Dean gasps out and tells Ruby that if she wants to kill him—the bitch has to get in line. Ruby grabs Dean’s face, forces his jaw open and Dean gags and struggles as Ruby lifes up a small leather plagon and squeezes a thick amount of liquid hell into Dean’s mouth. Dean gurgles, forced to choke it down, then Ruby drops him to the floor as she tells Dean to stop calling her a bitch.
Int. Renee’s House—Night
Sam studies the panicking women. Elizabeth tells him they aren’t killing anybody. And Renee adds that they don’t even know his brother. Sam marches closer, gun up. He yells for the women to shut up. They know Dean so call the spell off.
The women start screaming and Tammi lifts up two clutched handfuls of banking documents, shakes them up at Sam. She tells him not to kill them, they are just trying to get Renee a lower mortgage rate.
Int. Motel Room—Night
Dean is slowly recovering, barely managing to get up on one knee. He drags a sleeve across his mouth and watches as Ruby rifles through one of their duffle bags. She tells Dean that next time he points that gun at her, she’s not going to just disappear. Dean croaks out that it’s a date and staggers to his feet, still coughing a bit as he tries to get the taste of whatever the hell Ruby dumped down his throat, realizing in distaste that she saved his life.
Ruby tells him not to mention it, and when Dean ask how, she merely shoves one of their shotguns into his hands. She informs Dean that she knows a thing or two about witchcraft and then turns and walks out. Dean’s still weak but follows her out the room—its been a long night.
Int. Renee’s house—Night
The women’s protests are sincere, and Sam nods, teeth grit. He agrees that maybe it isn’t Renee or Elizabeth. But he swings the gun over to Tammi and states that maybe its her. Tammi now cries at Sam’s gun point, convincingly a mix of fear and confusion. She says that she doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Sam states that everyone in the coven all have had runs of good, news worthy fortune. Everyone—except Tammi. And why is that? Didn’t she want anything for herself? Or was she already getting what she wanted---these women’s souls?
Tammi gives the quivering human about to die one more shot as she stammers through sobs but when Sam shakes his head in certainty, Tammi knows he ain’t buying it and she sighs, eyes turning black.
She tells Sam he did some good work. Sam orders her to let his brother go, and Tammi gives him a compassionate look but tells Sam that she’s sorry, but Dean’s lungs have got to be on the floor by now.
With a slight nod, Sam fires the Colt. The bullets screams through the air, its target Tammi’s head, but she raises her hand and the bullet freezes in mid-air. Demon!Tammi smiles as she tells Sam he’s in a lot of trouble.
Int. Renee’s House—Night
Tammi nods and Sam sails back, pressed against a wall by a wave of demonic force, arms and legs pinned by it. (Okay so what’s this? Four times for Sammy? lol) Elizabeth and Renee are freaking out and Elizabeth asks Tammi what’s wrong with her, and her eyes…
Renee gets up, the last remnants of her type A personality still trying to rule over the situation. She orders Tammi to stop, to which Tammi tells her to shut her pie hole. Tammi turns away, and Renee grabs her shoulder and tells Tammi she won’t and definitely not in her house will Tammi Benton do this kind of thing. Tammi ain’t all to thrilled with Renee’s touch seeing as demon!Tammi has had to spend months in the same vicinity as her.
Renee continues saying that she won’t tolerate this and with a sigh, Tammi raises her hands, doing a casual pantomime twisting action. Renee’s head spins backward with a crack and she drops like a bag of bricks.
Elizabeth screams and Sam struggles against demon!Tammi’s TK hold, its no use, the boy can’t even speak. Elizabeth is hysterically shrieking and sobbing and Tammi turns to her, shushing her and telling Elizabeth not to make her do it again. It being neck-cracking drop dead action, I’m sure.
Elizabeth asks who Tammi is and Tammi chuckles and says it’s a funny story actually. She asks if Elizabeth remembers praying to the Master—to Astaroth? When they asked him for power, and influence and swore their servitude. There’s a beat, then Tammi asks just who does Elizabeth think Astaroth is?
Elizabeth is sobbing in terror, and Tammi presses, taunting as she inquires if Elizabeth thought this was make-believe, just hocus pocus. She tells Elizabeth that she sold herself, and all Demon!Tammi had to do was bring one good book to the Book Club and the ladies just lined up to kiss her ass and use her power.
Elizabeth pleads weakly, and says that they didn’t know. Tammi snarls and counters that they did know. They knew it was wrong, every step of the way, and now their souls are hers. Tammi turns to Sam and brightly asks if he has any comments, or questions. She makes a small gesture freeing Sam to speak, although he’s still frozen a foot or two off the ground.
Sam states that he’s going to kill her. Tammi is amused and ask Sam, him and what army? Sam struggles but its to no point, and Tammi goes on saying that wow, Sam Winchester right here in their little town, and how a lot of her friends have been looking for him.
Sam’s fed up and tells Tammi that whatever he was supposed to become, whatever the destiny was, it’s over. He’s never going to fight on her side, and he’ll never lead them either.
