Supernatural Station

The Apocalypse is nigh and Dean has been called into service by the angels. He is taken away mid-argument with Bobby to what looks like a luxurious palace to await his instructions.

Back in middle America, Sam and Ruby are on the hunt for Lilith. They have captured her “chef” and Sam uses his mojo to torture Lilith’s location out of her. Fearing her impending death, the demon returns control to the terrified woman who it possessed, causing Sam to have second thoughts. But Ruby reminds him that he needs her demon blood to kill Lilith and there is no more time left.

Dean learns from the angel Zachariah that his job is not to stop the Apocalypse, but to end it after it begins, that it is his brother who will begin the Apocalypse by killing Lilith, the final seal. He attempts to leave but finds that the palace has turned into a gilded prison. Dean appeals to Castiel who defies his orders and helps Dean escape. Castiel takes Dean to the prophet Chuck who tells them Sam’s location, then he transports Dean there, staying behind to hold off the archangel.

Dean arrives at the abandoned convert before the seal is broken, but Ruby sees him and bars the doors against him so he cannot reach Sam. His muffled shouts and pounding at the door goes unheeded as Sam proceeds to kill Lilith at the alter.

Afterwards, Ruby laughs in triumph and tells Sam that he has done exactly what he was destined for. Sam is flabbergasted as she takes pride in her role in manipulating him to make all the “right” choices to fulfill that destiny. Sam angrily tries to kill her, but has no more mojo left. Then Dean breaks through the door armed with the demon-killing knife. Sam grabs Ruby and holds her as Dean stabbed her to death.

Then the convent floor becomes awash in a blaze of light as Lucifer’s prison door opens.
The end.

As the night gives way to daylight Dean wakes from a fitful sleep to find Castiel sitting beside him on the bed. Unbeknownst to Dean, Sam had crept out of the motel room in the dead of the night to meet Ruby. Castiel tells Dean, “you have to stop it” then touches Dean's forehead. A dazed Dean suddenly finds himself lying on a wooden sidewalk bench outside in the daylight.

Forced to move by a beat cop, Dean walks to a nearby diner where he strikes up conversation with the dark haired young man sitting next to him. Dean learns that he is in Lawrence, Kansas and that the date is 1973. When someone calls out the name Winchester both Dean and the dark-haired man turn around. When the caller goes up to John, Dean becomes aware that the young man next to him is none other than John Winchester, his own father.

John leaves the diner and Dean follows him to a car dealership where he convinces him to buy a 1967 impala instead of a VW bus. From there, Dean follows John to the home of Mary Campbell, Dean's own mother who John is currently dating. While spying on his soon-to-be parents during their date, Dean is confronted by Mary outside the diner. Mary engages Dean in physical combat and Dean is barely able to subdue her. In the struggle, he sees her bracelet of charms and realizes that his mother is a hunter like himself.

After their date was over and John drives away, Mary introduces Dean “Van Halen” to her parents (his grandparents), Samuel and Deeanna Campbell, also hunters. Dean learns from Samuel that there are possible demonic omens in the area. Horning in on his grandfather's hunt, Dean discovers that the yellow-eyed demon is in Lawrence and making deals with young people. Using the colt which he “borrows” from Daniel Elkins, Dean attempts to kill the yellow-eyed demon now (in the past, that is) in order to save his mother from dying in the fire in the future. But the demon escapes by holding Mary hostage and Dean is unable to get off a shot. Later Dean confesses to his grandfather who he really is and why it is so important to kill the demon only to be laughed at by the yellow-eyed demon, himself, now occupying his grandfather's body. The demon kills Samuel Campbell and his wife, then goes looking for Mary who had run off to be with John Winchester after the hostage incident.

When demon Samuel find Mary, he kills John and forces Mary to make a deal with him so she could have John back in exchange for an invitation into her home 10 years in the future. Dean arrives after the demon sealed the deal with a kiss. The demon escapes before Dean can fire the colt and Dean was unable to prevent the tragic future that his mother faces.

Castiel appears and takes a devastated Dean back into the present. Back in the motel room, Castiel tells Dean he could not have changed the past. He sent him back to learn the truth about his brother Sam. Then he tells Dean that Sam is on “a dangerous path” and that Dean needs to stop him or they will.
The end.

