After Meg was exorcised, she was able to return within months. Dean exorcised it anyway, but Lisa was left mortally wounded until Castiel healed her injuries and saved her life.Įxorcisms are not permanent with the exorcised demon being able to eventually come back from Hell. In Let It Bleed, the demon possessing Lisa Braeden purposefully forced Lisa to fatally stab herself so that Lisa would die if Dean exorcised the demon.
He also left Alicia Banes alive, but this was another method of torture for his intended victims rather than an act of mercy. Jael's only known surviving vessel is Jody Mills because Jael was too focused on spilling Bucky Sims' secret and getting revenge to kill Jody before the exorcism could be completed. After killing Elvis, Jael fled in smoke form before the exorcism could be finished. The sadistic Crossroad Demon Jael was known for brutally killing his vessels during exorcisms to prevent them from being saved even after he was gone, killing a young First Nations girl when he was originally exorcised by Asa Fox and then snapping Elvis Katz's neck to the point that his head pointed backward when Dean tried to exorcise Jael out of Elvis. Because Gordon tortured the demon, its vessel didn't survive the exorcism, disgusting Dean. In Hunted, Gordon Walker tells Dean about a demon he captured, tortured and exorcised. However, the Winchesters then discover that the vessel has already suffered a fatal gunshot wound and kill Marco instead since the vessel is beyond saving.
On another occasion, Sam suggests exorcising Marco to save his vessel with Marco even promising not to tell Crowley about the encounter if they do so. Dean saw this as putting the human Meg out of her misery and Meg thanked the Winchesters for freeing her from the Hell she had been trapped in. Indeed, once the demon was gone, the human Meg's injuries returned and she died shortly thereafter. Veteran hunter Bobby Singer warned that completing the exorcism would prove fatal to the human Meg as the demon had earlier been flung from a window. This was first seen when the demon Meg was exorcised from her vessel of Meg Masters. The ability to save the vessel depends on the sort of damage the vessel has sustained while possessed: if the demon incurred fatal injuries for the vessel's body, they will reappear and the vessel will die. On rare occasions, after the demon is exorcised out of an injured host, they can still be saved if medical attention is sought quickly and their injuries are not too severe as with the Captive Demon's vessel. It is probably the method with the best survival rate for possessed humans, even if some do not make it after the possession is lifted.
It is understandable, given that it is not as though they have all the time in the world, especially in Phantom Traveler. It is clear from what Sam Winchester says in Phantom Traveler and Devil's Trap that the boys skip the Invocation and Psalms and jump directly to the Exorcism proper. However, even though they are not seen burning through the floor or ground, it is stated that they have in fact been sent back to Hell. Later, this changes to the demon being simply expelled from their vessel and generally disappearing through the nearest opening such as a vent. The second part is not mandatory, or can be interrupted, allowing the demon to escape and possess another vessel. The first expels the demon from the occupied vessel (as black smoke) and the second sends the demon back to Hell (shown as the black smoke being sent downward leaving charred marks on the floor). During the exorcism ritual, a solemn and authoritative adjuration of the demon is applied in the name of God or any of the higher powers to which the demon is subject." As the Pad of Definitions ( Phantom Traveler) says, "exorcism is the act of driving out or warding off demons from persons, places or things that are possessed or infested by them, or are liable to become victims or instruments of their malice.
