I actually googled Belphegor and this is what Wikipedia had to say: In demonology, Belphegor is a demon, and one of the seven princes of Hell, who helps people make discoveries. He seduces people by suggesting to them ingenious inventions that will make them rich. Bishop and witch-hunter Peter Binsfeld believed that Belphegor tempts by means of laziness.

So he aint no low level grunt. He's a man with a plan. And I think the next move in his plan will be to possess Sam next, and that's what Sam saw in his vision.

I'm not hating this because it obviously serves to give Alex Calvert something to do until show is ready to reveal the big Death and the Empty plan. Plus it gives Alex the opportunity to show what else he can do besides Nougat. and he is NAILING IT! :)))

As for Sam's vision, I figure the energy of the God wound has either granted him some of God's prescience or reawakened his own dormant powers. Or both. Either way, we have empowered Sam back. Yay! :)))

Aside of the stuff we had to hand wave, I'm happy with this episode as a season opener. It set up a lot of potentially interesting plot lines. Still, that's the easy part. The questions is, can show follow through? "Any chapped-ass monkey with a typewriter can poop out a beginning . . . Endings are hard."
