Synopsis
Blue Earth, Minnesota – A priest is reading the Bible at his Alter. A young, blonde woman enters seeking solace. The priest encourages her to speak as “Salvation is there for all who seek it” but, when he sees her black eyes, the priest retreats in horror to an underground office. It is fitted out with the tools of a Hunter, with research and runes spanning the walls. Our young blonde follows him kicking in the barred doors. He demands, “What do you want?” and she demands the Winchesters who he refuses to betray. She slits his throat.
Back in Manning, Colorado, John is sharing his research of the last 20 years with Sam and Dean. He explains the trail he has followed and the telltale signs. Sam’s guilt at being the cause of the death of both Mary and Jess turns into anger and pain. But neither John nor Dean allow him to wallow. John sees the signs starting again and is intent on saving another family from the pain and loss suffered by the Winchesters. The 3 hunters head out to Salvation, Iowa.
On the road, John receives the news that Pastor Jim Murphy has been murdered. It is believed to be demons. John feels the pressure to hurry, to find the next family on the demons list. In despair, John mourns his friend and states “This ends…now…I’m ending it. I don’t care what it takes”.
Overcome by the size of their task, they split up to cover more territory. As Sam leaves the medical centre where he has been reviewing birth records, he has a vision of the demons next target.
