History Recap / SupernaturalS09E02DevilMayCare

* [[CaliforniaDoubling Vancouver Doubling]]: Shot in [[http://www.supernaturallocations.com/season9locationslist.htm various locations in British Columbia]]. The abandoned house where Abaddon is resurrected is a house on [[https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=49.315972,-123.05596&hl=en&ll=49.31588,-123.056488&spn=0.001602,0.00284&sll=54.112352,-126.555646&sspn=16.745584,46.538086&t=h&z=19 Grand Blvd E]]. The scene on the picnic table was at Bridgeman Park. Irv was sitting underneath [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Narrows_Bridge Second Narrows Bridge]]. The scenes on the bus were shot at the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_Institute_of_British_Columbia Justice Institute of British Columbia]]. The contaminated ghost town was shot on the [[http://www.ajatan.ca/ Aja Tan back lot]] on a set which has [[HeyItsThatPlace also been seen]] in ''Series/FallingSkies''.

* YouLookFamiliar: [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0601003/ Carmen Moore]], who plays Sgt. Miranda Bates, also played a doctor in [[Recap/SupernaturalS05E20TheDevilYouKnow "The Devil You Know" (S05, E20)]].

* DropTheHammer: Kevin attacks Crowley with a large hammer.

* BulletProofVest: Once the demons possessing soldiers are inside the evacuated city, they wear bulletproof vests over their uniforms, which seems odd, since demons can only be killed by bullets from [[OneHitKill the]] [[CoolGuns Colt]][[note]]and possibly bullets made from melted down angel blades[[/note]]. Abaddon must have warned them about the devil's trapped bullets.

* BrandX: Dean brings in a bucket of chicken from Sandy's Chicken. [[ContinuityNod Bobby brought Dean]] a bucket of Sandy's Chicken in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E22AllHellBreaksLoosePartTwo "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part Two" (S02, E22)]].

* WallOfWeapons: The dungeon has a wall displaying numerous weapons including [[AnAxeToGrind axes]] of various sizes with simple and ornate blades, [[DropTheHammer different hammers]], [[CoolSword swords with decorated handles or blades]], [[CowTools various clamps]], and knives which range from a simple [[TheButcher butcher's cleaver]] to a long [[OddlyShapedSword wavy blade]] with one [[SerratedBladeOfPain serrated edge]] and a pair of wings and claws sprouting from the handle.

* CoolGuns/AssaultRifles: The demons are carrying M4 Carbines with grenade launchers, night vision scopes, and [[HollywoodSilencer silencers]].

* CoolGuns/{{Handguns}}: Sam is carrying his pearl-handled [[http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Taurus_PT92AFS#PT92 Taurus PT92]].

* CoolGuns/{{Revolvers}}: Tracy shoots Abaddon with a 6-shot Smith & Wesson.

** When Dean and Sam encounter the military police, they flash their badges and Dean says "Agents [[Film/IronMan Stark]] and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Banner]], FBI." This scene was filmed the day after the cast returned from the [[FanConvention San Diego Comic-Con]] and the aliases may be a ShoutOut to Comic-Con.

** Tracy in [[WhoWearsShortShorts short shorts]] under the hood of her broken-down car, which the vampire falls for.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Tracy is wearing Daisy Dukes with a leather belt.

* TheNicknamer: Irv refers to the elder Winchester as "Deano". This nickname [[InSeriesNickname was also used]] by Meg in [[Recap/SupernaturalS05E10AbandonAllHope "Abandon All Hope..." (S05, E10)]]. This is also a FanNickname (part of "Dashing El Deano") often used on Website/TelevisionWithoutPity.

* FirstLawOfResurrection: Abaddon could have easily come back in a new vessel, but [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0435509/ Alaina Huffman]] [[EnsembleDarkhorse as Abaddon]] has been [[PanderingToTheBase popular with the viewers]].

* WindowsOfTheSoul: Dean has trouble making eye contact with Ezekiel, showing how uncomfortable he is to have Ezekiel inside of Sam's body. Later, when Sam tells Dean how happy he is, Dean can't look Sam in the eyes, because he is hiding some of the truth from Sam and is worried about what the fallout from this will be.

