|Synopsis=
[[Sam]] and [[Dean]] are standing in the middle of Main Street in Hope Springs, Idaho. Dean is holding the [[Dean's Amulet|Samulet]] as they confront [[Chuck]]. Dean demands to know what's going on. Chuck says they need to talk. Dean refuses to go anywhere with Chuck and even questions if Chuck is actually Chuck and not a manifestation. As Dean is talking, Chuck transports them to the war room in the [[bunker]]. As Sam and Dean realize what’s happened, [[Kevin Tran]] steps out from behind Chuck. He tells Sam and Dean that they looked "stressed" and that they should do whatever Chuck asks them to do. Chuck then tells Kevin that he has been in [[the Veil]] long enough and deserves an upgrade. Kevin transforms into a bright white light, ascends upwards, and disappears.
Sam is visibly excited to be talking to Chuck while Dean is more reticent. When Chuck calls him on it Dean becomes emotional, asking where Chuck has been and why He did nothing while all sorts of terrible things happened throughout history. Chuck explains that He was hands-on for a very long time, thinking that if He continued to offer support things would get better. But they didn’t, so He stepped away to let His baby find its way. When Dean counters that things haven’t gotten any better Chuck disagrees, saying that from where He sits, they have. Dean accuses Him of leaving them, and now trying to justify it. Chuck tells him not to confuse Chuck with his father.
As the continue talking, Sam and Dean question Chuck about [[Amara]], asking if He knows where she is and that she has [[Lucifer]]. When they mention that last time He defeated [[Amara]] He needed Lucifer’s help, Chuck becomes angry. He says He does not need or trust Lucifer. Nor does He need Lucifer's help in defeating Amara, especially since he may have formed an alliance with her by now. He leaves them to find the "guest room".
Amara is torturing Lucifer. He continues to taunt her by comparing her to Chuck, pointing out the ways she doesn’t compare and reminding her that while she may beat Him, she will never be Him. Amara complains that Chuck stuffed her in a hole for eons, with Lucifer’s help. Frustrated by his taunting, she gestures angrily at him and he passes out. After Lucifer loses consciousness, Amara approaches his inert body. Curious, she hovers her hand over his chest.
As Dean is sitting at the table in the war room using his laptop to look for Amara, she appears to him. She tells him that she knows her brother has surfaced and to let her know if He reaches out to Dean. She also says that Lucifer is not doing well, and neither is his vessel, [[Castiel]]. She shows Dean a vision of Castiel's battered form.
The fog is rolling through Lewis, Oklahoma. People are running down the street, clutching at their throats. An older man with white hair comes out of his home to see what is happening.
In the war room Dean tells Sam about Amara appearing to him. Chuck comes in the room and Sam tells them about the fog appearing in Lewis and that everyone in the town died, except for one man. [[Metatron]] is sitting in a bar when he sees a news story about the fog in Lewis. The story is accompanied by a picture of Sam and Dean standing in the street in Hope Springs with Chuck. He calls Dean and tells him he must with them in person to give them some information they need to know.
Before meeting with Metatron, Sam and Dean go to see the man who survived the fog Lewis. The man recounts the night and says that when he went outside he felt like his head would explode, not with pain but with knowledge. Sam and Dean surmise that being touched by Amara's power is akin to being touched by the power of God and therefore the man, [[Donatello Redfield]], must be a [[prophet]]. While Sam confers with Donatello, Amara appears to Dean again and says that he must meet with her in person, alone. As they drive back to the bunker, Sam and Dean brief Donatello on being a prophet, the looming battle between God and Amara, and and how they hope he can help them find Amara.
Sam and Dean meet Metatron at the bar. He tells them that Chuck will not take Amara down, that He plans to sacrifice Himself, let Amara do whatever she wants with Him. Sam and Dean do not believe him so Metatron shows them the manuscript -- God's autobiography. Metatron says that it's more of a suicide note.
Dean meets with Chuck in a park, watching children play. Dean confronts Him about not dealing with Amara. Chuck says He will offer her a deal: put Him in a cage and leave the world as it is. And if that doesn't work, humans will step up -- Sam, Dean, and others who are chosen. He tells Dean that He saved him so many years ago because he is the firewall between light and darkness. Dean balks and tells Chuck that He is the one that has to take Amara out.
Metatron has been pestering Dean to let him into the bunker. They concede and Metatron tells them that his past relationship with Chuck as the Scribe of God gives him valuable insight he can use to help save Chuck. Sam and Dean tell Metatron their plan to free Lucifer from Amara and then convince Chuck to use Lucifer to fight Amara.
To create a diversion, Dean reaches out to Amara, meeting with her in a forest. She asks him to give up his humanity and join her for eternity. As they are talking Amara reaches out to touch Dean's face and realizes that she can't find his thoughts, that he has talked to God and that he is betraying her.
While Dean is with Amara, Sam, Metatron, and Donatello go to the building where Lucifer is being held. Metatron performs a spell to free him from his shackles. They tell Lucifer their plan and he agrees to work with Chuck to defeat Amara. As Lucifer is freed, Donatello feels Amara coming. Lucifer can't 'zap' them away from the tower in his weakened state so Sam grabs him and tells everyone to run. Metatron tells Sam to go, he will stay behind. He cuts his hand and draws a sigil on a piece of wood. As Amara appears he places his hand onto the sigil. Bolts of bright white light envelop Amara, but when they stop, she is still standing there. In retaliation, Amara sends out black smoke to surround Metatron. He melts into it and disappears.
As Sam is speeding away in the Impala with Lucifer and Donatello, Amara appears in the middle of the road. Sam tries to pull away but the tires just squeal and spin. Amara declares, "You really aren't worth sparing. None of you." and spreads her arms out to the sides. Suddenly the Impala is dropped into a room in the basement of the bunker. They walk upstairs and Chuck meets them, six-pack in hand, stating that "Occasionally, I do answer a prayer." Chuck heals Lucifer.
Sam and Dean see Donatello off in a cab and Dean tells Sam that Amara wants him with her forever.

