Ever since her introduction earlier in the season, the character of Jo has generated a great deal of controversy. Despite calls for patience from the writers and producers, fans have quickly begun pointing to Jo as the weak link of the season, an unnecessary complication. This episode, however, is the first time that Jo has been in the spotlight. How did Jo stand up under scrutiny?
sn26a As it turns out, fans had little to worry about. Jo and Dean may be attracted to each other in a general sense, but only enough to make the animosity that must now exist a bit more potent. It was quite clear, starting with the first act, that Jo wasn’t going to be Dean’s latest love conquest. She’s not mature enough for that. They quickly fell into a big brother/little sister routine, something that made the final scene far more painful.
In fact, my initial suspicion was that Jo’s real father was John Winchester, so I’m glad that the writers took it in a more adversarial direction. It would have been too easy for Jo to be the latest addition to the Winchester Gang, and far too distracting as well.