* DrinkOrder: At the end of the episode, Dean pours Sam and himself glasses of whiskey, and they toast.
-->'''Dean:''' So all of that...that was then. Okay? Here's to now. ''[Sam and Dean clink glasses]''

** In order to egg Kevin on, Crowley convinces Kevin that this trope will apply to ''him''. Dean convinces him otherwise, saying that the two of them, Sam, and Castiel are "[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming the only family [they] have]]".

* DramaticShattering: When Ezekiel reveals his wings, light fills the diner and a [[GlassShatteringSound buzzing builds up]] to an explosion which [[WindowPain blows out the windows]] and mangles the blinds.

Dean is on the phone with [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Irv Franklin]], a hunter and acquaintance of [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Bobby Singer]]. Dean warns Irv about the fallen angels and tells him how to use burning holy oil against them. Irv seems to take the news of Heaven's exiles in stride and reminds Dean that weird is nothing new, starting to tell Dean about hunting werewolf Siamese twins in Canada with Bobby.

* EvilWearsBlack[=/=]WomanInBlack: Abaddon is wearing a black leather jacket and black pants. She no longer has the black "the devil made me do it" T-shirt, instead wearing a plain black shirt. Presumably her devil shirt burned when Sam torched her meatsuit.

* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: The crossroads demon who possessed an old woman is GenreSavvy enough to know that if you NeverFoundTheBody you can't assume they are dead, and she decides to tell Abaddon what she really thinks of her and the [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Knights of Hell]].

* NominalImportance: When Dean addresses the hunter on the phone as Irv, GenreSavvy viewers may have realized [[TheLawOfConservationOfDetail Irv had a greater role to play]].

* CosyCatastrophe: Despite the fallen angels and chaos in Hell, Sam and Dean are more settled then we have ever seen them. Sam says he is happier then he has been for a long time, but Dean is uncomfortable with the situation.

* CrazyPrepared: Dean came ready to fight demons. He has [[KillItWithWater holy water]], [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells bullets with devil's traps]] carved into them, [[CoolSword angel blades]], and even an angel who can smite the demons.

** According to [[https://twitter.com/chadfkenn a tweet by Chad Kennedy]], the hunter Tracy Bell is named after [[http://www.iaemagazine.com/feed/Vol1iss5/traci-blackwell-the-cw-television-network.html Traci Blackwell]], the [[NetworkExecutives VP of current programming]] at Creator/TheCW.

** [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E01DevilsTrap According to Bobby]] in Season 1, Meg Masters, the human, died as soon as Meg, the demon, fell off of a tall building. It's safe to say Josie is gone.

'''Season 9, Episode 02''':

'''[[Recap/{{Supernatural}} Recap]] of Series/{{Supernatural}}'''\\

->'''Dean:''' Or monstery, or ghosty, or...it's going to be a busy year.

NOW a man drags a black body bag across the floor of a rundown candlelit house, and opens the bag to reveal a badly charred body. Meanwhile in a sunlit park, Sam and Dean discuss [[Characters/SupernaturalAngels Castiel's]] loss of grace and the fallen angels while sitting on a picnic table. Sam asks Dean what happened to Crowley, and is surprised to find Dean still has [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Crowley]] in the trunk of the Impala. Back in the bathroom of the rundown house, the man who is wearing mechanic coveralls takes a switchblade from his pocket, his eyes flash black after he cracks his neck, and he cuts his forearm while a cloud of black smoke swirls above his head. He drips his blood into the bath tub and a bright light bursts from the tub. The cloud of dark smoke descends into the tub. A hand with red fingernails grabs the side of the tub, and then [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Abaddon]] stands up in the tub inhabiting the naked restored body of [[Characters/SupernaturalMenOfLetters Josie Sands]]. Abaddon smiles.

TheTeaser ends with a [[{{Sting}} burst]], and the TitleSequence plays with burning wings and high-pitched whine.

