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.
Sam tracks Amy, and she pleads her case with him - this was an extraordinary situation, and she is trying to live a normal life. remembering that she killed her mother to save him, Sam lets her live.
After Dean catches up with him, Sam reveals the whole story. Later unbeknownst to Sam, Dean tracks Amy down and kills her. As she dies, her eyes appear like those of a fox - the Kitsune.
