|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. Following the signs in his vision he meets the young mother Monica and her daughter, [[Rose|Rosie]]. Unable to warn her, he returns to Dean and John. John is angry that the boys hadn’t told him before about Sam’s visions. Dean angrily states he would have had better winning the lottery than reaching his father on the phone. John agrees reluctantly with Dean. Interrupting, Sam’s phone rings and [[Meg]], our blonde from the church, demands to speak with John. Informing him that she murdered Jim Murphy and today she is with [[Caleb]]. She wants the [[The Colt]].
In desperation John plays dumb and Meg kills Caleb. Capitulating, John offers her the Colt, but typically, he has a plan. To substitute a fake colt for the real one. In an emotional revelation, he admits again that he needs this job to be over. When Dean returns with the fake colt, he pleads with John to not throw his life away, he’s no good to them dead. John responds by handing the task of killing the demon to the boys, to finish the job he started.
