Later, Ethan researches changelings. He suspects that the creatures have replaced the local children, killed the fathers, and are feeding on the mothers. The brothers discover the mother changeling is using a vacant house as her base. Inside, they find a recently-replaced Ben, the other children, and the local realtor in cages. The mother changeling, in the form of the realtor, attacks them. Ethan  retaliates with a flamethrower, and all the changelings explode in flames upon her death. The real children are returned, and Adam reluctantly turns down an offer to stay, telling her that it is not his life. Elsewhere, Ethan confirms to Ruby that all of his mother's friends were killed. She reveals herself as a demon, but claims that she wants to help him.
 * 3) Kane (Michael Massee) visits fellow hunter Greg Walker in prison, and is told that Ethan must die due to his inhuman nature. Elsewhere, the brothers are alerted to a break-in at one of their father's storage rooms in Buffalo, New York, where thieves have stolen a rabbit's foot. Adam and Ethan uses P.J's security footage to track them down and retrieve the item. However, Mitch  informs them that the foot is cursed. Anyone who touches it— Ethan already has, —is granted good luck, but will die within a week if the foot is lost. As Mitch researches a method to destroy it, Ethan begins having good luck. Later, however, a waiter  spills coffee on Ethan  to distract him and steals the foot. When Ethan begins to have bad luck, they interrogate one of the thieves—the other who touched the foot has since died—and they learn about the woman who hired them, Belila Talbot (Lauren Cohan). Mitch knows of her and how she steals paranormal items for profit, and gives them a lead on her location. Adam retrieves the foot from Belila's flat in Queens, but Ethan's bad luck helps Kane  and another hunter track him down. They prepare to kill Ethan, but Adam  arrives in time and uses the good luck of the rabbit's foot to incapacitate them with a pen and TV remote. Mitch  finds a ritual to break the curse, but Belila  interrupts before its completion. She demands the foot, and shoots Ethan  in the shoulder to display her ruthlessness. Adam tricks her  into becoming cursed, forcing her to allow the foot's destruction. However, she gets the last laugh as she stole winning lottery tickets Adam got with the foot. Kane visits Walker in prison again . Believing the coincidences that helped him to locate Ethan  were caused by God, he agrees to help Walker escape prison.
 * 4) Omens and two unusual deaths lead the brothers to Elizabethville, Ohio, a once-sleepy town that has been turned into a haven for gamblers and drinkers. They first speak with Father Gillian (Robert Curtis Brown), who witnessed a suicide in his church. A fellow hunter named Richie then takes them to a local bar to investigate its owner Trotter. A fight breaks out between two patrons, and the bartender Casey (Sasha Barrese) uses the distraction to lure away Richie. She takes him to a home owned by her parents, and kills him in the basement. Elsewhere, Ruby helps Mitch repair the Colt—a mystical gun capable of killing anything. As Ethan  tests Trotter and discovers that he is not possessed, Adam  searches for Richie. He locates the demonic Casey, and tricks her into stepping inside a devil's trap—mystical symbols capable of rendering one powerless—in the basement. Adam  begins an exorcism, but Casey destroys the book and telekinetically causes the basement entrance to cave in. Now trapped together, Adam and Casey  begin a conversation. Though the demons encouraged Trotter to bring gambling and prostitution to the town, the citizens' behavior is merely human nature. She also reveals that her world is in disarray following the demon Kal-Zor's death and Ethan's  failure to replace him as leader. The two continue their discussion, and Casey begins developing respect for Adam. Meanwhile Ethan and P.J are unable to locate Adam, or Casey, and enlists the help of Father Gillian. He leads Ethan to Casey just as Mitch arrives. Father Gil reveals himself to be a demon and incapacitates them. He breaks into the basement and frees his lover Casey. Despite her pleas, Father Gillian sets his sights onto Adam. Ethan intervenes  and kills both demons with the Colt worrying Adam  with his ruthlessness due to Kal-Zor's warning about Ethan  possibly not coming back "one hundred percent pure Ethan".
 * 5) "Story Time"-Adam and Ethan  travel to Maple Springs, New York to investigate a deadly attack against three brothers. Though they believe a werewolf to be the culprit, the lone survivor claims the attacker was a normal man.

Research on any local deaths of a young girl turn up nothing, but the brothers do find a comatose girl named Callie (Ava Rebecca Hughes) at the hospital. Her father, Dr. Garrison (Christopher Cousins), has been reading her fairy tales. Adam and Ethan  believe that she was poisoned with bleach by her step-mother, and has been bringing fairy tales to life in an attempt to get attention. Meanwhile, an old woman is brought into the hospital. In the style of Little Red Riding Hood, her granddaughter has been kidnapped. As Adam and P.J track down the girl but is attacked by the kidnapper, Ethan  explains the situation to Dr. Garrison. He cannot believe that his wife would do such a thing, but Callie's spirit appears and confirms Ethan's claims. Callie then peacefully dies, and her spirit moves on. Elsewhere, the kidnapper is freed from Callie's control. Later that night, Ethan gives the Crossroads Demon (Sandra McCoy) with whom Adam  made the pact an ultimatum—either release Adam from his bargain or die. The demon says that only her boss has the power to break the deal. When she refuses to reveal her boss' name, Ethan shoots her dead.
 * 6) In Sea Pines, Massachusetts, a woman sees a ghost ship in the harbor, and mysteriously drowns in her shower later that night. Adam and Ethan  question the woman's aunt Gertrude (Ellen Geer), who knows about the ghost ship and asks them if they are working with a woman named Alex. After the brothers leave, they are confronted by Belila. Using the pseudonym of "Alex", she "solved" the case for Gertrude, who has withheld payment since the Barnes  arrived. More deaths occur that night, and the brothers realize that the ship is a death omen linked to the spirit of a sailor hanged for treason. The sailor's hand was crafted in a Hand of Glory. Belila suggests that they destroy it to stop the ghost ship. Using tickets provided by Gertrude, the trio attends a lavish function at the local Maritime Museum. Belila steals the hand, but sneaks away from the brothers. She sells the hand to a client—her goal all along—but then sees the ghost ship. With her death imminent, Belila turns to the Barnes or help. They have discovered that the spirit only targets people responsible for the deaths of family members, which Belila will not elaborate on. The three of them conduct a summoning ritual at the sailor's grave. The vengeful spirit is confronted by the captain who ordered his death—his brother—and both disappear.
 * 7) Walker  escapes from prison and tracks down Belila. She rebukes  his threats to kill her unless she reveals the location of the brothers, but eventually acquiesces in exchange for a priceless mojo bag. Meanwhile, Ethan and Adam capture and interrogate the vampire Lucy (Mercedes McNab), and learn that another vampire named Damon (Matthew Humphreys) transformed her by spiking her drink with his own blood at a club in Albany, New York. Adam  is forced to kill Lucy, as there is no known cure for vampirism. The brothers locate and confront Damon, but are interrupted by Walker and Kane. Adam and Ethan  escape, but in the mayhem, Damon kidnaps Walker. Though Damon has plans to use Walker  as food, the hunter's continuous taunting prompts him to feed him his blood. When the brothers—having been informed by Belila of Walker's location, which she discovered via Ouija board—arrive at Damon's  hideout, they discover that the vampiric Walker has escaped. Elsewhere, Walker returns to Kane , but kills him in self-defense. As night approaches, the brothers have not been able to find Walker. Adam decides to go after Walker while Ethan stays hidden, but Ethan refuses. He then confronts Adam  about his reckless behavior since his deal; Adam relents and agrees to behave more like his old self again. Walker later calls Adam and Ethan , threatening to kill  a young woman if they do not meet him. They head to the location and find the woman, but Walker uses a rollerdoor to separate the brothers.

The brothers later stop on the side of the road to check a rattling noise made by the Impala, and Adam begins teaching Ethan  how to repair the car since his time is running out.
 * 8) "Merry X Mas"-When a being dressed as Santa Claus begins killing people after dragging them up the chimney, the Barnes and P.J  head to Ypsilanti, Michigan to investigate. Ethan suspects that an evil version of Santa—many world lores tell of those who punish the wicked during Christmas—is at work. He notices that over both victims' fireplaces are the same wreaths made of meadowsweet, a herb often used in pagan rituals to lure gods to a human sacrifice. The brothers track down the makers of the wreaths, a pair of pagan gods posing as the apparently perfect Edward (Spencer Garrett) and Madge Carrigan (Merrilyn Gann). However, they are captured as intended human sacrifices. When the Carrigans are distracted by a neighbor at the front door, the Barnes  break free. Knowing that the gods can be killed by evergreen wood, they stab the gods to death with branches of the Christmas tree. P.J leaves, the city, since helping the brothers is too dangerous.

Later that night, Adam steals gifts from a nearby house to make it look like their father dropped off presents. Knowing the truth but appreciating what Adam tried to do for him, Ethan gives him the gift meant for their father—the amulet necklace that Adam has worn ever since. As the episode ends in the present, Adam is surprised to find that Ethan has decorated their motel room with Christmas paraphernalia, now wanting to celebrate with him.
 * 9) Adam and Ethan  investigate a series of witchcraft-related deaths in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, and believe that the neighborhood book club is actually a coven. Ruby shows up and warns them that a powerful force is controlling the witches. The force will likely target Ethan, so Ruby advises him to leave town. The brothers ignore her pleas and head back to their motel. Adam confronts Ethan  about his lack of concern over killing people, so Ethan  explains that he is just trying to be more like him in order to prepare himself to fight alone in the upcoming demon war. Intense pain suddenly overcomes Adam , who is being attacked through magic. Ethan  is unable to find the hex bag—a small bag of various ingredients that witches use to focus their magic onto a target—and instead decides to go after the witches with the Colt. Ruby arrives shortly after and is able to save Adam  from the spell with a potion. Elsewhere, the three women deny targeting Adam , and claim that they have only used witchcraft for personal gain. Ethan  realizes that Tammi (Marisa Ramirez), who has not benefited from the coven, is what Ruby warned him about. Tammi incapacitates Ethan and kills one of the women. She stops a bullet from the Colt in mid-air with telekinesis, and subdues Adam when he attacks. Ruby tries to trick Tammi by claiming she led the Barnes right to her, but fails in her attempt to kill the powerful demon. The other witch begins reciting a spell. Tammi quickly kills her, but the distraction gives Adam  enough time to stab Tammi with Ruby's knife. Later that night, Ruby admits to Adam that she cannot save him from his deal. She also reveals that all demons were once humans, but have had their humanity stripped away in Hell. Like the coven, she was also a witch who sold her soul to Tammi, but for some reason still remembers what it is like to be human. Ruby requests Adam's help in preparing Ethan for the future.
 * 10) "Dreams"-As Ethan confronts Adam about the latter's apparent lack of concern over his own fate, he is interrupted by a call from a hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania explaining that Mitch has mysteriously fallen into a coma.

Unable to dream after being brutally hit in the head with a baseball bat by his father, Jeremy (G. Michael Gray) reveals that the experiment allowed him to do so by drinking a yellow tea, but the dreams scared him so much that he dropped out of the study. Ethan  later explains that a plant known as "African Dream Root" allows a person to enter and manipulate others' dreams; he believes someone killed the doctor in this manner and is now targeting Mitch.  Acquiring the dream root from Belila, Adam and Ethan  rescue Mitch from his demonically-possessed wife whom he was forced to kill years earlier. Ethan  is attacked by Jeremy in the dream, but they all awaken when Mitch takes control. Ethan and Adam later use the dream root to confront Jeremy, but become separated. Adam first sees Lisa declaring her love for him, and is then faced by a demonic version of himself that comments on his feelings of worthlessness.

He ignores Mitch's  numerous calls, but eventually hears a message claiming that he has located the Trickster. The two hunters reunite at the Mystery Spot, where Mitch  prepares a summoning ritual. Realizing the truth, Ethan stabs Mitch in the heart with a wooden stake in an attempt to kill the Trickster, however it is but an illusion as the real Trickster appears. Ethan begs that Adam be be brought back to life and they would not hunt the Trickster anymore.

Ruby appears in the station—she found a break in one of the salt lines—and warns them that demons are now following Lilith, a powerful new leader who wants Ethan dead. Ruby proposes a spell to safely kill the demons, but Adam declines the offer  because it involves sacrificing both herself and the virgin secretary Nancy Fitzgerald (Aimee Garcia). After Ruby departs, they allow the demons inside. A recording of Ethan reciting an exorcism plays through the PA system.

At the phone company, Adam and Ethan  meet with the manager, Clark Adams (Tom O'Brien). He introduces them to a technician named Stewie Meyers, who tracks the number and reveals it has called ten houses over a two-week period. Visits to some of the homes reveal that people have been receiving calls from dead loved ones.

Clark calls another man, pretending to be his dead daughter and claiming that her killer is at the house Adam is waiting in.

 * 15) Ethan convinces Adam  to go to Erie, Pennsylvania, to investigate a possible zombie, but they instead learn that the culprit behind recent organ thefts is Doc Benton (Billy Drago).

When he confronts her, she claims that the Colt has already been sold. He angrily reveals his knowledge of her parents—she had their car brakes cut due to abuse from her father—but then realizes that she had made a demonic pact. Like himself, her time is running out. He peacefully departs. Meanwhile, Ethan  rescues a woman from Doc Benton in an isolated cabin, stealing his research journal in the process. His survival methods are purely scientific, and are thus of no use to saving Adam.  Doc Benton later kidnaps Ethan  and tries to harvest his eyes, but is stopped by Adam . With the doctor apparently immortal, the brothers bury him alive. Running out of time, Belila  breaks into their motel room and shoots at their beds, which are revealed to be empty. They had expected her betrayal again and left town already. Adam calls Belila, and she explains that the Colt and Ethan's death were the only way out of her deal. She also reveals that Lilith holds all of the deals; if Adam kills her, he may be able to break his. Adam hangs up , and Belila  is left staring off into the distance as the growls of a hellhound—vicious, dog-like monsters who hunt down those whose contracts have expired—are heard.

