added Plot Parallel example

Added DiffLines:

* PlotParallel: It's easy to see why Sam is defending Jack and desperately wants to believe that someone born as a "monster" can have the willpower to resist their dark urges. While Jack struggles with craving human flesh, Sam is still afraid of turning into whatever Azazel had intended and wants to believe that using his demon blood powers does not make him a bad person. By the end of the episode, Jack has succumbed to his rugaru nature and needs to be killed. So both Sam and the viewer are left wondering what that says about the demon blood issue... By the end of the season, we will see that [[spoiler:Sam doesn't have the willpower to refrain from using his powers, either. Which causes a ''lot'' of damage.]]
