* TheGhost: Judith, a member of the Newcastle Crew briefly mentioned in this episode and implied to be just as messed up as Richie and Gary. She ''was'' originally meant to appear later (and in fact the script for her unfilmed episode is available online) but is reduced to this due to the show being CutShort.

'''Season 1, Episode 9''':
!The Saint Of Last Resorts, Part 2

When we last left John Constantine, he was in a bad way. Shot by Anne-Marie in the side and left for dead, he now resorts to channeling Pazuzu, Lilith's former lover, into himself. Of course, this requires casting away his usual protections, but never mind that! Except Manny ''does'' mind, and when the Invunche is scared away, he gives John a WhatTheHellHero. You see, John never even bothered to ''ask'' him for help, and Manny's pretty pissed off that John would resort to letting a powerful and infamous demon possess him without even checking to see if Heaven would help him, first. So, off he pops, and so does John... and unfortunately, John pops off into the middle of gang territory. Pazuzu doesn't like it when his host is threatened, and the next thing John knows, he's killed all of the members of the gang (and ''disemboweled'' at least one of them), and is getting arrested by the police.

Whoops.
