Summary
Sam starts having seemingly random premonitions of an invisible killer murdering members of the Miller family. When the brothers investigate, they discover that the killer is son Max, who was abused as child by his father and uncle and is now seeking revenge on them using his newfound telekinetic abilities.
After a third vision, this time of Max killing his stepmother for not doing anything to stop the beatings, Sam goes to the Miller home to stop the premonition from happening. Though Dean insists on bringing a gun, Sam tries diplomacy first by trying to talk Max out of the murder, and in the course of the conversation Max discloses that just like Sam, his mother died pinned to the ceiling in a nursery fire, and six months ago he discovered he had psychic abilities.
Sam is stunned but unable to change Max's mind and ends up trapped in a closet while Max leaves to deal with Dean and his stepmother. Inside the closet, Sam has a vision of Max shooting Dean in the head, and in seeing this horrifying image, a new psychic power is revealed as Sam inadvertently moves the cupboard blocking the closet door. Sam is able to save Dean, but not before Max turns the gun on himself.

Quotes
Sam: Don’t look at me like that.
Dean: I’m not lookin’ at you like anything. Though I gotta say, you look like crap.

Sam: [laughing bitterly] Our dark spots are pretty dark.
Dean: [attempting a comeback] You’re....dark.
Pad of Definitions
References
Dean: Good afternoon. I’m Father Simmons, this is Father Frehley.
- More of Dean's classic rock aliases, this time in reference to Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley of KISS.
Dean: So, he’s psychic? He’s a spoon-bender?
- and
Dean: [holding up a spoon to Sam] Bend this.
- Spoon-bending was the signature feat of famous self-described "psychic" Uri Gellar. Gellar claimed one of his first telekinetic acts was accidently breaking a spoon during a meal when he was 4, and several televised recordings of his performances showed him bending spoons, among other tricks.
Others...
- When Sam is calling in the license plate he saw in his nightmare, he identifies himself as "Detective McCreedy." This is possibly a reference to one of the characters in the infamous B-horror movie Hobgoblins, a low-budget rip-off of Gremlins best known for being brutally mocked on the television show Mystery Science Threater 3000.