Ethan nevertheless secretly summons her and requests her demon-killing knife. Ruby claims that Ethan's dormant psychic abilities can easily kill Lilith, who is on "shore leave" and has her guard down. Ethan considers the alternative, but Adam shows up and tricks Ruby into a devil's trap. The brothers take her knife and leave. Despite Adam's  rebukes, Mitch insists that he go with them and points out Adam's hallucinations. With his demise approaching rapidly, Adam  has begun "piercing the veil", allowing him to glimpse the true forms of demons. When the trio arrives in New Harmony, they find that Lilith is possessing a young girl (Sierra McCormick) and terrorizing her family. As Mitch blesses a waterline running to the sprinklers of Lilith's house, Adam and Ethan dispatch some of the demons who have taken over the neighborhood.

The three of them run into the house as Mitch  activates the sprinklers, creating a barrier of holy water. Ethan finds the little girl sleeping and prepares to strike, but is stopped by Adam, who reveals that Lilith is no longer inside her. As midnight approaches, Adam  realizes that Lilith has taken over Ruby's host. Claiming to have sent Ruby "far, far away", Lilith telekinetically pins the brothers down as her hellhound mauls Adam to death.  Lilith then blasts Ethan  with white energy from her hand.

Samhain is freed despite their best efforts and after Ruby's knife is knocked out of his hands, Ethan  is forced to use his powers to exorcise the demon, stopping the rise of the ghosts and demons he was causing; however, the seal is still broken. Uriel warns Ethan  against using his demonic powers and says that he will kill Ethan, after he stops helping the angels. Still annoyed by Adam  stopping him from smiting the town, Uriel tells Ethan to ask Adam what he remembers from Hell, implying that Adam does, in fact, remember what happened to him there. Meanwhile, Gabriel reveals to Adam that his true orders were always to follow Adam's orders o test his leadership under battlefield conditions, though even he does not know if Adam passed the test. He confesses that he does not know what the "right" choice would be and that he has his own doubts, though he does not show them. Lastly. Gabriel warns that hard times are ahead and says that he doesn't envy Adam for what is to come.
 * 8) "Your Wish Has Been Granted"-Adam and Ethan  investigate Concrete, Washington, a small town where the wishing well really works. A teddy bear comes to life, a boy who is always bullied gets super strength, someone wins the lottery, and the town geek gets a hot girlfriend. The brothers realize that while everyone is happy now, the end result will be disastrous because the magic will inevitably go wrong. The boys find that the origin is a magic coin that causes a fountain to become a wishing well, being that the coin's power is drawn from the pagan goddess Tiamat. The only way to reverse the wishes is for the person who put the coin there to remove it. It turns out to be the geek and he is reluctant to do so, but after one of the wishes results in Ethan's death, he removes the coin, reversing all the wishes. Ethan  melts the coin down. At the same time, Adam helps the kid who was bullied keep up his new image of strength to prevent bullying in the future. With Ethan having asked about what Uriel had meant by what Adam remembers of Hell, Adam finally admits to Ethan that he does remember everything that happened in Hell, but refuses to tell him anything else, since Ethan wouldn't be able to understand.
 * 9) "Death Among Us"-Ruby returns to give Adam and Ethan a lead: other demons are searching for an escaped mental patient named Anna Milton (Rachel Nichols), who was locked up after she went into hysterics because she heard angels talking in her head about the upcoming Apocalypse and needed to be restrained after trying to warn people. Adam and Ethan  investigate and find that Ruby was telling the truth and that Anna's claims about the Apocalypse are uncannily accurate. After finding her parents dead at her home, Ethan and Adam  track Anna to her father's church, where Ruby arrives to warn them that one of the "heavy-hitter" demons looking for Anna has been following them since Anna's house. They are unable to escape before the demon attacks them. It is then revealed that the new demon, whose name is Alastair (Mark Rolston), knows Adam from his time in Hell. While Alastair takes Ethan out, and beats up Adam, Ruby escapes with Anna. Ethan  recovers and stabs Alastair with Ruby's knife; while it doesn't kill him, it gives the Barnes  the chance to flee to safety. Believing they were set up by Ruby, Adam lashes out at Ethan for trusting her, so Ethan  tells him what happened during the months Adam was in Hell. Ethan's account is shown in Flashbacks, It shows him show him encountered Ruby (Anna Williams) again for the first time since Adam's death , while drunk and trying in vain to bring Adam  back. Though Ruby had been tortured and eventually released from Hell by Lilith only on the condition that she kills Ethan , she had only agreed to it to trick Lilith into setting her free, as she still wanted to help Ethan. However, Ethan rejected her because she couldn't bring Adam back from Hell , and demanded that she leave her host body to spare the host. Ruby acquiesced and possessed the body of a brain-dead coma patient (Cortese) whose life support had just been cut so that she would not be usurping someone else's life. She then returned to Ethan and he agreed to let her teach him how to use his powers to kill Lilith and avenge Adam. . In the meantime, she made him quit drinking and provided him with some physical comfort when she seduced him. She finally earned his trust when she came after him and saved him from a trap Lilith had prepared for him, even though he had threatened to kill her if she tried to intervene. After the last flashback, Ruby briefly takes a different host (Michelle-Hewitt Williams) to find the Barnes  and give them Anna's location. There, Adam  extends an olive branch of sorts to Ruby (Cortese) due to his appreciation of how she helped Ethan in his absence, and Ethan  is forced to break the news to a devastated Anna that her parents are dead. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Gabriel and Uriel appearing and demanding to be taken to Anna so that they can kill her.
 * 10) "Angels VS Demons"-Anna banishes Gabriel  and Uriel by cutting her wrists and drawing a mysterious symbol in her blood, though she doesn't know how she knew to do it. Wanting answers, Adam and Ethan  call upon Pamela, who uses hypnosis on Anna to unlock her memories of her mysterious early years. Doing so restores Anna's memories of what she truly is: a fallen angel who had become human by ripping out her Grace which she describes as being like an energy that is intrinsic to angels. Ethan manages to track down her Grace, which would turn her back into an angel and restore all her powers, but when the group goes to retrieve it, they find that it has already been taken. Anna receives an ultimatum from the angels, that she is to be given to them or else Adam  will be sent back to Hell. The group seems to be at a loss for a plan. That night, Anna approaches Adam  and tries to broach the subject of what happened in Hell. Although he can't talk about it, she offers him reassurance and kisses him, which culminates in them making love in the Impala on her last night on Earth. Meanwhile, Ruby goes to Alastair with the proposition of her handing over Anna if he will let her and the Barnes  go. He instead captures and tortures her with her own knife for the others' location. At the same time, Adam  is forced to give their location away to Uriel, who has invaded his dreams and is revealed to be the one who took Anna's Grace, under threat to Ethan. The demons and angels arrive and battle each other. During the confusion, Anna retrieves her Grace from Uriel. In a flash of light, she becomes an angel again and she and Alastair vanish. Gabriel and Uriel, too, leave, in pursuit of Anna. It is revealed that Ruby and Adam  betraying the others was all part of Ethan's plan to get the angels and demons to fight it out to give them the opportunity they needed. In the episode's ending, Adam tells Ethan that it was forty years in Hell instead of four months and that every day, Alastair tortured him and then offered him release from the torture if he tortured souls himself. After thirty years, Adam  finally gave in, but is now haunted by his actions.
 * 11) "The Boys"-Since the previous episode, Adam and Ethan have been hunting non-stop at Adam's insistence. This episode has them investigate a murderous ghost of a young female who died in the house she had 15 years ago in a suspected haunted house in Stratton, Nebraska. Complications ensue when a family of five moves in, and the "spirit" turns out to be two humans, a young pair of sibling feral children who are the product of incest and years of abuse and who are willing to kill to protect their home. The brothers fail to get the family to leave, but when the son is kidnapped  by the ghost, they look to Ethan and Adam to rescue the boy. The ghost was revealed to be a young girl who died here named Gwen. The spirit uses telekinetic powers to attack people. Adam manages to rescue the son, but is forced to shoot the feral brother dead in self-defense telepathically by the ghost while the father of the family is forced to stab the ghost girl to death to protect his wife and daughter. In the ending, Adam  reflects on the children with pity, sympathizing with them on what they had become after a lifetime of abuse because of how he himself had tortured souls in Hell after being tortured to the breaking point. He believes that he is even worse than the feral children because they hadn't understood what they were doing and took no pleasure in it, whereas he had in Hell, having relished the opportunity to inflict pain on others after having endured so much himself.
 * 12) "Magicians"-Adam and Ethan attend a magician's convention in Sioux City, Iowa where it seems that real magic is being performed. Their investigation leads them to Charlie (John Rubinstein), Jay (Barry Bostwick) and Vernon (Richard Libertini), three friends who were famous magicians in their day but have now been replaced by flashier, younger magicians. Jay's despair over this drives him to perform numerous tricks on-stage that should have killed him and yet come out unscathed, while magicians who had irritated the three older magicians die of mysterious wounds reflective of the trick at the same time. Adam and Ethan  suspect that Jay is a witch and go after him, but he is innocent. After Charlie is the next victim of his death tricks, Jay realizes that Vernon must be the one responsible and agrees to help Ethan and Adam flush him out. However, Vernon is also innocent; the real witch is Charlie, who has faked his death and restored his youth. He had been protecting Jay because he regards Jay and Vernon as true friends, and offers to grant them both eternal youth and immortality as well. Jay refuses the offer and uses a trick to kill him for good in order to save Adam and Ethan's lives.  However, with Charlie dead and Vernon refusing to speak to him, he is left sad, bitter, and alone. Seeing this, Ethan  finally agrees to a proposition Ruby had made earlier in the episode to rejoin her in hunting Lilith and practicing his powers, despite that he has strong reservations against one of the unrevealed methods they are using because he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life hunting.
 * 13) "Reunion"-Adam and Ethan discover that  a spirit is haunting one of their old high schools. While investigating the haunting, Adam and Ethan relive their high school experiences through flashbacks, recalling how Ethan (Collin Ford)  was picked on by the school bully while Adam  (Brock Kelly) was Mr. Popular. Initially, they believe it to be the ghost of a friend of Ethan's  who killed himself the year after they left, but when the ghost attacks Ethan,  and calls him by name even after they burn the friend's bones, they realize it's someone else. They learn that the ghost haunts the bus and possesses people there and realize the bus driver is the father of the kid who bullied Ethan. Ethan  beat him in a fist-fight before they left the school and gave him the nickname "Dirk the Jerk." The brothers learn from Dirk's father that he died at age 18 before graduation and that he lived a hard life, losing his mother shortly before Ethan  met him and gaining a lot of anger as a result. He got picked on a lot and kids called him "Dirk the Jerk." After learning that Dirk was cremated and that he is tied to a lock of hair kept on the bus, Adam and Ethan confront Dirk while he possesses two people and Adam burns his hair, destroying Dirk's spirit. In the end, Ethan visits a teacher who gave him the advice to follow his own path in life, but is unable to respond when asked if he's happy.
 * 14) Ethan and Adam  take on a case in Bedford, Iowa in which three men inexplicably beat their wives to death. The brothers realize that behind the murders is a siren, a creature that can take different forms and desperately needs love, compelling people to kill others or themselves as a show of devotion. The siren has been posing as different strippers at a strip-club to meet and seduce men. Adam suspects that the siren is a doctor who Ethan  took an attraction to and made love with while Adam was at the strip-club and bonding with the FBI agent assigned to the case. However, the FBI agent reveals himself to be the siren; it had taken on the form of  Adam's younger brother, Ethan, in order to get close to him and take Ethan's place. The siren puts Adam and Ethan both under its spell and then pits them against each other in a fight to the death for its love. The ensuing fight sees Adam  poised to kill Ethan with an axe before Mitch shows up and kills the siren with its own venom by dipping a bronze dagger in Adam's blood  and flinging it into the fleeing siren's back. The siren's death breaks its hold over its victims. Although Mitch tells them that they hadn't been themselves under the siren's influence, bitterness and tension between the brothers remains, particularly about the cruel things they had said to one another, Adam said that Ethan is no longer the person he knew, while Ethan   belittled Adam's  trauma over Hell under the siren's spell.
 * 15) Adam and Ethan  investigate the town of Greybull, Wyoming where people are miraculously surviving would-be fatal injuries and illnesses. They discover that Alastair (Christopher Heyerdahl) has kidnapped the town's reaper as part of a scheme to break one of the 66 seals by killing two reapers under the solstice moon, and they seek Pamela's help to stop him by using astral projection. She sends the brothers into the spiritual world, where the reaper Tessa (Lindsey McKeon) finds them and recognizes Adam, reawakening his memories of their first encounter. She has come to take over reaping duties for the missing reaper, but gets spirited away by demons instead for them to use as the second reaper sacrifice. The brothers find the building where the demons are hiding, but are trapped by demons, who then go after Pamela and their inert bodies. Alastair succeeds in killing the local reaper, but Adam and Ethan , having been taught how to use their spiritual abilities by the ghost of a young boy named Cole, manage to break the trap holding Tessa before Alastair can kill her. Tessa repays the favor by freeing the brothers and the three escape before Alastair and the other demons can stop them. Ethan  is pulled back into his body by Pamela, who has been mortally wounded by a demon. Believing that Pamela cannot see what he is doing, Ethan  uses his powers to exorcise the demon. However, it is too late to save Pamela, who begins to die due to Tessa beginning to reap the souls of Greybull. Alastair tracks Adam down alone and confronts him, but is captured by angels. Gabriel explains to Adam that he had been the one who led them to this case because, although he and the other angels had known Alastair's plan, they hadn't been able to get to Alastair because the building the demons hid in was protected against them. Tessa then enlists Adam's  help in convincing Cole to cross-over. After they succeed, she warns him to be wary of the angels and what they promise. At that moment, Pamela finishes in pulling Adam back into his body. The brothers are helpless to save or even reassure the dying Pamela, who spends her last words privately confiding in Ethan  that she knows what he did to the demon, that she knows what is inside him, and that, whatever he thinks of what he's doing, it is wrong. The episode ends with Adam  asking what she said and Ethan does not answer.
 * 16) In Cheyenne, Wyoming, someone has found a weapon that can kill angels and is responsible for several murders. Having captured Alastair, Gabriel and Uriel demand that Adam use the torturing skills he learned in Hell to extract information from him so they can stop the murders. Adam  refuses, but they transport him there and refuse to let him leave until he finally agrees to it. Anna comes to Gabriel when he is alone and questions the morality of forcing Adam  to torture Alastair, going so far as to question if God is even the one giving orders anymore, but Gabriel rejects her and forces her to leave when she suggests that he work with her. Meanwhile, Ethan calls Ruby  to help him locate Adam  because he doesn't believe that Adam could get that information. Ethan  then begins drinking Ruby's blood in order to regain his diminished power. Drinking her blood is how his powers have grown so much early in the season, and his decision to not drink it is why his powers had weakened. Alastair refuses to break despite the torture a vengeful Adam inflicts on him, but does taunt Adam by telling him that Adam had  broken the first seal when he began torturing people in Hell. An unseen force then frees Alastair, who tries to kill Adam and exorcise Gabriel. Ethan arrives and uses his increased power to torture and kill Alastair after the latter admits that no demon is behind the angel murders. Adam  is subsequently taken to a hospital for the injuries he sustained from Alastair's attack. Gabriel seeks Anna out and pleads for her to tell him what to do, but she tells him that he must learn to think for himself. Gabriel oon realizes who is behind the murders and Alastair's escape: Uriel. Uriel had killed the angels who refused to join him in releasing Lucifer, and had freed Alastair to kill Adam  and keep the blame on the demons. When Gabriel  refuses to join him, Uriel tries to kill him, but is killed by Anna instead, saving Gabriel. Gabriel visits Adam  in the hospital and confirms that Adam broke the first seal with his actions in Hell. Adam  is left shattered by the revelation, telling Gabriel  to find someone else to save the world, because he can't.
 * 17) "Not Is All What It Seems"-Adam Smith  is a sales director and Ethan Neeson is a tech support associate at a company. With no memory of who they really are, Ethan experiences dreams about fighting ghosts and vampires with Adam. They are brought together when Ethan's  co-workers start becoming obsessed with work, committing suicide, and Adam sees a ghost. Using advice from the Ghostfacers website, Adam and Ethan  learn how to defeat the ghost. Afterwards, Ethan wants to take up a life of hunting, but Adam declines and rudely ends their partnership. The next day, Ethan dramatically quits his job while Adam, after being offered a promotion by his boss, reconsiders and decides to quit as well. But his boss reveals himself to be the angel Zachariah (Kurt Fuller), who after restoring Adam's memories, explains the whole thing was to show that Adam that he is meant to be a hunter.
 * 18) "The Book"-Adam and Ethan  are shocked to discover a book entitled Paranormal that accurately details their lives. They track down the author of the book, who turns out to be a prophet named Chuck Shirley (Rob Benedict). Once he realizes who they are, Chuck explains he has visions of the brothers that he then turns into cheesy novels. Chuck reveals that he had a vision of this encounter, and had also had a vision of Lilith coming for Ethan

