The center of Supernatural—and in every fan’s heart—has
always been two brothers who drive the open road, “saving people,
hunting things,” but occasionally characters have come in to shake up
the dynamic, or even come between Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki).
In season eight, one such character introduced was Benny (Ty Olsson),
a vampire Dean met while down in Purgatory, who fought alongside the
Winchester brother and earned his trust so much that Dean pulled him out
of Purgatory once he returned topside. The two went their separate ways
but in the next all-new episode “Blood Brother” they reunite when Benny
finds himself in trouble and Dean rushes to his side.
On paper it
may seem like Dean is choosing his makeshift brother over his
biological one, but don’t worry Supernatural fans, Olsson assured me that Benny is not out to rip apart the Winchester bond in any way; his
focus is on finding a way to survive in a world he no longer
understands.
