History Recap / SupernaturalS02E22AllHellBreaksLoosePartTwo

* GoodColorsEvilColors: The crossroads demon is in the vessel of a white woman wearing [[EvilWearsBlack a little black dress]]. When she first appeared in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E08CrossroadBlues "Crossroad Blues" (S02, E08)]], she [[WomanInWhite wore a white dress]] in the vessel [[ColorContrast of a black woman]], but during her second appearance in that episode she was a white woman alsowearing a black dress.

* ForWantOfANail: As it happens, Jake killing Sam winds up being a ''major'' linchpin in the narrative going forward. Consider: Dean makes a DealWithTheDevil to get Sam brought back, but Dean only has one year left to live as a result. And what follows in that year winds up being the first stepping stones to [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E23LuciferRising the Apocalypse]] and beyond... Because of one lucky stab to the back, [[GreaterScopeVillain Jake]] caused ''the rest of the series to happen''.

* DrinkOrder: Dean is drinking whiskey straight out of the bottle. Ellen asks for whiskey after she drinks the shot of Holy Water.

[[caption-width-right:350:That's a devil's gate. A damn door to hell. Come on! We gotta shut that gate! --Ellen]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The fact that Jake is driving an old model Caprice may be meant to compare him to the 100 millionth GM vehicle which rolled off the line on April 21, 1967. According to Chuck in [[Recap/SupernaturalS05E22SwanSong "Swan Song" (S05, E22)]], this Caprice was celebrated with ceremony and speeches, while [[spoiler:the Impala which rolled off the same line 3 days later received no fanfare, but became the most important object in the universe.]]

** When the Yellow-Eyed Demon sees that Dean has the colt and a clear shot, he eyes widen in horror. Upon being shot, he dies with an expression of shock and horror on his face.

* PapaWolf: John Winchester fights his way out of hell past an army of demons to protect his sons.

* EyesLightOut: When the Yellow-Eyed Demon is killed, there is a close up of his face and the yellow fades revealing the normal eyes of his dead host.

* BatmanGrabsAGun: In ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', Sam and Dean save people by hunting monsters, but they do not kill humans, and Sam is the one who is least comfortable with killing period. He convinces Dean to protect vampires from another hunter in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E03Bloodlust "Bloodlust" (S02, E03)]] because the vampires are not hurting people, and he refuses to kill Jake despite being pitted against him in a fight to the death in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E21AllHellBreaksLoosePartOne "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One" (S02, E21)]]. Both brothers are horrified when the human hosts die as a result of killing demons in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E22DevilsTrap "Devil's Trap" (S01, Ep22)]]. But in this episode, Sam shoots the human Jake in the back 4 times, and after Jake is lying on the ground pleading for his life, Sam shoots him another 3 times. Dean also kills the human host of the Yellow-Eyed Demon, and instead of regret, Dean gloats over his victory with no thought of the human host.

[[Recap/SupernaturalS02E11Playthings Sam then saves Tyler in the swimming pool]]. We see multiple shots of Sam and Dean holding guns, and Dean [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E18HollywoodBabylon fires a sawed-off shot gun in the cabin on the set of ''Hell Hazers II: The Reckoning'']]. Sam [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E13HousesOfTheHoly performs a seance inside Our Lady of the Angels]]. Sam and Dean [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E19FolsomPrisonBlues torch Nurse Glockner's body]]. The [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E20WhatIsAndWhatShouldNeverBe djinn tries to attack Sam, but Dean stabs the djinn in the back]]. John Winchester says, "[[Recap/SupernaturalS01E20DeadMansBlood Back in 1835, Samuel Colt made a special gun. They say this gun can kill anything." John Winchester shoots Luther in the forehead.]] Dean is [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E10Hunted bound to a chair when there is a large explosion behind him]]. Dean fires [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E02EverybodyLovesAClown rock salt rounds at a clown]]. Sam says, "[[Recap/SupernaturalS02E02EverybodyLovesAClown The Colt is gone, and it seems pretty damn likely that the demon is behind all of this]]." [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E21Salvation John gives Dean the Colt]]. The Impala [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E22DevilsTrap swerves on to a road racing to the hospital]]. A [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E09Croatoan man infected by the Croatoan virus leaps out a second story window. Sam appears in the broken window aiming his gun at the fleeing man. The Impala screeches as it approaches a roadblock]]. Sam [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E04ChildrenShouldntPlayWithDeadThings shoots Zombie Angela in the forehead, but the silver bullet has little effect]]. Dean says [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E16Roadkill "whoops" and shoots Jonah Greely in the head with rock salt. Jonah dissipates]]. Dean says, [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E08CrossroadBlues "Crossroads are where pacts are made. In selling your soul, rituals like this, you gotta put your own photo into the mix, right?" We see Sam and Dean at the crossroad outside Lloyd's bar. The red-eyed crossroad demon says, "I know all about you, Dean Winchester."]] The Yellow-Eyed Demon says, [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E21AllHellBreaksLoosePartOne "I'm looking for the best and brightest. This is a competition. Only one of you crazy kids is gonna make it out of here alive." We see Lily, Andy, and Ava die. The Yellow-Eyed Demon continues, "You're tough, you're smart, you're well-trained. Sam, you're my favorite." We see Bobby and Dean approaching Sam, when Jake stabs Sam in the back. Dean holds Sam as he dies, and Dean yells, "Sam!"]]

