+ | [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] are in the library when they hear a strange noise from elsewhere in [[the Bunker]]. On investigation they find that a mini mint green Fiat has materialized in a room, and out of it step rather [[Sam and Dean Winchester (HunterCorp)|fancier versions of themselves]]. Before they can process what they are seeing, the rift behind their doubles closes and the car and their doppelgangers disappear. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Billie]] appears and explains that the other Winchesters were probably feeling thier universe as [[Chuck]] is destroying all the other worlds he created. She explains that having strengthened [[Jack]]’s body through the consumption of the [[Grigori]] hearts, the next step for Jack to ready himself to kill God is more spiritual in nature. She says he must find something called [[the Occultum]]. As Sam and Dean research the Occultum, they discuss that if they kill God, they will also need to kill [[Amara]] to keep the universe in balance. [[Castiel]] reports that the [[shaman]] [[Segei]] has informed him that a [[faith healer]] had aquired the Occultum some years ago, and by the description Sergei gave him, the three realize it was [[Sister Jo]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sam and Dean go and pay a visit Jo, who informs them that she used to occasionally work with [[Ruby]]. She tells them that years ago, Ruby came to her with a buyer for the Occultum and Sister Jo gave it to her, but Ruby was killed by Sam before the deal went through, but tells Sam and Dean that Ruby hid the object in [[Hell]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the Bunker, Jack tells Castiel that without his [[soul]], he is still unable to feel things. He know Sam and Dean are still angry and hurt because he killed [[Mary]], and wonders if they, especially Dean, will ever forgive him. Castiel tells him it's possible, and that Dean feels things deeply, and while one day he made forgive Jack, he doesn’t know when. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Castiel alerts Sam and Dean to the fact that their doubles appear stuck between worlds, and are still faintly visible from the Bunker. As they seem to not be suffering, the boys leave them and move on with their plan to find the Occultum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using [[Rowena]]’s [[spell]], Sam does the magic necessary to get them to Hell. Meanwhile, Castiel speculates to Jack that Sister Jo’s story has many holes in it. He proposes to speak to Ruby who is, as all dead [[demons]] are, trapped in [[the Empty]]. He gets Jack to “almost” kill him by removing his lifeforce. In the Empty, the [[Cosmic Entity]] appears in the guise of [[Meg]]. It makes it clear that while it is working with [[Death]], she doesn't have to help Castiel. However, she obliges and awakens Ruby. Ruby goes on to tell Casteil that Jo came to her with the Occultum , and it was going to be their safe place to ride out the [[Apocalypse]] before she was killed. Ruby tells Castiel where to find the Occultum on the condition that he get her out of the Empty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Hell, Sam and Dean are met by a demon named Gregor, who promises to lead them to Rowena who is having a reception for the newly damned souls. Sam and Dean soon realize they are being lead into a trap and are attacked by demons who were promised an escape from Hell by Jo if they got rid of the brothers. After killing the demons, the boys escape and return to the Bunker to find Castiel dead. In the Empty, Castiel is denied from being sent back by the Entity, who tells him he wa never mentioned in any of Death's plans and begins to torture him. Back at the Bunker Jack brings Castiel back from near death in the Empty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As they prepare to retrieve the Occultum they realize that if Chuck checks the Bunker and they are not there, he may track them down. They come up with the idea of leaving the doppelgangers in their place. They use the rift opening spell, substituting [[archangel]] [[grace]] with Castiel's, to pull their doubles into their world. The “fancy” Winchesters tell them they are hunters and a part of a literal family business called HunterCorp, headed by John Winchester, much to Sam and Dean's shock. After being told what is going on, the HunterCorp Winchesters agree to play their part while the Winchester, Cas and Jack search for the Occultum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Arriving at an isolated Church, the team is quickly beset by [[hellhounds]] placed by Ruby to guard the Occultum. They quick break in, and as Sam holds the door, Dean, Jack and Cas start searching for the object, while hellhounds bay at the door. They find it a small blue velvet bag hidden underneath the floor. Inside the bag is a small, beautifully decorated, metal sphere inscribed in [[Enochian]]. On it are the words “In order to be in the Occultum, the Occultum must be in you." As Dean and Cas contemplate what it means, Jack takes this literally and swallows the orb, as Sam struggles to keep the doors closed against the hellhounds.. As this is going on, the HunterCorp Winchesters discuss how Sam and Dean have it made with the Bunker, hunting, drinking beers and [[porn]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the church, Jack doubles over in pain and soon disappears in a flash of white light. He finds himself in beautiful, lush garden where he is approached by a [[The Girl|young girl]] who tells him the place is the [[Garden of Eden]]. When he tells her he was told he would change some, she tells him if he was meant find it, he would know soon enough before disappearing. Jack is then approached by a snake who asks him “Who are you, really? Who are you meant to be?” as Jack suddenly begins remembering all that has happened, reliving all his memories. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the Garden, Jack collapses with the hurt and overwhelming weight of these flashbacks -- crying and sobbing and what he is being forced to relive. Inside the church, a ball of white lights appears from the ceiling, as Dean and Cas turn around to look at it, the white light radiates out as the hellhounds break through and are disintegrated as Jack regains consciousness. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Back in the Bunker, the fancy Winchesters depart for Brazil, despite asking Dean if they could stay with them. In the kitchen, Castiel tells Sam and Dean that Jack has been to the Garden, which is the crossroads of divinity and humanity and no one has been there since the exile. Jack is upset, crying, and apologises for killing Mary. He feels it now –- his soul is back. | ||

Synopsis
Sam and Dean are in the library when they hear a strange noise from elsewhere in the Bunker. On investigation they find that a mini mint green Fiat has materialized in a room, and out of it step rather fancier versions of themselves. Before they can process what they are seeing, the rift behind their doubles closes and the car and their doppelgangers disappear.
