Because he couldn't make a bargain that would let him stay and be the one in that position, Suela. Rock and a hard place.

I loved Ava and I really hope she's neither dead nor demonic. Perhaps she was kidnapped by the demon kid from the last episode--remember him?

Me too. I adored her. And not just because of a pre-existing crush condition regarding the actress.

I suspect that Ash or Jo may be the leak at the Roadhouse, even if well-intentioned.

Possibly Jo, if they're sticking to the Jo's diary version of her backstory where she saw Gordon as a kind of mentor type.

My main flailing is in the LJ.

But I'm more than willing to sort of flail about here. As I said there, I've just rewatched Bloodlust-No Exit, and am damn impressed with the way this was set up.

I didn't love that Dean couldn't figure out how to escape from Gordon

It makes me look back at Bloodlust and suspect Gordon was off his game, that non-lethal vampires were something that hit slightly too close, and to think that Dean's in the same sort of position in this episode.

I loved Ava and I really hope she's neither dead nor demonic.

Me too. I suspect she won't be, or at least that it won't be clear, so that Sam has a love interest.

I REALLY hope that Ellen is not the leak, but I am afraid she might be, unless her phone is tapped.

John's last words to Dean do seem in character to me, too. I'm not a John hater, but the man has issues.

Plei, can I tag the first line in your LJ?

Sure! I have no memory of what it was. But sure!

points at new tag.

Thanks!

Ngah!

Need new SPN!

Whoo! That was a great episode. Although my housemate came in and started asking me questions right at the very end -- so I missed some of what happened in the last scene. I know they found the fiance, all corpsified & gross, and that Sam found Eva's ring, and there was blood everywhere. Am I missing anything else important?

Also, I hadn't watched that promo before, with the Johnny Cash song, and it was really fantastic! Anyone know the name of the song?

eta: Never mind, I just searched the thread for "Johnny Cash" and saw that the song is "God's Gonna Cut You Down." Off to iTunes!

I liked the episode, but didn't love it. I did love Ava, though. Better than Jo, so I hope we see more of Ava.

I didn't love that Dean couldn't figure out how to escape from Gordon,

This. I mean, on the roof Dean was wailing on Gordon like whoa. And then Gordon takes Dean down with two shots? Give me a break. I know it's another instance of us being shown that Sam really can take care of himself, but it's starting to get a little heavy-handed.

I'm going to have to go back and rewatch the very beginning as I got back from the laundry room just a little late. Also, the very end. I didn't realize they had found Ava's ring. Hell, I'm just going to rewatch the entire episode, there's always more to be gleaned from a second viewing.

There was sulphur on the windowsill.

OK, I watched. Granted I had no backstory to work with, which would have helped. It was quite pretty to watch. But not enough for me to schedule for it. One of these days I will see a DVD set and pick it up and marathon through in a week or two. Until then I will enjoy the discussion and pretty pics posted. Too few hours to add another show in my life.

It is not fair for me to pass judgment on one episode, but the mood was too bleak non-stop for me. I like more light moments to balance it out. Also, sorry, Dean's accent bothers me.

It was interesting enough, particularly visually, that I will put it on my summer viewing list. Continue where you were....