Deans walks into the Men of Letters' bunker, and an arrow is shot through the air and lodges in the railing in front of the door. Dean looks down and sees [[Characters/SupernaturalProphets Kevin]] cowering behind an upturned table. Kevin explains that the last couple of days have been rough because the bunker went into lockdown after the sensors went crazy, and he thought the world was ending. Sam enters, guiding Crowley, who has a bag over his head and a pair of earphones over the bag. Crowley is taken to the dungeon where he is chained to a chair. Dean removes the duct tape over Crowley's mouth, but before Crowley can say more than "hello", Dean punches Crowley in the face. Crowley expects to be tortured, but instead Sam and Dean leave him alone. Kevin is very upset to have Crowley, who claimed he murdered Kevin's mother, [[Characters/SupernaturalOtherHumans Linda Tran]], staying in the bunker with them. Sam and Dean explain that they need Crowley to give them the names of all the demons on earth, and ''then'' they kill Crowley. Sam warns Kevin to stay away from Crowley. Dean tells Kevin to check the angel tablet for information on the spell Metatron used to empty Heaven of angels and tells Sam to check the internet for supernatural activity. Dean starts calling other hunters to fill them in on the fallen angels.

Abaddon, now dressed in black with a leather jacket, is addressing four demons in the abandoned house where she was resurrected. These demons include the demon who restored her vessel (who we find out is named [[Characters/SupernaturalDemons Jason]]), a blonde woman in a beige suit and pearl earrings, a man in a suit with a receding hairline, and an elderly woman in a sweater. Abaddon tells them that Crowley is dead and she will be Hell's new leader. She promises to conquer not only Hell, but earth and the fallen angels, instead of making deals like Crowley. The eyes of the demon in the elderly woman flash red, revealing she is a crossroads demon, when Abaddon insults her choice of meatsuit. The crossroads demon challenges Abaddon, saying she needs to ''prove'' that Crowley is dead, and goes on to add that she never thought much of the Knights of Hell. Abaddon grabs her by the neck, and the crossroads demon smokes out of the elderly woman. Abaddon tells the disappearing crossroads demon to go to Hell and tell them Abaddon is coming.

Dean is on the phone with [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Irv Franklin]], a hunter and acquaintance of [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Bobby Singer]]. Dean warns Irv about the fallen angels and tells him how to use burning holy oil against them. Irv seems to take the news of Heaven's exiles in stride and reminds Dean that weird is nothing new, starting to tell Dean about hunting werewolf Siamese twins in Canada with Bobby.

A young woman is bent over the motor of an old Volkswagen Beetle on the side of a road when a man in a white van pulls up beside her. The man offers her a lift, and, as the woman grabs her backpack out of her car, the viewers see the man in the van expose the fangs of a vampire. After the woman gets into the van, the van starts to rock from side to side and sounds of a struggle are heard. Blood splatters on the windshield. The door to the van opens, and the beheaded body of the vampire falls out. The woman gets out of the van holding a knife covered in blood. Jason appears beside the van and tells the woman, "Nice hunting". Another demon, possessing a blond soldier, sneaks up behind the woman and puts a bag over her head.

Sam and Dean detect odd weather patterns and cattle deaths surrounding Coronado, California. They arrive as the military police are investigating the abandoned bus with three bodies inside in front of the Navy base. Sam and Dean claim to be Agents Stark and Banner from the FBI. However, [[Characters/LawEnforcement Sergeant Miranda Bates]] is unimpressed, as the FBI has no jurisdiction in a crime committed on a military base. When she insists on talking to their supervisor, Dean takes out his cell phone and dials Kevin. Kevin tries to pose as am FBI supervisor, but when he can tell it's not working, he starts typing on his computer. He find some embarrassing photos of the sergeant in Cabo last June and threatens to send them to her supervising officer if she does not cooperate with the agents. A chagrined Sergeant Bates relents. Sam and Dean examine the bodies on the bus and realize these are ex-meatsuits, who have two or three old fatal wounds each, received while they were possessed. Sergeant Bates shows them the security footage of the soldiers leaving the bus. Sam pauses the video and zooms in on a figure whom they recognize as Abaddon.

On the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon, in a neighborhood evacuated after a chemical company spill, Jason is punching a hunter named [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Pete]] while he asks Pete where the Winchesters are. Abaddon realizes this is getting them nowhere, so she places a noose around Pete's neck and continues the interrogation while he is dangling in the air. Back in the bunker, one of Dean's phones in a box of cell phones starts to ring. Kevin answers the phone. Abaddon asks that he deliver a message to the Winchesters. A frantic Kevin calls Sam with the message, a set of coordinates ([[https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=44.053051,+-123.127860&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x54c11e7fa74d7551:0x2f16b62d36bca43c,44.053051,+-123.127860&gl=us&ei=ByNvUtGxK4v-4AOy8ICgBQ&ved=0CCsQ8gEwAA 44.053051 by -123.127860]]) and two names (Irv Franklin and [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Tracy Bell]]). Dean says Irv is a friend, but does not know who Tracy is. Sam finds the coordinates correspond to a spot on the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon. Kevin says that the lady told him that they were hunters and if Sam and Dean did not save them, she would kill them. Kevin asks who the lady was, and Dean says she is the bad guy. Dean then asks Kevin to start researching a way to kill a Knight of Hell. Sam and Dean realize this is a trap, but agree they have no choice but to try to rescue Irv and Tracy.

