Chicago, Illinois. A woman hears a noise in an alley and is later attacked at home. Shadows can be seen on the walls.
One week later. Sam (Jared Padalecki) reads the paper as a manhunt continues for the killer. Dean (Jensen Ackles) comments how, "Dad made it fine without all these costumes." He feels like a high school drama dork. They dress in overalls. He recalls Sam in the play he did at school, Our Town, he was cute. There were no signs of a break in at the woman's home and the alarm is still on. Everything is in perfect condition, but Meredith (Melanie Papalia) was in pieces, could be the result of a wild animal. Dean uses his EMF and he spoke with Amy, "the charming, perky officer of the law." Meredith's heart was missing. Sam doesn't think it's a werewolf as the cycles aren't right, but it could be a spirit of some sort.
Dean sees a symbol, like a Z' shape. Dean chats up the bartender (Nimet Kanji) and gets her number on a napkin. Sam: "Do you mind doing a bit of thinking with your upstairs brain, Dean." Lots of this upstairs/downstairs stuff going on. The symbol isn't in any books or journals. Someone named Ben, was found mutilated in his home but there's no connection. For Dean the only successful piece of Intel he got was the bartender's number. Sam spots Meg (Nicki Lynn Aycox). I have this strange urge to call her 'Peg leg' everytime I hear her name. She's in from California, only reason she was headed there in 1.11 Scarecrow, was cos Sam was. So it's more than a coincidence that she's found him now. Meg says she's from Andover, Massachusetts and Dean coughs, cos Sam, hasn't introduced them. She tells Dean to cover his mouth. Oh, Meg, one of those women you wouldn't mind bitch slipping. Sorry thinking out loud!
She has a rant at Dean, telling him to stop dragging Sam around everywhere. Yeah like Sam can't speak or decide for himself. Meg: "If it were me, I'd kill him...show him a hell of a time." Dean asks who she was and Sam can only reply, 'weird.' Dean: "You bitchin' about me to some chick," and gets angry. Cos this 'chick' ain't worth the hassle. Sam thinks something strange is happening here, which Dean thinks is about him, ha. Dean: "tell me about it, she wasn't even that into me."
Sam: "No, our kind of strange." Dean thinks random consequences happen, but not to them. Sam can't quite put his finger on her. Dean, with his one track mind, "I bet you'd like to...maybe you're thinking a little too much with your upstairs brain." They need to find out if she's real.
Sam watches Meg and Dean calls him, as he's lurking outside her apartment. Dean: "You've got a funny way of showing your affection." Dean suggests he should invite her to a poetry reading. The symbol turns out to be Zoroastrian, 2,000 years before Christ. It's a sidral for a Deva which means "a demon of darkness." (Or you could say diva, ha.) A Zoroastrian demon is animalistic, like a demonic pitbull. Sam wonders how Dean worked all this out. Dean: "you don't have the corner on paper chasing around here." Sam asks the last book Dean read, and he admits he called Caleb. The Devas bite the hand that feeds them and haven't been seen for millennia and no one knows what they look like. Dean tells him to give her a stripogram. Sam: "bite me."
Dean: "bite her, don't leave teeth marks though." Meg changes in front of the window. Look Sam's not interested in you, right! A woman coughs at Sam and calls him a pervert, like Dean did.
Sam follows her to an empty building, where he notices a black alter and cup. She speaks in Latin. Telling 'It' not to come as they're in town. Sam sees a symbol on the alter in blood. Dean: "Sam's got a thing for the bad girl." Sam says she was talking into the cup like witches scrie into crystal balls. Someone else is giving her orders.
Dean got a favour from Amy and the first first Vic was from Lawrence, Kansas and so was Meredith. Meg is connected to the demon. Dean leaves a message for Dad (Jeffrey Dean Morgan.) Sam thinks they've found the demon and if so, it'll be over tonight and he'll sleep for a month. But it couldn't be that simple, cos we have miles to go with this show. Sam could go back to school, which Dean thinks is great for Sam. Dean: "it's never gonna be over, there's gonna be others, there's always gonna be something to hunt. I don't want you to leave the second this thing is over, Sam." Dean asks why he got Sam from Stamford in the first place and takes him everywhere. Sam thinks it's cos Dad was in trouble. Dean wants the three of them to be a family again. Sam: "Dean, we are a family. I'd do anything for you, but things will never be the way they were before." Sam doesn't want to go back to that life, "I'm not gonna live this life forever...when this is all over, you're gonna have to let me go my own way." This is when Dean realizes, for Sam, it's all about living his life and not hunting. That Sam will never want to be a hunter again.
They hide in the building and Meg summons the Devas. She knows they're there. They're attacked by Devas and are tied up. Dean: "Sam, your girlfriend's a bitch!" The Vics being from Lawrence didn't mean anything. The trap is for Dad. Dean: "Oh sweetheart, you're dumber than you look!" He's not in town. Meg says they're his one weakness and he will be killed by the Devas. She saw Sam watching her. Dean: "get a room you two." Dean tries to untie himself and she hears him. Sam's got his own knife and he turns over the alter. The Devas attack Meg and throw her out the window. Dean: "Sam, next time you wanna get laid, find a girl who's not so buckets of crazy."
Dean sees a shadow at the window, it's Dad. (He did look like the demon from behind.) He saw her go out the window. Demons have tried to stop him before. They can't be with Dad yet, he doesn't want them hurt. He hugs Sam and is thrown back by Devas. Meg is okay and has a medallion with the symbol on it. Sam uses flares to light them up and escape. Dean realizes Dad can't be with them cos they'll use them to kill him. Dean: "Dad's vulnerable when he's with us - he's stronger without us around." Dad tells them the fight is starting now and they will be a part of it. Sam must let him go. Meg watches them drive away.
Can't believe they didn't realize that if Meg has some sort of a connection to the demon, then she won't be killed that easily. Plenty of laughs as is the norm with the show and Dean wanting Sam to meet a girl, but not this one Dean. At least he's been out getting numbers. Also Sam wants to get out once this is over, but it's not, so he has to stick around, never mind. Meg says they're vulnerable when together, which we'll see later in the season and in other seasons too, but it's not just when they're with Dad, it's also when they're with each other, since they'll do just about anything for each other. As Sam says here and we'll see later on. It's the brotherly love they share.
