Well that moved the story along. Should have guessed that it was Crowley. Rather surprised when he showed up. Makes sense though since souls are a valuable commodity for whatever reason. He want's the ones in Purgatory as well.
I'm guessing that Samuel is doing this in return for Mary. We know that John escaped Hell when they opened the doors, but what about Mary. I think Crowley is holding her soul hostage to force Samuel to do what he wants.
Really good episode.IMO always implied.

Originally posted by warrior_chic View PostI'll be back with my 2 cents later, but do we even know what happened to Mary's soul.

Right now I'm finding it interesting that Sam is the only Winchester NOT to make a deal, yet he ended up losing his soul anyway.sigpic

And I wouldn't trust Zac to tell the truth.
I just think she is the obvious choice to be holding over Samuel. And it would play quite nicely into the overall story in Supernatural, imo. Obviously I'm guessing here. I don't think he would be doing this just for the sake of saving himself.IMO always implied.

Imo, that basically nullifies that being her in "Home" based on what we've been told about what happens to peoples' souls who have made deals.

I disagree with you about Mary selling her soul, though. That demon didn't want her soul, he wanted permission to enter her house on the day of Sam's 6 month birthday. The YED in the guise of Samuel explained it to Dean in In the Beginning:
DEAN: So that's what this is about, these deals you're making, you don't want these people's souls.
YED: No, I just want their children. I'm here to choose the perfect parents, like your Mommy.
Anyway, really loved this episode. The twists and turns were great. But poor Sam, not only is his soul missing, and he has to work for a demon, now the Alpha vamp is after him as well - once Crowley is done with him - and wants to turn him into a 'perfect animal'.
I think what shocked me the most was Christian being shot - it was rather funny, because my kids and I had just talked about it that he wouldn't die, he'd been established as too much of a part of the story - when the shots fell. And then - BAM - he's there again with black eyes. Great surprise there.
And just for the record, I'm starting to change my mind about Gwen. Until this ep I couldn't wait for her to get killed off, but she started growing on me a bit this time. I'm just wondering if she's another Ruby. If Christian is a demon, why not Gwen as well? Maybe she just tries to get the boys' confidence to use it for her own or Crowley's gain.

I think the reason I didn't/don't like Gwen is just because they haven't really given her a personality/character. And what we have seen of her is just too snarky for me. But if they keep giving us little glimpses like when she was telling Dean she doesn't like getting left behind, I could probably grow to like her. God knows this show needs some women in it.
But I'm interested to see what the fallout will be for Christian. If he's been possessed for a while, is the person we've been seeing Christian with a demon hiding, or was it the demon. And if he should now be dead, will we get him back?
And Mary being in Purgatory makes sense. Maybe Crowley told Samuel he'd bring her back, or let her go to Heaven if he helped and got the boys to help. And we know he didn't like John all that much, but maybe he loves his grandsons enough to help Crowley if it means their parents' souls can be at rest. That last part might just be wishful thinking on my part though.sigpic

I still think she is involved though in whatever Crowley is holding over Samuel.

I guess I won't find time this week to write a little bit more, but there is just one thing I want to bring in: I was TOTALLY surprised, when Crowley appeared! That was a great move to keep Mark Sheppard out of the credits!
And in total I loved this episode with all its quirks and revelations and Cas and that family still matters. If this is a forecast of the whole season, then this one will be great with and despite all changes!! I just hope we won't get an easy solution with... everything. As lomg as there is a satisfying one.The cake is a lie!

Got a question for the masses: Since Crowley is good at posturing to get what he wants, which do you think is closer to his 'normal' personality- the guy we first met through the Apocalypse, or this new version? I personally like anything Mark Sheppard does, so I don't really think I care, but Crowley strikes me as a character that can do whatever amount of flip-flopping he needs to in order to get what he wants.sigpic