Crowley, sitting alone in the dungeon, starts to replay events from his attempted cure over and over in his mind until he starts hyperventilating. Crowley hears Kevin getting some files from the archives in room 7B. He calls out to Kevin, taunting Kevin until Kevin enters the dungeon. Kevin asks Crowley how to kill a Knight of Hell. Crowley offers to kill Abaddon if Kevin lets him go. Kevin doesn't fall for this, but then Crowley asks Kevin why he really came to the dungeon. Crowley goes on to ask Kevin how he knows his mother is really dead, and Kevin punches Crowley. When Crowley continues to mock Kevin, Kevin looks at the wall of the dungeon covered in blades and other weapons.

Sam and Dean find Irv and Tracy gagged and tied to chairs in a diner in the abandoned neighborhood in Eugene, Oregon. After making Irv and Tracy drink a shot of holy water, Sam and Dean untie them. Dean assesses the weapons they have while Sam notes that the demons are approaching the diner, carrying assault rifles. Irv asks Dean what the next play is. The scene switches to show Jason and one of the other soldier demons walking up to the diner. They hear Dean's voice from inside the diner shout, "Come and get it, you dicks!". The demons burst into the diner with their guns ready and find a recording of Dean's voice playing on a smartphone propped against a napkin holder on a table littered with empty cans and beer bottles in the middle of the empty diner. Outside the diner, Dean says they need to flank the demons. He directs Sam and Tracy to go right, and Irv and he will go left. However, Tracy wants nothing to do with Sam because her parents were killed by a demon who was celebrating after [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E22LuciferRising Sam released Lucifer from the Cage]]. Sam ends up going with Irv, and Dean is with Tracy.

As Irv and Sam approach the diner, Irv asks Sam to give him Ruby's knife so that Irv can take on the demons alone while the others escape. Sam points out that this plan is suicidal, but Irv says it is what he deserves. Irv explains that Abaddon captured him when he was sloppy in a bar, and he gave up Tracy and Pete when she tortured him. While a tearful Irv vows to take on the demons, a sniper on the roof of the diner shoots Irv through the heart. The sniper continues to fire on Sam, who runs into the diner, where Jason and one of the other demons overpower him. The demon who was firing from the roof comes down and also joins in the fight.

Tracy and Dean's approach to the diner is halted when Abaddon appears and punches Dean in the face. Tracy shoots Abaddon in the chest six times, but an unfazed Abaddon lifts her shirt to reveal a Kevlar vest protecting her from the devil's trap-engraved bullets. Dean takes a flask from an inner pocket in his jacket and flings holy water in Abaddon's face. While Abaddon is distracted, Dean gives Tracy his keys and tells her to go to the Impala for more supplies. Dean tries to stab Abaddon with an angel blade, but Abaddon knocks the blade away and forces Dean to his knees. Abaddon explains that she wants Crowley, or whatever is left of him. She promises to kill Dean quickly if he tells her where Crowley is, but says that if Dean does not tell her, she will possess Dean after peeling off his anti-possession tattoo.

Inside the diner, Jason slams Sam against the wall and knocks him out. Sam's eyes open, glowing blue as [[Characters/SupernaturalAngels Ezekiel]] reveals himself. Ezekiel in Sam's body glows with a white light, and the shadows of his somewhat straggly wings are seen. The light fills the diner along with a buzzing noise until it builds to an explosion that blows out the windows of the diner. Abaddon sees the explosion and is surprised to see an angel is present. She lifts Dean by his neck and throws him through the window of a department store before disappearing. Dean picks himself up and goes into the diner, where he finds Ezekiel in Sam's body cutting the throat of an unconscious demon with Ruby's knife. Ezekiel explains that he was protecting Sam, and that Sam was knocked unconscious and would not remember what happened. He used the knife on the demons so Sam would not know an angel was involved. Dean admits the guilt he feels for the deaths caused by the demons who remain on earth [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E23TheSacrifice because he talked Sam out of closing the gates of Hell]]. Ezekiel tries to assure Dean that his actions were to protect his brother and were done out of love. Sam wakes up against the wall of the diner as Dean is packing up the duffel bag of demon-hunting supplies. Dean lets Sam believe Dean killed all the demons himself. Tracy pulls up in the Impala, and the three of them drive off.

