Synopsis
Both the Winchesters, and Castiel and Crowley are trying to locate Lucifer. He’s been hopping from vessel to vessel trying to find one that can contain him and also people in positions of power. these include billionaire businessman Wallace Parker and an archbishop of St. Louis. Finally he finds himself in the vessel of the President of the USA (POTUS) Jefferson Rooney, while he is on a speaking tour in Indiana.
Lucifer "gets briefed" by Rooney to help him best impersonate the President. he also discovers that the President is having an affair with one of his interns, Kelly Kline. Lucifer continues the relationship, having sex with a human for the first time.
The team plot how to get Lucifer's essence out of the vessel and back into the Cage. Crowley says Rowena has agreed to use her magic for the final part. Sam is driven to call Mick Davies of the British Men of Letters, but hangs up without speaking to him.
POTUS is extremely well guarded and neither Crowley or Castiel can infiltrate the guarding so they have to come up with a plan to get access to the vessel and send Lucifer back to the cage. Lucifer becomes aware that the Winchesters are after him, and fabricates a story for the Secret Service that they are cult members intent on assassinating the President.
The Secret Service catch up with the Winchesters, and Castiel and Crowley. Mr. Ketch of the brotosh men of Letters arrives just in time, destroys the Secret Service car with a Grenade Launcher and renders the agents unconscious. Mr Ketch explains that he is there to help, and has a number of weapons imbued with magic. One is the Hyperbolic Pulse Generator, which can be used to expel an angel from its veseel. While unsure if it will work on Lucifer, it is the best weapon available to them.
Through a contact of Crowley's within the Presidential entourage, the Winchesters learn of Lucifer's affair with Kelly. Castiel informas them that angel radio is suddenly full of news - a very powerful angel has conceived a child (known as a nephilim) with a human.
Crowley is able to teleport Kelly away to a motel and they try and explain to her that the President is Lucifer, and that she is pregnant with his child. When her hand is placed on a Bible, it bursts into flames, supporting their unbelievable story. They get Kelly to call the President, and ask him to come to the hotel because she has decided not to keep the baby.
After hte President (lucifer) is securely inside the room Sam, Dean, and Crowley all enter with Rowena is in the other room as well. Sam says a spell while holding out the pulse generator. It glows with white light and Lucifer starts to be expelled from the Preseident. Rowena joins in with an incantation, and finally Lucifer, leaves Rooney's body and disappears through the floor - presumably back to the Cage.
Cas sneaks Kelly out of the next room while the boys trying revive the President. The Secret Service break into the room, and arrest the Winchesters for attempted assassination. They are driven away , heavily chained, in an armored van.
As Cas and Kelly stop at a diner, she explains to Cas that she wants to keep the child. She then manages to slip away.
