Synopsis

At Bobby’s place, Dean and Sam are arguing over whether Castiel could really be an angel when Bobby’s research turns up the information that only an angel can rescue someone from hell. Dean is uncomfortable with the idea that God has a special interest in him. They agree to research angels, with dean sending Sam out to get him some pie. While he’s out Ruby appears, and tells Sam that she is nervous about angels being around, and that she is going to make herself scarce for a while. She tells him he should be afraid too. When Sam returns, sans pie, Bobby tells Sam that they are heading out to check on a hunter friend of his, Olivia Lowry, who he has been calling about angels, but that she isn’t answering.

They find Olivia dead, ripped apart, seemingly by a spirit. Bobby and the boys split up and go to check on other hunters in the area, only to find them all dead. On the way back to Bobby’s, the boys stop at a gas station. Dean is asleep in the car while Sam goes to the bathroom.

There he is confronted by the ghost of Special Agent Victor Henriksen, who blames Sam and Dean for his death, before attacking Sam. During the assault Dean enters, and saves Sam by blasting Henriksen with rock salt.

At home, Bobby is confronted by the spirits of two young girls, who accuse him of failing to save them from the ‘monster’ that killed them. They capture him and hold him in a car wreck in his salvage card while they torment him.

Sam and Dean return, then split up to try to find Bobby. Dean is confronted by the sprit of Meg Masters. She tells him how she was a college student when she was possessed, and that she was 'awake' during her possession, and witnessed much horror. As she beats and kicks Dean, Meg also tells him how her disappearance had a terrible affect on her younger sister, who killed herself after Meg was found dead. Dean manages to shoot a chandelier made of iron which falls on the spirit dispelling her.

Meanwhile Sam has found and rescued Bobby. Bobby leads Sam and Dean to a safe room in his house. It is a cylindrical room, completed lined in iron coated in salt to keep spirits from entering. In the roof is a large extraction fan, below which is an grill with metal work in the shape of a Devil's Trap. The room has a bed, and appears well-stocked with supplies and equipment.

Sam and Dean have seen a brand on the spirits, which Bobby finds out identifies them as Witnesses whose appearance heralds the coming of the apocalypse. Bobby finds a spell that will send the spirits to rest, but they need an open fire for it. They leave the sanctuary of Bobby's Panic Room and return to the library, and on the way encounter the spirit of Ronald Resnick, who charges Sam and Dean with being responsible for his death, before Bobby shoots him with Salt.

Once in the library, Bobby starts preparing for the spell, and sends Sam upstairs to get a hex box, and Dean to the kitchen for ingredients for the spell. Sam is confronted by Meg, who is outraged that he is working with Ruby, knowing that she is possessing an innocent girl as Meg herself was possessed. Sam dispels her with a salt blast. Meanwhile in the kitchen; Henriksen appears to Dean. He tells him how Lilith tortured everyone in the police station, including flaying Nancy alive. He attacks Dean, but Sam arrives in time to save him.

Sam and Dean retreat to the library and protect Bobby as the Witnesses reappear and attack. Just as Meg is about to rip Bobby's heart out, he completes the spell, with Dean's help and the spitits vanish.

That night Castiel appears to Dean. He tells Dean that Lilith cast a spell that released the Witnesses. He explains that this is the first of sixty six seals that, if all broken, will release Lucifer, and this is why Angels have returned to Earth.

The next morning, Dean asks Sam if he believes in the Devil.

Meg: You saw how I suffered for months. I thought you must have learned something. I thought I died for something. But what you're doing with that demon, Ruby? How many innocent bodies has Ruby burned through for kicks? How many girls just like me? And you don't send her back to Hell? You're a monster!
