He dreams that he's talking with his brother Adam (Wes Bentley), who is trying to convince him to fight to live, and their late friend Mitch Johnson (Hugh Laurie) , who is trying to convince him to let go and die. Ethan decides to follow "Mitch's"  and crosses paths with Death himself (Julian Richings) again. Death explains that he has come to pay Ethan  the honor of reaping him personally, and Ethan agrees to go with him so long as his death is permanent this time in attempt to prevent the suffering and death his and Adam's resurrections have caused in the past. Meanwhile, the archangel Gabriel (Misha Collins) has been turned into a human. He meets another angel, who is later revealed to have plans to possess him, as the body she is in now is deteriorating due to its inability to contain her. Gabriel kills her to prevent her going through with her threat of disclosing his location to other angels, who seek revenge on him for locking them out of Heaven. Not knowing this, an increasingly desperate Adam  prays to angels for help in saving Ethan's life ; this causes them to come attack Adam . However, one angel, Ezekiel (Tahmoh Penikett), has come to answer Adam's prayers. Due to the extensive damage wrought on Ethan's body , he finds that he is unable to heal Ethan with a touch as angels normally can. As he has been injured in the fall from Heaven, he suggest that he possess Ethan so he can heal him from the inside while at the same time healing himself. Adam agrees to this, and Ezekiel takes on Adam's form to talk to Ethan  in his head, using Adam's  appearance and ambiguous wording to trick Ethan into letting Ezekiel possess him. With Adam's agreement, Ezekiel erases Ethan's memory of the event and stays hidden in Ethan while secretly healing him.
 * 2) "Devil May Care"- Adam and Ethan  take the captive King of Hell Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard) to the Men of Letters bunker to try to get the locations of all the demons on Earth from him. Meanwhile, his demonic rival Abaddon (Alaina Huffman) starts a movement to take over Hell. With the help of three demons that take soldiers as hosts, Abaddon captures two hunters and uses them to lure Adam and Ethan into a trap outside Eugene, Oregon. Ezekiel briefly takes control of Ethan and kills the three demons, causing Abaddon to flee. Ethan continues to be unaware of his possession, as Ezekiel made it look like Adam killed the demons. The Barnes'  prophet ally Kevin Tran (Osric Chau) searches for a way to reverse Metatron's spell and kill Abaddon. He confronts Crowley, who claims that Kevin's mother Linda isn't dead. Kevin tries to leave the bunker to find Linda himself, but Adam  convinces him not to go by telling him that he's family and that even if his mother is alive, she is as good as dead.
 * 3) "I'm No Angel"- An angel faction led by Bart (Patrick Wilson), uses an internet preacher to encourage devout people to agree to being possessed by the multitude of fallen angels now wandering the earth. Bart is also actively hunting for Gabriel, who is out on his own and struggling to find any stable shelter and food. Increasingly desperate, Gabriel meets April Mercer (Shannon Lucio), who offers him food, takes him into her home, and tends to him, leading to them making love. The morning after, however, April reveals herself to be a rogue reaper hired by Bart  to find him. After torturing Gabriel  for information on Metatron, she kills him when Adam and Ethan  arrive to rescue him. Adam kills her in retribution and has Ezekiel resurrect Gabriel , lying to the others by saying that he had tricked April into resurrecting Gabriel  before he killed her. Gabriel  is relieved to finally have a place to stay at the bunker with his friends, but Ezekiel, fearing that Gabriel  will draw angry angels to them, forces Adam to kick Gabriel out.
