Synopsis
Donatello is cooking in his kitchen, making cookies and boiling pasta. While he is juggling cookie dough, the door bell rings. Answering the door, asking the man what he wants, Donatello is accosted as the man pushes his way into his home. The man then ties Donatello to his dining room table with ropes. Donatello begs the man, but it soon injected in the neck with a syringe, causing him to scream in pain.
At the Bunker Dean is setting up a game of Mouse Trap, while Jack is in the kitchen making Jiffy Pop and Mary questions if they have enough food when they are interrupted by Dean's frustration at the game. Mary shifts focus to Jack, asking how he is doing. He comments on how every one keeps asking him that and that it's getting annoying. She offers herself if he wants to talk before they leave to join Dean.
Entering the library, Mary hands Dean his cellphone, as he had a missed call. Playing the voicemail, they hear a distressed Donatello asking for help and speaking in another language. Unable to get a hold of Sam, Mary and Dean decide to go to Donatello's house, telling Jack to wait for Sam, and have him call Dean on his spare.
At a diner Castiel is sitting at a table waiting for Sister Jo. As she sits down at the table, he hands her a box with a pair of earrings. He tells her they are lightly cursed, but nothing an angel couldn't handle and tells her he needs her help to contact God. A prospect that elicits a laugh from Jo, but when Castiel reminds her that she was Joshua's right hand and saw how God and Joshua communicated, and that he needs God's help to restore Jack's soul. Jo refuses to help, leading to Castiel to take back the earrings, which causes Jo to reveal that Joshua placed a call to God and he picked up after the Fall and can take Castiel to someone that may be able to help.
Back at the Bunker Sam is talking to Dean on his cell. He thinks that Donatello was speaking in ancient Hebrew and he and Jack are working on interpreting the message. In the Impala Mary and Dean are talking of how everyone is stressed, admitting she wishes was around more and is grateful for every day she spends with Sam and Dean. As Sam is listening to the message, he realizes he knows it is from the Bible, Peter 5:8.
Mary and Dean arrive at Donatello's house, as they enter they hear Donatello calling for help as they go into his dining room, they only find a cell phone replaying his message. Soon after Nick walks out of the kitchen and greets Mary and Dean. Dean handcuffs him, and demands to know where Donatello is while Mary goes into the kitchen and returns with a hypodermic needle she found in the trash. Nick reveals he shot Donatello up with thallium and in a day his organs with begin to shut down. He jesters to the phone, telling Dean there is a live stream of him on it. They look and see that Donatello tied up on the floor in a building. Dean points his gun at Nick and once again demands to know where Donatello is, but is nonplussed by Dean's threats. Mary asks him what he wants and tells her he wants to talk.
Cas and Sister Jo arrive at Orlando's Emporium, and find a man, Methuselah, is seated at a desk. Telling the two he is closed, they tell him they were friends of Joshua and know he saw Joshua try to contact God. Methuselah refuses to help them, leading Castiel to threaten to burn him and his place to the ground. Initially Methuselah dares him to do so, but relents and tells them whatever Joshua used to try and make contact with God is in his store, and they should know it when they see it.
Dean and Mary are walking into the Bunker with Nick. Sam quickly grabs him and slams him against the wall, but is stopped by Dean from going any further. Nick is then taken to the Bunker's dungeon while Sam, Dean and Mary discuss what to do next. Sam suggests hacking the live feed to locate Donatello, but it would take a while. With limited time remaining, they decided to talk with Nick. As Dean goes to talk with Nick, Sam tells Mary he feels responsible for the deaths Nick caused, as he wanted to give Nick a chance. Mary assures him that Nick made his choices on his own and tells Sam he is a good man, and that is why she is so proud of him.
Cas and Jo continue to look for the object, turning the conversation to her demotion. Jo reveals she believed in Heaven's mission, but when she visited Earth she saw how it was no paradise and filled with so much despair. She asked Joshua why God does not help people, only for Joshua to tell her God does not meddle. Castiel tells her that God does meddle, as he resurrected him. But Jo quickly points out Castiel is one angel God choose to help while millions suffer.
