Back at [[the Bunker]], Sam finds a passed-out Dean in the library surrounded by bottles. Jack soon enters and tells the brothers that he is feeling something weird -- a presence out in the world besides them. The three hit the road to find this presence, while at a pit stop, as Sam is filling up the tank, Dean finds a dog. Elated to have found another living thing he names it "[[Miracle]]" and places it in the Impala with the intent to bring the dog back to the Bunker, much to Sam's surprise. However, as soon as Dean places Miracle in the backseat, the dog disintegrates to Dean's dismay. He looks up and in the distance and sees a grinning Chuck who gives Dean a salute before disappearing, visibly enraging Dean.
As night falls, the three arrive at a church -- St Michael's. Upon entering they are surprised to find [[Michael]] alive. He reveals that once the rapture started happening, he took refuge, making sure to avoid using any of his powers so as to not alert his father. When asked about [[Adam Milligan|Adam]], Michael informs Sam and Dean that Adam was taken with the rest of humanity, and goes on to tell Sam, Dean, and Jack that after God left, it was his efforts that lead to humanity into believing in an all-knowing and all-loving God. When Dean reminds Michael that he ignored them when they reached out to him, he affirms he has had a change of heart after what Chuck did to the world, and offers to help in any way he can.
At the Bunker, Sam presents Michael with [[Chuck's Death Book]] in hopes that he will be able to open it. When it proves impossible for Michael to do so, Sam and Dean convene in the kitchen and discuss their options, due to their belief that Chuck is preparing for His next move. All of a sudden, Dean's cell begins ringing, and much to his and Sam's shock Castiel's voice is heard on the other end. The Winchesters rush to the Bunker door, but upon opening it Dean finds Lucifer standing there and quickly slams the door shut. Lucifer is however able to gain entry and materializes in the war room. He explains that after God wiped the planet clean, the [[Cosmic Entity]] woke him up and tasked him with finding God's book to use against Him. Knowing that the Winchesters wouldn't trust him, Lucifer produces a token of good faith -- a bound [[reaper]] named [[Betty]] -- whom he proceeds to kill, reminding everyone that with Billie dead, Betty is the first reaper to die and thus becomes the new [[Death]], and therefore is capable of reading God's book. As Dean ungags and tries to help up the resurrected Betty, she headbutts him and leaps to her feet, breaking free of her restraints and materializing a [[Death's Scythe|scythe]] in her hands. As the new Death, Betty asks to see God's book. Sam and Dean take her to the room where they are keeping it, but are denied entry by Betty.