'''Chuck:''' you You have to understand this about the Darkness -- she's relentless, a force beyond human comprehension. It's the only reason I came off the sidelines.<br>
'''Sam:''' Must have been great being her brother, huh?<br>
'''Chuck:''' It was the worst. Always telling me what to do, making me do what she wanted. I mean, you guys know how that works.

'''Lucifer:''' Did you grab this from the steno pool?
:''A "steno pool" is a group of office workers who would take dictation and transcribe notes. In [[8.21 The Great Escapist]], [[Metatron]] reveals to [[Castiel]] that he worked in the secretarial pool before being chosen by God to take down the Word.''

{{TriviaQuote |Text=
Despite this episode occurring right after [[11.20 Don't Call Me Shurley]], the news article [[Sam]] pulls up on the new [[rabid]] infection mentions that the Hope Springs infection was weeks earlier. This might have been to show passage of time between [[Chuck]] coming to [[the Bunker]], and the rescue operation for [[Lucifer]]/[[Castiel]]. However, the words of the newscaster just before [[Metatron]] pauses the video indicates that it has indeed only been a matter of days.}}{{TriviaQuote |Text=The news article Sam reads about the new rabid infection confirms that Chuck resurrected everyone killed in the last episode. The article mentions that there were no casualties in Hope Springs despite what was originally expected.}}{{TriviaQuote |Text=With the activation of [[Donatello Redfield]] as a [[prophet]], the prophet line is once again active, having been deactivated by [[Metatron]] off-screen in [[9.10 Road Trip]] to prevent any future prophets from taking [[Kevin Tran]]'s place.}}{{TriviaQuote |Text=The new prophet Donatello Redfield is not one of the future prophets identified and kidnapped by [[Crowley]] in [[8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin]]. Sam speculates that Crowley could've missed a couple though [[Samandriel]] claimed that he listed all of the prophets in the current generation when tortured by Crowley.
