They saw the worm come out of Samuel when he hit the electrical outlet while fighting Rufus and Bobby so it was still in him when Sam shot him, it was just playing possum while they tried to figure where it went. But Dean and Sam didn't have an eyeline on Bobby or Rufus from the door so they didn't know where it had gone. I'm still trying to figure out why Sam shot Samuel when they (at that point) still didn't know how to kill the thing or even exactly what it was beyond Dean's description of a "twelve inch herpy" coming out of his ear.
Which by the way, physically a thing like that shouldn't be able to get all the way to the brain without causing some long term physical damage to the inner ear and eardrum. *handwaves*
Shh with the logic. It's made of magical mystical mama-monster goo. Or travels along the eustachian tubes or teleports or excretes brainwaves like a Babelfish or something. *handwaves too*
Can't believe you actually referred to the Khan worms before you even saw Dean refer to them as Khan worms!! You actually seem to have predicted most of this episode before it happened. I'm starting to think something odd happened to you when you were six months old...
I blame my prior experiences as a Trekkie, and my many many nightmares about Khan's freaking earworms when I was a kid.
I could be wrong, but I think the trucker is Brent Stait who played Scotty in Scarecrow.
THAT'S HIM!!! THAT'S HIM EXACTLY!!! Thank you! I had this vague feeling of ambivalent evil about him.
And Grandpa didn't even have the Khan worm!
Ah, but he did, it just hid out when he was shot. Maybe. Or maybe not. I love how ambiguous this episode was in spots.
