I really enjoyed this story and your notes at the end. It can't be easy to write a story from the pov of a character who doesn't believe in the supernatural and try to explain items but most of them can't be explained away without thinking someone is playing a nasty joke, and even that can't explain everything.

Jessica is a fleshed out character and contradictory as most people are. She doesn't react positively to people who believe strongly in the supernatural, to the point where she has to reign in her own responses. Yet, she expects Sam to have told her this information. She wouldn't have believed it and probably would have done something stupid to try to prove he was wrong or making it up. I am surprised that he and Dean let her storm off after her fight with Sam because she was vulnerable then (unless they were hiding in the background and she didn't see them). In the end, she accepted it and was able to move on and repair their relationship.

Interesting insight to the possibility of Jess surviving if she had knowledge of the supernatural. It would be nice to think so, but I don't believe it. The Winchesters didn't have the Colt or knowledge of the Devil's Trap at the time of the pilot. We never found out if salt could repel the YED but, even if it did, he or Brady could have found a way around it in the time they had (maybe drill a hole from the apartment above their's?).

I also wonder if John believed that Sam was possessed when he didn't contact John or if John accepted that Sam didn't want to be brought back into their world.
