8.01 We Need To Talk About Kevin

Dean returns from Purgatory carrying Benny's soul in his arm and travels to Benny's grave in Louisiana. There, Dean performs a ritual, restoring Benny's soul to his body and resurrecting him. Dean tells Benny not to get into trouble and then the two embrace, celebrating their escape from Purgatory before going their seperate ways.

In a flashback, as Dean is attacked by another vampire while searching for Castiel, Benny saves him and kills the vampire. He offers Dean a deal: if Dean takes his soul with him, Benny will show him a way out of Purgatory that only humans can use. Dean stipulates that they must find Castiel first and while Benny is reluctant, he agrees and the deal is made.

Later, Benny calls Dean, but he pretends its a wrong number and hangs up, but later calls him back. Benny is watching a funeral and Dean suggests that for now they stay away from each other until they adjust, but tells Benny he can call him if he gets into trouble. Benny says that he agrees with Dean that Purgatory is "pure" and says he wishes he appreciated more like Dean.