Season 5

 * 1) With the accidental freeing of the fallen angel Lucifer in the climax of the previous season finale by Ethan Barnes (Paul Wesley), the Apocalypse has started. An unknown force whisks Ethan and his brother Adam (Wes Bentley) from the place that Lucifer has started his destructive rise, and transports them safely onto an airplane passing overhead. They seek information from the prophet Chuck Shurley (Rob Benedict), learning that their angelic ally Gabriel has been killed for helping them, but he is unable to tell them much else because he is being watched by angels, who are working against the Barnes to bring on the Apocalypse. Chuck later sends word through a fan of his work named Becky Rosen (Emily Perkins) that the angels have lost the sword of the archangel Michael—a weapon capable of defeating Lucifer—and gives them a cryptic clue as to its location. When Adam and Ethan decode the clue, they are attacked by demons working for Lucifer, including their old enemy Sara Marks ( Jessica Alba) and their now-possessed friend Mitch Johnson (Hugh Laurie). Mitch manages to overcome the demon long enough to stab himself with a demon-killing knife, severely wounding himself in the process. The Barnes defeat the other demons, but Sara flees before they can kill her. The brothers take Mitch to the hospital, then set off to take Michael's sword before the demons do. They find the angel Zachariah (Kurt Fuller) at the place the sword is supposed to be, as Zachariah had purposefully planted the information that led them there in one of Chuck's prophetic visions. Zachariah explains that Adam is in fact Michael's "sword" as Michael's destined human host (called a "vessel"). However, Adam refuses to provide the permission required for Michael to possess him, even when Zachariah threatens to kill Ethan and Mitch and tortures the brothers. Gabriel soon appears and forces a frightened Zachariah to leave with the thinly-veiled suggestion that he has been miraculously revived by God himself. He then hides Adam and Ethan from angelic detection and disappears. Back at the hospital, Mitch is revealed to have been permanently paralyzed below the waist by spinal injuries from his having stabbed himself. Adam tries to bolster his friend's confidence by giving a stirring speech about beating both the angels and the demons, but admits to Ethan in private that he believes that they are all doomed. He also admits that while he forgives Ethan, he can't trust him anymore. Meanwhile, a man (Mark Pellegrino) whose family has been slaughtered by a killer begins having nightmares in which Lucifer appears to him in the form of his wife (Bellamy Young) and tries to convince him to let him take over his body so he can face God and seek justice. The man eventually agrees.
 * 2) Gabriel embarks on a mission to find God and ask him to defeat Lucifer and stop the Apocalypse. For this, Gabriel borrows Adam's pendant, which he reveals to have the ability to indicate God's presence by glowing brightly. Mitch sends Adam and Ethan to respond to a frantic call from his friend Rufus Turner (Steven Williams), who is in River Pass, Colorado, a town swarming with demons. Ethan and Adam can't find Rufus at River Pass, but instead find their old friend Ellen Harvelle (Jeri Ryan). She and her daughter Jo (Kate Mara) have been hunting together; they answered Rufus's distress call as well, only for Jo to disappear like Rufus. When the group does find Jo and Rufus, they appear to be possessed by demons—and strangely, they seem to think Ethan, Adam, and Ellen are also possessed. It is later revealed that there are no real demons present, merely illusions brought about by War (Titus Welliver), one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, to trick panicked people into killing each other. While Ellen, Jo and Rufus try to stop people from killing each other, Adam and Ethan stop War by cutting off his ring finger and taking his ring, causing War to vanish. Adam and Ethan agree to go their separate ways because neither of them trust Ethan on the job at the moment, and so they part.
 * 3) Not sure he trusts himself anymore, Ethan decides to give up hunting and live a "normal" life. At night, his dead girlfriend Julie visits him and tells him that people can never change despite their efforts. Adam, intent on stopping the Apocalypse, continues hunting on his own and teams up with Gabriel to find the Archangel Raphael, as Gabriel believes Raphael knows God's location. They find Raphael's vessel and lure him out,but are no closer to finding God's location. Raphael even claims that God is dead and that Lucifer likely raised Gabriel from the dead. Adan and Gabriel leave Raphael trapped in holy fire, but Adam encourages Gabriel to continue his search. After Ethan sends some hunters after some nearby demons, he has to fight the hunters off who wanted him to drink demon blood in order to exorcise some demons as they want revenge as one was killed and the demons told them of Ethan's role in the Apocalypse. Ethan gets another late-night visit from Julie who turns out to be Lucifer disguising himself as Ethan's deceased girlfriend all along. He says that Nick's body was just Plan B, and that his true vessel is supposed to be Ethan. He is convinced that eventually, without any trickery or lies, Ethan will agree to be his vessel, although Ethan adamantly disagrees.
 * 4) "End Of The World"-Ethan calls Adam late at night and says that he wants to rejoin Adam in the battle of the Apocalypse, but Adam tells Ethan that they're better off apart. Later, Adam awakens five years in the future in an abandoned city and is attacked by humans who have been infected with a demonic disease, the Asmoris virus. After Adam has escaped the assault, Zachariah appears to him and explains that this world is the result of Adam saying no to being Michael's vessel. He then discovers a group of survivors led by his future self. When he sneaks into the camp, he is captured by his future self, who explains that the virus is Lucifer's endgame for destroying mankind. Supposedly, Ethan did not survive the showdown. Later it is revealed that Ethan didn't die, but did in fact say yes to Lucifer, thus letting him in. After having acquired the Colt from demons, Future Adam plans on killing Lucifer and ending the Apocalypse. Walking straight into a trap, Future Adam killed by Lucifer. Lucifer reveals that, whatever choices Adam will make, he will always end up in the same situation. Lucifer leaves and Zachariah appears, teleporting Adam back to the year 2010. When Adam refuses to be Michael's vessel, even after he's seen what his decision might result in, Zachariah attempts to persuade him with force. Gabriel saves Adam from Zachariah's wrath just in time. Seeing the future causes Adam to realize he and Ethan are stronger together and he and Ethan reunite.
 * 5) "Legends"- Adam and Ethan are reunited and on the hunt again. They reach Canton, Ohio and investigate a string of very strange murders. A man who has found James Dean's car "Little Bastard" is found dead as if he has been involved in a major car crash. Another man is murdered by someone who looks just like Abraham Lincoln. Suspecting that the murders are the work of famous ghosts, the boys do research at the local wax museum where Ethan is attacked by what seems to be the ghost of Mahatma Gandhi. Shortly afterward, two girls report to the police that their friend was kidnapped by Paris Hilton, which leaves the brothers speechless. After finding peculiar seeds in the victims' stomachs, they break into the museum's construction area where they do find Paris Hilton — who is in fact a Leshii, a pagan god, in disguise, trying to settle down after its old home, a deep forest in Eastern Europe, has been cut down to construct a Yugo factory. By touching their possessions, the god can turn itself into famous people and kill their fans in order to feed on their blood. While fighting Leshi, Adam Hilton's roles in House of Wax, saying he has never seen it; The fight scene, which is in a wax museum, also makes a minor reference to the film. In the end, Ethan kills "Paris Hilton" with an iron axe. Before leaving town, Adam tells Ethan that starting the Apocalypse isn't his fault alone as he himself had broken the first seal and that they shouldn't think about the whole vessel thing too much but instead fight together.
 * 6) In Alliance, Nebraska, people are being killed by practical joke devices such as itching powder and joybuzzers. On top of that, a very odd-looking Tooth Fairy extracts a man's teeth. It turns out that an eleven-year-old boy named Jesse is the reason for all of this. Everything he believes becomes reality. After searching his birth records, Adam and Ethan  find out that the boy was adopted, so they visit his biological mother, who lives across the state, in Elk Creek. She tells the brothers that she was impregnated by a demon possessing her and gave up her child for adoption after giving birth to him. Gabriel informs the Barnes that Jesse is an Antichrist, a being half human, half demon, imbued with essentially unlimited powers. Therefore, an Antichrist would be Lucifer's special weapon in the war against Heaven and, as a serious threat, needs to be eliminated. However, Ethan and Adam  believe that Jesse would not turn evil if he is taken somewhere safe. When they try to convince Jesse to come with them, the demon which conceived him interferes and pins them to the wall. It is again possessing Jesse's biological mother. After listening to the demon, Jesse renders it unable to speak in order to hear what Ethan has to say. Ethan tells Jesse that he has a choice and that it will haunt him forever if he makes the wrong decision. After that, Jesse exorcises the demon from his mother. Pretending he wants to say goodbye to his adoptive parents, he goes upstairs and vanishes into thin air, protected by his powers, which makes it impossible to track him down.
 * 7) "Ageless"- Mysterious deaths caused by inexplicable aging lead to Ethan, Adam and Mitch  to a warlock named Patrick, who gambles for high stakes. He challenges people to a poker game in which they don't play for money, but for life years represented by magical poker chips. Mitch sees this game as an opportunity to escape his wheelchair and accepts Patrick's challenge. Losing the game, he begins to age rapidly. Adam  wants to save Mitch  and challenges the warlock to win back Mitch's lost years to prevent him from dying. He bets 50 years, of which he uses 25 to reverse Mitch's  aging process. However, Adam can't keep up with the warlock's poker skills and loses, which causes him to age. Together, the Barnes brothers, and Mitch  try to find a way to save Adam. They get unexpected help from Patrick's accomplice, who thinks that living forever is not natural and causes too much pain. She gives them a spell, one which can reverse the effects of Patrick's magic. Ethan  challenges the warlock to a poker game while Mitch and Adam  perform the ritual. One ingredient of the spell is a trace of Patrick's DNA, so they use a toothpick supposedly used by him. The spell turns out to be ineffective since the toothpick was not really used by Patrick. When frantically searching for another object with the warlock's DNA on it, Adam suffers a heart attack, but Ethan wins the game just in time to save Adam.
 * 8) "Channels"- While investigating a homicide in Wellington, Ohio that was apparently executed by the Incredible Hulk, Adam and Ethan are trapped inside TV land. They suspect the Trickster is the reason for it, and attempt to track him down. Ethan suggests they ask the Trickster for help fighting the Apocalypse, and Adam reluctantly agrees. They encounter him several times, but are unable to trap him until Adam  remembers a warning from Gabriel  about the Trickster, which leads the brothers to believe the Trickster is in fact a far more powerful creature than a simple demigod. They manage to lure him and trap him in a burning circle of holy oil. Since the Trickster is unable to escape, it confirms their suspicions that he is actually an angel. He applauds them and admits he's actually the Archangel Castiel, who voluntarily fell from Grace several years before as he grew tired of watching his brothers fight each other. He trapped Ethan and Adam  because he wants them to agree to be Lucifer's and Michael's vessels, respectively, in order to end the Apocalypse. Castiel also states that the lives of Adam and Ethan  mirror the lives of Lucifer and Michael, since Ethan  rebelled against his father while Adam  remained obedient. Adam still refuses to say yes to becoming a vessel, but before they leave, he frees Castiel from his trap and accuses him of simply being too afraid to stand up against his own family.
 * 9) "Ghostbusters"- Following a text message from Chuck, Adam and Ethan  arrive at a hotel in Vermillion, Ohio, which is the site for a Paranormal  fan convention. They find out that it was their over-enthusiastic fan Becky who sent the message, and have to deal with several Adam and Ethan wannabes participating in a fictitious ghost hunt.