 * 4) "Slumber Party"- In 1936,  Dorothy (Ellen Page) of The Wizard of Oz fame captures the Wicked Witch of the West (Maya Massar) and brings her to the Men of Letters bunker. Unable to find a way to kill her, Dorothy traps herself and the Witch inside a jar. In the present, Adam and Ethan discover that the bunker's map table is connected to an ancient computer. They call in their tech-savvy friend Charlie Bradbury (Felicia Day) in the hopes that she can rewire the computer to track the fallen angels, but while they're in the room containing the computer, Adam  accidentally releases Dorothy and the Witch. The four hunters work together to stop the Witch's plan to use a key to Oz somewhere in the bunker to bring her minions in Oz to the human world. Adam recognizes the key from his sorting through the bunker's artifacts, but the Witch takes advantage of his knowledge to steal it for herself and begin opening the door to Oz. The witch kills Charlie but Adam forces Ezekiel to bring her back, still hiding everything from Ethan. She puts Ethan and Adam  under her control to find the girls and kill them. Charlie figures out that the Oz books held clues from Man of Letters L. Frank Baum to Dorothy—his daughter—on how to defeat the Witch. After Charlie stabs the Witch to death using the pointed heel of the ruby slippers—thus freeing Adam and Ethan from the Witch's control—Dorothy uses the key to return to Oz and free it from the evil forces. Charlie takes her up on her invitation to go with her, as she has been longing for fantastical adventures of that kind ever since she became a hunter.
 * 5) "Dog Adam Afternoon"- A taxidermist (Forbes Angus) in Enid, Oklahoma is constricted to death by a man with snake-like traits, and a shelter worker (Kris Neufeld) is killed by the same man but now with cat-like traits after eating a cat whole. Adam and Ethan  investigate and find the taxidermist's dog, The Colonel, who witnessed both murders. Adam  casts a spell that allows him to communicate with animals but causes him to take on dog-like traits. They question The Colonel (voiced by Al Rodrigo) and various other animals, discovering that the killer is a man named Chef Leo (Steve Valentine) who is using shamanism to take on the traits of various animals by eating them. Chef Leo attacks and mortally wounds Ethan, but Ethan quickly recovers due to Ezekiel healing him. Chef Leo witnesses this and captures Ethan. Chef Leo has been trying to find a way to cure his cancer by gaining the abilities of different animals, and now he hopes to acquire Ethan's healing power by eating him. Adam  calls a pack of dogs to maul Chef Leo to death. Adam  takes The Colonel to a new home with loving owners and the spell wears off, returning Adam to normal.
 * 6) "Heaven Can't Wait"- Four people mysteriously combust in Rexburg, Idaho, where Gabriel  is working as a sales associate at a gas station. He calls Adam, who leaves Ethan and Kevin  at the bunker doing research, to investigate with Gabriel. They visit the crime scene of the newest victim, and Gabriel recognizes it as the work of a Rit Zien, a class of angel healers who are able to mercy-kill mortally wounded angels. Unable to differentiate between the temporary and permanent pains of humans, the Rit Zien has been killing those suffering from any distress. Gabriel  leaves the investigation to go to his boss's house, thinking she'd asked him for a date, but finds that she'd actually wanted him to babysit her infant daughter. There, Gabriel l is attacked by the Rit Zien angel Ephraim (Ashton Holmes), who heard his inner pain and is there to kill him. With Adam's assistance, Gabriel kills the Rit Zien instead. Adam then leaves Gabriel to his normal life. At the bunker, Kevin is only able to translate the angel tablet into an obscure form of cuneiform. Ethan and Kevin  make a deal with Crowley: in exchange for allowing him to contact Abaddon with a blood spell, he will translate the tablet for them. After communicating with Abaddon and having her tell him that she has seized control of Hell and is stamping out all his work and followers to remove his influence, a subdued Crowley translates the tablet for Ethan  and Kevin and tells them that Metatron's spell is irreversible. Later, Ethan catches Crowley injecting himself with Kevin's blood for an unknown reason.
