The Roadhouse gains a new hunter stopping in and out of the place, Gordon. Jo notices he’s way younger than most of the guys here. She enjoyed talking to him. He loves telling stories with lots of details. He’s always trying to scare her. Neither Ellen or Bobby like that he’s doing that. Ellen thinks he’s really cocky. Jo thinks he’s cute.
Jo noticed a Grimoire book in his hand. He explains its a a book of magical knowledge full of astrological stuff, names and descriptions demons, and information about spells, summoning, and talismans. Bobby points out there are a lot of different grimoires written by different people. Jo’s never seen one before, and is quite interested. Gordon promises to show it to Jo sometime.
2002
Gordon had teased Jo about the fact that I'm a hunter who's not allowed to hunt. Only the week before Jo walked right up to Gordon and challenged him to take her along on a hunt. And, to her surprise, he told her "It's about time. He’s been waiting for her to get up the nerve to ask him. Jo packs her bag. Jo tells Ellen she’s spending the night with a friend from school. Which was really a lie. Ellen seems to believe it. She walks out of the Roadhouse and quickly sees a car pull up, it’s Gordon. Jo hops in excited for her first adventure.
Gordon and Jo are on stakeout, outside of town about twenty minutes in Brandon. Having just run surveillance for four hours. Gordon suspects a Rawhead is using the place as its lair, bringing back its prey to torment and kill. Gordon heard a noise. He suspects something off in the far corner. He heads over to investigate it. He tells Jo is stay here and wait for his orders. She agrees.It’s dark and Jo can’t see a thing. She keeps trying to stay hidden and out of sight, listening for Gordon. All of a sudden she hears another noise right beside her. Jo jumped ten feet and runs as fast as she can and bumps right into Ellen. Ellen caught onto Jo’s lie and tracked her and Gordon down, thanks to Danny. Gordon shows up and she slaps him across the face. Yelling at him and embarrasses him. Jo’s never seen her mom this upset before or freaked out before. Ellen accuses Gordon of using Jo as bait to lure out the Rawhead... it's just so off base. She demands Jo head right back into her car right away. Jo tries to convince Ellen to let her stay, but But right now, there's no reasoning with her.
2003
After Ash joined the Roadhouse replacing Danny as the IT expert. Ellen asked Jo what she thinks of Ash and what she thinks about him taking over for Danny and being a permanent fixture in the place. Jo thinks he’s okay. very laid back, super smart and good at his job. Ellen called Ash over, insisting he let Jo help work his system. She can learn more from him. Ellen trusts Ash. But again stresses to Jo she isn’t allowed within twenty feet of Gordon
2005
Jo’s transfers her old diaries and journal entries into online entries, like a Myspace for hunters. Ash tells her it’s a hidden site that that almost no one knows about, and that is password protected so that only other hunters can gain access. The site is a great tool, a common space where hunters can ask questions and share knowledge and advice. Jo’s so happy Ash did all of this. Bobby has been training Jo, but they both know her mother Ellen isn’t happy. It’s put Bobby into an awkward position. Ash thinks he figured most hunters have to face some pretty bad stuff, both out in the world and inside their own heads. Maybe these entries will help someone along their path, or at least comfort them a little. Jo’s gonna try to keep updating it, sharing stories and information and research with anyone who needs it.
Season OneIn the
"The Hunt Has Begun (Part 2)" - When Sam and Dean receive a call from Ellen on John's phone, the brothers return to the Roadhouse for the first time in a number of years. Ellen had called because her daughter Jo went for a hunt, and had not been back in over a week. She wanted John's help, but since Sam and Dean are here, she hopes they can help her.
Sam and Dean reunite with Jo on the hunt at Black Water Ridge and help rescue Tommy Collins, who went missing while on a camping trip with two friends. Dean and Sam learn that Jo is hunting and her stepfather Bobby has trained her well, and she has been hunting on her own for a few months. Dean's impressed with Jo's skills, even if she still needs work. Jo connected with Ben on the hunt and although he is thankful for what they did, he thinks this life is not right for her hunting creatures like the Wendigo. Jo told Ben, it's right for her, and it makes her feel closer to her father.
Returning to the Roadhouse, Jo reunited with her family, where she was present for the Roadhouse pouring a drink and wanting them to keep in touch and let them in on the fight for the demon.