However, the plan fails when her cell phone rings, identifying her as a human. The ghosts attack Ethan and Adam, but are destroyed by a pair of Barnes  imposters, who were able to salt and burn the children's bones just in time.

After an attempt to kill the hospital's Chief of Medicine, whom they suspect to be the monster, Ethan is locked up and sedated with a heavy dose of tranquilizers.

He and another friend of Gary's, Nora, take him to a basement and reveal that they have made a pact with a demon, who offered them everything they wanted in exchange for Adam and Ethan. Trevor conjures the demon, who possesses Nora and kills Trevor, whose demands irritate the demon. As the demon tastes Trevor's innards it declares they "taste like moron". The demon (still in the form of Nora) goes after Gary and tries to persuade him to meet Lucifer and "answer one little question" with yes, which would let the Devil into his true vessel. Gary refuses and after Adam  fails to kill the demon, he and Gary manage to exorcise it together. In the end, Gary reverses the spell and the boys take him home. Before leaving, Ethan  tells Gary that he should be glad to have a normal life and a family, but when he and Adam  get into the car, he states that Gary's life "sucked, yet Adam  counters by saying that perhaps they themselves just don't know the good things they're missing out on.
 * 13) "The Return"- The fallen angel Anna (Julie McNiven) has escaped from her prison in Heaven and is planning on killing Ethan  in order to prevent the Apocalypse. She calls Adam and Ethan  and asks them to meet her, but instead the brothers encounter Gabriel, who doesn't believe she has escaped but suspects there is something she is not telling them. Anna explains that she believes killing Ethan will prevent the Apocalypse as without his true vessel, Lucifer won't be able to bring about the end of the world. However, Gabriel refuses to let her near the Barnes and she disappears. Later, Gabriel meets up with the Barnes and tells them that Anna has traveled back in time to 1981 to stop Maria and John Barnes from conceiving Ethan. The three also travel to the past, which weakens Gabriel considerably. When knocking at their parents' door, Maria recognizes Adam from his earlier visit and tells them to leave immediately, suspecting something bad is bound to happen. John, however, is thrilled to meet "relatives" from Maria's side of the family and invites them in. Anna poses as John's employer and calls him at home, telling him to come to the garage he works at. After arriving there, he is attacked by Anna. The brothers and Maria come to rescue him, and Ethan is able to drive Anna out of the building by using a magical sigil. They flee to a shelter, where Adam has a talk with Maria, in which he reveals that he and Ethan  are her sons and that she has to leave John in order to prevent her sons from being born. However, she reveals that she is already pregnant. Suddenly, Anna and an earlier Uriel rush into the house, attacking the Barnes, which allows Anna to kill Ethan.  Just as Anna is about to kill Maria, the Archangel Michael, having possessed John's body, enters the room and burns Anna to death. He reveals that Cain and Abel are the brothers' ancestors and that their destiny as Michael and Lucifer's true vessels has been set since those ancient times. While he loves Lucifer, having practically raised him like Adam did Ethan,, he feels he has to kill his brother as he is a "good son" and that there is no such thing as free will, that everything is predestined. He then revives Ethan, erases Maria and John's memory, and sends the brothers back to their time. Despite Michael's words, Adam is still determined to win their way.
 * 14) "Love Kills"- When couples start eating each other to death and killing each other, the brothers investigate and find angelic marks on the victims' hearts. They call Gabriel, who suspects a rogue Cupid to be responsible for the deaths. Gabriel summons the Cupid and asks him about the strange incidents, but the angel of love says he is only acting on higher orders, but that killings are not his work. After examining another victim's body, Ethan  follows a suspicious man and confronts him. Ethan  fights him and grazes him with Ruby's knife, which reveals that he is a demon. The demon flees and leaves his briefcase behind, and Ethan  finds his addiction to demon blood return. Soon, people start dying from binge eating or alcohol poisoning, and Gabriel develops a weird craving for red meat, which leads them to believe that one of the Four Horsemen, Famine, who causes people to give in to their desires, is behind the deaths. They open the briefcase, which contains a human soul of a person. Gabriel l states that Famine harvests the souls of the people he killed and consumes them. Later, Adam and Gabriel set out to face Famine and cut off the finger on which he wears the ring containing his power. They lock up Ethan  in order to prevent him from giving into his cravings and follow the demons who harvested a soul for Famine to devour. Meanwhile, demons enter the room where Ethan is  chained up. Ethan breaks free, attacks the demons and satisfies his thirst. When Adam and Gabriel arrive at the diner in which they suspect Famine to dwell, Gabriel  enters the building in order to attack Famine, but is held up by his desire for red meat. Adam walks in and is assaulted by the demons guarding Famine. Famine then states that Adam  is not responding to his curse because he is empty inside and there is nothing that can satisfy his hunger. When Ethan suddenly appears, Famine offers him the demons guarding himself, but Ethan refuses.  He exorcises them, and Famine devours their essences. Ethan tries to use his powers on the Horseman, but Famine states that Ethan's  abilities will not work on him. Instead of killing the Horseman himself, Ethan uses his powers to destroy the demons Famine had just swallowed, effectively killing Famine. In the end, Adam and Gabriel lock Ethan in Mitch's  panic room in order to detox the demon blood out of his system. When Adam  cannot bear to listen to Ethan's screams anymore, he walks outside and calls to God for help.
 * 15) Adam and Ethan investigate Mitch's hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota where the dead are rising from the grave, but instead of attacking humans they are happily reuniting with their families. The brothers turn to Mitch for help, but he tells them not to worry about it and to leave town. Suspicious, Adam  investigates further and comes face to face with Mitch's dead wife, who seems to have no memory of what has happened to her. Soon the zombies start to become evil one by one, killing and eating their loved ones. The brothers urge Mitch to kill his "wife" before she does the same. Mitch refuses because he wants to spend a few happy hours with his resurrected wife and says that as soon as she turns evil he will take care of it. Shortly after, his wife shows signs of becoming a flesh-eating zombie. Weakened by the disease, she lies down to rest and tells Mitch  that she actually remembers her demonic possession and death. She also delivers a message from Death. As Adam and Mitch prepare to head out to fight the zombies, Mitch's salvage yard is swarmed with them and Adam and Mitch end up trapped. They are rescued by Ethan and local sheriff Jody Mills (guest star Kim Rhodes) who found out the horrifying truth after her son killed her husband.

Trying to escape from Zachariah's persecution, Ethan and Adam  re-live the happiest moments of their lives. On their way they meet Ash, living in an illusional Roadhouse. He says that the people sent to Heaven are rewarded for their good deeds with a replica of their happiest memory. They also encounter Pamela, who states that being dead and in Heaven is not so bad, after all. Eventually, Zachariah finds the brothers and begins to torture Adam , saying that he is sick of being condemned by his fellow angels because he cannot handle "one little human." However, he is stopped by Joshua, who claims to be acting on orders from God. Taking the Barnes  to the Garden, Joshua tells Adam  that God will not help them. It is revealed that He is the one who put them on that airplane in "Sympathy for the Devil", brought back Gabriel and now granted them salvation in Heaven. However, He does not feel the Apocalypse is his problem and will do no more to help. Joshua then returns them to Earth with their memories, where the brothers meet Gabriel  and tell him everything. Gabriel curses God  and gives Adam  his amulet back, stating that it is useless now. As the brothers leave the motel, Ethan tries to convince Adam that they can still stop the Apocalypse. Before walking out the door, Adam  throws his amulet into the trash can, leaving faith at the door.
 * 17)  "99 Issues"- Adam and Ethan are cornered by demons, but saved at the last minute by Rob and his townspeople, who are aware of the Apocalypse and have been training to fight and kill demons. The small town has become very religious, and the brothers meet Pastor Gideon, who introduces them to his daughter Leah. She has been receiving visions from angels and guiding the townspeople to demons, whom the townspeople always seem to defeat and exorcise. Eventually Leah begins telling the locals that they are "Chosen" to win the Apocalypse and see their dead loved ones again in a Paradise on Earth, but to do so must get rid of "sinners" among them whose names the angels are giving to her. The brothers learn that Leah has been replaced by the Whore of Babylon, a creature from Hell that emerges during the Apocalypse and tries to condemn as many people as possible to eternal punishment in Hell by tricking them into committing Deadly Sins. The Whore had only been sending locals on demon hunting trips to earn their trust, and the exorcisms are fake. Her true agenda is to cause the townspeople to kill as many of each other as she can, and damn their souls to Hell. She can only be killed with a cypress wooden stake from a tree in Babylonand by the hand of a true servant of Heaven. The Pastor has become concerned by Leah's increasingly ruthless behavior, and while walking outside is confronted by Gabriel who informs him of the truth. Reuniting with Ethan and Adam, the Pastor is informed that Leah is not his real daughter but the creature that killed her. The demonic creature has to be killed and they point out that the Pastor is a true servant of Heaven. They halt the Whore just before she and her "Chosen" can burn the "sinner" townspeople to death. The Pastor is knocked out and the Whore begins battling Adam , but he manages to stake her, proving to a surprised Ethan  that he is a true servant of Heaven. Ethan  asks him if he is going to do something stupid like saying "yes" to the angel Michael. In the end, Adam leaves Ethan to drive and see Lisa and tells her that, in the next few days, she's going to see "trippy" things on TV, but she need not worry because he is going to make arrangements to protect her and her son, Ben. He also confesses that when he dreams of having a happy family it is with her and Ben. Lisa is terrified and asks Adam  to stay, have a beer and talk for a while, but Adam declines and leaves.
 * 18)  "There's No Coming Back"-Before Adam can go to say yes to Michael, Ethan and Gabriel  capture him and lock him in Mitch's  panic room. At the same time, the angels decide they don't need him anymore. Instead, Zachariah uses Adam and Ethan's  half-brother, Sam, to serve as Michael's vessel as he is related to the Barnes by blood. Gabriel rescues Sam as he revives and brings him to see his brothers and Mitch. But, Sam has no problem being Michael's vessel as the angels promised to reunite him with his deceased mother and Ethan tries to talk him out of it. Since Adam  still has the intention to accept the archangel, Gabriel and Ethan  lock him in a cell but Adam tricks Gabriel into releasing him and escapes. Sam  is convinced by Zachariah to act his part and he leaves voluntarily. Adam is chased down by Gabriel and enraged at his betrayal and willingness to give in so easily, the angel drags Adam  into an alleyway before subjecting him to a brutal beating that leaves Adam with several injuries. When Adam tells him to do it, Gabriel  knocks him unconscious and takes him back to Mitch's house.  Upon going with Zachariah, Sam  discovers that the angels have fooled him into tricking Adam  to become Michael's vessel. Ethan trusts Adam not to give himself up to the angels and releases him to help rescue Sam. Gabriel goes inside the warehouse and confronts a group of angels, using a sigil on his body to banish himself and the angels away while Adam and Ethan enter.  They attempt to take Sam with them but are confronted by Zachariah. The angel tortures both Ethan and Adam to force Adam to say yes. Adam refuses and tells Zachariah to summon Michael. However, Adam  reveals he's made a few conditions in order to have Michael possess him, with the first being Zachariah will be killed by Michael. Zachariah doubts Michael will hurt him, even for Adam's yes, but Adam kills Zachariah himself instead with an angel sword through the head. As Michael descends, the three brothers flee but Sam is trapped inside. Adam  is unable to go back in to save Sam  due to the searing heat and light, and when he enters the room moments later, the room holding Sam has disappeared .

 * 19)  "God's Of Thunder"- Adam and Ethan  end up in a seemingly one-star motel at the side of the road in Muncie, Indiana, but it turns out to be a four-star hotel with staff who are a little too friendly for the brothers' liking.

They are soon trapped by the staff, who turn out to be a group of pagan gods, including Kali, Ganesh, Mercury, Zao Shen, Baron Samedi, Odin, and Baldur, and who want to use them as bargaining chips to stop the Apocalypse.

Outside, Adam and Ethan watch a movie Castiel gave to them, in which the archangel explains to them that they can't kill Lucifer, but they can trap him back in Hell.

