Supernatural Episode 5 Phantom Traveler

Episode 5 Phantom Traveler
A nervous airplane passenger at an airport goes into the restroom, unaware a shadowy form is oozing out of a nearby air vent. He finally notices it as it enters his eyes. On the plane, the passenger boards and is much more relaxed…and has solid black eyes. A stewardess notices but dismisses it. Later on the flight, the passenger gets up and goes to the boarding hatch and as a teenager looks on, opens it and is sucked outside as the airplane goes into a nosedive

Dean wakes up Sam and they discuss their dreams. They’re interrupted by Dean getting a call from Jerry, someone he and his dad helped out who has a new problem, and asks for a personal meeting. Jerry is an airplane inspector who plays back the cockpit recorder of the crashed plane. Only seven people survived the crash, including the pilot, and they haven’t been able to account for the crash cause. Dean forges them some Homeland Security ID and they go over the recording – they find voices on the tape saying, “No survivors.”

They talk to the one of the survivors, a local named Max Jaffee, who was the one who saw the man open the hatch. After some prodding he reveals he saw the passenger with the black eyes, but he checked and there was no way he could have opened the hatch against the pressure. They go to the house of the passenger, George Phelps, and talk to the widow, but she doesn’t tell them anything suspicious. After buying some suits, they go into the warehouse with the wreckage. Dean uses an EM meter to track signals and find the emergency door handle covered in some black powder. Unfortunately the real homeland security team inspectors show up and the brothers are forced to make a run for it and just get ahead.

The brothers’ contact figure the powder is a sulphur residue and concludes demonic possession is involved. The surviving pilot of the first crash, Chuck Lambert, is possessed by the same black force and takes his plane into a sky dive.

Sam figures that in many legends demons are responsible for disasters, but Dean is reluctant to investigate as it’s outside their usual gig. They here about the crash from their contact and go to investigate, and find traces of sulphur again. They also determine both flights went down 40 minutes into the flight, and there have been six other flights over the last decade. The brothers figure the demon is killing the remaining survivors and they track down the flight attendant, Amanda Walker. They can’t get hold of her and she’s planning on taking a new flight up. After a long drive they get to the airport with 30 minutes to spare and call Amanda. Dean claims to be a doctor calling for her mother Karen but she catches on and thinks Dean is calling on behalf of her old boyfriend. She buys it but still goes on the flight while the demon hovers in the background. Sam figures they have no choice but to go on the flight and exercise the demon, but Dean has a fear of flying. He reluctantly goes along and the plane takes off with them on-board.
