Shapeshifter Bobby John

A shapeshifter is imitating men, impregnating their partners, and then returning when the child is six months old to steal it. Sam and Dean manage to rescue one baby. While in a market getting supplies, the cashier asks what the child is called and Dean says "Bobby" as Sam replies "John," and so they say his name is Bobby John.

A woman approaches and offers help when Bobby John starts crying. Dean spots retinal flare in her eyes on the security cameras and, while the Shapeshifter tries to steal the baby, they manage to get away, only to find out that the baby itself is a shapeshifter when is changes from a Caucasian baby to an African American one based on an image he sees on a pack of diapers.

They take the baby to the Campbell (family) hunter hideout, where Samuel decides they should raise it themselves. According to Samuel, Christian Campbell and his wife, Arlene, have been trying for a baby. Christian agrees to take in and raise the baby Shapeshifter, but they are then attacked by the Alpha Shapeshifter, who is immune to gunshots, a silver knife in the heart, and elephant tranquilizers. The Alpha kills Mark Campbell, overpowers the others, and takes the child.

Trivia

Bobby John's name is a combination of John Winchester's and Bobby Singer's first names. Considering how Bobby is seen as a father figure after John's death, it is possible that Sam and Dean were both trying to name him after their "father."
