Supernatural: The Magnificent Seven

When the gates to Hell open, seven of the demons take up shop in Lincoln, Nebraska, and start a string of bizarre killings. Two hunters, Tamara and Isaac, help Sam and Dean take care of the demons, but soon find they're being hunted as well. A mysterious blonde woman with a mystic knife also comes to their aid, but it's not clear who she's working for.

Recap

Oak Park, IL resident Walter Rosen takes his garbage out to the curb and glances enviously at his neighbor’s car for a few seconds. Then he puts the garbage in the can… and the can starts to vibrate. A black cloud passes overhead and a single streamer shoots down and enters his mouth. Walter collapses to the ground and then gets back up… his eyes solid black. Overhead, the black cloud moves on...

Episode Quotes
Bobby: So, we're eating bacon cheeseburgers for breakfast, are we?
Dean: Well, sold my soul. Got a year to live. I ain't sweatin' the cholesterol.

Sam: I've been bending over backwards trying to be nice to you, and I don't care anymore.
Dean: Well, that didn't last long.

Sam: Who the hell are you?!
Ruby: I'm the girl that just saved your ass.



Cultural References
The episode takes its title from the 1960 movie The Magnificent Seven. Itself loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, the film told the story of how a village hired seven gunfighters to defend it against villains. Of course, the episode turns this around, for the seven here are anything but benevolent.

When Dean and Sam go to the crime scene outside the shoe store, you can hear a CSI tech call out, "You'd better get Grissom."

Referencing Gil Grissom, from the series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which airs opposite Supernatural on CBS. Grissom is played by William Petersen.

Dean quotes the movie Se7en when Bobby tells him who they're up against. Se7en pitted detectives David Mills (Brad Pitt) and Bill Somerset (Morgan Freeman) against a twisted serial killer whose motif was the seven deadly sins: each of his victims died in a manner suggestive of one of these sins. The killer, Joe Doe, was a relatively early Kevin Spacey character.
