Season two seems to be getting even better than season one with another strong episode following the premier. A week after John's death, The boys are still staying at Bobby's. Dean is burying himself in fixing the Impala, refusing to talk about John and suffering under the crushing weight John's last words had laid on his shoulders. While Sam who is lost in a world where his father is not there any more and Dean is acting in a yet scary way. Sam is obviously broken up about John's death but is more concerned about Dean. When they find a voice mail on John's phone from a strange woman claiming to know how to help John with something. The boys head to the "Raodhouse" a bar where hunters hang out and the boys are introduced to a world they never knew it existed. They meet Ellen a female hunter running the bar and her daughter Jo who is clearly interested in Dean. But Dean declines stating it's "the wrong time wrong place". Ellen tells the boys she can help finding The Yellow Eyed Daemon and introduces them to smart but funny looking Ash. While waiting for Ash to do his research, The boys take up a job where a clown uses children as access to feed on their parents. Dean is taking his anger out on Sam who seems all of a sudden concerned with what John would have wanted. So Sam finally confesses to Dean that he feels guilty for the way he was with John and expresses to him how much he misses his father, Telling Dean that he is not all right but neither is Dean. Dean clearly affected by Sam's words embarks in an episode of rage taking it out on the poor Impala in a heartbreaking scene.

My favourite scene is when Sam and Dean where looking for Mr. Cooper, Dean is misunderstood by the blind and the short guys while Sam is enjoying the whole thing.

It was nice to figure out that Sam is afraid of clowns, it just gives another layer to his character. And I liked Dean picking on him. I also like the final scene where Dean gets scary angry creating a dent in his precious Impala (to Dean the Impala is a reflection of John and he takes out his anger on it because he is angry with John who died and left him and Sam alone, angry with John who laid down the crushing weight on his shoulders without further explaining, angry with John because deep down he knew that John had done some deal to die in his place).

A excellent job introducing new characters on the show. The whole cast did a pretty awesome job. Jensen was amazing as always. Jared did a fine job, he especially portrayed Sam's fear towards clowns in a very nice yet convincing way. The supporting cast were no less. I'm looking forward to seeing Ellen, Jo and Ash again.
