True, but my money is on dead!Arresting Officer demon.

And hey, we have some GOOD screen caps out of this episode... The boys' "Wanted" posters up on the wall behind possessed!Groves and Henriksen's photo on the TV.... Plus CANON Spelling of his name!

I really think the show tends to kill characters off too precipitously. Gordon I'm finally beginning to accept, because while he presented a threat, they'd gone about as far as they could with his character. The only thing they could have done more with was leading a hunter crusade vs. Sam, and since his main buddy in that was Kubrick, and he was nut-bat insane (thank you, Victor!), I suspect that we're supposed to understand that Bobby (and Ellen? Where The Hell is Ellen?) have kept that particular line of pursuit to a minimum Still it was a shame to lose both Kubrick and Gordon in one go, even if they were one-notes by that point.

But losing Henriksen and Reidy.... Dammit. Henriksen was going to turn hunter! You could see it! He and Dean bonded! I liked him even when he was a "bad guy" because he was utterly convinced he was right, but *not* in the crazy, over-the-top crusader way of K and G, but in a rational, I have all the evidence, these two are a menace to society, way. He really believed, based on what he had to work with, that Dean and Sam were criminally insane. And he was SMART without making the boys DUMB.

Grrr.

Y'know the other thing that bugged me about this ep? His possession was SO pat. Not just as I said originally, in that it's the one thing that convinced him they were telling the truth, but in that in was a little sloppy. I assume it was the same demon that had possessed his boss, but it's not quite explained. Where and when did the possession occur? Between the freak-out session and...what? When was Henriksen vulnerable to it?

I want an explainer on that.

Part of me wants to meet Jefferson and/or Joshua, as presumably Meg didn't get to them because we didn't hear they are dead. But the other part of me *doesn't* want them introduced because then they'll just get killed off. Ellen and Bobby (and Jo) are the only good guys so far who've recurred and *not* died.
