HISTORY
Born the second of two children to John and Mary Winchester, Sam is four years younger than his brother Dean. After his mother's death when he was a baby, the two boys were raised on the road as their father made it his life's mission to find and kill the thing that murdered her. They were raised more like warriors than children, and soon learned a skills set to rival the training of a military soldier.
Mary Winchester's death is probably the most significant part of Sam's past. Exactly on the day Sam turned six months old, Mary Winchester was killed by a demon, Azazel, after interrupting his plan to give Sam demon blood. She was pinned to the ceiling, her stomach cut and burned in a fire that was later deemed an accident by the fire department. Of course, Sam doesn't find out about his demon blood until later in the series.
Season One kicks off with Sam at the age of 22. In his late teens he had decided he was tired of the hunt and wanted to live a normal live. John Winchester didn't react well and thus the season opens with Sam attending Stanford University, having not heard from his family in a few years. Dean shows up and informs him that their Dad is missing and that they need to go find him. Sam reluctantly agrees to leave and tells his girlfriend Jess that he will be back in two days.
Heading to the place John Winchester was last known to be, they soon discover that John was forced to leave in a hurry. They also find his book of information, and inside are coordinates. After they finish the hunt that John hadn't been able to finish, Dean drives Sam back to Stanford and drops him off.
When Sam gets inside, he lays down to wait for Jess to get out of the shower. He looks up on the ceiling and there she is, cut open just like his mother. Her body bursts into flames and Dean rushes in, dragging Sam away from it. After Jess' death, Sam decides that it's time for him to get revenge on the thing that had now taken two people away from him. He goes with Dean to continue to look for their dad, and get revenge.
They finally meet up with John at one of John's old friends houses in the mountains of Colorado. Here they take down an entire group of vampires trying to attain the Colt- a gun with thirteen bullets that can kill anything. John leaves the Colt in Dean and Sam's possession and they once again part ways.
They continue to hunt, waiting for word that their Dad has found what killed Mary. Finally he contacts them from Sacramento and gives them orders for their next hunt.
Dean is all ready to go, but Sam thinks that finding their Dad is more important. They get into a fight and Sam leaves. While hitchhiking, Sam meets a girl named Meg who happens to be headed to the same place and they hit it off.
Sam ends up changing his mind and heads back to Dean and they continue to hunt. They end up in New York where Sam runs in to Meg in a bar and they soon find out that Meg was scoping Sam out for Azazel. The episode introducing Bobby Singer is the episode that they finally send her back to hell after she had captured their father.
After Meg is sent back to hell, Azazel surfaces. He contacts John and informs him that if he doesn't meet him with the Colt, he will kill every last one of John's friends. John reluctantly agrees but makes a fake Colt to take to Azazel.
John gets possessed by Azazel and Dean and Sam are forced to fight with their father. They come out on top, John no longer possessed. Dean however is in need of hospital care and they get into the Impala to take him there. On the way, a demon driving a semi crashes in to the car. The trio is sent to a Las Vegas hospital.
Season Two opens with Dean in critical condition, and John and Sam freaking out. Dean realizes he's on the brink of death when he gets out of his own body and is wandering the halls of the hospital. A reaper comes for him and tries to convince him that letting go isn't all that bad, and that it is his time to go. However, John decides to summon Azazel and give him the Colt for Dean's life. Azazel isn't just satisfied with that however and demands John's life in place of Dean's. John agrees and is given a few minutes to say goodbye to his kids. Dean is revived and John whispers to Dean that if the time comes, he may have to kill Sam. He dies and the Winchester boys are left to mourn.
John makes a deal with the Yellow Eyed Demon to save Dean and dies, leaving the two boys to mourn and carry on. Along the way, Sam began to realize he had certain powers within him. He began to have visions of the future and a kind of telekinesis that allowed him to move objects with his mind. Unsure of the extent of his powers and how to use them, Sam stayed on the road with his brother in search of the demon and answers to questions of his new abilities. His role in Azazel’s plan became more pronounced when he finds himself transported to a ghost town along with several other ‘special children’ in a Darwinian game of survival. He is the last man standing, or would have been, but he was attacked by a man named Jake and died in Dean’s arms.
Dean goes to the crossroad in Greenwood, Mississippi. and summons the demon for a deal to save Sam. Then the Winchester brothers meet Bobby and Ellen arrives, delivers the documents Ash left in the safe. They find that there is a huge demon trap in the Wyoming built by Simon Colt. Meanwhile the Yellow-Eyed Demon gives the colt to Jake and forces him to open the protected gate of hell to unleash an army of demons.
Sam spends the next year trying to find a way to break Dean free from his deal but is unsuccessful. Dean dies, and Sam falls into a deep depression. He buries Dean and wanders around for the next few months drunk, angry, and violent--often sending himself on reckless missions kamikaze style in an attempt to go out fighting Lilith. Ruby shows up and finally gets through to Sam, making a deal to help him strengthen his abilities if he lays off the sauce and gets his grip on reality back. There’s also a little monkey action but that’s rally so important. The important thing is that Ruby shows up and slaps Sam’s head out of the ground and gets him back on the right path.
Dean suddenly returns from the grave and seeks answers to his return with Bobby's help. Finding that it isn’t a trick, but having no actual explanation, Bobby tracks down Sam and reunites the brothers. They carry on in an effort to find and kill Lilith, getting involved in powers way overt heir head. Angels appear on the scene and start handing down orders and ‘divine tests’ for the boys to wade through on top of all the other shit they have to deal with. They’re told that they have to help keep a series of seals from breaking or Lucifer, the one and only, will be set free. Guess who’s breaking the seals from down under? That’s right. Lilith.
Despite being told by Angels, twice, Sam keeps using his abilities but hit’s a mental wall for a while. Needing Ruby’s help, he cozies up to her for a while leaving Dean in the dark (or lying his ass off, you can pick one). It’s later revealed that the reason Sam’s powers have been becoming stronger is because he’s been drinking Ruby’s blood. And, yeah shocker, he’s become addicted. Sam can now restrain demons with his mind, as well as outright kill them rather than just send them back to hell as other spells and weapons do. Sam recognizes that developing his powers is wrong, yet wants it anyway. After using his powers to torture Alistair into revealing who is killing the angels (or, who isn't), he kills him.
Dean finds out Sam has been slurping, and locks his ass up in Bobby’s panic room to detox. [Enter here a montage of Sam freaking out--think Trainspotting because that’s how it sent down.] After Sam is telekinetically thrown around the room, Bobby and Dean restrain him to the bed to stop him from hurting himself. Castile (an aforementioned angel) releases the restraints and breaks the seals, allowing Sam to escape. He finds Ruby and drinks her blood again. Ruby explains that if he kills Lilith, that that will stop the apocalypse, but he must consume more blood to be powerful enough to do so. Dean tracks him down and attempts to attack Ruby, but Sam stops him. Sam and Dean argue about how to stop the apocalypse, whereupon Dean tells Sam that he is changing into a monster, leading to a vicious fight. Sam kicks his ass and leaves, walking out even after Dean warns him with a foreshadowing “If you walk out that door right now, don’t you ever come back.”.
He pretty much loses it at this point and tromps off to be a big damn hero and kill Lilith once and for all. He does, but (and this is a big twist here) finds out a little too late that she was the last to the 66 seals keeping Lucifer in hell and has completed his destiny as the ‘special child’. It also turns out that Ruby was stringing him along the entire time. Dean wastes her right after Sam kills Lilith and the two are left to reconcile as the last seal breaks.
