Directly following [[7.01 Meet The New Boss]], [[Dean]] and [[Bobby]] are confronted with one of many [[Leviathans]] that is occupying [[Castiel]]'s [[vessel]]; however, [[Jimmy Novak]]'s body cannot contain them all. It is rapidly deteriorating and so, rather than finish them off, the Leviathans retreat. Dean and Bobby follow and find [[Sam]], who is caught up in a hallucination involving [[Lucifer]]. Lucifer's image is bent on making Sam believe that he is still in [[Hell]] and that everything else is an illusion—a creative form of torture. Dean snaps Sam out of the hallucination, and the three of them follow the Leviathans, still occupying Castiel's vessel, to a nearby reservoir.
Castiel's vessel wades into the reservoir and, as they watch, instantly dissolves, creating a disappears beneath the surface. A vortex that then erupts outwards and spreads a black ooze throughout the waterwhich vanishes moments later. Bobby remarks that, now that they're in the pipes, the Leviathans will be able to travel anywhere. They find Dean finds Castiel's trench coat floating in the water, but nothing else there is left no other sign of what may have happened to the angel's vesseland the hunters assume that he has been destroyed by the Leviathans. Dean takes the trench coat with him as they leave the resevoir.
Back at Bobby's house, Dean wakes Sam and examines the palm of his hand, which was injured confronting Castiel. Sam "sees" Lucifer in the room with them and "hears" his commentary as first Dean pours liquor over the crude stitches, and then Bobby re-bandages the injury. When Dean questions Sam about his condition, Sam admits that he's not just having flashbacks anymore—he's seeing Lucifer. When Dean learns that Sam isn't sure what's real and what's not, he's at a loss as to how to convince Sam that he's no longer in Hell. He watches worriedly as Sam strips and restrips his gun, and then turns on the GPS on Sam's phone in case he "flies the cuckoo's nest." Bobby asks him how ''he's'' doing, but Dean insists that he's fine.