Sam and Dean get back to the bunker with a bucket of chicken and a bottle of prune juice. When Kevin doesn't answer their calls, Sam and Dean rush to the dungeon, where they find Crowley with new wounds and more blood covering him. Crowley gives Sam and Dean the name of two demons, Martin Hayward and Brandon Favors, which he says is payment for the entertainment Kevin provided while they were gone. Dean finds Kevin leaving the bunker with a backpack. Kevin says Crowley told him that his mother is alive. Dean says Kevin can't trust Crowley and that it's too dangerous for Kevin outside the bunker. Kevin says Dean just wants him to stay because he is useful, but Dean tells Kevin that he wants him to stay because he is family and they would die for him. This convinces Kevin to stay. After Kevin goes to sleep in a back room, Dean joins Sam in the library as Sam is researching the two names. Dean pours Sam and himself a drink of whiskey. When Sam mentions that Tracy was not wrong in her assessment of him, Dean tells him that he has helped more people than he has hurt. Dean says the past is gone, and toasts the present. He then asks Sam how he is feeling. Sam says he feels good and goes on to say he does not remember when he was as happy as he is now. Dean looks uncomfortably away from Sam as he agrees that things have never been better.

* ActionGirl: Tracy may be young, but she is already a badass hunter in cowboy boots.
* AmbiguousSyntax: While Dean seems to understand what Ezekiel means, there are multiple interpretations of the line "But it is why I said yes." Ezekiel may mean that it was the brothers' love that made Ezekiel say yes to helping to heal Sam. However, Ezekiel may have meant that Dean's love is why Sam said yes to ending the trials or why Sam said yes to allowing Dean help Sam when he was dying, which resulted in Ezekiel possessing Sam. If Ezekiel uses "I" when discussing Sam's motivations, it also suggests there may be some interconnection which is forming between Ezekiel and Sam that goes beyond the healing and Ezekiel's access to Sam's memories.
* AndIMustScream: Abaddon tells Dean what it will be like when she takes him as a meatsuit.
-->'''Abaddon:''' It can get worse. Trust me. 'Cause once I'm on top, [[ForcedToWatch I'll make you watch]]. And [[DemonicPossession I'll use your body]].

* BulletProofVest: Once the demons possessing soldiers are inside the evacuated city, they wear bulletproof vests over their uniforms, which seems odd, since demons can only be killed by bullets from [[OneHitKill the]] [[CoolGuns Colt]][[note]]and possibly bullets made from melted down angel blades[[/note]]. Abaddon must have warned them about the devil's trapped bullets.

** Sam discusses Crowley breaking down during the cure in [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E23TheSacrifice "Sacrifice" (S08, E23)]]. Crowley tries to blow this off, but seems to have been affected by these events and has {{flashback}}s of the cure.

** We see Dean's anti-possession tattoo, which was first shown in [[Recap/SupernaturalS03E12JusInBello "Jus In Bello" (S03, E12)]] and is based on the symbol on the amulets Bobby gave the brothers in [[Recap/SupernaturalS02E14BornUnderABadSign "Born Under a Bad Sign" (S02, E14)]].

* CosyCatastrophe: Despite the fallen angels and chaos in Hell, Sam and Dean are more settled then we have ever seen them. Sam says he is happier then he has been for a long time, but Dean is uncomfortable with the situation.
-->'''Sam:''' Honestly, um, I feel better than I have in a long time. I mean, I realize it's crazy out there, and we have trouble coming for us, but I look around and I see friends, and family.

-->'''Old Woman Demon:''' Uh-huh. Well, no offense, honey, but we all thought you were dead until, like, a week ago. And what if Crowley does come back? Look, a lot of us were scared of him, a lot of us still are. Prove that Crowley's really gone, and then maybe this scheme of yours will work. Or not.
