So let me get this straight: the BMoL was willing to kill every American hunter because one of their little jerks got killed accidentally and 2/3 of the Winchesters weren’t playing by their rules.
BUT the entire base of BMoL operatives was wiped out including a senior member and both people in the running for head of the reformed American branch and they’re…just not going to retaliate..??? The “kill all monster forever and shoe now mercy” people? The “recruit orphans and make children kill each other to prove their worth” people? Are going to retaliate?

@rosemoonweaver – I’d been wondering this too. And it would make sense for them to retaliate. This isn’t the Stynes, where it was pretty clear that Dean wiped out 99% of them. No, the BMOL was a group with the majority of it’s resources still back in the UK.

Whatever win Sam and co. achieved it is temporary. There’s a whole load of assholes, who don’t even need to deal with regular airport security, just an international flight away.

But yeah, it’s questionable why this obvious point was not pointed out. Sam isn’t that stupid.

And the Stynes were only in like three episodes. They might’ve figured they weren’t going to work, which, okay sure, that’s fine, but the BMoL stuck around for an entire season. They were the big bad for all intents and purposes 

Sam definitely isn’t that stupid…but the writers….

Like, I think what really bothers me is that there was a clear way to keep the BMoL out of the Winchester’s hair and keep them from being a threat and that was converting an inside man. (I know, I know, I’m biased. I liked Ketch and I liked Mick – if a little less than Ketch but whatever.) The big issue is that you either have to wipe every single last BMoL operative out or find someone to reform the entire system or you still have the same problem. These people are dangerous to every monster and every human and just because they left America alone doesn’t mean they’re not gonna try again or try with France or Germany or somewhere else. They could easily retaliate and come in much faster and harder than they did last time and the Winchesters might not have a way to find out where they’re set up or how many there are this time…

Or it becomes a big fat mess of wasted potential and is never brought up again.
