Episodes

 * 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 2009. 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.
