|actor= [[Ty Olsson]]

Later, Benny calls Dean, but he pretends it’s a wrong number and hangs up, but later calls him back. Benny is watching a funeral and Dean suggests that for now they stay away from each other until they adjust, but tells Benny he can call him if he gets into trouble. Benny says that he agrees with [[Dean]] that [[Purgatory]] is "pure" and says he wishes he had appreciated it more, like Dean did.

===[[8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy?]]===

'''Flashback:''' ''[[Dean]] interrogates a monster using [[Ruby's knife]] to threaten him for information on [[Castiel]] while Benny watches. Finally the monster gives up Castiel's location and Dean kills him.''

''Dean and Benny travel to the specified location and find a dishevelled and unshaven [[Castiel]] who Benny accuses of being a coward and abandoning Dean. Castiel admits to running, but explains it was to keep Dean safe as many powerful monsters including the [[leviathans]] are after him. Dean insists on Castiel coming with them as Benny knows a way out, but Benny warns that he doesn't know if it will work for an [[angel]]. Castiel reluctantly agrees and joins Dean and Benny in their quest to escape [[Purgatory]].''

===[[8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin]]===

'''Flashback:''' ''Benny leads [[Dean]] and [[Castiel]] to the portal out of [[Purgatory]], dismissing their concerns that he was lied to about its location, stating that he lies, not the other way around. He turns out to be right as the portal opens after sensing Dean's presence. Benny turns to [[Dean]], telling him he is putting a lot of trust in him. Dean tells Benny he earned it and casts a spell that absorbs Benny's [[soul]] into his arm so that Dean can carry it with him when he travels through the portal.''

After [[Sam]] and Martin go after Benny, [[Dean]] calls him and Benny reveals that he has agreed to join Desmond to get him to tell him where he is and only agrees to tell Dean where that is if Dean lets Benny join him. Armed with machetes and dead man's blood, Dean and Benny search a warehouse for Desmond and while separated, [[Desmond]] attacks Dean. Before Desmond can drain Dean, Benny decapitates him from behind. Benny realizes that his life in the town is over which Dean confirms, warning him that when word gets out, more hunters will be after him and that Benny has to hide. After looking through a window at [[Elizabeth]] one last time, Benny leaves.

While on the road, Benny gets a call from a very mentally unstable Martin, on Elizabeth's phone, who threatens Elizabeth's life to get Benny to return. Benny returns to the restaurant to find Elizabeth tied up and Martin holding a knife to her throat. Martin threatens Elizabeth's life and cuts her to draw out Benny's bloodlust, but Benny manages to bring it under control. In response Martin reveals who Benny really is to Elizabeth and demands Benny's life for hers. Knowing that trying to stop Martin would put Elizabeth's life at risk, Benny puts his head in position to be decapitated against Elizabeth's pleas.

Not long later, Benny finds he is down to one last bag of blood and there is no sign of [[Dean]]. Dean calls him and tells him that while he appreciates what Benny did for him and will never forget it, he is done with Benny. Benny, despite being in a bad way, is understanding and the two say their goodbyes, leaving Benny sitting on a bench alone with his deteriorating situation.

===[[8.19 Taxi Driver]]===

Having learned from [[Naomi]] that [[Sam]] is travelling to [[Hell]] through [[Purgatory]] and that his ride, rogue [[reaper]] [[Ajay]] is dead, Dean contacts Benny for help, knowing what he is asking of him is huge. Dean's plan is to kill Benny so that he can return to Purgatory and lead Sam and [[Bobby Singer|Bobby]] out the same way he took Dean with Benny returning with Sam this time. Benny agrees, saying he no longer feels like he fits in on Earth. After saying their goodbyes, Dean decapitates Benny.