The brothers spy on Cal overnight, but see nothing; after they leave, Cal is killed by Lucky. Ethan sees the dog Lucky transform into a man and follows him out of the house. There is a chase and Lucky is hit by a van. It turns out the killers are not werewolves but skin-walkers. Ethan and Adam trap Lucky at an animal hospital and convince him that it would be better to give up his pack than to risk the family he loves. Lucky tells the two that the skin-walkers plan to infiltrate families as pet dogs and upon given a signal, turn the families into skin-walkers. Adam decides to eliminate the leader of the pack and there is a shootout. All the skin-walker pack except Lucky are killed, but he escapes, wounded. Lucky then goes back to Mandy to thank her for her kindness, but she tells him to leave and never come back. Afterwards, Ethan, who Adam has been insisting is no longer the same without his soul, finally admits Adam is right and that he doesn't care about Adam or anything and asks Adam's help to get his soul back.
 * 9) "I Believe"- The Barnes brothers investigate a series of disappearances in the town of Elwood, Indiana resembling alien abductions. They question the first victim's father, Brennan, a watchmaker who is adamant that his son will never return. Adam is apparently abducted; Ethan goes to a UFO gathering to learn more about the abductions. Adam is sent back hours later and is annoyed to find Ethan spending the night with a groupie from the gathering instead of searching for him. Continuing their research, Adam begins seeing a strange man only he can see and encounters a Tinkerbell-like fairy radiating an energy sphere. Adam tries to convince Ethan of the bizarre events but Ethan remains skeptical. Adam checks out Brennan's shop, only to find elves working inside. Ethan asks Brennan for the truth and is told that he summoned a leprechaun two months ago. The leprechaun makes him a deal to have his elves build watches and save his shop and reputation, but will take his first-born in exchange. Adam is followed by the strange man and ambushes him, only to mistakenly attack another man and is arrested for assault. Ethan and Brennan attempt to undo the spell but Brennan is killed by the leprechaun, who turns out to be a UFO enthusiast (Robert Picardo) seen throughout the episode. He used the faked UFO sightings as cover up for the leprechauns' activities. The leprechaun senses the lack of a soul in Ethan and makes an offer to get it back for him, but Ethan declines and attacks him. Finally, Ethan empties a rock salt shotgun shell onto the floor which forces the leprechaun to count each grain, and reads the spell to send all of them back to where they came from. Later, Adam asks Ethan why he did not take the leprechaun's deal, and Ethan replies that deals are never a good thing.
 * 10)    "Caged Fire"- Adam and Ethan are ambushed by Sara the demon and some of her followers loyal to Lucifer, who are running from Crowley. Ethan proposes a bargain: Sara will get to kill Crowley, if she can help them eventually recover Ethan's soul. Sara agrees, and Ethan decides to seek insurance in case of treachery. They try to get assistance from Samuel, who refuses - Crowley has promised to resurrect Adam and Ethan's mother. Later, Samuel appears to have a change of heart, and tells the brothers and Gabriel about a hidden monster prison Crowley is running, torturing creatures for information on Purgatory. During their preparation to attack the compound, Gabriel voices his concern that since Ethan's soul was locked with the very angry Michael and Lucifer, the ravages upon Ethan's soul would either kill him or render him insane or broken. While attempting to infiltrate the compound, Sara's demons are killed by a hellhound, and Sara fights the creatures to buy the others time. Samuel has betrayed the brothers, forcing Gabriel out of the building with a sigil spell and trapping Ethan and Adam with Crowley's help. Ethan escapes his guards, rescues Adam by killing the pair of ghouls, then Adam kills the demon controlling Christian, who found Sara and was torturing her for information. Together, the group tricks Crowley into stepping into a devil's trap, where Crowley states that getting the soul would be impossible, even for him. Crowley frees himself from the trap when Sara attacks him. Gabriel reappears with Crowley's remains in tow, and once again Crowley professes that he cannot get Ethan's soul back. Gabriel immediately sets the bones ablaze, killing Crowley. Sara quickly vanishes, and Gabriel leaves to fight a losing war against Raphael. Ethan walks away from Adam stating that he doesn't want his soul back, as he is better off without it.
 * 11)    "Meeting In Samarra"- Adam meets with and makes a deal with Death: if Adam will take Death's place for an entire day, Death will regain Ethan's soul and 'fix' the tortured parts. Adam tells Mitch and Ethan of the plan, which Ethan strongly disagrees with, but Adam goes ahead anyway. Adam is accompanied by Tessa to reap various people. Eventually, however, Adam has to reap a 12-year-old girl with a heart condition, which he refuses, and the girl begins to make a miraculous recovery. However, due to the change in the 'natural order', others die instead. Failing in the deal, Adam reaps the girl, admitting that though the natural order sucks, it must be adhered to. While Adam is acting as Death, Ethan summons the angel Balthazar to learn how to prevent his soul from returning to his body. Balthazar admits that there is a spell, but it requires the "blood of the father" - patricide. Since Ethan's father had passed on years ago, a surrogate -Mitch would be necessary. Ethan then attempts to chase down Mitch, who catches on to Ethan's attempt to kill him and tries to stop him. Eventually, Ethan gains the upper hand, and prepares to kill Mitch, only to be stopped and knocked out by Adam. Unsure of what to do about Ethan, Adam is surprised by Death, who has come to reclaim his ring. Adam realizes that Death's game was rigged, and Death brushes off the accusation, revealing that he will still retrieve Ethan's soul as Adam has learned a lesson about the natural order of things. Death also hints to Adam that there is some important realization about human souls that he must discover. Death then appears to Ethan soul in tow, and instructs Ethan not to scratch at the wall he built around the Hell memories. Death then pushes the soul into a screaming and pained Ethan.
 * 12)    "Like A Maiden"- After Death placed Ethan's  damaged soul from Hell into Ethan's body, Ethan  awakens back to his normal state only to have no stable memory of when he was around with no soul. Adam and Ethan  investigate some disappearances of girls who are virgins in Portland, Oregon only to find that dragons are behind the kidnappings. Mitch sends Adam  to Dr. Visyak, a professor in medieval mythology who has had experience in fighting dragons. She tells Adam that in order to kill the dragons, he needs a blade that has been forged in dragon's blood. However, they can use a powerful dragon-killing sword, one of which she has in her basement. Meanwhile Ethan m is researching where the dragon's hideout is and finds out they are staying in the underground sewers. Ethan then begs Gabriel  to be in his presence at which point Gabriel  shows up and tells Ethan everything that has happened while he was soulless. Ethan and Adam  then go into the sewers and find virgin girls locked in a cage. As Adam and Ethan  are attempting to unlock the cage, they are interrupted by two dragons (in human form) and have a fight. They manage to kill one of the dragons while the other one escapes. They end up back at Mitch's and apologizes to Adam  for everything he has done, saying that Gabriel told him everything. Mitch  has learned the dragons are trying to open Purgatory to let something "big" walk the planet named the "Mother of All" and that they are reading an "instruction manual" on how to open it. Meanwhile the dragons still have one of the virgins; they work an incantation and shove her into a fiery pit. The virgin then flies out of the pit possessed by the "Mother of All".
 * 13)    "Not Forgiven"- Ethan  gets a mysterious text message directing him to the town of Bristol, Rhode Island where three women have gone missing in the past week. Upon arriving in the town, they discover that Samuel and Ethan  had been there before, working on a hunt where men had gone missing. However, as time progresses in the town, Ethan's  memories of his prior visit begin to surface, such as beating a suspicious police officer and having sex with various witnesses (who were now the victims). Ethan  is even arrested by the officer who he had beaten, and then confronted with the local sheriff's wife, Brenna Dobbs. Ethan  professes that he has no recollection of what happened, and Brenna frees him from jail. As the investigation continues, Ethan  realizes that he and Samuel had originally hunted an Arachne in the town, and Ethan  used Sheriff Dobbs as bait to lure in the creature. Upon finding Dobbs and the other abducted men, Ethan  successfully killed the Arachne and proceeded to kill the abducted men, as he believed that the men were poisoned and beyond help. It is later shown that the Arachne had not captured the men to feed, but to propagate the species, turning Dobbs and the other victims from a year ago into Arachnes as well, all of whom survived. Dobbs reveals himself by baiting Adam and Ethan  and trapping them in webbing.  While explaining what happened to him, and that the women he kidnapped have all been turned into Arachnes and scattered everywhere, Adam uses a shard of glass to cut the webbing and attack Dobbs. Brenna frees Ethan, who decapitates Dobbs. Ethan  then tries to apologize to Brenna, but she does not wait to hear him. The episode ends with Ethan, having "scratched the wall" as Adam had feared, being gripped in a flashback of his time in Hell and unable to respond to Adam.
 * 14)    "The Mannequin"- Ethan finally recovers from his flashback at the beginning of the episode, and together he and Adam  investigate a strange case in Paterson, New Jersey where a janitor was killed and no one was around. Another murder takes place in another town, and they suspect a ghost controlled a mannequin to kill them. While investigating, Adam  receives a call from Ben telling him Lisa is acting strange and he goes to see what is going on. Ethan  then discovers that both victims used to work together in a factory, and the janitor resigned after the strange death of a female worker called Rose. After a talk with her sister, Ethan  saves another guy that worked in the factory from getting killed and explained to him that he and a group of guys accidentally killed her because of a cruel joke they played on her. Ethan  then leaves and burns the body, thinking the case is solved, although the worker he just saved is killed that same night. After talking to Lisa, Adam  realizes that Lisa has been trying to forget him but he keeps appearing in her life and that she still has feelings for him. Adam then talks to Ben who clearly wants Adam  in their lives. Ethan  then returns to Isabella, Rose's sister, looking for anything she could still be attached to and discovers Rose gave her a kidney when they were younger so if they cut the kidney out Isabella would die. Adam  comes back to see Isabella, but Rose possesses the Impala and tries to kill Adam,  who manages to escape, resulting in the Impala crashing and both sisters finally dying. After that, the brothers have a talk about how they got an innocent girl killed to save those guys and if they are actually doing the right thing.
 * 15)    "The Mix-Up"- After giving them a mysterious key, Balthazar sends the brothers to an alternate reality, where they are called actors named "Wes Bentley" and "Paul Wesley" who actually plays Adam and Ethan in a television show that follows their lives. Furthermore, they discover that everyone and everything they knew in their reality is gone in this reality: nothing paranormal exists, Mitch's house is a set, and "Gabriel"  is Misha Collins. Adam and Ethan attempt to return to their reality, but are hampered by their actors' lives and by the crew of their TV show. One of Raphael's assassins arrives to kill them and slaughters most of the TV crew, but the brothers best him because he has lost all his powers in this reality. Ethan and Adam  are then pulled back into their own universe by Raphael (Lanette Ware). Balthazar and Gabriel  appear and reveal that the key was a ruse to divert Raphael's attentions from the real transaction: Gabriel  now owns the weapons of Heaven that Balthazar stole. Raphael flees the area when Gabriel  threatens him. The brothers are frustrated with Gabriel  using them as a decoy, but Gabriel  is evasive in explaining himself and only says that he will tell them more later.
 * 16)    "And Then... There Was Nothing"- The presence of the Mother of All Monsters—Eve—causes a spike of monster activity in Sandusky, Ohio. Adam, Ethan and Mitch partner up with Bobby's old friend Rufus to track her down. They encounter Samuel and Gwen Campbell, also on the hunt, but Adam  becomes infected by a worm-like monster Eve has recently created to send after them, and kills Gwen under its control. The worm leaves Adam and  infects Samuel, turning him violent and prompting Ethan  to kill him. The corpse attacks Mitch and Rufus when they try to open up Samuel's head to get the worm, but when the corpse is electrocuted, the worm flees, exposing a vulnerability to electricity. Ethan, Adam, Mitch and Rufus all agree to electrocute each other to find out who is now infected with the worm. Eventually, it is revealed that Mitch is the infected, and he kills Rufus. The brothers tie Mitch up and electrocutes him until the worm dies. The episode closes with Mitch  lamenting Rufus and how they had never fully reconciled over a horrible mistake Mitch  had made in the past, while the three remaining hunters bury Rufus. They honor his memory by pouring his favorite drink on his grave.
 * 17)    "My Heart Will Live On"- Adam and Ethan follow up a new case in Chester, Pennsylvania, where people are dying in freak accidents. They determine there are no spirits or monsters involved, and remain at a loss. Inexplicably, Ellen (Jeri Ryan)  and Jo Harvelle are both very much alive; in fact, Ellen is Mitch's wife. She traces the family trees of the victims, discovering their ancestors all immigrated to the United States in 1912 on the Titanic, a ship none of them have ever heard of that narrowly missed an iceberg on its maiden voyage. It is ultimately revealed that Gabriel had given Balthazar the order to go back in time and save the Titanic from ever having sunk, creating a chain reaction in which more souls are produced to fuel Gabriel's side's power in the Heaven civil war. One of the side-effects of the chain reaction is that Ellen and Jo never died. It transpires that Atropos of the three sisters of Fate is responsible for the freak accidents, as she is trying to kill all the descendants of the Titanic survivors who now exist but shouldn't. To protect Ethan and Adam  from the wrath of Atropos—who is already angry at the Barnes  for making her irrelevant—and her sisters—who would kill the brothers in revenge if Gabriel  were to kill Atropos— Gabriel  is forced to undo the timeline and make everything as it was before the episode, including the Titanic having sunk and the Harvelles being dead.
 * 18)    "Frontier"- Mitch discovers that ashes from a phoenix can kill Eve, and Adam  finds Samuel Colt's diary, where he claims to have killed a phoenix in Sunrise, Wyoming in 1862. They call Gabriel so that he can send them back in time. Before transporting them through time, Gabe  explains the risks of sending them so far back and that they will only have 24 hours - longer, and he may not be able to bring them back. In 1862,  the brothers witness the hanging of Elias Finch, who informs the judge, the sheriff, and the deputy that they are all going to burn. Adam and Ethan  learn that Colt is building some railroads 20 miles away from the town. Finch reappears to burn the judge and sheriff to death, and Adam is proclaimed as the new town sheriff. Ethan  finds Colt, presenting himself as a hunter from the year 2012  and gives his cellphone as proof. He tries to convince Colt to help him kill Elias, who is in fact the phoenix. Meanwhile, one of Gabriel's lieutenants, Rachel, confronts Gabe  about his plan to win the war and then tries to kill him. Gabe  is seriously injured but manages to kill Rachel, after which he goes to Mitch's house. He tells Mitch  he won't be able to bring the brothers back unless he can regain his power by touching a human soul, when Mitch  offers up his own. Back in 1862, Adam  uses the deputy as bait for Finch, who can't go through the iron bars protecting him. Finch kills him with a gun instead, and starts to chase Adam. Ethan has has Colt's gun, on loan, and gives it to Adam, who kills Finch with it. Gabe  brings them back to the present before they are able to collect the ashes. Thinking everything is lost, a mysterious package from Samuel Colt arrives, containing a letter, Ethan's phone, and a jar with the ashes of the phoenix.
 * 19)    "Mother Dearest"- Adam, Ethan, Mitch and Gabriel  track Eve to the small town of Grants Pass, Oregon. They discover a bar full of dead people, where Eve changed all of the patrons into vampire/wraith/shapeshifter hybrids, which Adam  names "Jefferson Starships". Police come and arrest everyone but Adam, who follows them to the police station. Ethan  notices that they are also hybrids and kills all but one of them. Gabriel interrogates the hybrid and finds out Eve is at a diner. In the diner, where everyone else is a hybrid, Eve tells Ethan and Adam  that Crowley is still alive and is after the power of the souls, not the purgatory and is also torturing her children. She takes the form of Mary to show them what is mother's love. Her plan is to ruin Crowley's plans by sending souls to Purgatory instead of Hell (only monsters go to Purgatory). Adam refuses to deal, and Eve tries to turn him, but he drank whiskey mixed with phoenix ashes earlier, which poisons her. Gabriel  kills the hybrids and spirits the men away. Ethan, Adam and Mitch  argue because they are suspicious of Gabriel, thinking he let Crowley live. Crowley meets with Gabe at the diner, saying he is tired of cleaning up his messes.
 * 20)    "The Man Who Would Be Sovereign"- Gabriel  is no longer sure that stopping the Apocalypse was the right choice. He also reveals that he was the one that pulled Ethan  from Hell, but didn't have the power to pull him out all the way, though he was unaware of it at the time. Adam lies to Gabriel  to cover up that they are interrogating a demon to find Crowley. Gabriel  goes to meet with Crowley who is doing experiments with Eve's corpse. Crowley thinks the Barnes are distracting Gabriel, and tells him to kill them, but Gabriel  refuses, warning Crowley not to touch the brothers. Gabe observes Ethan, Adam and Mitch while invisible, then saves them from demons, but a slip lets them know their suspicions are correct. Continuing his monologue, Gabe  reveals he started the civil war in Heaven, using 50,000 souls from Hell, because Raphael wanted to raise Michael and Lucifer and resume the Apocalypse. The brothers summon Gabriel and trap him in a circle of holy fire. Adam asks if Gabriel is working with Crowley, and from Gabriel's inability to look him in the eyes, Adam  knows the answer. Crowley then appears to release Gabriel , repeating that the Barnes  are holding him back. Back at Mitch's, Gabriel  appears to Adam , telling him to understand that he is doing this for him. Adam asks him to trust him and stop what he is doing, because he's like a brother to him, but Gabriel  says he won't. Adam  then says he will do anything to stop him. Gabriel  asks God for a sign to see if what he is doing is right or wrong, and says that if God doesn't answer him, he will do whatever it takes. There is no sign.
 * 21)    "Let It Flow"- Crowley has Lisa and Ben kidnapped as a warning to Adam  not to meddle in his plans. The brothers summon Balthazar for help but to no avail. Their investigation takes them and Mitch  to the world of H.P. Lovecraft, who supposedly wrote a manuscript describing Purgatory shortly before his death. They discover that Lovecraft invited guests for a first-hand look into another dimension during a dinner party, where all of them eventually ended up dead or insane. Ethan begs Gabriel for help, who is enraged that Crowley threatened Adam with his loved ones. Gabriel still believes that he is doing the right thing and when Adam  is nearly killed by a demon he is interrogating, Gabriel saves him and kills the demon, promising to save Lisa and Ben but asking Adam  to stand down which he refuses to do. Balthazar meets with Gabriel ; he knows that Gabe  is in league with Crowley, but agrees to help Gabriel to the end. Mitch speaks with the sole survivor of the Lovecraft party back in 1937 to know more details, but inadvertently finds out that the old man's mother is Ellie Visyak (who Adam acquired the dragon-slayer sword from back in "Like a Maiden"), who is actually immortal and originated in Purgatory. She explains to Bobby that she fell through the cracks from the opening of dimensions and has been hiding out on Earth ever since. She refuses to tell Mitch  how to open the gate to Purgatory or accept his help to protect her. Meanwhile, the brothers get help from Balthazar who teleports them to where Lisa and Ben are held. Dean discovers that Lisa is possessed by a demon who stabs her body to convince Adam to stop the exorcism. However, Dean is undeterred and exorcises the demon. He then carries Lisa all the way outside, reunites with Ethan and the group heads for hospital. Lisa is mortally wounded however and as Adam  grieves as she lies dying, Gabriel  appears to help. As a final act of friendship with Adam, he heals Lisa's wounds without being asked and both he and Adam  admit they wish this changed the fact that they are now enemies. As one last favor to Adam, Gabriel  erases Lisa and Ben's memories of Adam so they can live a safe, normal life. Later, Ellie prepares to leave her safe house but Gabriel  arrives and captures her.
 * 22)    "The Man Who Knew Too Much"- Ethan  is on the run from police. A bartender helps him investigate his loss of memory. Ethan  flashes to earlier memories where he is helping Adam and Mitch look for Ellie Visyak, who has been taken by Gabriel.  They eventually find her but she dies from her wounds while escaping from Crowley. Gabriel shows up and breaks the wall in Ethan's mind  when they refuse to stop trying to stop him. In his mind, Ethan fights a ruthless copy of himself (The soulless version from the beginning of the season), eventually winning, and absorbing his memories of the time he was soulless. In the real world, Balthazar betrays Gabriel  by giving up Crowley's hiding place to Adam and Mitch. Ethan travels to Mitch's house in the dream world and meets a third Ethan,  who consists of the memories when he was in Lucifer's cage. "Tortured" Ethan allows Ethan to kill him, who then reintegrates into Ethan's mind. Back in the real world, Gabriel discovers Balthazar's treachery and kills him. Adam and Mitch arrive at Crowley's hideout but are attacked by a cloud of demons. Furious, Gabriel  tries to kill Crowley but discovers that he cannot. Crowley has allied with Raphael as Gabriel  betrayed him. Giving up Ellie's Purgatory blood, Gabriel l escapes, while Crowley recites the spell to open Purgatory with Raphael. Adam and Mitch  recover and storm in but are both easily beaten by Crowley. As Crowley finishes the spell, nothing happens. Gabriel l had switched the jars of Purgatory blood, using the real one to open Purgatory and absorb every soul there. Now all powerful, Gabriel  destroys Raphael, while Crowley escapes. A recovered Ethan  arrives and stabs Gabe with  an angel's sword, but it has no effect. Gabriel proclaims himself as the new God of the world, and tells the group to bow down and profess their love unto him their Lord or he shall destroy them.

