It's 30 hours before Dean's (Jensen Ackles) deal with the crossroads demon is up and Dean, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Bobby (Jim Beaver) are searching for Lilith, who holds the contract. They discover her location and Sam summons Ruby (Katie Cassidy) for help despite Dean's protests. Ruby warns them they aren't ready to fight Lilith yet but they steal her knife and depart for New Harmony, Indiana.

In a battle to the death, Sam, Dean and Bobby take on Lilith and all her demons in a last ditch effort to save Dean's life.

The trailer already killed me.

[~CountryBumpkin~]

I wont be able to live through this! the preview broke me, how am I expected to watch a whole hour?!

...but Jared is on top of his game if the preview is anything to go by. He's going to break me to a million pieces.

[Shnicky]

I know Bee From the looks of the trailer, Sam's expression had broke my heart into pieces.

[ROCKSTAR]

That was unreal.

I will need a couple of days to post some coherent thoughts. It's not that I wasn't expecting Dean to die, but he suffered so much and Sam not being able to do anything. Then.... Ahh, too much.

The episode, however, rocked. Jared positively broke my heart....

Can S4 start tomorrow?

[ocfan27]

the episode was amazing!!!!!! shocking/emotional/amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sam rocked!!!

[~CountryBumpkin~]

I'm still in shock, I expected it to happen and truthfully Dean dead is better then an evil Sam since Dean was so worried about that. but NOOOOOO!!! And Sam so desperate to save him! ....I don't think Dean is dead though, he doesn't look like he's in hell, like he's stuck inbetween so maybe Sam hasn't lost yet. (Just no dark Sammy!)

and Jared OMG Jared! He was so amazing in this episode! All of his scenes with Jensen were so touching and emotional and that last scene?! I'm so proud of his work in this episode, I think it's his best so far.

and I still need some time to grasp everything, but can I just say that the Bon Jovi scene?! HEEEE!! OMG BOYS!!! I loves you!!

haha I feel the same way.. I'm not sure what I can even say at this point besides.. both Jensen and Jared were amazing

[winchesterboyz]

hi! Kara here... officially joining the Jared forum

Jared was awesome in this ep! he really was the ultimate little brother (if there's such a thing)

[angelface211]

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the episode yet. I know that it will just kill me and I don't think I can watch

[Shnicky]

OMG guys. I am speechless. I am so drained with all the emotions these brothers gave me.

Jared! OMG! Jared broke my heart 10000000x. He was amazing on this episode. I was so proud of him acting all broken and desperate and so heartbreaking. The last scene with him holding Dean. I just felt Sam's pain through. I wasn't able to speak after it as the tears kept flowing down my cheeks. Yeah, I know I'm a cry baby... I just wish that scene was longer.

Hmmm... I need time to recollect my thoughts...

[~CountryBumpkin~]

Kara, Welcome! Great to see you over here.

Nat, it's a tough episode to watch, but there are some really amazing brother moments, and Jared has never been better!

Gay, I agree, I really wish that final scene was longer, it was over way to quick. ...well not that I want to see Dean dead, but I mean I wanted to see more of Sam's reaction to that. Jared was AMAZING!

[Shnicky]

Yes, bee it was quick and I want that scene to linger on. I wanted to see more how Sam deals with this. We saw Dean got so devastated when he's holding Sammy with a stab in his back and that was a great scene, now, I wanna see the otherside. Jared did amazing, I just wish it'll be longer. Or maybe S4 will start when it ended right?

reposting from my LJ:

Okay, I think I'm ready to post my thoughts in here. I was speechless. I was crying. I was so broken. All those mixed emotions... Gah, I can only take so much. Kripke had killed me several times only by watching Supernatural.

I love the episode. I love it so much that it pains me to think Season 4 will be months away.

When Dean said he can pinpoint who the demons are, and I remembered he can see Sammy's face all contorted. Though, he didn't tell it to Sam nor Bobby. I knew Kripke is planning something huge by the next Season with that idea lingering on.

“All I’m saying…Sammy, all I’m saying is you’re my weak spot. And I’m yours”.
This killed me. Oh Dean!

And there's another heartbreaking moment... when they sang in the car. OMG! Tears just rolled out of my eyes when Sam looked at Dean singing and started singing, too. It should be like one of the best moments of the show although it's also one of the most heartbreaking ones. And when Sammy was already singing, pan to Dean's close up looking all nervous, afraid and I swear I felt lumps in my throat. I just couldn't take the pain so much.

Since I'm talking about hearbreaknig scenes. When the clock strikes 12am and Sam asking Dean what to do... Jeez! He's so hopeless and you could still see right through his hero worship. He wanted so much for Dean to say it's okay and that he's staying - yes, false hope, but I think Sam wanted to get some assurance. Then Dean saying take care of my wheels, and remember what they (him and their dad) taught him and to keep fighting. I wanted to hug them so badly. I wanted to reach out to my TV screen and tell Sam he won't be alone. OMG! (Come to think of it, I think I was way into these guys' fictional lives.)

The last scene, Sam crying. Yes, he's not all crazy and screaming and all that stuff but you can see right through his facial expression the pain he's in. The way he looks at Dean when Lilith opened the door and Dean's getting all ripped off. Watching Sam crying so painfully like that. I knew there was a reason why I am addicted to Supernatural.

Ha! I'm not finished just yet... Lemme comment on each one of them, too:

Jared/Sam - Fantastic! I think this is best ever SPN performance. He tore me up big time! I thought maybe when he's shooting the last scene with Dean, I think he was thinking of losing Jensen, too. And it did help, look at the way he cried. It was so real and he was so broken. He showed the world that he was indeed perfect as Sam.
Sam hesitating to kill a child even though he knew there's evil inside of her - that is Sam. Sam desperate enough to shake his dormant powers just to save Dean - that is also my Sammy. And Sam asking Dean what to do - oh his hero worship. All of these in one episode? I swear my respect Jared as an actor just sky rocketed.

Jensen/Dean - Dean showing signs of vulnerability killed me. He's the tough one, he always make sure that Sam is all right. But Dean asking Sam to keep fighting and that to take care of his wheels and looking so vulnerable. Jensen was just so great playing Dean in so many dimensions. And Dean screaming for Sam for help... if only I can do something...
Jim/Bobby - OMG! When he told the boys that family doesn't stop at blood? I love him! I was so scared that the Demons might get him. I hope I see him more in S4.

Katie/Ruby/Lilith - I do like Katie playing Ruby. I did like her playing Lilith better. No lectures, just kill. So sadistic! Hmmm... I actually find it hot that he kissed Sam. Katie and Jared kinda look good together. Oh, no! am I becoming a shipper here? But honestly, Ruby may have lied but her purpose is still unclear to me. Maybe she wanted Sam to become evil, or maybe she really wanted Lilith dead and maybe she was also part of Lilith's army sent to spy.
But either way, Katie will be back in Season 4. She's scheduled to start filming SPN in July. And good riddance Bela had been cleared! Thank you so much Kripke.

Gay, fantastic post! I loved reading it!

You're so right about everything being heartbreaking and yes, the acting was just soo great. Which of course means: lots of tears.

When I saw the clock and it was 12am, I just panicked. Oh my goodness, imagine what Sam and Dean felt!

[~CountryBumpkin~]

But either way, Katie will be back in Season 4. She's scheduled to start filming SPN in July.

This is awful news! I thought we'd at least get rid of KC's version of Ruby if we couldn't get rid of Ruby all togehter.
