[[caption-width-right:350:I saw a way to make the future better, but to get there I had to do something hard. --Victor]]

Dean and the teenage hunters return and confront Victor and Seth. Seth manages to grab Aidan, but Josephine stabs Seth while Krissy shoots Seth with dead man's blood. Krissy then points her gun on Victor and dry-fires it as she names his crimes. Victor is overwhelmed by guilt and pulls a gun from his boot, shooting himself in the head. They use Seth's blood to cure the newly-made vampire from the lodge. Dean wants to take Krissy to her aunt in Cincinnati, so she can have a normal life. Krissy wants to stay with Aidan and Josephine, and she says they won't go looking for trouble, but if any monsters come around, they will be ready. Dean agrees to this and tells them [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Garth]] will come by to check on them. Dean also tells Sam they need to close the Hell Gates so the kids have a chance at a normal life.

* ChildSoldiers: Victor created these.

** Dean asks Sam if he's feeling alright, bringing up what Castiel said in the previous episode, [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E17GoodbyeStranger "Goodbye Stranger" (S08, E17)]], about his condition. Sam responds by asking if Dean wants to talk about Castiel [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating Dean up]].

-->'''Victor:''' That [[Characters/SupernaturalMonstersAndSupernaturalBeings Leviathan]] fiasco was a wake-up call.

-->'''Dean:''' And you can find some [[CanadianMusic Cowboy Junkies]] on the dial.

* OneSteveLimit: Another Jimmy.
* OpposedMentors: Dean shows the teenagers a different way to be a hunter, which is focused on helping others, rather then the revenge-motivated hunting of Victor.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Krissy bribes the hotel clerk when he realizes her ID is fake.

* SerialKiller: The local sheriff dubbed the recent murders of two women under 21 "The Lady-Killer Murders", believing it the work of a serial killer, but found it strange that the victims were drained of blood.

** When Sam wants Dean to talk about how he feels, Dean suggests they listen to [[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-junkies-mn0000120953 Cowboy Junkies]] on the radio.

-->'''Dean:''' Wait. So, what are we talking here? Some sort of kids' school for hunters?

* SnuffFilm: Dean compares the surveillance footage of the beheading at Make-Out Point to a snuff film, and is quite upset to see Krissy starring in the footage.
* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: Victor was allowed to take in three unrelated children with no difficulty. Dean leaves three teenagers to live by themselves. While it is mentioned that Josie is going to be turning 18 soon, this does not solve the problem about what would happen with guardianship of the other two minors, who will presumably still be going to school and trying to pay the bills.

* StupidEvil: Seth is making more {{Vampire Hunter}}s, which doesn't seem like a good idea for a vampire.

* SuperWindowJump: The vampire Jimmy Day leaves the hotel room by jumping through the closed window.
* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: The closed-circuit TV camera installed at the local make-out point and the security footage of the other vampire suspects. The second part, at least, is justified, as it turns out Victor created the footage of the other vamp suspects.

* TranquillizerDart: Krissy drops Jimmy Day with a dart filled with [[BloodyMurder dead man's blood]].

* VillainsWantMercy: Jimmy Day begs for help before he is beheaded. This [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch non-vampiric behavior]] convinces Dean something is wrong.

* YouLookFamiliar: Adrian Hough, who plays Victor, previously played Dr. Hydecker in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E18SomethingWicked "Something Wicked" (S01, E18)]].

Sam and Dean investigate the death of two women with their throats ripped out in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_Springs,_Kansas Conway Springs, Kansas]]. Posing as FBI agents, they find out that the local police have surveillance footage of three teenagers beheading [[Characters/SupernaturalVampires a vampire]]. Dean recognizes one of the teenagers as [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Krissy Chambers]], who left the hunting life after [[Recap/SupernaturalS07E11AdventuresInBabysitting Dean helped her]] kill a [[Characters/SupernaturalMonstersAndSupernaturalBeings Vetala]] in order to rescue her father and Sam. Sam and Dean track her down in a hotel, where she has tracked a vampire with her two friends,m [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Josephine and Aidan]]. Krissy manages to drop the vampire with a dart filled with dead man's blood, and the vampire begs for help before Josephine beheads him. Krissy explains that her father was killed by a vampire and she is hunting the nest of vampires that killed her father and the families of Aidan and Josephine. They were taken in by [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Victor Rogers]], a hunter Sam and Dean once worked with on a [[Characters/SupernaturalMonstersAndSupernaturalBeings rugaru]] hunt. Victor is training them to be hunters, but still seems to be giving them a well-balanced life with a home and regular school. Sam seems drawn to the possibility of balancing hunting with a normal life, but Dean suspects something is not quite right.
