Changes

It appears Kevin can interpret the Word. However, two [[angel]]s named [[Hester]] and [[Inias]] arrive to take Kevin, whom they reveal is a [[prophet]], to the desert to read the Word, but [[Dean]] banishes them, and [[Castiel]], with an [[angel banishing sigil]].

Along with [[Meg]] and [[Castiel]], [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] take Kevin to [[Rufus's cabin]]. Dean takes Kevin to the basement where he starts to translate the Word. Soon the enormity of what has happened gives him a panic attack. Dean gets him to breath into a paper bag to calm down. He tells Kevin not to worry about why he was chosen. Kevin replies that he just wants to be the first Asian-American President of the United States.

At the beginning of the episode we see Kevin in [[Dick]]'s office taped and gagged. [[Dick]] wants him to translate the tablet for him. Kevin refuses, but when faced with the image of his [[Linda Tran|mother]] being imprisoned and having a knife put to her throat, he agrees.

Kevin is still held captive by [[Dick]] at [[SucroCorp]]. He meets a young girl named Polly, who is under the influence of the [[Leviathan]] additive. He manages to pick the lock of the door to the room he's in and escape. Kevin spots Dick and the other Leviathans having a meeting, then heads for the exit only to be re-captured by [[Susan]]. Later, while [[Dean]] and [[Cas]] Castiel try to locate Dick to kill him, [[Sam]] finds Kevin and frees him. Kevin tells Sam about the [[Leviathan]] plan to kill all the skinny people in the world through poisoned dairy creamer and convinces him to blow up the lab rather than escape. The two head to the lab in time to witness Dean kill Dick with the help of Castiel before both disappear. Kevin warns Sam that more Leviathans will be coming, but [[Crowley]] appears and tells them that he has a small army of demons outside to deal with that now that the Leviathans are disorganized with Dick's death. Crowley then proceeds to kidnap Kevin for his own purposes.

After [[Dean]] returns from [[Purgatory]], he checks [[Sam]]'s abandoned phones and find Kevin's messages and he and Sam track Kevin down, his last message to Sam having indicated he traveled to Michigan where his girlfriend [[Channing]] goes to college. While she hasn't seen him, they find he used the computer at the college, and track him back to Iowa.

When they find Kevin he sprays them with [[borax ]] in case they are [[leviathanLeviathan]]. When he tells them he may have a way to banish all [[demon]]s, [[Dean]] is surprised when [[Sam]] is not immediately on board with the plan. Sam later apologizes to Kevin for abandoning him.

[[Crowley]] and a [[possessed]] [[Channing]] show up and Crowley offers to trade Channing for Kevin, proving that she is still alive by letting Channing talk. Kevin pretends to agree, but lures the demons into the backroom where he drops holy water on them, allowing him, Sam and Dean to escape. In revenge, as the group leaves in the [[Impala]], Crowley kills Channing while a horrified Kevin watches.

Despite [[Dean]]'s protestations, Kevin insists on checking up on his [[Linda Tran|mother]], who he hasn't seen in a year. At the time, Linda is visiting with her friend Eunice sadly discussing the disappearance of Kevin who Eunice insists Linda keep out hope for. With the Winchesters, he finds her house surrounded by demons. After killing two of them, Sam and Dean find that Eunice is possessed as well and kill her in front of a shocked Linda. They then offer to find a safe house for Linda to hide out in, but she insists on accompanying them in the search for the [[Word of God]].

After the auction, the [[angel]] [[Samandriel]] tries to convince Linda to let the angels guard Kevin, but she refuses as the last time angels tried, they were killed and Kevin got kidnapped. She is then possessed by [[Crowley]] after Beau burns off her tattoo.

Possessing her body, Crowley pretends to seal her deal and then teams up with [[Beau]] to kill [[Plutus]] and his guards and take the tablet. In the fight that follows, [[Dean]] nearly kills [[Crowley]] – and Linda – with [[Ruby's knife]], but Crowley flees her body first, leaving her in shock and completely unresponsive. Sam and Dean believe she will recover as she is a strong woman, but Kevin tricks them and flees with her. He leaves a note asking Sam and Dean not to follow them.

Kevin returns to the abandoned bar where he and [[Linda Tran|his mother]] are hiding out and is annoyed when she squirts him with holy water to see if he is possessed despite all of the precautions that they have taken against [[demon]]s. Kevin is shocked to find out that in order to create more "demon bombs," Linda has hired a [[witch]] off of Craigslist, [[Delta Mendota]]. When Delta arrives, Kevin is clearly attracted to her despite his mother's warning and lets Delta use the bathroom. Kevin is shocked to learn that Delta has broken the salt line and betrayed them to [[Crowley]] who shows up and kidnaps Kevin once again, ordering a demon to kill Linda.

Crowley takes Kevin to the warehouse where he is holding the captured future [[prophet]]s and demands Kevin translate the [[Word of God]] for him. Kevin refuses until Crowley cuts off one of his fingers. Kevin reads the titles of the various sections to Crowley until he comes upon a message from the tablet's writer, [[Metatron]], in which he reveals there is a compendium of tablets, which interests Crowley as it means there are more tablets out there on more subjects than [[leviathansLeviathans]] and [[demons]]. Before anymore can happen, [[Castiel]] arrives and confronts Crowley. As Castiel tries to smite him, Crowley flees, but only gets half of the tablet as Castiel smashes it in half. As Dean arrives, Kevin retrieves the second half.