In the Bunker's dungeon, Dean starts punching Nick continuing to ask where Donatello is. Nick finally relents and asks to talk with Jack. Dean tells Sam, Mary and Jack what Nick wants, Jack. Mary says, no, buy Jack says, he isn't afraid of him. Dean says, Nick is cracked. Jack reminds them that Donatello helped him, he wants to help him. Jack enters the room and asks where his friend is. Nick tells Jack that Lucifer did love him, but he broke his heart when he betrayed him. Jacks tells him his father was a monster and to answer his question. Nick tells him how he knows he has no soul. Jack replies, yes he does and gets closer to Nick. Nick then headbutts Jack, making Jack bleed from his nose, getting blood on Nick's shirt. As Jack heals himself, Nick begins to apologize as Jack's eyes begin to glow.
Cas and Sister Jo continue to look for the object. She is upset she just stepped on a rat. She says that he is doing this so he doesn't have to tell Sam and Dean the truth, that Jacks soul is gone. Wishing to leave, Jo grabs her handbag, which allows Castiel to see an amulet similar to Dean's amulet that glows in the presence of God. Methuselah tells them that Joshua forged it after his fall. Cas takes and holds it in his hand, and calls on God for help. But receives no answer, which Methuselah tells him it didn't work for Joshua either.
The Impala arrives at the building where Donatello is being held. Sam and Dean threaten Nick in the back handcuffed. Meanwhile, Cas and Jo leave the store. He gives the earrings to her and offers her a ride, but she decides to take a cab. At the Bunker, Mary is going through a box of Nick's things, when Jack sees the syringe and holds it in his hand telling Mary it held angel grace in it.
As Dean enters the facility. Nick begins to antagonize Sam, when Sam gets a call from Mary, prompting him to leave the car, allowing Nick to remove a lock pick from in his arm and begin to pick the handcuff lock. Dean Quickly finds Donatello, and unties him. After getting off the phone with Mary, Sam pulls him out of the car and points his gun at him, asking him why he inject Donatello with grace. Nick tells him that prophets are like CB radios, you can boost the signal and change the frequency, Sam realizes he is trying to make contact with someone and is shocked to learn that Lucifer is awake in the Empty and he knows how to bring him back.
As Nick frees himself, he and Sam fight. When Sam stops himself from strangling Nick, he is struck in the head with a rock. Sam scrambles into the Impala and begins honking the horn to warn Dean. Dean hears it, but is soon attacked by two demons, whom he dispatches. Donatello and Dean leave the building,to find Sam lying bloody and badly hurt by the Impala. Dean calls Mary and tells her that Nick played them and how bad Sam is hurt.
Nick is seen grabbing a man out of a pick-up truck stopped at a stop sign. He throws him to the ground and speeds away. He arrives at a cabin in the woods. He breaks in and looks for objects to use. He finds a knife, cast iron pot and salt. He kneels down in a circle of salt, puts his shirt with Jacks blood in the pot and cuts his hand over the shirt before he lights the shirt on fire and recites a Latin incantation. At the Bunker, Jack suddenly doubles over in pain, telling Mary his blood feels like it's on fire. Jack tells Mary he track Nick down, but needs to use his powers to stop him. She agrees and gives Jack permission.
At the cabin, a black viscous portal opens up as Lucifer, encased in the Empty walks out. As he reaches with his hand to Nick and almost touches him. Jack appears with Mary, sending Lucifer back through the portal and closing it. Causing Nick to scream at Jack in frustration. But soon begins to beg, as Jack breaks and twists Nick's hand before burning him alive, only stopping after Mary's pleas to stop. Jack tells Mary Nick was a monster and he had to kill him, a shocked Mary simply tells him to go help Sam.
At the Impala Dean is kneeling in front of Sam, who is gasping of breath and losing consciousness. Jack appears at the scene with Sam and heals him. Sam gasps and gets up. He asks about Nick and Mary, Jack tells them he dealt with Nick and Mary is fine, telling them everything will be fine.
Exiting the cabin, Mary is met by Jack. He tells her that he healed Sam and wants to explain why he did what he did. Nick was a bad person and he had to be stopped, but she tells him to take her home. He asks, if it was okay, what he did. She replies, the Jack she knew wouldn't had done that. He says, Sam and Dean were grateful. They didn't know what he had done. He wants to know if she will tell them. She responds saying, he needs help and they can help and that they are family. A visibly distressed Jack tells Mary to leave him alone, as she follows him into the woods, Jack continues to scream to be left alone, before worriedly saying Mary's name.