Dean Winchester is back! His soul has been pulled from the pits of hell and pushed back into his body with such force that the trees surrounding his burial site have been flattened. After dragging himself out of his own grave, he finds that his body has been completely healed of all mortal wounds, but there is a new scar on his shoulder, a scar that looks like a hand print.

When Dean knocks on Bobby's door, Bobby' reaction is disbelief and kill-first-ask-questions later. He is convinced only after Dean demonstrates that a cut from a silver knife doesn't poison and holy water in the face doesn't burn.

When Dean and Bobby shows up at Sam's motel room, Sam's reaction to Dean's appearance is disbelief and kill-first-ask-questions later. He is convinced only when Bobby tells him it's really him and Dean says “I look fantastic”.

After Sam denies having anything to do with Dean's resurrection, though he did try and fail, they visit a psychic friend of Bobby's to get answers. But the entity cannot be viewed with human eyes and the psychic is blinded for her efforts.

Next, the Winchester question some demons in the area, but they too have no answers and are running scared. Sam wants to kill the demons, but Dean says no they are outnumbered. Dean wants to summon the thing that pulled him from hell, but Sam says no it's too dangerous.

Sam sneaks off to confront the demons with an all-new Ruby as companion. Deans goes off to summon the entity with good old Bobby at his side. Sam succeeds and sends the demon to hell with his bare hands and a new found psychic ability. Dean summons the entity, but cannot kill it despite his best efforts. This being now occupying the body of a man, claims to be a angel of the lord. He tell Dean he has been resurrected to perform a mission for God.
The end.

There is just over one day left before Dean goes to hell and the Winchesters are at Bobby's trying to find a way out of Dean's deal. Bobby uses a tuning device to find Lilith, the demon who holds Dean's contract. But they have no way to kill the demon, so Sam secretly goes to Bobby's barn and summons Ruby. But Ruby refuses to give Sam her demon-killer knife. Instead, she tries to persuade him to use his dormant demonic powers. Dean interrupts them and deliberately starts a fight with Ruby. Dean uses the fight to snag Ruby's knife and trap her in a “devil’s trap”. Then the brothers leave and head to New Harmony, Indiana to go after Lilith with their newly acquired demon-killer weapon. They are followed by Bobby, who refused to be left behind in this fight.

On the road, Dean discovers that he can see the true face of demons when a demon-possessed cop pulls the impala over. With only 5 hours left, Dean's closeness to hell has given him this ability and he uses it to locate demons protecting Lilith in New Harmony. Ruby shows up and the three of them sneak into the house where Lilith is, then separate to find her. Sam finds the child but she is no longer possessed by Lilith and time has run out for Dean. Fleeing a hellhound, all three lock themselves in a room that Dean protects with goofa dust. Ruby persuades Sam to give her the knife and he is about to when Dean looks at her and declares that she is not Ruby. Sam tries to stab her but her powers are too great and she pins him to the wall. Lilith-Ruby opens the door and lets in the hellhounds to attack Dean. Then she turns on Sam and tries to fry him with with her demonic power, but strangely it does not work on Sam and she backs away from him in fright. Sam advances and tries to kill her but she flees Ruby's body. He goes over to his brother and breaks down crying as he stoops to hold Dean's torn and lifeless body in his arms. Dean Winchester is dead. In Dean's unblinking eyes we see a horrific scene of him in hell, impaled by hooks and chains and screaming for help.
The end.

Dean has only 15 days left and no way out of the contract. The brothers attempt to force a captured demon to tell them who holds Dean's contract, fails. After Sam exorcises the demon, he mentions a case in Erie, Pennsylvania where a man was killed by something that took out his liver. Dean is puzzled by Sam's turnabout, but agrees to go on the hunt. In Erie, they learn that the killer is an old nemesis of their Dad's, Doc Benton, a 19th century physician, obsessed with immortality, who steals body parts to replace his own. About to close in on the doctor, the hunt is interrupted when Bobby calls and tells Dean that he knows where Bella is. Dean wants to drop everything and go. Sam refuses and admits that he wants to learn Doc Benton's secret. Sam thinks his immortality formula is a way out of the deal. An argument ensues. Dean goes off to find Bella and the colt. Sam stays behind to find the doc.

