12.18 The Memory Remains

Wanting to question Jarrod Hayes' closest friend, Daryn Boston, further on his disappearance, Sam and Dean turn up at his workplace the next morning. A worker at the meat-processing plant, Pete Garfinkle, tells them Daryn didn't turn up for work that day. Pete also goes on to inform them that the sheriff owns the plant. Sam and Dean find it suspicious that their one witness goes missing, and the last place he's seen is owned by the town's sheriff.

Later, when Sam and Dean have broken into the Bishop family mansion, they find the place largely abandoned aside from a locked basement that hides what appears to be a murder room. As they're exploring the room, Sheriff Bishop returns home and Sam and Dean interrogate him about the room. Sheriff Bishop explains that Black Bill isn't real, he's just members of the Bishop family dressed up in a goat's head mask. Members of the Bishop family would dress up as Black Bill and hunt random people down to bring them back as a sacrifice to the god Moloch, who lived under their house. A few generations back, a member of the Bishop family had bound Moloch and imprisoned him beneath the Bishop family mansion. Starved, Moloch agreed to make the family rich in exchange for food—human blood. When Sheriff Barrett Bishop, Jr.'s father died in 1997, the sheriff decided to put a stop to the deal, and tried to make up for all the disappearances his family had caused. In the meanwhile, he kept Moloch locked away, hoping he'd starve to death. When he tells the Winchesters this, they ask where Moloch is locked up. This is when Sheriff Bishop realizes the cage which previously held Moloch is empty—he's escaped.

When Dean heads upstairs to try and find Moloch, he finds Pete instead—Sheriff Bishop's half-brother—in his Black Bill getup. Pete throws Dean over a bannister and runs down to lock Sam and Sheriff Bishop in the basement. Sheriff Bishop hands Sam a meat cleaver and they break out of the basement and Sam tracks Dean's phone. They head outside, where Pete bludgeons Sam. Sheriff Bishop tackles Pete and unmasks him, pleading for him to stop. Pete complains about Barrett not caring about him, but Barrett counters that he gave him their family meat plant. Pete accuses him of only giving him the plant because he knew it was failing, and that he was used to getting the "crap" all his life. He throws Sheriff Bishop off of him and aims the Colt which he'd taken from Dean at Sheriff Bishop. Just before he has the chance to shoot him, Sam shoots Pete dead.