NOW, [[Characters/SupernaturalSamWinchester Sam's]] dead body lies on a torn bare mattress as sun shines through the windows of the room where Sam had [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E21AllHellBreaksLoosePartOne found the Bowie knife]] in the ghost town of [[NoCommunitiesWereHarmed Cold Oak]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota South Dakota.]] [[Characters/SupernaturalDeanWinchester Dean]] stands next to Sam's body. [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Bobby Singer]] enters the room with a bucket of Sandy's chicken and two bottles of cola. When Bobby urges Dean to eat, Dean says he is fine, and takes a drink from a bottle of whiskey. Bobby gently suggests that it is time to bury Sam's body, but Dean is not ready. Bobby asks Dean to come with him and says he could use Dean's help for the showdown with the [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Yellow-Eyed Demon]], but Dean says he is done and tells Bobby to leave. When Bobby says he does not want to leave Dean alone, Dean shouts at Bobby and shoves him, but ends up apologizing and again asks Bobby to go. Bobby says, "You know where I'll be." Dean remains alone with Sam's body as a tear runs down his cheek.

-->'''Jake:''' What, you a tough guy all of a sudden? What are you gonna do— kill me?

It is now nighttime, as Jake walks into the Fossil Butte cemetery. He is greeted by Sam, and Jake is astonished that Sam is alive. Dean, Bobby, and Ellen, then step out from behind gravestones with guns pointed at Jake. Jake uses his newly gained psychokinetic ability to force Ellen to point her own revolver at her temple, while Jake's eyes briefly flash yellow. He then demands that everyone else drops their guns or he will force Ellen to shoot herself in the head. Dean, Bobby, and Sam, reluctantly put their guns on the ground despite Ellen 's command that they shoot Jake instead. Jake then turns toward the crypt, pulls the Colt out of his pocket, and places the barrel of the Colt in a lock surrounded by a Devil's Trap on the door of the crypt. As soon as Jake turns his back on the others, Sam and Bobby grab Ellen and pull the gun away from her head. Jake is shot 4 times in his back as he unlocks the Devil's Gate. He then falls to the ground, and Sam stands over him as Jake pleads for mercy. Sam shoots Jake 3 more times in the chest, and blood splatters Sam's face.

* VillainsActHeroesReact: This episode deals with Dean's reaction to Jake killing Sam and then the rest of our heroes trying to foil the Yellow-Eyed Demon's plan to open the Hell Gate.

There are also no signs of rigor or lividity, despite the fact that Sam has been dead for hours.

* SadlyMythtaken: The actual [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Gate_%28Wyoming%29 Devil's Gate]] in Wyoming is in the central part of the state and is a gorge which served as a landmark on the Oregon trail. [[NativeAmericanMythology A story told by the Shoshone and Arapaho]] describes a large beast in Sweetwater Valley who was surrounded by warriors firing arrows at him from the ravines. The beast used one of his enormous tusks to tear a gap in the mountain range and escaped. The name Devil's Gate is said to originate from this legend.
