Supernatural

Hook Man, Season One, Episode Seven, Written by: John Shiban

This episode begins with a couple making out in a car. The guy starts to take advantage of the girl when they hear something scratching on a nearby sign. The guy steps out to investigate. After waiting a few minutes, the girl, Lori, hears a thudding sound on the roof; she steps out of the car to find the boy hanging on the tree above the car’s roof.

            In the next scene, Sam and Dean are coming into town pretending to be college students. They find out where Lori is and go to talk to her. She tells them that the police do not believe her because she says that the murderer was invisible. This, and the fact that the boy was hanging dead from a tree, led Sam and Dean to the conclusion that the murderer is the Hook Man, because the Hook Man is known for hanging his victims. Later, Lori goes up to her room to find her roommate, a party girl, asleep; when Lori wakes up the following morning, her roommate is dead in her bed. Sam and Dean go to the room to investigate and try to find a connection between the two murders. That same evening, Lori finds out her father, a minister, is sleeping with a married woman. After a heated argument between Lori and her father, the Hook Man comes and tries to kill the father. At this point, Sam and Dean are certain that the Hook Man is connected with Lori and that he is punishing everyone Lori thinks is doing something wrong.

            Sam and Dean discover that the only way to kill the Hook Man is to burn his hook. The next evening, Sam finds Lori in the church where they are looking for the hook.  Lori has made the connection that she is somehow to blame for these murders. She therefore believes that she should be punished, and the Hook Man will be happy to take care of that by killing her, too.  The Hook Man corners Sam and Lori, but Dean finds the hook at the last minute and throws it in the fire. The Hook Man burns along with his hook.

Comments:

-I like this episode because the creators dug up a really old and famous ghost story that had been forgotten about, and they made it more modern.

-The beginning of the episode was very stereotypical - a guy and a girl in a car making out.  That doesn’t happen very often in Supernatural.  I found it funny how the creators did something so out of character.

-A final reason to love this episode, although it wasn’t central to the plot, is that Sam and Lori kissed!  Remember, since the first episode when Jess died, Sam hasn’t been in a romantic relationship.
