in to look at the blocked sink. He ensures that the waste disposal is switched off, but when he sticks his arm in, it somehow switches itself back in, shredding his arm.

Dean and Sam start asking around, looking further into the history of their old house. They talk to one of John's old partners (possibly Mike) and find out that his friends believed he had gone crazy after the fire and had started seeing a psychic.

Episode Ten: Asylum

Two policemen investigate a possible break-in at an abandoned psychiatric asylum - rumoured to be haunted by the ghosts of the patients. After they leave, one of the men goes home and kills his wife in a fit of anger.

In a motel, Dean receives a message on his cellphone - a set of co-ordinates. They dont know who the call is from, but they realise that the co-ordinates lead to Rockford, Illinois, which is where the Roosevelt Asylum is that John has marked in his journal. They head to Rockford to take a look around. According to the information in the journal, in 1972, three kids broke into the South Wing of the asylum. Only one of them made it out, saying that his friend went nuts and started 'lighting up the place'. Dean and Sam head into the South Wing to look further and find a plaque naming a Psychiatrist there, Dr. Sanford Ellicott.

Sam makes an appointment to see another psychiatrist, Dr James Ellicott, son of Sanford. He tries to find out more information about the asylum and the riot that happened there, but Dr Ellicott encourages him to discuss his feelings, especially towards his brother. When he leaves, he tells Dean what he learned about the riot. In 1964, the riot led to several people dying and some of the bodies were never recovered, including that of Sanford Ellicott. Deciding that they need to destroy the bodies, Dean and Sam head back to the asylum that night.

Two teenagers, Gavin and Katrina, sneak into the asylum and start looking around. They split up and Gavin encounters the spirit of one of the deceased patients. Sam and Dean discover Kat hiding, scared out of her wits. She goes with Dean to find Gavin and Sam goes the other way. Sam manages to find Gavin, but Kat gets pulled into a room by one of the spirits. Sam arrives and shots at her to calm down. He explains that the spirit doesn't want to hurt her - it wants to tell her something. She obeys and the spirit tells her the number 137.

Dean finds the room and discovers some papers that belonged to Sanford, detailing gruesome procedures that he carried out on the patients. Meanwhile, Sam gets call from Dean saying that he's in the basement. He heads down there only to encounter the spirit of Sanford. When Dean gets back to Kat and Gavin, he realises that Sam has been tricked and rushes off after him. Sam, who has been affected by Sanfords spirit, is so full of anger that he attacks Dean, almost shooting him.

Dean manages to knock Sam out and searches for Sanfords body, knowing that burning it will be the only way to defeat him. Moments before he succeeds, Sanford's spirit attacks him, but Dean fights back and manages to set fire to the body, destroying Sanford once and for all.

They leave and head back to the motel, both in need of some sleep. When Dean's cellphone rings, Sam answers. "Dad?"  

[Filthy Bloodsuckers]

Episode Eleven: Scarecrow

When Sam and Dean are woken from their sleep by the cellphone ringing, neither expect it to be John Winchester, their Dad who they haven't seen or heard from in months. He apologises to Sam for not being there when Jessica died and tells the boys that he needs them to go to Indiana to track down some missing people. With barely anouther word, he hangs up, leaving them as frustrated as they had been since the start.

Sam doesn't want to go to Indiana. He saw the phone number the call came from and knows his dad is in Sacremento. Dean insists that they need to follow the instructions, and the two argue. Eventually, Sam gets out of the car and starts walking towards the bus station. Dean drives to Indiana and starts asking questions about the most recent missing couple.

On the main highway, Sam meets a young girl also hitching a ride. She wont tell him her name or where she's headed in case he's "some kind of freak". She gets in a truck and heads away from him. Meanwhile, Dean finds out that the couple were in town a year ago and that they headed out via the apple orchard. He follows the directions and as soon as he gets near the orchard his EMF reader starts bleeping wildly. Getting out to investigate, he sees a creepy looking scarecrow in the middle of the orchard. Looking more closely, he realises that this is one of the missing men.

He heads back to town and starts trying to ask more questions of Emily, a young girl who lives with her aunt and uncle. Back at the bus station, Sam meets the same girl again that he saw earlier. They finally introduce themselves - her name is Meg and she's also heading to California. He ends up telling her a little about his family - how he feels that Dean is always telling him what to do, never letting him choose his own life. Meg sympathises and the two become friends.

