Back to poor unlucky Sammy, who must have been beaten unconscious because he gets water splashed in his face to wake him up. Kubrick has made up his mind even though Sam claims they did everything to stop the devil's gate from being opened and he doesn't know the demons' next move. Sam doesn't answer the next question so he gets another whack across the face. Not the face! That's where the beauty square is! Kubrick goes on about Gordon telling him that Sam is a psychic freak. Sam denies that's happening anymore and gets another whack. Oh that's it, you're going down! You can't hurt Sammy like this!

 

Kubrick isn't through, realizing that a demon war is afoot and they're facing an end game.  "So you can understand why we can't take any chances." He pulls out his gun and points it right between Sam's eyes. Yikes! This is getting dicey now. Sam is pleading and Creedy steps in, thinking Kubrick is going too far. "You saw what happened Creedy. Ask yourself, why are we here? Because you saw a picture on the web, because we chose this motel over another? Luck like that doesn't just happen." Sam wants to explain but Kubrick won't listen. "It's God Creedy. He led us here for one reason. To do his work. This is destiny." He points the gun at Sam again. Sam closes his eyes and waits for Kubrick to fire.

 

"Nope, no destiny. Just a rabbit's foot." They turn around and it's Dean, pointing his gun at them! Wow Dean, way to wait until the last second there. Kubrick thinks he has the advantage since his gun is still aimed at Sam's head. "Put the gun down son or you're going to be scraping brain off the wall." Somehow, I think that's going to happen if he does or not.

 

Dean jovily complies.  "But you see, there's something about me you don't know." He picks up a pen instead. Kubrick must know what that is and takes the gun off Sam, now pointing it toward Dean.  Dean smiles. "It's my lucky day." He throws the pen and it's a perfect hit right into the shaft of Kubrick's gun. Sam is stunned, Dean is just tickled! I'm laughing my fool head off.  







Creedy throws a punch and Dean swerves, so Creedy slams into the wall and takes himself out. Kubrick can't get the pen out of the gun so Dean picks up a nearby remote and tosses. A direct hit in between the eyes! In another great camera angle as Kubrick falls Sam still tied to the chair comes into view, flabbergasted over what's happening. So here we go, another line for the ages! With his arm still extended one very happy Dean gives the slick declaration. "I'm Batman." Sam isn't amused for he's had quite a scare. "Yeah, you're Batman." Dean just revels in his greatness, as he rightfully should.

 

Sam and Dean are in a graveyard and the embers are burning from some fire. Sam is ready to do this but Dean is still scratching lottery tickets. "Hey, back off jinx, I'm bringing home the bacon." Sam's always been a wet blanket, hasn't he? Dean puts the tickets in his jacket and grabs the foot.  "Say goodbye you wrasically wabbit." I love good mood Dean. He's so absent these days. 

 

Uh, oh. The luck has turned. Bela is there and she's pointing a gun at them. She wants the foot. Ugh, that bitch again! She demands Dean put the foot down, "honey." Dean refuses, probably knowing his luck is still good. He gives the "you're not going to shoot anybody" speech and as he gets out he can read people she fires and shoots Sam! Oh my God you heartless bitch! Dean is furious now. Sam is in agony in the background clutching his bleeding shoulder. Wow, this just stopped being funny. She boasts to Dean how she can't hit him but with Sam she can't miss. Of course Sam is reeling in pain and blood is running down his hand as she says that.

 

Dean says what we're all thinking. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Psycho bitch, that's what. He calls her out for shooting people and in her smugness she claims it's only a shoulder hit. "Who here hasn't shot a few people?" Right, tell that to Sam who's in some agony now. Dean agrees to put down the rabbit's foot and aww, he does care what happens to Sam. He goes down, pulls a "think fast" and does a quick toss of the foot to Bela. She stupidly catches it and ha, ha, ha serves you right bitch!

 

Next thing the foot is burning, thus releasing the curse and Bela is griping about being out 1.5 million and on the bad end of a psychotic buyer. "Wow, I don't really feel bad about that," says Dean. "Sam?" Sammy now has a bandana applied to his bleeding shoulder. "Nope, not even a little." She goes to leave, stopping to rest on the grave marker with Dean's jacket to leave her final tough words. I guess this bitch is a sore loser. We so know what she's doing while she whines about hanging them out to dry. "Don't go away angry, just go away," Dean aptly says. Unfortunately she comes back a few episodes later bringing a bad ghost ship story with her. That evil skank.

 

The rabbit's foot goes up in flames and Sam and Dean leave the scene. For whatever reason, Sam is still doing his shovel carrying obligation even though one hand is being used to apply pressure to his still stinging bullet wound. What a man! Dean chooses this opportunity to ask if Sam is okay. How about taking the damn shovel man! No, instead Sam gives a pained "I'll live." Dean realizes he has 46 grand worth of scratch tickets, but upon examination of the pocket, he doesn't. Bela drives away grinning with tickets in her hand. I do smile, for I know this bitch gets her comeuppance at the end of the season. Back to a stunned Dean who can only react with a "Son of a bitch!" Then Sam turns away laughing! Most everyone knows the story, Jared wasn't supposed to laugh but couldn't help it. That was the take they ended up going with. I think it worked, for Sam needed a laugh at that point.

 

They close this dark comedy with an eerie setup for an episode to come, aka "Fresh Blood." A banged up Kubrick is back at the prison to report his adventure to Gordon. "You're right. Sam Winchester is more than a monster. He's the adversary." Ah, Ben Edlund and his way with words. Kubrick's still all dewy-eyed over how this is a mission from God. When Gordon Walker sees something as batshit crazy, it likely is. He humors Kubrick though since they both are on the same page. Kubrick has to bust Gordon out of there. "Sam Winchester must die." 

 

Trust me Gordon, you're wasting your energy. Sam has died, many times. It doesn't stick. It's fun to try though I'm sure. Okay, that's a retro recap!
