He manages to escape his coffin, but is ambushed by an unknown entity that manifests as a light that shatters glass and hurts his ears.  when it tries to speak to him. Believing that Ethan made a deal with a demon to bring him back, he tracks Ethan down near where he had been buried, but Ethan is just as surprised at Adam's resurrection as he himself, having tried and failed to bring Adam back.  It is later revealed to the audience that Ethan's s psychic abilities have advanced greatly, as he is now able to exorcise demons with them. It is also revealed that he is now intimately involved with the Barnes  shady demon ally Ruby (Genevieve Cortese), who has returned from wherever Lilith sent her in their last confrontation. Adam and Ethan's friend Mitch Johnson brings the Barnes to a psychic named Pamela Winchester  (Traci Dinwiddie) for help in discovering what pulled Adam  out of Hell. Pamela does find out the name of the being Gabriel, but the sight of Gabriel  burns her eyes out, resulting in her becoming permanently blind, when she disregards his warnings and tries to look at him. Sick of being toyed with, Adam decides to summon the thing together with Mitch while Ethan is away (having his own secret rendezvous with Ruby) in order to find out what it wants, and they perform a ritual to summon it. Gabriel  ( Misha Collins) appears  appears, revealing himself to be an angel, not a demon, to a skeptical Adam. He explains that he is responsible for dragging Adam out of Hell.
 * 2) "Rise Of The Witnesses"-Mitch asks the Barnes  for help when fellow hunters of his are being torn apart by vengeful spirits. Ethan is haunted by FBI Agent Herrison   who died in the explosion caused by Lilith; the ghost accuses Ethan  of failing him. Together with Mitch, they find out that they're being haunted by the spirits of the people they couldn't save, which is called "The Rising of the Witnesses," a sign of the upcoming Apocalypse. Sara Marks ( Jessica Alba)  and two twin girls also appear and haunt Adam, Ethan and Mitch. The three find a spell to put the  Witnesses to rest, but have to leave the panic room they are hiding in to do it. As Ethan and Adam hold off the spirits, Mitch performs the spell, but Sara  tries to kill him. Adam  manages to complete the spell and the Witnesses are put to rest. Later, Gabriel appears to Adam  in a dream and reveals that "The Rising of the Witnesses" is one of many seals, which are being broken by Lilith in order to bring on the Apocalypse, in which Lucifer the fallen angel will walk the earth free.
 * 3) Ethan sneaks out of the motel he and Adam  are staying at to meet up with Ruby once again. Gabriel appears beside Adam's bed to transport Dean back in time to 1973 in Lawrence, Kansas with the cryptic warning that he must "stop it." There, Adam meets a younger John Barnes (Matt Cohen) and Maria Campbell (Amy Gumenick). The family reunion gets bigger when Adam  meets his and Ethan's  maternal grandparents, Samuel (Mitch Pileggi) and Deanna Campbell (Allison Hossack), who are hunters who have brought Maria up in the life, thus making Maria a hunter as well. However, there is even more to this than Adam  had imagined, as Maria  had made a desperate deal with Kal-Zor that resulted in his appearance the night she died. Adam also finds out that Kal-Zor had fed Ethan his own blood  that night as part of a plan that Kal-Zor hints is even bigger than previously thought. Adam fails to kill Kal-Zor or save his family, and when Gabriel returns him to his rightful time, he admits that there was no changing that because it was meant to happen. Gabriel and the angels only wanted Adam to find out what Kal-Zor was up to for himself. Gabriel then sends Adam to find Ethan,  warning him to stop Ethan  from going down the dark path he is on, or Gabriel will, indicating that he will kill Ethan if necessary.
 * 4) After watching Ethan harness his powers and realizing that the woman he is with is Ruby, Adam  angrily confronts his brother. Distance and tension is put between the two brothers as Adam realizes that Ethan is tapping into the demonic blood inside him with Ruby's help and lying to him about it. Ethan argues that he is able to save people and exorcise demons at the same time, but Adam reveals to Ethan what Gabriel said. A hunter who has known the Barnes for years calls on Adam and Ethan  for help in a case in Carthage, Missouri involving a man who is going through a metamorphosis into a Rugaru—a monstrous creature that consumes human flesh. During the hunt, Ethan lashes out at Adam, saying he is tired of how Adam  looks at him like a freak. Tension mounts between them even further as they disagree on how to deal with the man, with Ethan  advocating that they try reasoning with him so that he can try to control himself and Adam believing that the man can't help but give into his monstrous nature. Despite attempting to prevent it, the man completes his transformation when Ethan and Adam's  friend tries to kill both him and his pregnant wife and he can't overcome his instincts anymore. He kills the hunter, but retains enough control to spare his wife. When the man tries to kill Adam, Ethan  is forced to kill him by burning him alive. Seeing what the man went through, Ethan decides to stop using his powers.