Kevin, disheveled with the beginnings of a beard and mustache, is still trying to translate the half of the [[Word of God]] tablet he has and is apparently running himself into the ground doing so. [[Dean]] and [[Castiel]] approach him for the ingredients to the [[demon]] bomb so they can rescue [[Samandriel]] and he is annoyed as the ingredients are incredibly hard to come by. Castiel still asks for a list and heads off to get them while Dean stays behind with Kevin. Kevin listens to music to try to concentrate and completely ignores Dean, which he uses to his advantage when [[Benny]] calls. Finally, [[Dean]] forces Kevin to pay attention to him and asks where [[Linda Tran|his mother]] is. Kevin reveals that he is now so focused on translating the tablet that he sent his mother away, saying that he can't enjoy the world until it is saved, reminding Dean of how [[Hester]] had told him that he needed to go to the desert to learn the Word away from man. He feels that Garth's houseboat is his "desert."

Kevin, even more disheveled then before, starts a routine of waking up a 5:00 in the morning, eating hot dogs, then spending all day focusing on translating the [[Tablets|tablet]] while taking lots of aspirin. After weeks of no success, he finally cracks it, but collapses with a nosebleed. After waking up, Kevin calls Dean, but apparently passes out again before he can tell him anything.

[[Sam]] and [[Dean]] rush to the houseboat to find Kevin throwing up. Kevin has been so focused on translating that tablet that he has let himself go completely – he now stinks, he wears dirty clothes and he has frequent nosebleeds and headaches and believes he has even had a small stroke. Kevin reveals what he has learned: someone has to undergo three trials and recite an [[Enochian]] spell after each one. He has only been able to decipher the information on the first trial which is someone has to kill a [[Hellhound|hellhound]] and bathe in its blood. While [[Dean]] goes out to get supplies so that Kevin doesn't have to eat hot dogs everyday and [[Sam]] researches to find someone who has made a [[Deals and Pacts|deal]], Kevin cleans up. After he's done, Sam tries to get him to slow down, but Kevin tells him he hates the life he has, the lack of company, the fact that his mom is crying all the time and the place he lives, but knows that until the [[Hell Gates|Gates of Hell]] are closed, he won't be able to rest. Dean returns and Sam reveals that he's found a possible match in Idaho. As they leave, Dean gives Kevin the food he has bought and pills for the headaches and to keep awake, but tells him not to overdo it. Dean also requests Kevin see if he can find anything on hellhounds on the tablet.

Kevin, somewhat hyper, calls [[Dean]] a couple of days later to report that he has found information on [[hellhound]]shellhounds: "the The dire creatures may only be seen by the damned or through an object scorched with [[holy fire]]." Kevin suggests a pair of glasses, but ignores Sam's request to get some sleep and takes some of the stimulants in order to keep translating.

Due to all of the stress he is under, Kevin begins hallucinating that [[Crowley]] is talking to him in his head and mentally torturing him. Freaking out, Kevin calls Sam and Dean and informs the skeptical brothers of this. He also informs them that he has deciphered the second trial: [[Sam]] must travel to [[Hell]] and rescue an innocent soul then release it into [[Heaven]].

While [[Dean]] is waiting for Sam to return from Hell with the [[soul]] of [[Bobby Singer]], he visits with Kevin who is so freaked out he spends most of his time in the houseboat's closet. Dean manages to lure him out with food, but Kevin just takes the food and returns to the closet. He later sneaks out of the houseboat with his half of the [[Tablets|tablet]] and hides it somewhere he won't tell Dean, believing it will take the pressure off of him.

Growing more and more paranoid, Kevin paints protective symbols over the boat, including a [[Devil's trap (symbol)|devil's trap]]. Crowley arrives, blowing out the windows in the boat, and telling him he tortured [[Linda Tran|Kevin's mother]] for his location and after killing her, got it off of her smartphone.

Returning to the boat after completing the second trial, [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] find Kevin and his notes gone.

Kevin is held in an illusion of Garth's houseboat and is tricked into believing that he hasn't been captured and is still at work translating the [[Tablets|demon tablet]]. Two demons pretending to be Sam and Dean bring him [[Crowley]]'s half of the tablet to translate and Kevin works at while having "Sam" and "Dean" get him things, including food. However, when they are too polite, Kevin realizes the truth and under the pretense of sending them for his half of the tablet, sends them into a [[Devil's trap (symbol)|devil's trap]].

The real Sam and Dean get a message prerecorded by Kevin in case something happened to him. He sends them all of his notes and translations on the tablet and they are able to use them to find [[Metatron]].

[[Crowley]] learns of Kevin learning the truth and confronts Kevin who refuses to translate the tablet for him, saying he won't break and Crowley has no idea of the power that the demon tablet could give him. Crowley doesn't care anymore or need Kevin as he has the angel tablet and he starts to strangle Kevin, however, Metatron rescues Kevin before he is killed.

