Supernatural 1.05 - Sam Winchester

Show: Supernatural

Episode: S1E05, "Bloody Mary"

Character: Sam Winchester

Whump Factor: 1

"Bloody Mary" follows the Winchester brothers in their hunt for the titular urban legend, who is killing people with dark secrets in a small town.

Throughout the episode, Sam has nightmares about the death of his girlfriend, Jessica. When the brothers realize the only way to destroy Mary is to trap her in her mirror and smash it, Sam quickly volunteers, revealing to Dean that he has a dark secret about Jessica's death he has withheld from Dean.

The final confrontation between Sam and Mary is disturbing; Mary's method of killing is to "claw" the victim's eyes out - in reality, victims begin to cry tears of blood. Sam collapses to the floor in pain while Mary taunts him; apparently, Sam is psychic and foresaw Jessica's death, but disregarded his visions as nightmares and was thus indirectly responsible for Jessica's death. Dean smashes the mirror and rescues him. Briefly, Mary maintains a hold over both brothers, but they quickly defeat her.

The end of the episode sees both Winchesters apparently unharmed and moving on to another hunt.
