As Sam and Dean enter a deserted diner, while Jack sits outside mourning Castiel. When Jack goes to enter the diner, the plants he passes shrivel up and die. Inside Dean has himself a beer, while Jack questions what they are going to do, only for Sam to tell him there is no one to save. They attempted to rewrite Chuck's ending, and the world paid the price.

[[Sam]] and [[Jack]] wander the empty streets of Hastings, Minnesota, as [[Dean]] arrives in the [[Impala]]. Sam tells Dean he couldn't save anybody, and as he starts asking Dean about [[Billie]], Dean stops him and reveals that [[Chuck]] was behind everyone disappearing. When Jack asks where [[Castiel]] is, Dean tells them Castiel died saving him by summoning [[the Empty]] to take him and Billie. As Dean apologizes to a shocked Jack, Sam attempts to try and reach other people on his cell phone.
Later that night, Sam and Dean wait in front of the Impala, when Chuck appears before them. The Winchesters admit to Chuck that He won, and they are willing to give Him His ending: Sam and Dean will kill each other so long as Chuck brings everyone -- the people, the birds, Castiel -- all back. Chuck appreciates that they've given up, but finds Sam, Dean, and Jack being alone in the world to be much more entertaining to for Him and turns down their offer, then begins gloating that their "eternal shame, suffering, and loneliness" is all because they refused to take a knee.
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.
On the shoreline of a lake, Sam prepares the ingredients for the spell in three bronze bowls. Sam, Dean, Jack, and Michael stand in a circle around them as Sam throws a match to the ingredients and three spires of light shoot into the sky. A confused Dean questions what happened, when Chuck appears before them and uses His power to toss Sam, Dean, and Jack aside. Chuck thanks Michael for warning Him about the plan, but can't forgive his son for siding with the Winchesters and violently smites Michael, causing him to explode in a violent burst of energy. As Sam and Dean rise to their feet, Chuck admits that their eternal suffering all alone in the world sounded good on paper, but makes for boring entertainment and tells them He's "cancelling" their show. Sam, accepting his fate, walks up to Chuck and punches Him in the face, which has no effect. Chuck goes on to use His power to cause immense pain in Sam and Dean and as He is about to snap His fingers and end them, Chuck changes His mind and decides to get His hands "dirty." As He begins to brutally pummel Sam and Dean, they continue to stand back up over and over again. Chuck continues to beat down the Winchesters, breaking Sam's arm and Dean's leg. But the brothers refuse to quit, and continue standing up, much to Chuck's frustration. Using each other for support, they stand each other up, beaten and bloody, then begin laughing. When Chuck questions why they are smiling, Sam tells Chuck that He has lost, as Chuck notices Jack standing behind Him. Chuck turns His attention to His grandson, and as He attempts to smite Jack with a snap of His fingers, nothing happens. Panicking, and with fear in His eyes, Chuck continues snapping His fingers to no avail, as Jack approaches Him. Laying his hands on Chuck's head, Jack absorbs Chuck's power into himself, rendering Chuck human. With God's power now coursing through Him, Jack snaps His fingers and heals Sam and Dean of their wounds.
The newly human Chuck questions what they have done, and as Dean tells him that they "won." When Chuck asks if this is how it ends for him, Sam throws down his book. But as Chuck looks through the pages, he finds that they are all blank, due to Death being the only one that can read the book. Because of this, Dean explains that they had to come up with a plan B. After realizing that Michael didn't like the fact that Chuck chose to bring Lucifer back over him, Sam and Dean figured that Michael would betray them and fed Michael a fake story about the spell. Dean continues telling Chuck that Jack wasn't just being turned into a bomb, but rather a power vacuum, and has been sucking up bits of power since coming back. When Michael and Lucifer had their showdown in the Bunker, Jack was able to absorb all the power they used, which charged him back up. And after Chuck killed Michael and beat down Sam and Dean, Jack absorbed the energy Chuck released, making Jack unstoppable.
After hearing this, Chuck begins to laugh, admitting for the first time ever he doesn't know what will happen, telling Sam and Dean that is why they are his favorites. He relishes the fact that he will die at the hands of Sam Winchester and the "ultimate killer" Dean Winchester. Dean, however, tells Chuck that's not who he is, and not how his story ends. Sam and Dean explain that Chuck will live the rest of his life as a human, where he will grow old, get sick and die unremembered by anyone. As Sam, Dean, and Jack walk to the Impala, Chuck begins desperately crawling to them, pleading for them to wait as they drive off.
