In Boca Raton, [[Rowena]] has found out that her current fiancé, whom she has been conning for his money, was conning her for her money. When Crowley shows up in the middle of their screaming match, the man assumes he is there for the laundry. Crowley causes the man's head to explode with a snap of his fingers, covering Rowena in his blood and brains, an act which Rowena declares the sweetest thing he has ever done for her. Back at the Forester Estate, Lucifer and Kelly have once again had sex. Kelly remarks that something was different this time, that she feels something has changed. With a smile Lucifer tells her that maybe something has. In the Bunker, Castiel's head is besieged with the sounds of [[angel radio]]. 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. The Secret Service are able to catch up with the Winchesters and Castiel after a local cop sees the Impala and reports it. Sam and Dean attempt to pass themselves off as FBI, but Agent Sanchez tells them he knows who they really are. A fight ensues, and the Secret Service quickly get the upper hand. The Winchesters and Castiel are standing in the middle of the road with the Secret Service agent's guns drawn on them when [[Mr. Ketch]] fortuitously arrives. Casually stepping out of his car, he destroys the Secret Service's SUV with a [[grenade launcher]] and renders the agents unconscious, then orders Castiel to wipe their memories. He introduces himself to the stunned Winchesters as Arthur Ketch of the British [[British Men of Letters]]. Later that night Mr. Ketch explains that he is there to help, telling them when Sam called Mick Davies and hung up, he was dispatched to find them in case they were in trouble. When Dean still does not trust him, Mr. Ketch has Castiel read his mind and assure them that he is not lying. He shows them a number of weapons that mix technology and magic, including a [[hyperbolic pulse generatorHyperbolic 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 tells him if he wants their trust, he'll have to trust them first, and he freely gives them the pulse generator.
As the group formulates a plan, they first task Crowley with abducting Kelly. He 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. When she finds this news hard to believe, Castiel has her place her hand on a Bible, which bursts into flames at her touch. They get Kelly to call Lucifer and ask him to come to the motel.

When Lucifer prays to God while holding [[the Bible]], the cross imprinted on the cover is burned on his right hand which is reminiscent of the scene in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellboy_(2004_film) Hellboy] when [https://hellboy.fandom.com/wiki/Hellboy_(character) Anung Un Rama] holds his adoptive father's prayer beads and the cross burns a scar onto his left hand.
