Episode Goofs
When in Meredith's apartment, Dean traces out a symbol by connecting blood splatter dots with tape. With all the combinations possible of connections between the dots, not to mention the splatters that he ignores, how did Dean come up with the symbol that he did?
What is the significance of the splatters spelling out the Zoroastrian symbol? They were created by Meredith's blood as she was killed. Therefore the symbol couldn't have been used to summon the deva, since it only was there after Meredith was killed.
