Sam and Dean are in the liquor store when they see the Impala being stolen. They quiz the woman at the post office, who directs them to the diner where Stacy's mother Caitlin works. At the diner, the cook tells the boys about a house on Route 36 where the local kids go to party.
The kids at the party house go through the items they found in the Impala. From an old cigar box, the ghost of [[John Wayne Gacy]] emerges and terrorizes a a teen boy named Ethan, attacking him in the bathroom, which sends Ethan quickly running out the house. When a girl, Bea, chases after Ethan, she alerts Sam and Dean as to what happened. When Sam and Dean go inside the house, Sam quickly notices Gacy's cigar box and gets to work trying to burn it. Just as Gacy manifests before Dean, Sam is able to set the box aflame as [[Eliot]], Max, and Stacy rush into the house to witness Gacy's spirit burn away. Sam and Dean explain to the kids that monsters and ghosts are real, but that they cannot tell anyone.
At the Bunker, Sam has identified the [[Baozhu]] -- a pearl with the power to grant wishes by giving a person their heart's desire -- among the items confiscated from the pawn shop.
Meanwhile, [[Zachariah]] and Castiel from 2003 appear in the diner and interrogate the teenagers and Caitlin to find out who is meddling with time. Sam and Dean arrive, allowing the townspeople to escape. Castiel doesn't recognize Sam and Dean, and attacks them. Sam manages to kill Zachariah and uses the banishing sigil to send Castiel away.
Back at the Bunker, Dean explains to John the consequences of his presence, including that Mary would never have been brought back from the dead. John agrees he needs to return to the past. He also tells Dean that he never meant for his sons to have to live the hunter life, as it was supposed to end between the yellow-eyed demon and him. He wanted Dean to have a normal life and have a family of his own, but Dean asserts that he has a family. After sharing their first meal as a family, they gather around for one last tearful goodbye. As John holds Mary's hand, Sam smashes the Baozhu, sending John back to 2003.As a result, everything goes back to normal. The wanted poster of Dean gets replaced by a poster advertising a marathon. Stacy and Max are walking down the street holding hands while Eliot is excited knowing that the Winchesters hunt monsters. Soon after, Castiel arrives at the Bunker, notices the trio's wounds, and asks what happened to them. Dean replies "Well, there's a story."
As John wakes up in the Impala back in 2003, he gets a call from Dean. He tells Dean that he had "one hell of a dream" and that he will see Dean soon.
'''John:''' And you've done this whole time-travel thing before?<br>
'''Dean:''' A few times. Actually, uh, our grandfather, your dad -- he's the one that helped us find this place. I think he'd be real happy to know you're finally here.
:''Sam and Dean have time traveled in [[4.03 In the Beginning]], [[5.13 The Song Remains the Same]], [[6.18 Frontierland]], [[7.12 Time After Time]], and [[11.14 The Vessel]]. In [[8.12 As Time Goes By]], [[Henry Winchester]] had fled through time from 1958 to escape the grasp of the [[Knight of Hell]], [[Abaddon]], who later killed him in 2013. Henry was a member of the [[Men of Letters]], who tells Dean he intended to induct John into the order when he was old enough. Henry helps gave the boys find the [[Key to The Box]] which contains the key and they locate the Bunkerwith the help of [[Larry Ganem]].''
