History Recap / SupernaturalS08E05BloodBrother

In [[NotSoSafeHarbor Eagle Harbor, Washington]], Benny, the vampire [[BloodBrothers who helped Dean escape Purgatory]], finds [[EvilFormerFriend Quentin]], a member of Benny's old vampire nest and also the person [[EtTuBrute who held Benny's legs]] when he was beheaded. Benny asks Quentin where the [[BigBad Old Man]] is, but there are two other vampires who ambush Benny. He beheads Quentin, but is [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction badly wounded]] by the others.

We then find the [[BloodBrothers Winchester brothers]] in the [[NoTellMotel Paradise Motel]] in Enid, Oregon. They have been trying to track down Kevin, but continue to be outsmarted by him, as he manipulates his [[TrailOfBreadCrumbs credit card records]]. Dean gets a call from Benny asking for help, and [[AloofBigBrother leaves without telling Sam where he is going]], which results in an argument between the two brothers.

Dean finds Benny [[GameBreakingInjury unable to stand]] and covered in blood. He gives him a cooler full of [[LiquidAssets plasma for transfusions]] and Benny makes an [[HealingFactor almost-complete recovery]]. When Dean asks what is going on, Benny is reluctant to tell him and says he has done enough already. When Dean insists on knowing, Benny responds, "You and that whole [[AFriendInNeed friend]] thing, man". This triggers a {{flashback}} to the two of them with Castiel in Purgatory. Benny is trying to convince Dean that continuing with Castiel is too risky, and Castiel agrees with him, pointing out it is unlikely an angel could [[OnlyTheWorthyMayPass pass through a portal made for humans]]. [[BloodBrothers Dean insists Castiel]] is going to make it out with them.

After killing several vampires, Dean has another {{flashback}} to Purgatory, where Castiel, Benny, and he are attacked by a group of [[KrakenAndLeviathan Leviathans]] and [[BloodBrothers Benny saves Castiel's life]]. Sam steals a car and starts driving to Prentiss Island. Benny returns the knife, now covered in blood, to Andrea, and tells her that [[KlingonPromotion the Old Man is dead]]. She is not willing to leave with him, and instead wants to [[PirateGirl run things herself]]. He tells her she is [[TheSoulless no longer the woman he loved]], which prompts her to attack him. Dean [[ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind arrives just in time and stabs her from behind]]. Sam is waiting on the shore when they get off the dinghy and meets Benny. When Sam shakes Benny's hand he feels the cold flesh and reaches for his knife, but Dean shakes his head and Sam backs down. Benny then says, "[[{{understatement}} I can see you two have a lot to talk about]]."

* BloodBrothers:
** Benny and Dean.
** Dean and Sam.
** Dean and Castiel.
** And even Benny and Castiel.

*** This was [[WordOfGod reported by the director]], Guy Bee, to be an homage to Creator/FritzLang movie ''Film/{{M}}'', where the serial killer whistles the same tune.

** Benny's old nest were vampire-pirates, or, as Dean says "[[{{Neologism}} vampirates]]", which turns out [[Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate not to]] [[Webcomic/{{Vampirates}} be as]] [[Literature/{{Vampirates}} original]] as Benny seemed to think.

* [[CollegeIsHighSchoolPart2 Graduate School Is High School Part 3]]: Amelia's transcripts reveal a C in Trigonometry, Vet History, and Buss Management. This of course begs the question of why history and trigonometry are being taught in veterinary school.