 * 7) "Bad Boys"- Adam gets a call from Sonny (Ralph Fiennes), an old friend who runs a reform school in Hurleyville, New York, asking for his help when a man is mysteriously killed at the school. Ethan learns that Adam (Cody Christian in flashbacks) spent two months at the school in 1996 after he got caught stealing food. Instead of it being a hard time for Adam, he enjoyed it and flourished, along the way having his first romance with a girl named Robin (Sarah Desjardins). On the night of a school dance, Adam's father returned to take him back home and, despite Sonny's offer to let him stay permanently, Adam elects to leave to reunite with Ethan (Hunter Dillon in flashbacks). In the present, Adam meets up with Robin (Erin Karpluk) again, though she initially pretends not to recognize him out of hurt that he had abandoned her without a word back then. They eventually patch things up. Adam and Ethan  go to the reform school, where they talk with a boy named Timmy (Sean Michael Kyer), whose mother is a ghost who has been protecting him from perceived threats at the cost of going murderously insane from being tied to Earth. She tries to kill Ethan, Adam  and Robin, but is stopped by Timmy with Adam's encouragement. Timmy tells his mother to move on and she listens to her son, returning to her normal self as she departs.
 * 8) "Rock And An Iron Place"- Suspecting that the mysterious disappearances she is investigating in Hartford, South Dakota, are linked to the paranormal, due to unusual reports she is getting, Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) calls in Adam and Ethan to help her with the case. Adam and Ethan realize that the victims all belong to the same church chastity group and so go undercover as new members to continue investigating. Adam  discovers that the group councilor, Suzy Lee (Susie Abromeit), is one of his favorite porn stars; unhappy with her old life, she has quit the porn industry and is trying to turn over a new leaf. Wooing her with his genuine admiration for her and her work, he seduces her at the same time that Ethan and Sheriff Mills realize that the people taken are members of the chastity group who have broken their vows of chastity. Before Ethan and Sheriff Mills can get to them, Adam  and Suzy are kidnapped and imprisoned in an old fallout shelter where the rest of the victims are being kept (save one who has already been taken away). Adam manages to call Ethan and though the call cuts out quickly, the sound of a train whistle in the background clues Ethan  and Sheriff Mills in to Adam's location. hey also deduce that they are dealing with the goddess Vesta (Lindy Booth), who has been posing as a member of the chastity group to select her victims. Sheriff Mills manages to kill Vesta and she, Adam, and Ethan  (who breaks free of confinement) rescue the surviving victims. However, Ethan remains troubled by Vesta's words about him barely being kept alive. Seeing his brother's distress, Adam is about to tell him the truth, but Ezekiel reemerges and warns him not to.
 * 9) "Holy Dread"- A civil war starts between angels working for Bart and angels working for Malachi, an anarchist, both of whom want to rule the fallen angels, which will end in disaster. Adam and Ethan initially investigate with Gabriel, but Ezekiel makes Adam send Gabriel away. Desperate, Gabriel  prays for help and is met by an angel named Muriel who is neutral in the war. Gabriel convinces her to hear him out and she explains what she knows, but he is captured by Malachi and another angel named Theo who were tracking Muriel. Malachi tortures Gabriel  for information on Metatron, killing Muriel to try to force him to tell him what he knows. He reveals that many angels died in the Fall from Heaven, including Ezekiel. Malachi leaves Gabriel alone with Theo who wants to defect to Metatron's side. Gabriel  tricks Theo into releasing him, then steals his grace, turning him back into an archangel and at least partially restoring his powers. After escaping, Gabriel calls Adam  to warn him about "Ezekiel." At the same time, Metatron (Curtis Armstrong) meets with "Ezekiel," who is revealed to actually be Gadreel, the appointed guardian of the Garden of Eden until he let Lucifer in and fell into disgrace in the eyes of the Heavenly Host. He was imprisoned in Heaven's dungeon for not stopping Lucifer and was only released by the Fall. Metatron, having grown bored with his solitary rule of Heaven, proposes working together to restore Heaven with angels that they like. Gadreel is initially reluctant, but agrees and is given orders by Metatron to kill Kevin to prove his allegiance. After learning the truth from Gabriel, Adam uses a sigil to knock Gadreel out so that he can tell Ethan the truth, but "Ethan" knocks him out and reveals himself to really be Gadreel, having altered the sigil so it gave him control rather than Ethan. Gadreel kills Kevin and leaves, taking with him the angel and demon tablets, but leaves Adam  alive to mourn the loss of Kevin and Ethan.
