Synopsis
Lucifer has been hopping from vessel to vessel trying to find one that can contain him, focusing on people in positions of power including billionaire businessman Wallace Parker and the archbishop of St. Louis.
After learning of the mysterious death of billionaire Wallace Parker, Sam and Dean arrive to the morgue, only to be surprised by the presence of Castiel and Crowley, who reveal to them that Parker had been a vessel for Lucifer. Telling them Lucifer is not just hopping from one random vessel to the next and is specifically going for people with influence, making him even more dangerous. Back at the Bunker, Sam is researching who Lucifer may have jumped into after Parker, when he notices the archbishop of St. Louis who is visibly different in recent photographs as well as having learned that he has cancelled all public appearance. With their first lead, the Winchesters make their way to the archdioceses of St. Louis. With no one answering the phones or door, Sam and Dean enter to find the building ran sacked, Dean finds a still living priest on the floor, who tells him how he witnessed crucifixes being turned upside down in the archbishop's presence. Believing him to be possessed by a demon, the staff attempted an exorcism, which only lead Lucifer slaughtering everyone in the building. Sam and Dean continue their search of the building, finding more bodies strewn, until they find the archbishop, dead, having been burned out by Lucifer's possession.
As President Jefferson Rooney sits on his bed, hands clasped in prayer. Unbeknownst, he has struck a deal with Lucifer to become his new vessel. Upon consenting, President Rooney is bathed in a white light as Lucifer gains possession of his body. With Lucifer now in control, he begins conversing with President Rooney in his mind, telling him that as high profile as he is, he is going to need extra help making people believe he is actually the president. President Rooney obliges, and gives Lucifer the information he needs. In the midst of their conversation, a Secret Service agent overhears what appears to be President Rooney speaking to himself. When Lucifer sees him, he quickly kills the agent. In the aftermath of the death, President Rooney's aide, Kelly Kline has Lucifer say a prayer, much to Lucifer's chagrin, he takes hold of a Bible and says a few words.
In the Bunker, Castiel is going over the photos from the archdioceses, remarking on the brutality of the murders, as Sam continues researching where Lucifer could have gone next. With Den telling him sarcastically, to check who won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The next morning, as Lucifer is sitting in on one of the president's daily briefings, he casually suggests they just nuke their enemies.

Confused, as to why Crowley referred to Rowena as "mother," Crowley causes the man's head to explode, covering Rowena in his blood and brains.

He tells Sam and Dean that there has been a massive surge of celestial energy, indicating a Nephilim has come into being. Due to the power involved in the surge, it could not have been a regular angel, only Lucifer.
As Sam, Dean and Castiel hit the road, Sam tasks Crowley with locating any girlfriends, mistresses or favorite hookers the president may have.

Dean still not trusting him, Mr. Ketch has Castiel assure them that he is not lying and shows them a number of weapons that mixed technology and magic, including a hyperbolic pulse generator, which is used for exorcising demons. When Sam asks if it could be used on an angel, intrigued, Mr. Ketch questions what they have gotten themselves into. Dean, still not fully trusting him, tells Mr. Ketch if he wants their trust, he'll have to trust them first and freely gives them the pulse generator.
As the group formulates a plan, they first task Crowley into abducting Kelly. Crowley is able to teleport Kelly away to the motel and they try to explain to her that the president is Lucifer, and that she is pregnant with his child. Finding this news hard to believe, Castiel has her place her hand on a Bible, which soon bursts into flames, supporting their unbelievable story.
