Synopsis
Sam and Dean investigate a series of crimes and suicides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wherein people are behaving out of character in stealing from their place of business and then committing suicide shortly thereafter. During their investigation, they come across Ronald "Ron" Reznick, a victim who has conspiracy theories about "Mandroids". His amateur research reveals to Sam and Dean that the perpetrator of these crimes is in fact a Shapeshifters, as previously seen in 1.06 Skin.
Plotting out the path of the skinwalker in accordance with the city's sewers, Sam and Dean pinpoint the next place of attack - City Bank Milwaukee - and pose as security techs in order to view security camera footage and locate the undercover shapshifter.
They are interrupted when Ron Reznick comes into the bank, chaining the door closed behind him and brandishing a gun. Convincing Ron that he believes him, Dean helps Ron lock everyone in the bank into the vault and helps him seek out the shapeshifter.
Unfortunately, the shapeshifter has already changed appearance by this stage, and the tension of the episode is increased as it changes appearance multiple times, Sam, Dean and Ron attempting to track it down in order to kill it. Ron is shot and killed by a police sniper while in pursuit of the shapeshifter.
Meanwhile, outside the police are stationed, and manage to see Dean's face as he leads an ailing hostage out to an ambulance. Once Dean has been identified, the FBI come in, and it's revealed that an Agent has been tracking the Winchesters for some time, and knows some details about their history and childhood.
SWAT teams infiltrate the building while Dean fights and finally kills the shapeshifter. Sam and Dean escape the building by stealing and wearing SWAT team uniforms.

Sam: What if he's the shifter?
Sam: We're not working for the Mandroid!
Dean: You don't know crap about my dad.
Henricksen: Ex-marine, raised his kids on the road, cheap motels, backwood cabins, real pair of military-survivalist type. I just can't get a handle on what type of wacko he was. White supremacist, Timothy McVeigh? Tomato, tomahto.
