Opening Thoughts: So, um, is Bobby dead or what? I'd really like to know...Open on what appears to be a prostitute picking somebody up outside a diner. A guy who seems like a hunter follows the pro and her john out. Looks like he's got a machete on his belt, which as we all know means vampires. In the parking lot, the waitress from the diner follows the hunter. I think she's a vampire too. She dosed him with something. The guy passes out.
"Week One"? What is "Week One"? No, not week one without Bobby! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I'm gonna cry, right in front of my whole family. Okay, focus. Lots of Sam and Dean just sitting. "Week Two": Dean stares at Bobby's numbers; Sam reads (Bobby's?) journal. "Week Three": The boys get off their duffs and do something. Sam wonders if they should tell people Bobby knew. Dean doesn't think it's their job; he says Sam can go right ahead. Sam doesn't want to call anyone either. They get a phone call from what sounds like a young girl asking for Bobby. She says her dad asked her to call Bobby. Sam says Bobby's not there, and the girl hangs up. Sam thinks she's a hunter's kid, and that they should go check on her. Dean wants to see Frank, who's been working on Bobby's numbers. Aww Dean, I don't like the reminders about Bobby being dead! Oh jeez, Dean's totally an alcoholic. Has been for at least the last 2 seasons, IMO. Dean accuses Sam of drinking his beer, but Sam says he didn't. Then who the hell did? Bobby's ghost, maybe? The boys split up: Sam to see the girl, and Dean to see Frank.
Sam follows his Caller ID to find the girl. He tells the girl that Bobby's dead. We find out her name's Krissy. She lets Sam into the apartment. Krissy asks if Sam is a salesman too; he says yes. She says her dad's been gone for 5 days. Sam tells Krissy he'll help track her dad down. Krissy shows Sam to her father's desk, where he finds nothing. He checks the second best hunter's hiding place - the closet - and finds everything. He gets a lead from the articles tacked to the walls. Sam gives Krissy his number and leaves.
Dean pulls up to Frank's place, still not driving the Impala (sadness). Frank pulls a gun on him, thinking Dean's a Leviathan.
Back from commercials, and Frank's still pointing a gun at Dean. He's gone off his rocker; he thinks Gwenyth Paltrow is a Leviathan. Dean offers to show blood to prove he's human. Frank moves to blast Dean's feet with the shotgun. Dean cuts his arm and bleeds red, like we all knew he would. Love how he just pulled his sleeve down over an open wound like that. He makes Frank prove it as well.
They take the Im-poster out to a barn, where there's some kind of geeked-out trailer. Frank says it's because the Leviathans are watching him. Frank's also losing track of time. Dean gets pissed due to the lack of progress, saying Dick Roman is "every card in my hit deck". Mine too Dean, mine too. Frank continues to be useless, until Dean threatens to leave. Only then does he offer the fact that they may be missing a number. There should have been 6 numbers, which make coordinates leading to a field in Wisconsin. A field recently purchased by a subsidiary of Dick Roman's company. Frank suggests they set up surveillance.
Cut to a body being rolled out of a body locker. It's a trucker, minus five pints of his blood. Looks like vampires to me. The boys compare notes via telephone. Dean and Frank drive out to the field dressed as electric company workers. For the love of all that's holy Dean, please don't touch the wires! Through some binoculars, Frank spies cameras surrounding the plot of land. He suggests they hack the cameras. Back in Frank's trailer, they start watching the screens. Dean falls asleep and misses Sam's call about what they're hunting: a Vetala, something kind of like a vampire, but not really.
Sam goes to the diner and starts flashing Krissy's dad's photo, unaware that she's a Vetala. This can only end badly. The waitress points him out to the "pro" in the parking lot, who wants to take Sam somewhere more private. Don't do it, Sammy! Sally starts to give him the scared act when the waitress attacks. Sam tells Sally to run, only to realize she's a Vetala too. They overpower Sam, and Sally bites him and knocks him out.
Back to Dean sleeping (very adorably, I might add) in Frank's trailer. Frank tells him he slept for about 36 hours. Frank's found something on the footage. They see a woman - Amanda Willer - in the field. She works for Dick Roman, and was surveying the field. The Leviathans are getting ready to build something. Dean and Frank insult each other for a while before Dean gets deep for 2 seconds then resorts to "screw you". Frank says quit, maybe just to piss Dean off. Then we get Frank's hunter story about his dead family, because every hunter has one of those. Frank then suggests that Dean fake happiness, or at least a smile. Dean FINALLY gets Sam's voicemail. He says Sam is wrong. Krissy calls Dean, saying she hasn't heard from Sam.
