Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Season 3, Episode 9:

Malleus Maleficarum

Sam and Dean investigate a series of deaths that turn out to be caused by a coven of witches. It is revealed that one of the witches is actually the demon to whom they sold their souls. Ruby shows up, and they use her knife to kill the demon.

Tropes

  • Big Damn Heroes: Ruby, twice.
  • Black Eyes of Evil
  • The Corrupter: The demon possessing Tammi turns a group of innocent women into witches and damns their souls to Hell, just like it did to Ruby in the 1300s.
  • Deal with the Devil
  • Force Feeding: Ruby saves Dean's life from a curse by making him drink a potion; Dean complains that it tastes like ass.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Apparently, Heather Mosby is into witchcraft now.
  • Les Yay: Ruby and Tammi, who is possessed by Ruby's demonic mentor. You know the scene.
  • Squick: The woman's teeth falling out in the teaser, the maggots in the burger, the dead rabbit...
  • Was Once a Man: Turns out, all demons used to be human, and Hell stripped them of their humanity.
  • Wicked Witch: Not necessarily. Although one of the coven did kill someone, the rest didn't seem that bad. They only used witchcraft for personal gain and were horrified to realize they had sold their souls to an actual demon. One of them - Elizabeth - even helps distract and kill the demon although it costs her her life.
