Sam and Dean travel to Manning, Colorado, after reading about the death of a fellow hunter. When they arrive, they are reunited with their father and discover that the dead hunter, Daniel Elkins, was in possession of the Colt: an antique handgun forged by Samuel Colt himself, along with thirteen bullets (only a few of which remain) that, when fired from the Colt, are able to kill ''anything''. John wants to use the Colt to kill Yellow Eyes, the creature that killed Mary Winchester, but unfortunately, the Colt is now in possession of the people responsible for the Hunter's death: a nest of vampires. Using the vampires' major weakness (a dead man's blood is a paralytic to them), they capture the vampire leader's girlfriend and attempt to trade, but the leader attacks them. During the fight, John gets his hands on the Colt and uses it to kill the leader with a shot to the head.

** We see Sam using the [[http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-laptops Dell Inspiron]] laptop sporting the logo for [[http://covebike.com/ Cove Bikes]] in the diner. The laptop was previously seen in [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E07HookMan "Hook Man"]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E10Asylum "Asylum"]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E12Faith "Faith"]], [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E17HellHouse "Hell House"]], and [[Recap/SupernaturalS01E19Provenance "Provenance"]].

* TheBechdelTest: Passed.

* AsTheGoodBookSays: The inscription on the Colt is "[[GratuitousLatin Non timebo mala]]", which translates to "I will fear no evil". This is an excerpt from Psalm 23:4: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

-->'''Dad:''' Dad, I've got an extra machete if you need one.

* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: Elkins was likely the one who first told John about the Colt, but he failed to tell John he had it in his safe while John was on his quest for the Colt. John did not take this revelation well.

-->'''John:''' (Unsheathes a massive serrated edge machete from a leather holder.) I think I'm ok. Thanks.

-->'''John:''' Spent it on ammo.

** When Sam suggest investigating a woman in Iowa who survived a 10,000 fall from an airplane, Dean says, "Sounds more like ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_Incredible! That's Incredible!]]'' than ''TwilightZone''."

* TheNoseKnows: Kate identified Elkins by his scent, and later we find out that once a vampire has your scent they have it for life. But the scent can be blocked by saffron, skunk's cabbage, and trillium.