In Erie, Pennsylanvia, Sam finds Doc Benton's backwoods cabin, steals the doc's journal, rescues a woman, and is confronted by Doc Benton. In Canaan, Vermont, Dean befriends Rufus, a former hunter and recluse, learns from him about Bella's past, then confronts Bella in her hotel room. In Erie, Sam fights off the doc and runs over him with his rented jeep. In Canaan, Dean searches Bella's belongings but doesn't find the colt, threatens to kill her, then changes his mind and exits. A phone call later and Sam tells Dean of his success in finding the doc's journal and Dean tells Sam of his failure to find the colt. This conversation is abruptly cut off when Sam is chloroformed and kidnapped by Doc Benton.

Sam wakes up to find himself strapped to an operating table with his eyes taped wide open. Doc Benton is about to remove one of his eyes, when he is shot multiple times by Dean. Dean then stabs him through the heart with a knife dipped in chloroform, sedating the unkillable doc. With Sam's reluctant help, Dean buries the doctor and his journal in a refrigerator turned makeshift coffin that is chained shut.

That night, Bella sneaks into the Winchester's motel room and shoots into their twin beds, but the brothers are long gone. The phone rings and Dean is on the other end. He tells Bella he knows she made a deal with a demon and that her 10 years were up, tonight. She begs for help. He says it's too late. Bella then reveals the name of the demon holding his contract. It is Lilith, Sam's nemesis. The call ends and we hear the sound of a baying hound while a teary-faced Bella stares out the motel room window.
The end.

The brothers take on a case in Milan, Ohio where people are killing themselves after getting phone calls from deceased loved ones. Disguised as company execs, they visit the telephone company branch office to trace a century old telephone number that showed up on one victim’s caller-id. Stewey, a sloppy, porn-addicted technician, reluctantly came up with a list of people called, but was unable to find where the number came from. Their own EMF check on Thomas Edison’s “spirit” phone in a museum also came up empty. Then Dean’s cellphone rings and he hears his dad voice on the other end before the call drops off. Dean thinks the call is genuine, but Sam is skeptical. That night, “John Winchester” calls again and tells Dean about a way to get out of his demon deal.

The next day, Sam heads out to rescue a young victim and Dean goes to the house that “dad” directed him to. Sam discovers that the “spirit” caller is a “crocada”, a soul-eater that lives in filth and says “come to me” to it’s victims, and calls Dean to meet him at the phone company. Sam confronts Stewey, the phone tech, but is captured when the real “crocada”, Steve, another phone company employee, hits him from behind. He learns he never actually spoke to Dean and that Dean was sent into another trap by the “crocada”. Sam manages to free himself and kills the crocada after a struggle. Dean, in turn, fights a man he thinks is a demon, then realizes his error and stops. Both brothers return to the motel a little worse for the wear, but alive and well. The end.

This episode opens with the return of the season one duo, Harry Spengler and Ed Zeddmore, who are airing their reality show, Ghostfacers to the TV audience. On video, they introduce their cast of geeks which include, a cameraman, Spruce, Ed's adopted sister, Maggie, and the gay intern, Corbett, forming the “Ghostfacers” team, plus two grim-faced but handsome extras, Sam and Dean. The film is about the Ghostfacers' investigation of the Morton house, an abandoned house that is reputed to be haunted every leap year, on February 29th at midnight. We see the Ghostfacers set up their equipment, then get interrupted by a couple guys, Sam and Dean, who identifies themselves as police and orders the Ghostfacers off the property. But Ed recognizes them and declares that they are not cops. This leads to a heated exchange and several sections of bleeped out cursing on video.

Then the intern, Corbett, disappears after wandering off on his own and Sam and Dean take charge of the situation. They begin a search and find clues that the previous owner, Freeman Daggett (isn't that from The X-files?), a former hospital janitor, was a disturbed and paranoid individual who took home dead bodies to play with. Two of these were now restless ghosts caught on film reenacting their demise inside the house. Then Sam also disappears and all the house exits are sealed off. Dean's frantic search reveals a hidden bomb shelter and he manages to rescue Sam in the nick of time, but too late for the intern, Corbett, who was killed by the homicidal ghost. When Corbett reappears as a ghost, Ed appeals to his lovestruck feelings and asks for his help. Corbett then attacks and destroys his own killer.

Later, after previewing the pilot themselves, the Winchesters drive off leaving behind a self-made magnet that wipes the hard disk containing the Ghostfacers video. The end.