Cut to Sam, who's tied up in a warehouse with Krissy's dad Lee. Sam realizes they've been draining Lee slowly, and he probably doesn't have much time left. Lee says they've fed on him 3 times, and most people die after 4 or 5.
Dean goes to meet Krissy. He tells her to go wait in the living room while he looks for dad's hunting gear. Krissy cops an attitude and waits in the doorway. All that's left in the closet is the corner of a map. Apparently Krissy knows more about hunting than she initially let on. Dean gets cross with her, and she pulls a gun on him. Girl's got abandonment issues. She demands to go with Dean or she'll shoot him. Dean easily snatches the gun from her. He tells her to hand the stuff over. Krissy says she burned it, but she has it all memorized. In the car, Krissy pesters Dean. He tells her to shut up and "eat a cookie or something". Krissy puts her headphones on for all of 2 seconds before pulling them off to ask Dean how the Vetala got both her father and Sam. Dean says it's because they assumed the Vetala hunt alone, and that he hunted one that turned out to be two. Krissy gets pissy and asks why Dean didn't tell Sam. Dean says it's because Sam was at college, and that Krissy could go to college too.
Back at the warehouse, Slutty Sally walks in. She moves to drain Lee again, but Sam distracts her with a fabricated tale of some Vetalas he "took down in Utah". Enraged, Sally feeds on him instead.
Cut to Dean and Krissy sitting in the diner parking lot. He asks if she's ever hunted with her father; her response indicates a no. The ever-annoying Krissy tries to act tough, but Dean knows she's scared. She's still being obnoxious as hell. They see a waitress - the Vetala waitress - getting into the front of a truck. They follow her. Dean tries for a fist bump, umm what? Oh wait, it was just a ruse to handcuff Krissy to the steering wheel. She says Lee and Sam are probably dead, and we get her sob story about watching her mom die. Krissy continues to be really annoying. Dean makes her turn over her lockpick and goes into the warehouse. Somehow I feel like that's not going to stop her...
Inside the warehouse, Sally asks the waitress if she wants to finish Lee off. Dean whacks Sally with a pipe, but the waitress comes after him. He has the knife to her neck when stupid-ass Krissy runs in and gets herself nabbed by Sally. Come on Dean, just let Sally kill her! Oh wait, I'm not supposed to say that, am I? Well, too bad. I don't like her. Not one friggin' bit.
Sally demands that Dean drop the knife. Unfortunately he does it, asking them to let Krissy go. Why bother? Hey Krissy, scared now? The waitress starts to feed on Lee; Krissy begs for help. Sally says no one can help her, but then Krissy stabs Sally. Dean frees Sam, who stabs the waitress.
Cut to a hospital, where Lee is fortunately still alive. I say fortunately because that means the boys won't be saddle with the most annoying kid ever. Dean tells Lee that he should stop hunting and let Krissy be a normal kid. My dad just commented that Lee looks like Charles Manson; he kind of does...Lee asks if the boys have anyone left. Dean says they all die.
Outside, Krissy continues to be obnoxious as all hell. Amid all the stupid ass "banter" she says she's retiring from hunting and maybe she'll go to Stanford. Got that grades for that sweetheart? Somehow I doubt it. Hopefully this is the last we see of this girl...
Sam and Dean drive back to the cabin, I assume. Dean says it was nice to leave a family and think they might be okay. He asks if Sam is. Sam say's he's definitely not, but maybe he just needs to work. Dean takes Frank's advice and pretends to be fine. He says they just need to find a way to kick Dick Roman's ass. Dean turns on the radio, and Sam goes to sleep. 2 sleeping Winchesters in this episode? How cute! Dean practices his fake smile.
Final Thoughts: If I ever see Krissy again, it'll be too fucking soon. Honestly not the best episode as far as I'm concerned. I do think this was one of the very few times I've been disappointed with an episode.
Next Time: 1944!!!!!!! I've been waiting all season for this episode! Wait, does this mean Cas is coming back to zap them back in time?! I can't wait!
