Supernatural: Salvation

Meg (Nicki Aycox) is back - the psycho cutie cultist/demonette from Shadow and Scarecrow - and she wants the Winchester's new artifact (Samuel Colt's magic gun and its four remaining bullets, from Dead Man's Blood) before they can use it to slay her master.

Having decided, finally, at the end of the last episode that they work better as a trio, John Winchester (the wonderfully gruff and grizzled Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his boys compare notes and look for signs of particular demonic activity.

As the Winchester's close in on a strong lead to the demon (and Sam's prophetic nightmare migraine's return), Meg begins bumping off John Winchester's contacts - starting with Pastor Jim (name checked, but never seen before in the flesh) - and threatens to murder many more unless John hands over the Colt.

John goes to face Meg - with a 'replacement' Colt - while the brothers move to save a young family from attack, armed with the real Colt, by the yellow-eyed demon, whose face we see for the first time in this episode.

Not surprisingly, John's insane plan to bluff the junior league demon goes pear shaped and the episode ends with a terrifying "to be continued..." cliffhanger.

Salvation is a real breathless, edge-of-the-seat script, as the Season builts to its conclusion in the next episode and the final showdown between the Winchesters and the demon they have been tracking all their lives.

Will the three last 'magic' bullets be enough? Who will live? Who will die? Find out tomorrow in Devil's Trap, the Season One finale of Supernatural.