Season 7

 * 1) "Meet The New Chief"- Having gained an incredible increase in power by absorbing the souls of Purgatory (the afterlife of monsters) in the previous season finale, Gabriel  (Misha Collins) appoints himself the new God and sets out to right some of the wrongs in the world, but is increasingly disturbed by the entities from Purgatory that are proving difficult for him to control. Adam Barnes (Wes Bentley) Ethan Barnes (Paul Wesley) and Mitch Johnson (Hugh Laurie) ) enlist the help of the demon Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) in securing a spell to summon Death (Julian Richings) and bind him to their will so that they can use him to stop Gabriel. However, Gabriel  intervenes and breaks the binding spell. Death decides not to punish Ethan, Adam and Mitch  for binding him and instead reveals to the group that the entities Gabriel  is struggling with are the Leviathans, God's first creations. They had been locked into Purgatory to prevent them from eating the rest of God's creations. After Gabriel  finds that he has lost control of himself and slaughtered a group of people under the control of the Leviathans, he goes to Adam, Ethan and Mitch for help, and they help him send all the souls he had consumed back into Purgatory. However, the Leviathans remain in Gabriel's  body and assume complete control, revealing that they have killed him from within. Meanwhile, Ethan struggles throughout the episode with psychological fall-out of the "wall" in his mind that had been protecting him from his memories of torture at the hands of Lucifer and Michael in Hell, having been torn down by Gabriel. Ethan  begins hallucinating and sees Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino), who tells him that he was never truly saved from Hell; what has transpired since the fifth season finale "This Is It"  is all an elaborate illusion controlled by Lucifer designed to psychologically torture Ethan by giving him false hope before dashing it.
 * 2) "Hello Cruel Earth"- The Leviathans realize that they can't stay in Gabriel's  rapidly destabilizing body and so walk his body into the local water supply and disperse there, possessing civilians who ingest or otherwise come into contact with the water. Seeking a steady food supply of humans, they infiltrate various human establishments. When Mitch responds to a distress-call from Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes), he discovers that one of these places is Sioux Falls General. Meanwhile, Ethan  continues to see Lucifer and questions if the world he sees is real or if—as Lucifer claims—he is still in Hell. Lucifer urges Ethan  to kill himself in order to end the illusion, but Adam helps Ethan overcome his hallucinations by distinguishing between the pain of real-life and the tortures of Hell. When the brothers return to Mitch's house,  they find it burned to the ground with Mitch  conspicuously absent, leading them to fear the worst. The Leviathan Edgar (Benito Martinez), having been sent to kill them and Mitch, attacks them and though they manage to temporarily stop him by crushing him under a car, Adam's  leg is broken and Ethan doesn't respond to Adam's  frantic attempts to wake him up after Edgar knocks him out with a pipe. While being carted off in an ambulance, both brothers receive a shock: Ethan  is still seeing Lucifer and starts to seize, and Adam  learns that the ambulance is taking them to Sioux Falls General Hospital.
 * 3) "The Girl Next Door"- After being sprung from Sioux Falls General Hospital by a perfectly alive Mitch, Adam and Ethan  join him and lay low for three weeks while Adam's  broken leg heals. In that time, Ethan  has still suffered hallucinations, but has kept quiet about them. While collecting food, Ethan  discovers the return of an unknown serial killer and takes off on his own to find her. In truth, the killer is a Kitsune, a monster who removes the pituitary gland in the brain as nourishment. Ethan  eventually tracks down the monster as an old acquaintance, Amy (Jewel Staite), who years ago he had a crush on while hunting Amy's mother. When Ethan  confronts Amy on the deaths, she reveals that she has a son who needed fresh meat in order to survive an illness brought on by harvesting dead bodies. As Amy had helped protect and defend Ethan, even killing her own mother, Ethan lets her go. Adam  manages to catch up to Ethan  and get the truth to his disappearance, and urges Ethan  to find Amy and kill her. Ethan refuses,  and acknowledges Adam has been treating him like a hand grenade, and emphasizing that he is managing his hallucinations and atoning for his past actions. Adam  agrees to stop badgering him, but later tracks and kills Amy in front of her son because he believes that Amy would have killed more humans in the future. Adam  doesn't kill the son who hasn't killed anyone, but warns that if the son kills anyone, he will. The son promises that the only person he will kill is Adam  Throughout, the Leviathans are shown to maintain an eye on the various rocker aliases of the brothers, using the aliases to catch up to them.
 * 4) "Defending Your Existence"- While investigating a series of murders in Dearborn, Michigan, Adam and Ethan learn that the Egyptian god Osiris is responsible for the killings. A god with nothing but revenge on his mind, Osiris is putting random people on trial for any mistakes they've made in the past and then promptly killing them if they're found guilty. Upon sensing Adam's  guilt, Osiris puts him on trial with Ethan becoming Adam's lawyer. But both Ethan and Adam are stunned when Osiris calls a witness, someone they thought they'd never see again: Jo. Jo however, tries to assure Adam  he had nothing to do with her death. Osiris's second witness is Ethan,  and he again tries to convince Adam that he had nothing to do with how his life turned out. Ethan then calls Adam to stand, and Osiris then poses a question to him, "Does he (Adam)  want Osiris to call the final witness? Or would he like to hear the verdict?" Adam  chooses hearing the verdict, leaving Ethan  stunned, as he doesn't know who this last witness is. Osiris then turns Jo into a vengeful spirit and forces her to try to kill Adam , however, just before she can, Ethan stabs Osiris with a ram's horn, thus saving Adam. The episode ends with Ethan  telling a quizzical Adam  that although he (Ethan)  has done a lot of bad things, he has paid his dues (with Hell), hence feels no more guilt.
 * 5) "Shut It, Dr. Phil"- Adam and Ethan  find cases of individuals meeting gruesome deaths in Prosperity, Indiana. Several of the crime scenes, however, contain ancient Romanian coins, acting as hexed objects. The brothers learn that each victim was connected to Donald Stark (James Marsters), a wealthy businessman, philanthropist and pillar of the community. While Donald assures the brothers that the business deal he and the victims were in had nothing to do with their deaths, Ethan  searches the house and discovers that Donald's wife, Maggie (Charisma Carpenter), is a powerful witch who is currently separating from Donald. In the process, though, Maggie is killing people connected to 'helping' Donald set up a fling with one of the victims. Heading to Maggie's house, Ethan and Adam  learn that Donald's personal assistant is next, and manage to save her before Maggie's curse kills her. Later on, however, it is revealed that Donald himself is a witch, as he uses his powers to destroy Maggie's auction paintings and decapitate her best friend. When Ethan and Adam  realize this, they wait for the two to meet at Donald's house, then try to kill them using a spell with chicken feet. The spell fails, and Ethan suggests they counsel the witches on their failing marriage to prevent them from killing Adam and himself. Although they manage to counsel the witches, they are summarily thrown around and beaten for seeming to side with the other party, until Adam  is able to say that Donald never tried to have a relationship with his receptionist. The two witches reconcile their love, and Adam and Ethan  leave with their lives. At the hotel, however, Ethan and Adam  are confronted by one of the Leviathans, who had been tracking them for days. After almost killing Ethan, the Leviathan is rendered unconscious by a spell from Donald, who had dropped by to save the brothers' lives (initially) from Maggie's coin curses. Adam and Ethan bind up the Leviathan for transport to Mitch's, in order to determine how to defeat the new monsters.
 * 6) "Slash Fiction"- Adam and Ethan are framed for a series of murder-robberies by two Leviathans that take the forms of the Barnes brothers. Mitch  tries to figure out a way to kill the Leviathans using the one they had captured, while Adam and Ethan take refuge with a surveillance expert, who gives them temporary identities to evade authorities. The brothers try to stop the Leviathan pair and track them across the country, discovering that the Leviathans are committing the crimes in every town the brothers have visited since Ethan  left college. Meanwhile, Mitch  continues in the course of finding a way to stop the Leviathans, discovers that decapitation works. However, with the head in close proximity, it eventually re-attaches itself to the torso. The brothers eventually find the Leviathans in Iowa but are arrested by local law enforcement. Mitch  gets a visit from Sheriff Jody Mills, who offers to clean up the cabin and cook some food for Mitch. While cleaning, however, some soapy water spills onto the Leviathan, causing serious burns. Mitch  gives the hostage Leviathan's severed head to Jody, telling her to dump it. Soon after, Adam, given a phone call, contacts Mitch and manages to learn how to at least stall the Leviathan. The local sheriff eventually helps Ethan and Adam  when he sees the Leviathan eating one of the officers and turning into Ethan and Adam. Ethan,  in an interrogation room, is confronted by the Leviathan Adam , who reveals Adam's  killing of the kitsune, Amy. Adam  and the sheriff manage to decapitate the Ethan Leviathan, and then the Adam Leviathan  shortly after, keeping the heads with them to prevent re-attachment. Afterward, however, Ethan confronts Adam about Amy's death, telling him he can't talk to him right now, leaves Adam  and sets forth alone. Meanwhile, one of the Leviathans, disguised as an FBI agent, contacts his superior - a man named Dick Roman - about the recent failure. Crowley then appears to Dick in an effort to build a partnership, but Dick harshly turns Crowley down, considering demons to be even more pathetic than humans, and hinting that he wouldn't mind wiping them off the face of the Earth.
 * 7) "The Channeller"- Adam and Ethan  randomly meet each other when they separately start on the same new case, and realizing it would be easier to work together, reconcile to solve it. They discover that an angry spirit is killing off resident mediums in Lily Dale, New York, the most "psychic" town in America, but with a town full of people claiming to be summoning spirits, they have some trouble finding the true medium who's controlling the ghost. Adam and Ethan  believe they've found the ghost, Kate Fox when they find her giving visions of people's deaths to them, however, the killings continue after they put her to rest and they realize she was actually trying to warn people as her sister is the true ghostly culprit. While Adam  holds off the ghost, Margaret, Ethan locates the psychic, Jimmy Tomorrow, a pawnshop owner. Ethan  is forced to kill Jimmy in self-defense, but is able to salt and burn Margaret's bones and put her to rest, saving Adam and her future victim. Ethan and Adam reconcile their differences over Adam killing Amy and leave town, once again hunting together.

