Dean Winchester | Season Three


Running from Hellhounds in his dream
In the third season premiere "The Magnificent Seven", Dean makes the best of his last year, not worrying about his safety, while Sam tries desperately to find a loophole in the Crossroad Demon's deal. While investigating a case with a family who apparently dehydrated in minutes, Dean, Sam, and Bobby team up with a pair of hunters, Tamara and Isaac. They soon realize they are fighting the "Seven Deadly Sins" when Isaac is killed by Gluttony, leaving the Winchesters, Bobby, and Tamara to fight the centuries-old demons. When one of the demons, Wrath, takes over Isaac's corpse and tortures Tamara with old memories, we learn that the couple had begun hunting when their daughter was killed by something supernatural. Tamara, unable to listen any more, rushes out the door, wiping away the salt. As Tamara beats the possessed Isaac, the waiting demons rush in to begin battle with the brothers and Bobby.

In "The Kids Are Alright", Dean meets up with Lisa, an old "acquaintance" from almost eight years prior, and finds out she has an eight year-old son, Ben, who seems to possess many of Dean's characteristics, from his love of classic rock to his speech and love of the ladies. While Dean is questioning whether this is his son or not, Sam meets the mysterious blonde, Ruby, again who gives him the hint to search for the people his mother used to know. The brothers figure out that the kids are changelings and defeat the mother changeling. Dean is put at ease by Lisa, who assures him that Ben isn't his son, though he is somewhat disappointed. Meanwhile, Sam finds out that Ruby is a demon.

In "Malleus Maleficarum" Sam and Dean encounter three witches and get a little help from Ruby. They also learn that she used to be human, as were all the demons they've encountered. Dean also learns from Ruby that he can't escape his fate of dying in a year's time and becoming a demon himself. Dean must now train Sam to fight demons once he is gone.

In "Dream a Little Dream of Me", Bobby Singer falls into a coma, and Sam and Dean investigate the murder of a scientist. They end up trapped in Bobby's dream. Dean meets a nightmare version of himself that taunts him, saying that John Winchester doted on Sam, but only thought of Dean as a tool. After waking up, Dean admits to Sam that he doesn't want to die. Meanwhile, Bela steals the Colt.

In "Mystery Spot", Sam is forced to relive a Tuesday where Dean dies a different way each day. Sam realizes that the culprit is the Trickster, a villain from Season 2. It finally becomes Wednesday, but this time Dean dies and doesn't come back. Sam spends months trying to hunt down the Trickster, who reveals that he's trying to get Sam to understand that he and Dean can't keep making sacrifices for each other. The Trickster then sends Sam back to Wednesday.

In "Jus In Bello", the FBI and Agent Henricksen are able to capture Sam and Dean, thanks to a tip from Bela. While Sam and Dean are in jail, a host of demons come to kill them. Ruby comes to help them, but is furious to find out they have lost the Colt. She says that she knows of a spell that will kill all the demons nearby, including herself, and that she is willing to die in order to help Sam. However, they will need the heart of a virgin. Sam and the virgin, Nancy, agree to the plan, but Dean refuses to let her die. Dean's plan to exorcise the demons works, but the police station is blown up by Lilith. Lilith, who takes the form of a little girl, is bent on killing Sam.

Dean continues to search for a means to stop his fate, but ultimately is told by Ruby that there is no way to prevent him from becoming a demon. After a 'conversation' with an image of his future 'demon form', Dean becomes more depressed. Shortly before the deadline expires on Dean's contract, he learns that Lilith, the demon pursuing Sam holds his contract.

Dean and Sam confront Lilith and her demon forces in a last ditch effort to protect Sam and save Dean's soul. Ruby appears and the three are chased into a room by a hellhound who has come for Dean. Dean quickly recognizes that she is being possessed by Lilith, but she incapacitates them. She then opens the door for the hellhound, which proceeds to tear Dean apart in front of the horrified Sam. Sam manages to regain control and recover the knife, but Lilith leaves Ruby's host's body before he can stab her. Sam then cradles Dean's bloody and lifeless body as he begins to cry. In the last scene of the season, Dean is shown in Hell, suspended in a hellish void by seemingly endless chains and hooks through his flesh, crying out in agony for Sam's help.
