Appearances

8.01 We Need To Talk About Kevin

Flashbacks: Sam is in a house in Kermit, Texas. As Sam leaves he pats Riot, who is on the bed where Amelia lies, pretending to be asleep. Outside a mysterious figure watches the house.

Later Sam remembers when he hit Riot with the Impala. He rushed him to a veterinary hospital, where Amelia is the vet who tends him. Riot sustains some serious internal bleeding and at least two leg fractures. Amelia tells Sam the dog has no owners, and points out his responsibility for the dog, and so Sam agrees to take care of him.

8.03 Heartache

Flashbacks: Sam remembers being in a park with Riot, looking for Amelia. Riot runs off, and when he follows him, Sam finds Amelia waiting with a birthday picnic. He looks surprised, and she asks whether he's never had a birthday cake before.

8.05 Blood Brother

Flashbacks: Amelia returns to the motel room where she is living to find Sam there. Disturbed that he is stalking her, he explains he is working doing repairs for the motel, and was unblocking her garbage disposal which was full of lime rinds.

Later Riot - at this point referred to by Sam simply as "Dog"- runs into her room and jumps onto the sofa next to her. When Sam comes to find him, he asks compliments her on the stitches she gave the dog, and then asks Amelia if she really thinks he is creepy. She points out that he dresses like either a "white supremacist"or a "drifting serial killer" and that it creepy that he says he's "seen a lot of stitches" in his time.

Sam guesses that she too is a drifter with no one in her life, and Amelia vaguely confirms that she has recently lost someone, and guesses that Sam has too.

8.06 Southern Comfort

Flashbacks: Sam remembers a moment with Amelia. They'd just had sex for the first time, and she told him about her husband, Don Richardson. Don died in Afghanistan, and afterwards she hadn't been able to endure everyone's pity, so she'd left her life and run.

Sam remembers the morning after he and Amelia had sex for the first time. When he woke up, she'd been leaving for work and had asked him to forget what she'd said about her husband because she didn't want him to look at her with pity.

Later Sam tells her that he didn't pity her and said that when his brother died he ran, too. She'd let him into her motel room and poured him whiskey, then asked if he wanted to talk about it. He'd said yes and told her that she could talk to him about Don if she wanted.

8.08 Hunteri Heroici

Flashback: Sam remembers the day he met Amelia's father, Stan Thompson. He and Amelia had just moved into a house together, and Stan obviously hadn't approved of him. When he'd learned that Sam was working a maintenance job at a local motel despite going to Stanford, he'd remarked that Sam seemed like a "real fixer-upper." Over dinner, the tension continues, but later Amelia pleads with her father telling him that she and Sam might both be a bit of a mess but they are happy. Stan tells her she is living in a dreamworld, but his attitude to towards Sam noticeably softens. However later that night, Amelia gets a phone calls. Don is alive.

8.09 Citizen Fang

Flashback: After news that Don is alive, Sam struggles with what to do. He tells Amelia he thinks the right think to do is step aside for Don to return, but that what he really wants to do is stay with her.

Don turns up at a bar where Sam is having a drink. He tells Sam that he understands that part of Amelia still loves him, but that she also loves Sam, and that ultimately he decision is hers and he will respect that. Sam returns home to tell Amelia he thinks he should leave.

Current time: Sometime since he got back, Dean has taken Amelia's phone. Dean uses this to text a distressed message ostensibly from Amelia to Sam, so that Sam will drop the hunt for Benny. Sam does, driving to Kermit Texas, only to find Amelia safe and sound at home with Don. Sam goes to a local bar and calls Dean, to let him know he realised what dean had done, hanging up angrily. Sam then turns around to see Amelia standing there. "I knew it was you," she says.