After [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] ostensibly make a [[Deals and Pacts|deal]] with [[Crowley]] to return the [[Tablets|demon tablet]] to him, Kevin digs up the first half of the tablet where he hid it, and puts the tablet halves back together and gives it to Sam and Dean. Sam and Dean give him the key to [[the Bunker]], telling him to wait there.

While Sam is undertaking the final [[Trials|trial]] to close the [[Gates of Hell]] with Crowley, Dean and [[Castiel]] travel to the Bunker seeking more information on the trials Castiel has been undertaking. They give the angel tablet to Kevin, and ask that he translate it to find out what the remaining trials may be. When Kevin protests, saying he thought he was done after translating the demon tablet, Castiel gets angry and tells him "You are a prophet of the Lord, always and forever... until the day you cease to exist, and then another prophet takes your place."

Dean calls Kevin and Kevin reveals that while he has found trials on the angel tablet, they don't seem to be the ones that Castiel is doing. When [[Naomi]] shows up and claims that [[Metatron]] is really working a spell to expel all angels from Heaven, Kevin listens over the phone but is unable to confirm her claims. Kevin later prepares to leave the Bunker, but pauses as alarms go off all around and the map table lights up with supernatural activity all over the world as the angels fall.

Panicking, Kevin shoots a crossbow at [[Dean ]] when he returns to [[the Bunker]], but misses. Kevin is panicked since after the alarms went off, the whole Bunker locked down and he couldn't call out, though opening the Bunker from the outside seems to have lifted the lockdown. Kevin is worried when [[Crowley]] is led in as he once tortured Kevin, but Dean calms him down and asks him to look through the [[Tablets|angel tablet]] for the spell [[Metatron]] used to banish all the angels and a way to reverse it.

Dean takes Kevin to a warded motel room in Branson, Missouri so he can get away from everything for a while after he starts to go crazy reading the [[Tablets|angel tablet]].

Kevin has returned to [[the Bunker]] and is recovering from a massive hangover after getting drunk in Branson. Sam and Dean later call him to research what could be causing the mysterious deaths in Enid, Oklahoma and to find a way to communicate with a dog. Kevin finds an old Inuit spell that allows [[Dean]] to read [[the Colonel]]'s thoughts though it has the side effect of him taking on dog-like traits himself. Sam calls Kevin and he explains that the person using the spell can take on animal traits as a result, but hopefully when the spell wears off, so do the side-effects though he doesn't know how long it will take to wear off.

Kevin finds a codex linking the [[angel]] script to proto-Elamite cuneiform and is able to translate the tablet and the footnotes into Elamite. He still can't read this, however [[Sam]] finds out that [[Crowley]] can. Crowley agrees to do so in return for being able to speak to [[Abaddon]]. He insists on using some of Kevin's blood to make [[Goblet of Blood|the call]] with which to communicate. Crowley tells them the tablet says the spell [[Metatron]] used to expel the angels from [[Heaven]] is irreversible.

Kevin is still working on the angel tablet. When Dean finds out that Ezekiel is lying about who he really is, he decides he must get Sam to expel him. He asks Kevin for a spell that will help him speak to a person, while repressing the angel possessing them, although without revealing the real reason why. Kevin finds a [[blood Angel Suppressing Sigil|spell]] using the [[angel tablet]] and a [[Men of Letters]] book, and helps Dean set up the sigil that activates the spell in the store-room. Dean gets Sam into the room, and casts the spell. He tells Sam about the possession and that he must eject the angel. However [[Gadreel]] was aware of Dean's plan and altered the sigil. Knowing that Dean plans to get rid of him, he punches Dean, briefly knocking him out. He then finds Kevin in the main bunker room and despite Dean's intervention, he kills Kevin and leaves with the angel tablet.

Kevin is given a [[hunter's funeral pyre]] by [[Dean]]. It is also revealed by [[Metatron]] that Kevin was the last of the [[prophets]], as he has made sure that no other ones will be activated.

Kevin, now stuck in [[the Veil]] as a [[ghost]] due to [[Heaven]] being closed finally manages to manifest himself to speak to Sam and Dean. Kevin asks them to rescue [[Linda Tran|his mother]], having found out from another ghost named [[Candy]] that she was seen alive a week before by her in Witchita, Kansas. Sam and Dean agree to perform the rescue and Kevin disappears.

After rescuing Linda, Sam and Dean return to the [[the Bunker]] where they call out to Kevin who appears. Kevin is relieved to hear that they succeeded in the rescue and has a tearful reunion with his mother. Linda finds the ring she believes Kevin is attached to and decides to take him with her despite the risks of having a ghost around. Kevin likewise refuses to let his mother out of his sight now that he has her back. Kevin tells Sam he doesn't blame him for his death, knowing it was really [[Gadreel]] and asks him to kill Gadreel for him to make up for it. Kevin also asks Sam and Dean to put aside their differences, aware of their problems with each other as he was there all along even though he wasn't visible. Sam and Dean agree and Kevin and Linda leave the Bunker. After they leave however, Sam just walks away without a second thought to Kevin's final wish.