 * 10) "Road Trip"- Metatron orders Gadreel to carry out two more murders, including an old friend of Gadreel's (Jude Law). Though Gadreel hesitates to kill his friend, he goes through with it in the end. Back at the bunker, Gabriel informs Adam that Crowley can bypass the angel and help them talk directly with Ethan, who can then cast Gadreel out. After they find and capture Gadreel, he proves immune to Crowley's methods of torture so Adam reluctantly agrees to allow Crowley to possess Ethan  to communicate with him directly. With Crowley's encouragement, Ethan manages to expel Gadreel who repossesses his old vessel to continue his work for Metatron. Abaddon, having tracked them down, arrives and Crowley stays behind to hold her off while Adam, Ethan, and Gabriel  escape. Crowley tells Abaddon that rather than the bloody battle between the two of them she has been anticipating, they are in the middle of a "campaign" to win the hearts of their demonic subjects for rulership of Hell. He then leaves before Abaddon can attack him. Meanwhile, it is discovered that Gadreel has restored enough of Ethan's health that Gabriel can take over healing him through conventional means. Adam tells Ethan that he is going to hunt Gadreel alone as he believes that he causes too much hurt to those around him. Hurt by Adam's trickery, Ethan  tells him that Gadreel is not their problem, but refuses to elaborate, instead bidding Adam to go.
 * 11) "First Born"- Crowley approaches Adam for help with finding the First Blade, the only known weapon that can kill Abaddon. Following clues, Adam and Crowley discover that Adam's father had once worked with a hunter named Tara who spent years searching for he Blade. Finding Tara, they cast a locator spell she found that leads them to the "retired" demon Cain (Timothy Omundson), who had trained—and then killed—all the other Knights of Hell except Abaddon, who had escaped his wrath. Cain refuses to help them, even letting in a group of other demons to fight Adam and Crowley, who kill them. Cain reveals that he wants revenge on Abaddon, as she murdered his wife, but is unable to exact it himself because he is bound by his promise to his wife not to kill anymore. Cain also reveals that the spell led them to him because his Mark (the brand Lucifer marked him with when he turned him into a demon) is the source of the Blade's power and he can transfer it to someone worthy. Despite Cain's warnings of an unknown but terrible cost, Adam agrees to bear the Mark so that he can kill Abaddon. Cain asks for Adam to kill him after killing Abaddon and sends him and Crowley to safety as he single-handedly defeats a swarm of demons that arrived to kill them. Having picked up on Crowley giving himself away in small but tell-tale ways, Adam confronts Crowley on having been deceiving and manipulating him all along, including having allowed Tara to be questioned, tortured, and killed by demons so that they would find him and Adam and Adam  could prove himself worthy to Cain for the Mark. However, Adam can't retaliate against Crowley yet because he still needs Crowley to retrieve the First Blade from the bottom of the ocean. Running parallel to this plot is Ethan and Gabriel's attempts to harvest the part of Gadreel's grace that is still inside Ethan so that they can use it to track the angel. Removing the grace causes Ethan  to start reverting into the state he was before Gadreel possessed him, but Ethan refuses to let him stop until they get all the grace they need, even if it means his death. Due to his own brief humanity, Gabriel empathizes with Ethan's desire to make up for the people who've died from the choices he, Adam, and Ethan have made, but refuses to risk killing Ethan, instead stopping and finishing healing Ethan and eliminating the last of the grace. The spell turns out to be unsuccessful because they didn't get enough grace. Gabriel  leaves to track Metatron, who he believes holds the key to fixing everything.