Tammi is a bit surprised and asks if Sam thinks she was with the YED and his clan. She calls Sam a poor imbecile because oh no. There’s more than one flag flying down in Hell. And more than one would-be king…She beckons Sam and he slides forward, closing the distance between them.
There’s reverence in her voice as she continues. She tells Sam that there’s a new king, rising in the west. And she serves that master. She laughs and says that while it sounds goofy, but she gets like that when she talks about him because he is the real leader that is going to tear this world apart.
Sam icily promises that they are going to stop him—they are going to destroy all of them. Tammi is un-phased and tells Sam that this new leader knows about him, and frankly doesn’t want the competition.
She waves her hand, dismissing and Sam sails back, slamming into the wall hard. He falls to the floor, breathless and groggy. Tammi smiles and tells him goodbye.
Tammi is all set to drop to the kill, but her eyes narrow as she senses something behind her and turns to see the last ‘person’ she should suspect. Its Ruby, standing to the side of Dean, shotgun in one hand, holy water in the other. Tammi waves her hand and Dean is sidewiped by force, and sent into the wall.
Ruby raises her hands, edging forward and tells Tammi that she just came to talk. Demon!Tammi asks rhetoricaly if Ruby made it out the gate, and when Ruby nods, she tells her that’s impressive…and comments that it was a bitch of a fight, now, wasn’t it?
Ruby agrees and says that the doors of Hell only open for so long. Tammi says that if Ruby wants to talk, she could just send her back to Hell and then call her in a few days. Ruby takes a bold step forward, asking for mercy, Tammi moves in, black eyes staring deep into Ruby’s searching for possible betrayal.
Ruby greets Astaroth, calling her master, and says that she knows she screwed Astaroth over, but she was hoping a couple hundred years would put that behind them. She wants to be taken back…please.
As they circle each other, tension is evident. Ruby turns to the boys and states that’s why she brought her the Winchesters—as a gift. Tammi is interestingly impressed. Now that they are in close quarters with Tammi focused on her eyes, Ruby slips a hand back to find the Demon-killing knife tucked under her jacket.
She tells Tammi to let her serve again, she’s been so lost—and has only wanted it for so long. Tammi states that in a way, Ruby was one of her best. Then, Ruby strikes, the knife flashing down at Tammi.
Tammi grabs the knife by the blade, her blood searing against it. She then states that then again, Ruby always was a lying whore. Tammi tosses the knife a way. Ruby hisses, and Tammi hisses right back as they lunge at each other—supernaturally fast.
Tammi smashes her forehead into Ruby’s face, throwing her head back, then slams her back against the fireplace. There’s a loud crack as the stone crumbles under the impact. Tammi leans a shoulder into Ruby, hammering body blows into her ribs. As the battle rages, we see Elizabeth back away and run.
Pinned, Ruby hisses, lunges and sinks her teeth into Tammi’s neck and starts tearing into it. Tammi shrieks and she swings Ruby off her, sending her sailing across the room. Ruby smashes into the entertainment center and Tammi picks up a fireplace poker, heading straight for her.
Battered, Ruby goes down on all fours and Tammi kicks her in the head. Ruby lands on her back and Tammi says that she is a loser, considering that Ruby threw in her chips with Abbot and Costello. Tammi stops on Ruby’s throat, as Ruby gasps and gags, and Tammi hauls her up by her hair.
She tells Ruby that they been here before, and catches Sam’s eye asking why she didn’t tell him, but then again she guesses its shameful seeing as Ruby was one of hers a long long time ago. Ruby was a witch, a greasy pig just like them, ‘human’.
Tammi tosses her back to the ground and taunts that Ruby didn’t want her ‘friends’ to know…that she was seduced. Centuries back. Demon!Tammi shrugs and states that she guesses its embarrassing. But tells Ruby not to worry, there’s no secrets where she’s headed.
Tammi crouches, lays a hand on Ruby’s face and starts a wordless exorcism, drawing the demon from Ruby’s human form.
Sam’s barely conscious, but sees Ruby’s dagger, but then Tammi coughs, just a little one at first, but it’s the first involuntary anything the demon!Tammi has ever done. She rears back, looking puzzled and then coughs again. Again and again, finally coughing up a bloody straight pin. She pulls it form her mouth—stunned.
Int. Renee’s House—Her Sanctum—Night
Elizabeth kneels before an altar, spell casting a feverish ritual, a pile of straight pins on the altar cloth.
Int. Renee’s house—Living Room—Night
Tammi half-smiles, almost impressed. Then she snaps her fingers.
Int. Renees’ House—Her Sanctum—Night
Mid-chant, Elizabeth simply falls back, dead, and eyes wide.
Int. Renee’s house—Living Room—Night
Tammi wipes blood from her mouth and turns back to Ruby---but Sam is there, beaten and bloody. He drives Ruby’s knife under Tammi’s ribs. She gasps and he stabs her again, and again, and again. She goes down. Sam on top of her, until the demon’s essence sparks and crackles into nothingness.
Dean watches the exchange grimly as Sam rolls away, spent.