Dean discovers another couple in Burkitsville who he suspects are about to become the next victims. When his attempts to convince them to change their plans fail, he follows them that night. When they breakdown by the orchard, he follows them in. Sure enough, the scarecrow comes to life and heads towards them. Dean shoots at it, distracting it long enough for the three of them to escape. When he turns back, the scarecrow is gone. Next morning, he phones Sam (or Sam phones him!) and they discuss what he's found out. They suspect the scarecrow is being animated by some kind of pagan god, who, once given a sacrifice, keeps the town's crops healthy and the people safe. He hangs up after saying goodbye and goes off to talk to a professor at the local community college.

The professor confirms his theories, but as he is walking out, Dean is hit on the head by the Sheriff, knocking him out. The Sheriff and some of the locals are talking and decide that they still have to find a sacrifice for the scarecrow. Dean rescued the couple that should have been sacrificed, so it was only right that he take their place. In the absence of a girl, they decide that Emily, the neice of two of the locals involved, will have to do. Dean and Emily are tied up in the orchard ready to become sacrifices, but Sam, who has realised that his place is alongside Dean, arrives and unties them. When they make it out of the orchard, the scarecrow goes after any human sacrifices it can find - Emily's aunt and uncle.

With the scarecrow placated for a while, they attack the tree and the scarecrow with fire, burning them down and hopefully ending the cycle for good. Emily, orphaned once again, gets on a bus to Boston, hoping to find a new life by herself. Dean and Sam take a few moments to reassure themselves that their friendship is back where it should be, and then get in the car and head off.

Meg, the girl Sam met at the bus station, is hitching a lift in a van. She tells the driver she needs to make a call and, when he pulls over, she slits his throat with a silver knife, gathering his blood in a bowl. She seems to be speaking to someone through the blood and says she could have stopped Sam. She listens and responds with "Yes, father."  

[Filthy Bloodsuckers]

Episode Twelve: Faith

Sam and Dean enter an abandoned house to try and rescue two young children from some kind of creature. They find the children and Dean confronts the creature, using a taser to kill it. Unfortunately, Dean has fallen and landed in a puddle of water when he fires. The electrical current from the taser shoots back through the water and leaves him unconscious.

In the hospital, a worried Sam talks to the doctor, only to find out that Dean is being given only a few more weeks to live - the electric shock gave him a heart attack and damaged his heart. The doctor says there is nothing more they can do for Dean. Laying in the hospital bed, Dean accepts what has happened, but Sam cannot. He'll find a way to save his brother - somehow.

A few days later, Sam is in his motel room, scouring the internet and calling every contact he can find in his dad's journal, still with no luck. Suddenly there is a knock at the door and Dean is standing there, looking like he's about to drop. He tells Sam he's not dying in the hospital and Sam responds that he's not going to let Dean die at all. He's found someone that might be able to help.

In Nevada, they pull up outside a large white tent proclaiming to be the home of Ray LeGrange - faith healer. Dean almost turns and walks away, but he is drawn in by a pretty young girl who seems sure that the faith healing will work. Inside, Dean is called up by Roy LeGrange who miraculously manages to heal him. Confused by what has happened, and by the strange figure he saw standing next to him, Dean wants to visit Roy and talk to him. While he's doing that, Sam goes to investigate the death of a young man that appeared to happen at the same time as Dean was healed. As Dean is leaving the LeGrange's house, he meets the same young woman he saw earlier, Layla Rourke, and her mother who are trying to see Roy. Layla is dying and they are desperate for a miracle.

When Sam reveals to Dean what he discovered about the dead young man, they realise that somehow, Roy is exchanging the lives of his "patients" with the lives of other people. Dean believes that the figure he saw standing next to him was a reaper. Somehow, Roy is controlling the reaper into trading lives. While Sam breaks into the LeGrange house to look for clues as to how to stop him, Dean tries to stop another healing. Horrified, he sees Layla walk towards the stage. He desperatly wants her to be healed, but he cant allow it to happen at the cost of another life. He triggers a fire alarm, scattering everyone.

As they leave, Dean sees Roy's wife, Sue Ann, who appears to be praying with a cross in her hand that Dean recognises as being connected to the reapers. It's Sue Ann controlling the reaper, not Roy. But Dean cant do anything about it as he is pulled away by a pair of sheriffs. Later that night, Dean and Sam head back to try and stop her once and for all. They split up and Sam is caught by Sue Ann, who traps him in the cellar and then summons the reaper to attack Dean. Moments before Dean is killed, Sam escapes and grabs the cross from her, smashing it. The reaper is uncontrollable and attacks Sue Ann, killing her.

Layla visits Dean before they leave. She has come to terms with what has happened and the fact that she is going to die and reassures Dean that she still has her faith. Dean responds by telling her that despite not being religious, he'll pray for her. "Well, there’s a miracle right there", she replies.
