|Synopsis= The episode begins with [[Sam]] meeting up with [[Ruby]], which is the perfect opportunity for [[Castiel]] to drop in on [[Dean]]. The [[angel]] tells him that he has to "stop it," at which point he touches Dean's forehead and sends him back to [[Lawrence, Kansas]] circa 1973. Dean heads into a diner and chats up a young guy who turns out to be [[John Winchester]]. Dean's mind is blown when he figures out what's going on.
Dean runs into Castiel as he follows his father around, and the angel once again cryptically tells him that he has to stop something. Dean follows John to a car lot, where he suggests his father buy the '67 Chevy [[Impala]] instead of an old VW van. Dean introduces himself as Dean Van Halen and assures John that the car will still be bad-ass when it's 40. Dean tries to get info about the mysterious event he has to stop, but John hasn't smelled any sulfur or noticed any strange happenings lately. Dean follows [[Mary]] home and goes inside to meet her father, [[Samuel Campbell|Samuel]]. He's also a hunter, and though Dean convinces him that he's a hunter with his knowledge of [[vampire]] slaying, Samuel doesn't trust others in his profession. Mary's mother, [[Deanna Campbell|Deanna]], is a bit more friendly and invites Dean to stay for dinner. Grandpa Samuel is currently looking into a farmer's mysterious death, but he'd rather have Mary act as his partner on the case than Dean.
Azazel asks Dean if he's one of his psychic kids, but a quick sniff of Dean's neck reveals that he's not. Dean figures out that the demon has been playing matchmaker and hooking up parents to create his own master race of special children. Azazel explains that in 10 years he'll show up to pour some [[demon blood]] into the mouths of the children, not to find a leader for his demon army like Dean and Sam long assumed, but for something much bigger. Whatever his endgame is, he chooses not to reveal it. Azazel then jabs a knife into the gut of his current [[meat suit]], Grandpa Samuel, so he'll die once his body is empty. He also snaps Deanna's neck for good measure.
As John and Mary share a romantic moment in the [[Impala]], Samuel/Azazel interrupts, yanks his daughter out of the car, and snaps John's neck. Azazel tells Mary that her parents are dead. He also explains that he'll bring John back to life if she simply agrees to make a little [[deal]] with him. He doesn't want her soul, but permission to visit baby Sammy in 10 years. He promises no one will get hurt as long as his ritual isn't interrupted, so she goes ahead and seals the deal with a kiss. Dean shows up a moment later to kill the demon, but the smoke escapes once again, leaving Samuel dead.
Mary's parents may be dead, but John quickly springs back to life, at which point Castiel appears to bring Dean back to the present. The angel explains that Dean couldn't have changed history even if he wanted to. He didn't send Dean back to stop anything, but to show him the whole truth. Now he's aware of exactly what happened to Sam, but even the angels are clueless when it comes to figuring out what [[Azazel]]'s true endgame is. Maybe Dean can crack the case. "Your brother is headed down a dangerous road, Dean," Castiel explains. "We're not sure where it leads. So stop it, or we will."
The episode finishes with a "To Be Continued..."
