Storyline

Visions show Sam, still hunting for the master demon with Dean, the way to another small town where paranormal events occur, some innocent, some chillingly evil. The Winchester brothers are convinced it's all the paranormal work of 23 year-old Andy Gallagher, but doubt as that boy, although a bit of an outcast looser living in a van filled with philosophy as well as rock music seems sincerely surprised and using his powers with self-control. Soon they find after rescuing Tracy from what seems his work there is another at least as able and less scrupled, in fact Andy's secret twin-brother, whose vengeance for their separation strikes out mercilessly, a cool killer, which even Andy may be unable to help the brothers stop in his sadistic steps...

The Evil Twin

Sam has a premonition of a man shooting another and committing suicide later, and they seek Ash in the Harvelle's Roadhouse. With the identification of the Blue Ridge bus of Sam's vision, Ash finds that the location is Guthrie, Oklahoma, and they believe that the paranormal Andrew Gallagher is the responsible for the murders. The Winchester brothers drive to the place and lure the locals Tracy and Webber to find Andy. They discover that the outcast Andy has the ability to control minds, but Sam is not affected by his power. When Holly Beckett soaks her clothes with gasoline in a gas station and burns herself to ashes, they realize that Andy is not the responsible for the deaths. Their further investigation discloses that Andy has a twin brother that was separated for adoption after the delivery by Holly.

"Simon Said" is one of the best episodes of the Second Season, at least so far, with Sam questioning what the demon might have planned for him and other youngsters like him. The story is engaging, with a nice character and his evil twin that has been contacted by "the man with the yellow eyes". My vote is nine.