Adam  gets a text from Ethan from his phone  that asks him to come to a church, and finds that Ethan  is getting married to Becky Rosen. Adam is surprised and worried that Ethan might not be thinking straight, but he also finds another piece of disturbing news; people in the town are dying "freaky deaths". As it turns out, Becky has been giving a love potion to Ethan, obtained from a demon in disguise of a Wiccan, who is making deals and calling them in early. However, as this demon is making a deal with Becky, Adam, Ethan  and Garth come busting through the door. The demon is trapped, but reveals that he has a minion named Jackson who frees him and the two gain the upper hand until Becky manages to kill Jackson with Ruby's Knife, after which the Crossroads Demon is overpowered. Before Adam can kill him, Crowley arrives, having been alerted to the demon's plans by Jackson. He tells Adam  that he will rip up any deals made by his rogue demon, and in exchange he wants to take the rogue demon back to hell "to make an example of him." He tells them about Dick Roman and the reason that they haven't recently faced any demons is because they have been too busy hunting down Leviathans, whom he has started to hate. In the aftermath, Ethan  and Becky get an annulment and Ethan  points her towards Garth as a new love interest.
 * 9) "How To Win Family And Influence Monsters"- Following up on a possible sighting of the 'Jersey Devil', Adam, Ethan and Mitch  attempt to figure out what monster is out killing campers in Hammonton, New Jersey, while staying off the grid to avoid being tracked by the Leviathans. During their research, Adam  tries a new Turducken burger at a local burger joint, after he and Ethan  interview the forest ranger, who seems rather unfazed about the recent killings. The three hunters decide to hunt down the creature, coming across the remains of another ranger who went missing recently. Calling in the 1st ranger, he is also taken by the mystery creature; the creature is eventually shot by Mitch. The hunters soon learn that the monster is actually a vicious, hyperadrenalized human-zombie. As they discover this finding, Adam exhibits similar 'stoned' symptoms as the forest ranger had. Eventually, Ethan and Mitch y realize that the cause behind Adam's mind-dulling (and that of most of the burger joint patrons) is the Turducken sandwich, which ends up secreting a grey substance similar to what was within the hyper-zombie. Following the meat to the supplier, the hunters inadvertently discover the base of operations for the Leviathans. It is discovered that the Leviathan were working on a food additive designed to render humans complacent and mindless, potentially for ease of world domination. However, the leader, Dick, appears and closes the project down because the adverse side effects - zombified humans - made headlines, which is something Dick wants to ensure does not happen to keep humans in the dark about their presence. He also dispatches the lead scientist Leviathan, Dr. Gaines, by placing a bib around his neck, and forces Dr. Gaines to eat himself. Mitch, watching everything, is then attacked by another Leviathan and brought to Dick, who reveals that he plans on eating Mitch  in the future, but plans to use him to lure in Ethan and Adam.  The brothers break into the facility and free Mitch , spraying down the Leviathan with Borax to incapacitate and stall them. They then make their escape, with Dick attempting to shoot at the van. Seemingly safe, the brothers discover, to their horror, that Mitch  has been shot by one of Dick's bullets.
 * 10) "Deaths Entrance"- Mitch spends the majority of the episode in a coma, making his way through a network of his own memories, while a reaper follows him in an attempt to secure Mitch's soul. Aided by a representation of his old friend Rufus, he learns that in order to break free of the dream state he must confront and relive his own worst experiences. It is revealed that shortly before he was forced to kill her, Mitch  broke his wife's heart by refusing to have children, motivated by a fear of becoming like his own abusive father. Mitch  is determined to get a cryptic combination of numbers to Adam and Ethan  in the real world, and eventually confronts his memory of the night he, as a child, shot and killed his violent father. Telling the memory of his father that he ended up with two wonderful sons and that he did not allow the childhood abuse to ruin his life, he manages to emerge from his coma long enough to write the numbers on Ethan's  hand, upon which his heart stops. Inside Mitch's  head, he relives one last memory of a night with Adam and Ethan as the dream world around him fades away, and the reaper tells him to make a choice: to let his life go, or stay, and become a ghost. The reaper's watch ticks ominously as the screen cuts to black.

It is revealed that Jeffrey, having harbored a serial killer nature, desperately wishes to reunite with the demon who possessed him so as to continue killing and becoming even more powerful, and required Adam's  blood for the power summoning spell. Ethan, eventually accepting Lucifer's help, finds this out by threatening Nora, who was forced to help Jeffrey when she learned her son was kidnapped. Jeffrey is successful in summoning the demon, though it chooses to possess Nora's son, stating that it succeeded in turning Jeffrey into a killer, and Jeffrey did not need him anymore. Ethan intervenes and manages to trick the demon into stepping into a Devil's trap, while Adam kills Jeffrey, who was intending to stab the demon.

 * 16) "Out With The Old, In With The New"- After a ballerina is found dead from dancing herself to death in Portland, Oregon, Adam and Ethan  look into the case and discover the ballet slippers she wore were cursed. While collecting the slippers, Adam touches the slippers, and begins to be drawn to them, much to his embarrassment (as the slippers attracted those interested or practiced in ballet). Before the slippers take their hold, Ethan and Adam  find the antiques dealer who sold the slippers, and multiple empty curse boxes, as he had sold three other cursed objects. The brothers race to retrieve the cursed objects, although they fail to save one woman, who drinks steaming water from a cursed tea kettle and kills herself. After locking away the cursed objects, the dealer reveals that his mother collected the objects (presumably being a hunter), and was recently killed in a car crash after selling her store to a realtor named Joyce, who has recently been buying up several properties in town. Getting the paranoid Frank to dig into the company and its subsidiary, Adam discovers that it is a Leviathan front. Meanwhile, Ethan, tired from forced sleep deprivation due to Lucifer haunting him, inadvertently attracts the attention of Joyce's assistant, George, while getting a coffee. George then follows Ethan to the antiques dealer. The Leviathans then set up a trap, forcing the dealer to say he touched a cursed object to lure the brothers to the store. Once there, the monsters attack the brothers. However, George, tired of Joyce's belittling behavior and reckless impatience, subtly aids Ethan and Adam  in beheading Joyce, gleefully planning to eat her. Due to their shock, George briefly describes to the brothers that the only real way to kill a Leviathan was to eat them (or force them to eat themselves, via 'bibbing') and that in this situation, he means them and the people of the town no harm. Adam and Ethan then discover that the properties were bought to make way for a research center dedicated to curing cancer, bewildering them as to why the Leviathans would be helping humans. Heading to Frank's trailer with the cursed objects, the brothers find the trailer wrecked on the inside, with blood sprayed everywhere.
 * 17) "The Born-Again Identity"- Lucifer has driven Ethan to the point of mental breakdown, because of which he is now committed to a mental institution.

 * 18) "Party on, Garth"- The episode begins with a death/murder of a teen, caused by an unknown monster in Junction City, Kansas. Then a hunter (Garth) (DJ Qualls) is shown getting out of his car. Garth at first believes it's the ghost of a local legend and torches her bones, however, to his surprise, there is still another dead body reported, hence he decides to call Adam for help. Adam is surprised when he gets a call from Garth asking for the brothers’ help on a case. Adam, Ethan and Garth investigate the case, and find out through a translator that the monster is targeting the children of the owners of a local brewery. They find out that the owners had removed one of their partners, who wasn't in favor of selling the brewery. This partner, Dale, had literally been the brain behind the company, and loved the company like his own child and upon being removed from his position, had taken his own life. They then find out, that before he died, Dale had harnessed a Shōjō (猩猩, a Japanese Sea Spirit), by placing it in a spell box and sending it as an apology to his old partners, making sure that once the box was open, it (the Shōjō), would kill their children. Eventually, Adam kills the Shōjō, with a blessed (by a procedure carried out at the back of a restaurant), samurai blade. Another important story is that of Mitch's ghost. Mitch  has been making his presence felt in the last few episodes, first by dropping the card that led Adam  to the hunter who knew Gabriel /Emanuel, and from then on helping Adam  whenever he gets stuck. For instance, when the Shōjō knocks the blade out of Adam's hand, it immediately glides back into his hand. Ethan tells him it's just his mind playing tricks on him, as Ethan had done a Ouija Board, and had no response. However, Garth, Adam and Ethan both find that whenever an EMF meter is put next to Adam, it lights up. Eventually, when they are about to leave the motel they were staying in, Adam  goes back to get Mitch's flask that he left behind. It is then shown that Mitch  is present through the flask, but Adam's  inability to see him saddens him greatly.
 * 19) "Of Graved Importance- Adam and Ethan get a call from Annie Hawkins (Jamie Luner), an old hunter friend, asking for help on a case in Bodega Bay, California. When they arrive in town, they find out Annie has disappeared. They trace her last whereabouts to an old abandoned house that is haunted by a powerful ghost. Unknown to them, the ghost of Mitch  is following them around, having tied himself to his old flask that they carry. He finds the house populated by mostly mindless ghosts and the spirit of Whitman Van Ness. Mitch discovers the ghost of Annie and the two try to solve the murders. They discover that Van Ness murdered all these people and trapped them in the house, but Mitch gets pulled away when the boys leave before he can learn anything else. Having finally learned how to properly use his ghostly abilities from an arrogant ghost named Haskel Crane, Mitch  is able to leave Adam and Ethan a message that Annie is trapped and that he is still with them. They return to the house where the ghost of a prostitute named Victoria lets them know about Van Ness before he destroys her. Ethan and Adam  head off to find and destroy Van Ness' bones with the ghost following them after he ties himself to an object he places in Ethan's pocket. Mitch  and Annie manage to discover the bodies of all the victims and plan to burn them to put the ghosts to rest. However, after Van Ness attacks them, Adam destroys the object and Van Ness returns to his house where he tries to destroy and absorb Mitch. Just in time, Adam burns Van Ness' bones, destroying him. They return to the house where Mitch  is now visible to the Barnes. Mitch leads them to the remains of Van Ness' victims, including Annie, and they burn them, putting them all to rest. Adam, however, is furious that Mitch  stayed as it's unnatural and he should've moved on. Mitch,  furious, disappears, but listens invisibly in the boys' backseat as they discuss the situation, unsure how to handle it and how it will turn out.

