Amy Pond and her mother are kitsune who travel around the country. They crossed paths with the Winchesters in Lincoln, Nebraska. Sam and Amy meet and immediately connect, only belatedly discovering that they are on opposite sides. When her mother attacks Sam, Amy kills her to protect him, knowing that she is a monster.

Sam sees details of the killings in a local paper, and examines the body of the latest victim – a heroin dealer who has had part of his brain removed.