Billie appears and explains that the other Winchesters were probably feeling thier universe as Chuck is destroying all the other worlds he created. She explains that having strengthened Jack’s body through the consumption of the Grigori hearts, the next step for Jack to ready himself to kill God is more spiritual in nature. She says he must find something called the Occultum. As Sam and Dean research the Occultum, they discuss that if they kill God, they will also need to kill Amara to keep the universe in balance. Castiel reports that the shaman Segei has informed him that a faith healer had aquired the Occultum some years ago, and by the description Sergei gave him, the three realize it was Sister Jo.
Sam and Dean go and pay a visit Jo, who informs them that she used to occasionally work with Ruby. She tells them that years ago, Ruby came to her with a buyer for the Occultum and Sister Jo gave it to her, but Ruby was killed by Sam before the deal went through, but tells Sam and Dean that Ruby hid the object in Hell.
At the Bunker, Jack tells Castiel that without his soul, he is still unable to feel things. He know Sam and Dean are still angry and hurt because he killed Mary, and wonders if they, especially Dean, will ever forgive him. Castiel tells him it's possible, and that Dean feels things deeply, and while one day he made forgive Jack, he doesn’t know when.
Castiel alerts Sam and Dean to the fact that their doubles appear stuck between worlds, and are still faintly visible from the Bunker. As they seem to not be suffering, the boys leave them and move on with their plan to find the Occultum.
Using Rowena’s spell, Sam does the magic necessary to get them to Hell. Meanwhile, Castiel speculates to Jack that Sister Jo’s story has many holes in it. He proposes to speak to Ruby who is, as all dead demons are, trapped in the Empty. He gets Jack to “almost” kill him by removing his lifeforce. In the Empty, the Cosmic Entity appears in the guise of Meg. It makes it clear that while it is working with Death, she doesn't have to help Castiel. However, she obliges and awakens Ruby. Ruby goes on to tell Casteil that Jo came to her with the Occultum , and it was going to be their safe place to ride out the Apocalypse before she was killed. Ruby tells Castiel where to find the Occultum on the condition that he get her out of the Empty.
In Hell, Sam and Dean are met by a demon named Gregor, who promises to lead them to Rowena who is having a reception for the newly damned souls. Sam and Dean soon realize they are being lead into a trap and are attacked by demons who were promised an escape from Hell by Jo if they got rid of the brothers. After killing the demons, the boys escape and return to the Bunker to find Castiel dead. In the Empty, Castiel is denied from being sent back by the Entity, who tells him he wa never mentioned in any of Death's plans and begins to torture him. Back at the Bunker Jack brings Castiel back from near death in the Empty.
As they prepare to retrieve the Occultum they realize that if Chuck checks the Bunker and they are not there, he may track them down. They come up with the idea of leaving the doppelgangers in their place. They use the rift opening spell, substituting archangel grace with Castiel's, to pull their doubles into their world. The “fancy” Winchesters tell them they are hunters and a part of a literal family business called HunterCorp, headed by John Winchester, much to Sam and Dean's shock. After being told what is going on, the HunterCorp Winchesters agree to play their part while the Winchester, Cas and Jack search for the Occultum.
Arriving at an isolated Church, the team is quickly beset by hellhounds placed by Ruby to guard the Occultum. They quick break in, and as Sam holds the door, Dean, Jack and Cas start searching for the object, while hellhounds bay at the door. They find it a small blue velvet bag hidden underneath the floor. Inside the bag is a small, beautifully decorated, metal sphere inscribed in Enochian. On it are the words “In order to be in the Occultum, the Occultum must be in you." As Dean and Cas contemplate what it means, Jack takes this literally and swallows the orb, as Sam struggles to keep the doors closed against the hellhounds.. As this is going on, the HunterCorp Winchesters discuss how Sam and Dean have it made with the Bunker, hunting, drinking beers and porn.
At the church, Jack doubles over in pain and soon disappears in a flash of white light. He finds himself in beautiful, lush garden where he is approached by a young girl who tells him the place is the Garden of Eden. When he tells her he was told he would change some, she tells him if he was meant find it, he would know soon enough before disappearing. Jack is then approached by a snake who asks him “Who are you, really? Who are you meant to be?” as Jack suddenly begins remembering all that has happened, reliving all his memories.
In the Garden, Jack collapses with the hurt and overwhelming weight of these flashbacks -- crying and sobbing and what he is being forced to relive. Inside the church, a ball of white lights appears from the ceiling, as Dean and Cas turn around to look at it, the white light radiates out as the hellhounds break through and are disintegrated as Jack regains consciousness.
Back in the Bunker, the fancy Winchesters depart for Brazil, despite asking Dean if they could stay with them. In the kitchen, Castiel tells Sam and Dean that Jack has been to the Garden, which is the crossroads of divinity and humanity and no one has been there since the exile. Jack is upset, crying, and apologises for killing Mary. He feels it now –- his soul is back.

Quotes
AU Sam / AU Dean: What the heck?
Dean: I mean, we are better-looking.
Castiel: You know, Dean, he... he feels things more acutely than any human I've ever known. So it's possible he could work through this. One day, he may explode and let it all out and breathe deeply and move on.
Dean: "Sexually intimate"?
AU Sam: Look, hillbilly clothes are bad enough. I have to draw the line somewhere, and my hair... is sacred.
AU Sam: Yeah.
Jack: I was told this place might change me somehow.