At the same time, Mitch appears to Adam and Ethan and explains the Leviathans' great plot which he learned before Roman killed him: everything they're working towards is to turn humanity into the perfect food source for as long as the Leviathans exist. As Charlie hacks the drive, it automatically sends an email to the brothers letting them know what happened and its location from a GPS tracker on it. Charlie successfully hacks the drive, but learns the truth about the Leviathans and Roman from reading Frank's files on them and then witnessing her boss, Pete (David Stuart), get eaten and replaced by a Leviathan. She runs from her job and encounters Adam and Ethan  who track her down and they team up together to have Charlie infiltrate Dick Roman Enterprises, erase Frank's drive and hack Dick's files so they can learn his plans. She succeeds, learning that what Dick had recently been looking for in archeological sites has been found and Ethan and Adam retrieve it and replace it with a Borax bomb. Dick realizes her betrayal and attacks her, but Mitch  (who tagged along with her through his flask) and the boys rescue her, but Mitch  attacks Dick and displays signs of becoming a vengeful spirit worrying Adam and Ethan  as there's no returning from that. Charlie goes into hiding while Roman worries about the Barnes  figuring out the tablet they stole from him.

Gabriel explains the tablet they found inside the clay is the Word of God, information from God written out on a tablet by Metatron, the celestial scribe, but he lacks the ability to read it. At the same time, Kevin is driven to drive to the hospital where he steals the tablet before Ethan  catches him while Adam  tries and fails to get answers from Gabriel.  Kevin displays the ability to read the tablet which contains information about the Leviathans, but has a hard time with it and two angels arrive to take him away, explaining that he is a Prophet chosen to interpret the Word and that he needs to be taken away to learn to do that. When they try to kill Ethan and Sara, Gabriel  intervenes, but when they still refuse to stop, Adam banishes all three angels. The group make their way to Rufus' Cabin where they ward themselves from angels and have Kevin set to work on translating the tablet while Sara  sneaks out and kills two demons that followed them. This draws the angels' attention, but when one tries to kill Gabriel, Sara  kills her. The other angel allows Kevin to finish the translation before taking him away, but upon his return home, the two angels with him are killed by a Leviathan waiting for him. Adam and Ethan discover that the tablet contains instructions on how to kill a Leviathan: "a bone of a righteous mortal washed in the three bloods of the fallen." The first is a fallen angel and Gabriel gives them a vial of his blood before disappearing.
 * 22) "There Will Be Blood"- Dick forces Kevin Tran, the prophet chosen to read the Word of God to translate the Word for him by threatening his mother. Mitch reveals to the Barnes  that the blood of the remaining fallen, the Ruler of Fallen Humanity and a Father of Fallen Beasts refers to Crowley and an Alpha. They summon Crowley, but he refuses to give up his blood until they get the other items needed, directing them to the Alpha Vampire who escaped before Gabriel could kill him. Along the way, they learn that the domesticating substance has been added to corn syrup and is now everywhere, with people now acting very dumb. Arriving at the location Crowley gave them, they find a bunch of vampires dead from feeding on infected humans and a young woman named Emily who claims that the Alpha kidnapped her as a little girl. With Emily's help, they locate the Alpha, but leave her and the flask behind at a hotel, as Mitch  is showing greater signs of becoming a vengeful spirit. After Emily reveals herself to be loyal to the Alpha and seeing Dick on TV, Mitch possesses a maid and heads off with the flask to get revenge on Dick. Adam and Ethan  are captured by the Alpha who refuses to cooperate due to a deal with Dick, but when Edgar arrives, he has them locked up to hear what Edgar has to say. Edgar reveals that the Leviathans have betrayed the vampires and are using the fact that they and other monsters feed on the infected humans to wipe out all monsters. He tries to kill the Alpha, but Ethan,  having broken free, decapitates Edgar. Grateful to Ethan and Adam  and recognizing they have a common enemy, the Alpha gives them his blood and they leave only to find Mitch gone and realize he's likely lost to them. Meanwhile, Dick summons Crowley into a Devil's Trap, telling him they have a lot to talk about.
 * 23) "Survival Of The Fittest"- Dick speaks to Crowley about a deal: in exchange for giving the Barnes  the wrong blood, Dick will give him and his demons Canada to do whatever they want with as long as they leave America alone. After going through an extensive contract, the deal is struck. At the same time, Adam and Ethan  break into the crypt of a group of nuns and steal a bone of one they feel is righteous enough for the weapon. Hacking into Sucrocorp's security cameras using what Charlie taught them, Adam and Ethan  spy on Dick, but discover that through the arm of the real Dick Roman, he has had many other Leviathans take on his form in order to protect himself and they can't tell which is which. Mitch, still possessing the maid arrives to get his revenge on Dick and when Ethan  tries to stop him, nearly strangles him to death before he regains control of himself and leaves the maid's body. At the same time, Kevin breaks free and discovers that Dick plans to poison creamers to kill off all skinny people, but is recaptured afterwards. Ethan and Adam unsuccessfully summon Crowley while Sara arrives with Gabriel who reveals that he discovered that his entire garrison has been destroyed and if any angels have survived, they are in hiding. Crowley arrives and is furious to see Gabriel , but after realizing he's insane, gives them his blood and explains the deal Dick made with him, assuring them that this is really his blood. He also reveals that Gabe , who refuses to fight anymore, can help them kill Dick. Gabriel  refuses to help and after he disappears to get the game Twister, Sara explains that due to him having the Leviathans inside of him, Gabriel  is able to tell them apart and will be able to identify the real Dick Roman. Mitch  returns, but is now having trouble controlling himself and asks Adam and Ethan to burn his flask. They do so, promising Mitch  that they will finish Dick, but not out of vengeance. Afterwards, Gabriel agrees to help and Adam has Sara  crash the Impala into Sucrocorp to attract the guards' attention while he, Ethan and Gabriel sneak in. Sara decapitates the guards, but is captured by demons working for Crowley. Ethan rescues Kevin who explains to him Dick's plan to kill the skinny people and the two head off to blow up the lab. Adam and Gabriel confront Dick in the lab, but when Adam stabs him through the heart with the weapon, it fails to kill him. However, Adam  reveals this to be a trick and while Gabriel  holds Dick in place from behind, stabs Dick through the neck with the weapon, killing him. However, Adam and Gabriel disappear and Crowley betrays Ethan , taking Kevin and planning to become the next major threat. Crowley also has an army of demons in the building dealing with the remaining Leviathans located there now that Dick is dead. Adam and Gabriel  find themselves in Purgatory surrounded by monsters and Gabriel disappears on Adam.

Season 8

 * 1) "We Need To Talk About Kevin"- A year after he was sucked into Purgatory, the afterlife of monsters, Adam Barnes (Wes Bentley) finally escapes with the help of a vampire named Benny Lafitte (Ty Olsson). As part of their deal, Adam smuggles Benny's soul out of Purgatory and resurrects him before they go their separate ways; Adam's friend Gabriel (Misha Collins), who had been trapped in Purgatory with him in the previous season finale, is conspicuously absent and Adam  later reveals that the angel did not make it out of Purgatory with him and Benny. Adam  travels to the safe house in Whitefish, Montana, where he meets up with his brother Ethan (Paul Wesley), who he learns had given up the "family business" of hunting monsters to lead a normal life with a dog and a girlfriend named Amelia Richardson (Liane Balaban) while Adam was gone.  Tension springs up between the brothers because Ethan  did not even try to save him, Gabriel, , or the prophet under their protection, teenager Kevin Tran (Osric Chau) who had been kidnapped a year ago by the demon Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard). When Adam checks Ethan 's discarded phones, he discovers that Kevin has in fact escaped from Crowley on his own and is now on the run, and he and Ethan  track him down. Kevin explains that Crowley took him to make him translate the Word of God tablet about demons and help him unleash all demons onto Earth, but that he had managed to escape with the tablet, which he has hidden elsewhere for safe-keeping. He also reveals that the tablet has a way to send all demons to Hell and lock them away forever. The Barnes  immediately want to find the tablet and use the spell to banish the demons, but are interrupted by the arrival of demons who have been following them to find Kevin, including Crowley himself, who is being accompanied by Kevin's possessed girlfriend, Channing Ngo (Lissa Neptuno). Crowley demands that Kevin come with him and return the tablet, but Kevin once again outwits him and escapes with the Winchesters. Crowley then murders Channing to spite Kevin. The episode ends with Adam  receiving a secret call from Benny, who seems to be questioning life outside of Purgatory. The two try to maintain some distance from each other, but Adam  tells Benny he should call in an emergency.
 * 2) "What's Up Zappy Mommy?"- Kevin demands that Adam and Ethan  take him to his mother, Linda Tran (Lauren Tom), to make sure she is safe. They find that she is being watched by demons, and kill the demons and rescue her. The group then goes to retrieve the tablet Kevin hid, only to find that it has been stolen by Plutus (Gerard Plunkett), who is auctioning it off along with other rare paranormal items. Adam, Ethan,, Kevin, and Linda attend the auction to find a way to get it back. Crowley comes to the auction as well, also seeking the tablet. When the tablet and prophet Kevin (who is involuntarily included in the auction to raise bids) are sold to Linda for the price of her soul, Crowley possesses her and steals the tablet. He is forced to flee her body when Adam  comes close to killing him, but still manages to get away with the tablet. Angry that Adam  tried to kill his mother, Kevin decides to take his mother and leave for fear that their association with the Barnes will  get them killed. Meanwhile, Adam  has recollections from his time in Purgatory: after much searching, he and Benny locate Gabriel. Benny demands to know why Gabriel  had abandoned Adam when the two of them first landed in Purgatory, and Gabriel  reveals that it had been to keep the leviathan hunting him away from Adam. Though, Gabriel warns Adam  that he should stay away from him, Adam  is adamant that he won't leave without Gabriel  and the three of them start to look for the way out of Purgatory. However, the last shot of the episode is a disconcerting flashback of a screaming Gabriel being left behind at the portal out of Purgatory.
 * 3) "Heavy Heart"- Although Ethan wants to focus on finding Kevin and the demon tablet, Adam suggests that they take on a case involving a murderer taking a human heart every six months. Tracking down the crimes from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Boulder, Colorado, the Barnes discover that all the murders were committed by different people, all with no prior history of violence, and that each likely suspect had an alibi for the other murders. After one of their suspects (Paul Boyle) stabs himself in the eye, Adam learns that each killer had received an organ transplant from the recently deceased athlete Brick Holmes. The Barnes also learn that "Brick" was actually a Mayan athlete who had made a deal with an ancient god to live forever and excel at various sports under different aliases over the centuries in exchange for sacrifices of human hearts each year. When Brick fell in love with a mortal woman (Patty McCormack) in the 1940s, they stayed together even after she became so old she had to pose as his mother. Eventually, he committed suicide because he couldn't stand the thought of living without her. The recipients of his organs enjoy the power they are suddenly bestowed with and are eager to carry out the murders to fulfill Brick's deal with the god. Brick's wife tells the brothers that they must destroy Brick's heart to end the murders. Upon tracking down the woman who received Brick's heart (Kyra Zagorsky), Adam and Ethan stab her in the heart, sparking a chain reaction that results in the deaths of not only the woman but also the recipients of Brick's other organs. Meanwhile, Ethan  contemplates returning to normal life after they have sealed the gates of Hell, though Adam, having come to re-embrace and enjoy the violence of hunting while in Purgatory, refuses to entertain the notion and wants to keep hunting with Ethan.
 * 4) Bitten"- Most of the episode is presented as found footage from the perspective of three film school students: Brian (Leigh Parker), Michael (Brandon W. Jones), and Kate (Brit Sheridan).

Trying to find out what's happening to him, Michael, Brian, and Kate spy on Adam and Ethan, who are trying to find a werewolf who's been biting and killing people at the college Brian, Michael, and Kate attend; this werewolf, Ethan and Adam  reveal, is a "pureblood" werewolf that possesses some unique qualities, including retaining a greater degree of awareness when it transforms than other werewolves. Brian privately realizes that the pure-blood werewolf is one of his professors (David Lewis) and blackmails him into turning him into a werewolf, too. He tells the horrified Michael and Kate what he's done, revealing that he did it because he is jealous of Michael for having power and Kate's love. Brian and Michael fight and Brian kills Michael in the struggle before turning Kate into a werewolf against her will so that they can be together. However, a vengeful Kate kills Brian instead; the two bodies Adam and Ethan  found at the house are Brian and Michael. Kate edits all their footage together into a movie for Ethan and Adam  to watch and understand what happened, finishing with a promise that she will feed off of animal hearts and not harm humans, asking for a chance to live in peace. At that point, Adam and Ethan  (having killed Brian's professor before tracing one of Brian's cameras to the students' home at the start of the episode) finish watching the video. Because Kate is a pureblood werewolf who can control herself and hasn't hurt anyone human, Adam and Ethan  agree to give her the chance she asked for.

During the investigation, more murders occur over seemingly small incidents, leading the Barnes  and Garth to discover that the murderers are possessed by a specter, similar to a ghost, but possessing people to get revenge for them rather than its own gain.

Adam  agrees to come see him as soon as he can. Meanwhile, having spotted Ethan  at the end of the previous episode, Amelia comes to his motel room and they end up making love. They discuss their feelings for each other and, tired of her uncertainty in her relationship with Ethan, Amelia proposes a test to settle things once and for all: if they both show up at the same place in two days, they will continue their relationship, even though that means Amelia will have to leave her husband; if they're not both there, they know their relationship is over for good. At the same time, the angel Samandriel (Tyler Johnston), who is being held captive and tortured by Crowley's forces, sends out a distress call to Naomi and Naomi sends Gabriel  to rescue him. Gabriel asks Adam for help  and they track Samandriel to Geneva, Nebraska. As they are outnumbered, Gabriel goes against Adam's wishes,  by bringing in a reluctant Ethan to help.
