She doesn't, bringing up instead that they didn't part on the best of terms and why is he there. He takes off his jacket and she sees the huge welt on his forearm in the form of a circle with a mark in the middle. "Looks like it hurt." You don't know the half of it Jo. After Sam makes up a lame "burning it on a hot stove" story, he wants to square things. He mentions that John was an obssessed bastard, but he isn't his father. Funny how that's true, at least in this state. As we learn later though, the real Sam is John's carbon copy.



He tries to make the plea heartfelt, but Jo isn't falling for it. She asks about Dean. Uh, oh, wrong thing. After pointing out Dean is more like their dad, which is so not true, Sam breaks character and goes into a jealous snit, and bringing on the evil eyes. He goes onto insult her, saying that Dean thinks of her as a little sister and romance is out of the question. "He kind of thinks you're a school girl." Oh yeah, that's going to win her over. He then tries to make it sound like he cares, but Jo is too pissed.



Sam grabs her hand, upping the creep factor to eleven. "I care about you a lot." She tries to pull it away and he grips tighter, then gives her a bone chilling leer. "I could be more to you Jo." Yikes! Evil Sam is so scary! She tells him to leave and she yanks her hand away. Sam gives her a parting look, like he's going to snap her like a twig. She stupidly turns her back on him. Can't you tell he's psycho right about now Jo? Oh right, not good at reading hints. Sort of like Lois Lane on Smallville STILL not getting all the glaring clues about Clark.



All of a sudden, this giant beast grabs her from behind and wraps his huge arms around her, practically swallowing her in his chest. Sam easily overcomes her attempts to fight back, and stops her from smashing the beer bottle on his head after kissing her neck. She begs Sam to get off her, so he spins her around and pins her down against the bar. He has her in a headlock now and Jo is pleading in terror for him to stop.



We're gasping, wondering if they would actually allow a graphic rape scene on this show, especially when it's Sam doing the potential act. A few more tense seconds later, we find out when Sam bangs Jo's head against the bar, knocking her out. Then Sam scoops her limp body in his arms, and strokes her hair like he might actually go there. "It didn't have to be this way. (beat) Or maybe it did." The scene ends, and to this day we wonder if he went there, even though all evidence hints he didn't. Wow, I'm out of breath.



Oh, but the drama doesn't end there! A record comes on the Jukebox, "The Crystal Ship" by The Doors. I'm not a huge Doors fan, but that's one of their songs I do love. To fit the mood of the song, the shot goes into a slower motion, showing Jo being tied to a post, and Sam is in full fledged evil mode. Right now, Jared is totally blowing me away. Wow, to think we had no idea he had this in him (at the time). He's the creepiest villain this show has ever had.



Sam is behind her as she comes to and he asks what her mom told her about when her dad died. "You're not Sam," she says. "Don't be too sure about that. Answer the question." Jo clams up, so Sam pulls up a bar stool next to her and does a complete over-the-top Sam puppy dog look tinged with evil, while holding the knife to her forehead. "Come on, it's me. You can tell me anything, you know that." After exchanging a couple of terse "fine" comments, Jo gives the story about how her dad and John were on a stakeout, and her dad was bait.



Sam smiles at the idea of John dangling Bill like meet on a hook, and then acts like a little kid hearing a cool bed time story, eager to know what happens next. Man this evil act is delicious. John jumped out too soon and exposed her dad, and the hell spawn killed him. Sam taunts that wasn't right. "You see, it hurt him, but it didn't kill him"¦You see Bill was all clawed up, holding his insides in his hand, he was gurgling, praying to see you and Ellen one more time, so my dad killed him. Put him out of his misery like a sick dog." Then he sing-songs, just to rub it in worse, because evil beings do that. "My daddy shot your daddy in the head." Wow, can this get any better?



Jo wants to know how he could know that. "I hear things." Now she finally asks why he's doing this to her. Wouldn't that have been the first question? "Like daddy, like daughter, you're bait." He puts a gag around her mouth and that's when Dean bursts in. Sam grabs the knife and shifts into tortured brother mode. "I begged you to stop me Dean! I told you I can't fight it! My head feels like its on fire, alright." Dean holds the gun, but won't shoot. Sam issues the ultimatum. Kill him, or he's going to kill her. Dean looks at Sam but doesn't shoot. Sam yells at him louder. "Shoot me, shoot me!" The camera does the jagged shots of Sam and his extended arms demanding to be wasted, just to add to the already gripping drama. Dean considers it, looks at helpless Jo, then lowers the gun. He won't do it.





Sam is livid, and starts berating Dean. "What the hell's wrong with you Dean? Are you that scared of being alone that you'd rather let Jo die?" Dean whips around and splashes holy water from a flask at Sam. He smokes. He's possessed! "That's holy water you demonic son of a bitch." Suddenly, Sam's eyes go totally black. Cool!



Dean keeps flinging the holy water, so not!Sam jumps out the window. Dean cuts Jo's ropes and heads out in pursuit. "He was possesed?" Jo says all shocked. Dean rolls his eyes, reflecting what the rest of us think. Duh! Dean jumps out the window.

Now for a really cool dock scene, and I swear I've seen this locale in a few X-Files episodes. Or Smallville. Probably both. Dean searches a warehouse with gun drawn and spots not!Sam in the distance. He draws his gun but not!Sam ducks behind, uh, stuff. Dean asks the demon "Who are you?" while they both maintain their standoff. "I got lots of names." Luckily Dean only needs one. Bitch.
