The Winchesters are called regarding a robbery of their father's storage unit, and track down the robbers to find the item stolen is a cursed rabbit's foot, which provides great luck until lost, and once lost the previous owner dies within a week. Sam picks up the foot and has great fortune, until it is pickpocketted away by the mercenary Bela. Dean must then get it back before Sam's bad luck gets him killed. To complicate the whole situation, Gordon, from his prison home, has convinced two other hunters that Sam is pure evil and must be killed. Written by Anonymous
This is the first episode that showed season 3 was going to be amazing. It seamlessly forwards the 3 main threads of the season-hunters being mad at the Winchesters, Bela/Ruby being foils for the Winchesters, and Dean's farewell tour (vis-a-vis the storage locker). Each story beat lands and thinking of the season as a whole it is remarkable how much is packed into this 40 minutes. And that is the lesser virtue of the episode.
This is a wonderful screwball comedy because of the bickering with Bela and the rabbit's foot mechanics. It is beyond funny. It created a signature moment for the entire series-I lost my shoe-and it is still laugh out loud funny after all these years.
This is Supernatural at its best.
