|Synopsis=
+
The Network Upfronts are held each May, in the last week of sweeps week. Each network has a separate session in which to promote its programming for the next year, and showcase new shows. Over recent years, renewal, cancellation or pickup announcements will be made earlier.
−
[[Sam]] and [[Dean]] investigate a series of crimes and suicides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wherein people are behaving out of character - stealing from their places of business and then committing suicide shortly thereafter. During their investigation, they come across [[Ronald Reznick]], a victim who has conspiracy theories about "[[Mandroids]]." His amateur research reveals to Sam and Dean that the perpetrator of these crimes is in fact a [[shapeshifters|shapeshifter]], as previously seen in [[1.06 Skin]].
 
  
−
Plotting out the path of the shapeshifter in congruence with the city's sewers, Sam and Dean pinpoint the next place of attack - City Bank Milwaukee - and pose as security techs in order to view the bank's security camera footage and locate the undercover shapshifter. They are interrupted when Ronald comes into the bank, chaining the door closed behind him and brandishing a gun. Convincing Ronald that he believes him, Dean helps him lock everyone in the bank into the vault and they seek out the shapeshifter. Unfortunately, the shapeshifter has already changed appearance by this stage, and the tension is increased as it changes appearance multiple times, with Sam, Dean, and Ronald attempting to track it down in order to kill it. Ronald is shot and killed by a police sniper while in pursuit of the shapeshifter.

Jared, Jensen and Misha appeared at the CW Networks Upfront presentation held at The London Hotel on Thursday (May 17) in New York, with their presentation focusing on their 14th season and upcoming 300th episode. Earlier in the day CW president Mark Pedowitz had confirmed that the [[Wayward Sisters]] spin-off would not be picked up as it was not http://www.tvguide.com/news/the-cw-supernatural-spinoff-wayward-sisters/ "creatively where they wanted it to be".]
  
−
Meanwhile, the police are stationed outside, and they manage to see Dean's face as he leads an ailing hostage out to an ambulance. Once Dean has been identified, the FBI come in, and it's revealed that an agent has been tracking the Winchesters for some time and knows some details about their history and childhood. SWAT teams infiltrate the building while Dean fights and finally kills the shapeshifter. Sam and Dean escape the building by stealing and wearing SWAT team uniforms.

CW Boss Mark Pedowitz announced that Supernatural would stay on Tuesday nights, with new Arrow spinoff Flash as its lead in. It shows how much faith the network has in Supernatural, to pair it with its hottest new property. Pedowitz said that while the proposed Supernatural spinoff [[Supernatural: Bloodlines]] “just didn’t quite get there” creatively, he as a "real brand" and was keen to revisit the idea for season 10 with the creative team  of Supernatural over summer.

'''Ronald:''' Cops said it was some kind of reflected light. Some kind of "camera flare." Okay? Ain't no damn camera flare. They say I'm a post-trauma case. So what? Bank goes and fires me, it don't matter! The Mandroid is, is still out there. The law won't hunt this thing down -- I'll do it myself. You see, this thing, it, it, it kills the real person, makes it look like a suicide, then it sorta, like, morphs into that person. Cases the job for a while until it knows the take is fat, and then it finds its opening. Now, these robberies, they're, they're grouped together. So I figure the Mandroid is holed up somewhere in the middle, underground, maybe. I dunno, maybe that's where it recharges its, uh, Mandroid batteries.
