Synopsis
After being reunited with Michael in the alternate reality, Lucifer is being held captive by the archangel. Michael uses Lucifer’s memories to take a look at the world he came from, Earth, and Lucifer is describing the path God took and how he became bored of what he created. Michael favours Lucifer’s world to the alternate reality and claims he is going to travel there and “lend a hand”. Michael taunts Lucifer, claiming he has seen his fears of being locked up, and tortures him with the cage he’s being kept in by stabbing him in the chest. Lucifer is left alone in the cage.
In the bunker, Sam is looking for to no avail. He tells Dean that there is an APB out amongst hunters for the Nephilim and Dean assures him that Jack will be found, arguing that there will be a sign. Castiel argues that perhaps the lack of evidence of Jack is the evidence itself; Jack has possibly been taken by Asmodeus or the angels and they have hidden him. Castiel informs the Winchesters that he is going to meet with an angel confidant who will tell him if the angels have Jack or not. With Cas out looking for Jack, Sam and Dean don’t want to sit idle. Dean proposes a case: three apparent witches found dead; however, they are not hunter killings.
Meanwhile, Asmodeus tries to sense Jack but fails. A demon approaches to tell him the Winchesters don’t have Jack either and it’s now a race to find him first.
In the alternate reality, Michael tells Lucifer he is pathetic in his world compared to Earth. Lucifer claims that he never tried to play God on Earth and that interdimensional travel is the reason he is weak. Michael taunts that he’ll be ‘trading up’ when he goes to Earth, whereas Lucifer will remain alone in the other dimension. However, as Lucifer points out, Michael needs the rift to do so but it’s no longer open. Michael claims he has a plan and that all of his best brains are working on it; with this he opens the door revealing Kevin Tran. Kevin explains that to recreate the rift, it needs the grace of an archangel. Michael knew he could take this from Lucifer. He does take most of Lucifer’s grace for the spell but leaves him with a little.
Whilst Sam and Dean are on the hunt for a witch killer, the security feed shows Arthur Ketch. Sam argues that isn’t possible as they both saw his dead body. A witch called Daniella approaches the Winchesters and appeals to them for help. She knows witches are being killed and thinks she’ll be next. Meanwhile, Lucifer tries to dissuade Kevin from opening the rift. Kevin does it anyway, and the rift opens. Lucifer fights free from the guards and runs into the rift, being the only one to make it through, albeit without powers.
In hell, Asmodeus is torturing a human, motel clerk for information on Jack and the Winchesters but the clerk doesn’t know anything. They kill him and Asmodeus senses Lucifer has returned to Earth. All the while, Daniella takes the Winchesters to a safe house and tells them she was tortured by the witch killer but escaped, showing them the cuts on her chest. Daniella says the attacker asked for Rowena. Sam and Dean show her the picture they think is Ketch and ask her if this is her attacker, and she confirms that it is. Dean suggests they use her as bait to lure him in. Ketch takes the bait and is tranquilised by Dean. The Winchesters begin to torture Ketch who claims that he has been mistaken for his brother and he is actually Alexander Ketch who ran from the MoL and has lived in hiding as a mercenary/hunter. Dean doesn’t believe this.
Castiel meets with his informant who tells him that they would put Jack to work creating new angels. Cas is trapped by two more angels and realises his confidant is tricking him. They fight, Cas is captured, when Lucifer appears. He threatens the angels and they flee, not knowing that Lucifer doesn’t have the power he claims. Lucifer forces Cas to talk to him, warning him about Michael’s plans and claims that himself, Cas and Jack need to stop it. Cas wants to consult the Winchesters, but Lucifer thinks they’ll waste time. Lucifer discovers that the Winchesters have lost Jack.
Dean gets a call from the motel saying that their clerk went missing after a man matching Asmodeus’ description was asking questions. He then receives a call from Cas trying to tell him about Lucifer, but he is caught. Asmodeus turns up at the bar where Cas and Lucifer are, knowing that Lucifer is weak. He takes them both back to hell just before Sam and Dean arrive, who had been tracking Cas’ phone. Sam and Dean enter the empty bar, only to be attacked by demons. It seems they are going to lose, when Ketch shows up and helps them. Despite this, Dean threatens him with a gun because he knows that he is Arthur, not Alexander. Ketch reveals himself to be Arthur but says the story he gave was true, that he was in hiding from the MoL. He tells them that in return for letting Rowena escape, she gave him the spell for ‘immortality’ but it needs renewing which is why he was hunting her down. He tries to argue that he was a good guy, but Dean doesn’t believe him, so he runs from the bar although not before being shot by Dean.
Dean has a phone call with Asmodeus, believing it to be Cas. Asmodeus is keeping Lucifer and Cas in hell as potential leverage over both Jack and the Winchesters. Ketch is revealed as Asmodeus’ ‘inside man’ in the hunter network.

Quotes
Michael: Hitched a ride on your temporal lobe. Saw your world. That paradise you left behind? Believe I'll take up residence, lend my guiding hand.
Michael: Look at you. You claim to be a god in your world. Here, you're pathetic.
Lucifer: Hey, you try interdimensional travel sometime, pal. Definitely no frills. And just to be clear, I never claimed to be God. Or a god, okay? Where I come from, God is a paradox. He's everywhere, in your mind. In reality, He's nowhere. He left. I, on the other hand, am the real deal. I am everything humanity thinks I am and worse. That's who you're dealing with, pal. But, hey, congratulations to you for being king of the hill of this dead rock.Kevin: I don't have a choice. I'm a prophet, so I serve God, but there's no God to serve, so I serve the ranking deity, which is Michael, because I don't have a choice because I'm a prophet.
Lucifer: Idiot. Can't you see Michael is a monster? Pure evil?
Kevin: Okay, I'm confused. Aren't you Satan? Which would make you the evil monster? And besides, Michael's taking me to paradise world so I can meet hot women.
Ketch: Is that a trick question? Uhh! Oh!
Dean: Whoo!
Lucifer: Well, last time we were together, you stabbed me.
Lucifer: Cut me a little bit of slack. Please? That unhinged thing and that meth head Kevin Tran are about to bust through that door. God isn't here! It's just us. We're all we got, in case you hadn't noticed.
Castiel: Well, I-I-I have to talk to Sam and Dean.
Ketch: Actually, everything I told you is true. Well, except for the, uh, twin brother thing. I am separated from the British Men of Letters, lying low because they will kill me for desertion. I make a rather good living as a sort of soldier of fortune, deep underground, for a certain sort of clientele who appreciate my skill set. And I do use the name 'Alexander'.
Ketch: You really needn't worry.
