Did anyone think that Tamara killed the human she exorcised the demon from?

I... don't know that she killed him herself, but she certainly wasn't sad that the human host didn't survive.

I took Tamara's "He didn't make it" as her not even trying to save whatever-the-human's-name-was, not specifically as her killing him. Which, just a shade of difference, but still something she might rationalize.

Stalker Chick with the knife, yeah -- no prisoners there. And that's another thing -- what's the deal with the knife? And why did it kill them, and where did the demons inside go when it did? That's one thing I've never been clear on -- did they go back to hell? Was the demon itself killed?

Even with John in Devil's Trap -- he's telling Sam to shoot him while he's got YED inside, but what then? Even in AHBL II, when Stan dies, the demon sort of goes off in its normal black cloud, yes? But why is it then *dead* and not free to possess some other body?

I'm turning out to like/need consistent rules more than I thought.

Clearly that was a magic knife - like the Colt maybe but just not known to the guys.

I'd assume that there have been a lot more knives and swords available to powerful demon-hunting occultists through the ages than revolvers, so the fact that someone besides Samuel Colt managed to create a demon-killing weapon doesn't really surprise me. The effect of those knife kills looked the same as the aftermath of the Colt bullets, so I think it meant actual destruction of the demons rather than banishment to Hell. Which means that we could still see a return of Envy, Gluttony, Lust, and either Greed or Sloth (was it the latter that Bobby trapped?)

It's like that Sarah Jessica Parker perfume ad gone wrong.

There's a version of that ad that went right?

Yeah clearly a magic knife. But is it just the knife that is magic? When knife chick was following along she kept vanishing suspiciously. Could just be good at hiding; but nothing in the camera work ruled out vanishing-vanishing. Maybe she is the successor to the YED, saving Sam for her own nefarious purposes?

Incidentally, in terms of Dean's deal. I can think of two ways out of it.

Yeah Sam goes back to being dead if Dean or Sam do anthing about it. But a third party....

The other thing: Sam could offer a modified deal. He and Dean both get ten years, then both of them go to hell -- angst, and it punts the problem past the probable life of the series. Or maybe they both get only an additional year - so they have one more season for solution one to kick it.

Sloth (was it the latter that Bobby trapped?)

I thought the fat guy was Gluttony. But maybe that would have been whoever fed Isaac the Drano.

I think she'd refuse the deal. I do. Not that I've ever written that scene or anything.

That would have been Drano Dude.

Was the vampire-looking guy who owned the bar Wrath, then? Because...he got angry?

I think he was some other none-Cardinal Sin demon - we didn't see him later.
