Official Score = 3 Devils[/caption]Written by: Eric Kripke (Revolution), Ron Milbauer (Alphas), Terri Hughes (Idle Hands) & Directed by: David Nutter (The X-Files). Starring: Jensen Ackles (Dark Angel), Jared Padalecki (Friday The 13th), Gina Holden (Fantastic Four), Alden Ehrenreich (Stoker) & Graham Wardle (Mon Ami).
This episode of Supernatural, as it happens, takes place only a short time after the events that took place in the pilot episode, Sam (Jared Padalecki) & Dean (Jensen Ackles), are now hunting regularly together, with Sam still having some gruesome nightmares about the aftermath of the death of the love of his life in the same gruesome fashion that ended up killing his mother, and has left School!
During this time they are heading to a really small town in Colorado, a town called, 'Black Water Ridge', because that is where the coordinates that their father had sent them to... In the process they come to discover that a woman by the name of, 'Haley Collins' (Gina Holden) and her little brother, 'Ben' (Ehrenreich) are looking for their brother, who had disappeared recently in the woods that surround the town...

And so despite Sam's protests, Dean assumes that this is why his father sent the 2 brothers to this small town and decides to have the two of them start investigating, so that they could find out, 'what goes bump in the night' that they are going to have to kill to be able to stop the threat to the town, and also hopefully to help Haley and her brother and get him to safety!
In the end, I found this episode to be dramatically more satisfying... I mean the pilot had a lot of hope for it and it was alright but it had that, (Jersey Shore) mentality to it, (and what I mean by this is that it felt like to me like the first episode was overcompensating when trying to be a cool episode... And this episode rested on the laurels of being a naturally good, if not, (dare I say, 'organic'... And yes I am little scared myself right now), episode, utilizing everything that just makes a good episode of a TV show a good episode of a TV show, and in my opinion (albeit not the greatest episode of the series), was the episode that help set the tone, and quality of the series!
