|outline= Men are killing their loved ones while under the influence of a siren.
|motw= [[SirensSiren]]
|timeline= Jan/Feb 2009
|location= Bedford, Iowa<br />
Adam Benson comes home late from work, to be met by his wife Vicki, making his dinner and teasing him about being late. Adam responds angrily. Vicki then tells him she has accepted an invitation to a friend's birthday on Saturday. Adam is again angry, and this time he picks up a meat tenderizer and kills her.
In a motel room somewhere [[Dean ]] wakes, and overhears [[Sam ]] in the bathroom speaking to someone on the phone, talking about demonic signs. When Sam returns to the bedroom, Dean pretends to be asleep. When he "wakes', " Sam says he was talking to [[Bobby ]] about murders in Bedford, Iowa, where three men have killed their wives.
Disguised as FBI agents, Sam and Dean visit Adam, who is deeply remorseful and eventually confesses he was deeply in love with a stripper called Jasmine. Adam knows nothing about Jasmine other than that she worked at a club called the Honey Wagon.
Sam visits [[Dr. Cara Roberts]], a doctor who conducted the autopsy on the victims, and took blood samples from the accused. She tells Sam that the men had high levels of oxytocin Oxycontin in their blood, a hormone associated with being in love. When Dean arrives, he is disconcerted at the flirting between Sam and Dr Roberts.
Dean and Sam visit the Honey Wagon, where each of the men had fallen for a different stripper. Information from Bobby indicates that they may be dealing with a [[Sirens|Sirensiren]], a creature known from Greek mythology, who disguises itself as the perfect mate to lure men.
At the club Lenny Bristol is enamored with a stripper called Belle. They return to his home, where Lenny cares for his invalid mother. After making love, Belle tells Lenny they can be together forever if he kills his mother, which he does.
The next day, while Dean is alone in the hotel room he dials the last number on Sam's phone - [[Ruby ]] answers, and he immediately hangs up. Sam returns with news of the murder committed by Lenny Bristol. Bobby calls and informs the boys that the "spell" the men are under is some kind of venom, and that the only way to kill the Siren is with a bronze dagger dipped in blood from one of its victims, so she is poisoned with her own venom. The difficulty is finding someone currently under her spell.
Sam and Dean visit Dr. Cara Roberts with the intention of obtaining a blood sample taken from one of the men while he was still under the Siren's spell. They are met by a [[Nick Munroe]] who introduces himself as an FBI Agent and challenges their legitimacy. They tell him to call their supervisor, Mike Kayser, who is actually Bobby, answering a specially labeled phone in his kitchen. Satisfied, Monroe reveals he has also found the link between the men and the strippers. Sam suggests Dean go with him to keep him busy, while Sam gets the blood sample.
When Sam returns to the hotel room, Dean grabs him, and holds a knife to his throat, even cutting Sam on Nick's command. Nick describes what a high he gets from having people fall in love and kill for him. Nick then spits venom at Sam infecting him. He tells the brothers that he knows they have issues with each other and that they should fight it out. The survivor will be with him forever.
Dean tells Sam he feels Sam has changed, and knows that he is lying and hiding things from him. Sam reveals the reason is that he wants to hunt Lilith and that Dean is not a strong enough hunter. He taunts Dean about his anguish over his time in [[Hell]]. The boys fight violently, smashing through the room door into the hall. Dean gets the better of Sam and is about to swing at him with a fire axe, when Bobby appears and stabs him with a dagger. He then uses the dagger with Dean's infected blood on it to stab the Siren. It dies, and we see its true hideous form revealed. The spell is broken. The next day [[Bobby]] bids farewell to the boys, and they both uneasily apologize for their harsh words, claiming they had no lasting effect.
