Changes

An old man, [[Daniel Elkins]], sits scribbling in his journal, and drinking Jack whiskey in a bar in Manning, Colorado. A group of people enter and catch Elkins’ attention. After leaving the bar in a hurry, Elkins is confronted by the woman leading the group he saw earlier. To defend himself, Elkins attempts to load an old 5 -shot Colt. However, after a struggle he is murdered.

In a diner somewhere in Nebraska [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] are looking over news stories for a job, when they read about Elkins' death. Dean recognizes the name from [[John's journal]] and they head west. Arriving at Elkins' cabin, the boys find it ransacked and in chaos, but in the darkness, they are being watched. Amongst the wreckage Dean finds not only a journal, a lot like their father's, but also a message. A : a combination to a post office box. A mail drop, just the way their father does it.

Opening the post office box they find a letter addressed to "J.W.", they They are startled by the surprise appearance of [[John Winchester]], their father. Reading the letter, he realizes that Elkins had been holding out on him about a legendary gun, a [[Colt]] made in 1835. Questioning the boys he realizes that whatever attacked Elkins has taken the gun. He tells them it's [[vampires]], and they will hunt them together.

As Sam and Dean sleep, John listens to a police scanner. He hears of an abandoned car left by a young couple after making a 911 call. Rousing the boys, they take off to investigate. Sam questions John, but John just asks Sam to follow him. When they reach the location of the abandoned car, Sam is bridling at John’s dominating attitude and is constantly questioning his father's orders. Dean is frustrated by the reoccurring recurring old arguments that drove the family apart.

Meanwhile, back at the vampire nest, [[Kate (vampire)|Kate]] presents her gifts taken from Elkins to her mate, Luther. Horrified that she killed the old man, even if it was to avenge his family, he states, “Revenge isn’t worth much if you end up dead.” He then recognizes the gun. Another confrontation between Sam and John exposes the still-seething anger between them. However, during their tracking of the vampire family, John tells them about vampires and that they can only be killed by beheading. After a moment, he reluctantly shares with them the details of what makes the Colt so special and why he needs it. Supposedly, it can kill anything. If this is true, it could be the key to killing [[Azazel|the Demon]] and avenging Mary.
