 +
 +
In [[the Bunker]], [[Sam]] is on the phone with [[Castiel]] when [[Dean]] comes in with egg white omelets. In order to control the [[Mark of Cain]], Dean is on a 12 step program: no drinking, 8 hours of sleep, and eating healthy. The boys are researching when Sam comes across a video of Charlie beating up someone.  Dean believes there has to be a reason. Further research reveals another victim, both in Topeka. They decide to check it out, and while packing weapons Dean's hand shakes.

Charlie is tracking driver that killed her parents.
 +
 +
On the way to Barbara's house, Sam reviews Charlie's file. They find out her real name is Celeste.  When Barbara Cordry is less than helpful, the boys stake out the house, as they continue to review Charlie's file. Dean continues to believe there is an explanation.  A scream from the house, sends the Boys running. They find Charlie holding a knife to Barbara's throat. The boys question Charlie who makes a run for it. Dean tackles Charlie and they wrestle but she escapes.  Charlie slashes Baby's tires and then pulls away, just as another Charlie pulls up. The second Charlie tells the Boys that need to catch up.

Good Charlie explains that there are two Charlies: one good and one bad. The split happened in [[Oz]] when [[the Wizard of Oz]] told Charlie that she had to release her inner darkness to win the war in Emerald City.  Charlie explains that the two Charlies are connected physically but are two separate beings.  The boys want to put the 2 Charlies back together.  They surmise that they need the Wizard's help, but the key to Oz is broken. However, the first step is finding Dark Charlie.  The Boys discover that it all leads back to Russell Wellington who it appears was the drunk driver that killed Charlie's parents.  The Boys split up, with Sam and Charlie returning to the Bunker to find a way back to Oz and Dean trying to find Dark Charlie.
 +
 +
Sam and Good Charlie search the [[Men of Letters]] archives and they find out that [[Clive Dillon]] is the one that originally found the key to Oz.  It seems that Clive went to Oz, and then [[L. Frank Baum]] rescued Clive. Clive retired, and Sam and Good Charlie track him to a nearby town.
 +
 +
Meanwhile Dean stakes out the office of Russell Wellington, but at the end of the business day, Dean is forced to meet with Wellington.  Dean pretends to be a potential real estate buyer. Dean finally comes clean and lays it on the table for Mr. Wellington.  Dark Charlie shows up, and she convinces Dean that she just wants to talk to Wellington. Dean allows her to do this, but Dark Charlie kills Wellington instead. 
 +
 +
Dean calls Sam to tell him what happened. Sam tells Dean to meet them at Clive Dillon's house. Before Dean can leave to meet Sam, Dark Charlie approaches him and teases him about his dark side. Dean taunts back that Sam and Good Charlie have a way to end Dark Charlie. Dark Charlie leaves and steals Baby. 
 +
 +
Sam and Good Charlie arrive at Clive's house and explain why they are there.  At first, he denies knowing anything about Oz, but then he tells them that his Dark Half is really the Wizard. He can't fix the key or Charlie. Good Charlie is worried about Dorothy. Clive doesn't know how to get back to Oz, but he knows how to get the Wizard to come to him. Clive shoots himself.
 +
 +
Dean arrives at the house, and Dark Charlie has followed him.  Dark Charlie confronts Dean on the front lawn of the house, while inside, the Wizard comes through a mirror. The Wizard immobilizes Sam, while Dean and Dark Charlie fight outside. Good Charlie feels every punch that Dean lands on Dark Charlie.  Clive is lying on the floor with a gunshot and he points to the gun, indicating that Good Charlie should shoot him.  Good Charlie picks up the gun, apologizes to Clive, and shoots him in the head. This kills Clive and the Wizard.  Sam, who is now freed, carries Good Charlie outside and yells for Dean to stop hitting Dark Charlie. 
 +
 +
Sam lays Good Charlie next Dark Charlie and then pulls out a key that the Wizard had with him. The two Charlies confront each other before Sam puts the key in Good Charlie's hand. The two Charlies merge into one.  Sam comforts Charlie while a desolate Dean watches.
 +
 +
Back at the Bunker, Sam fills in Cas via phone. Sam is worried about Dean – they have to find something. A banged up Charlie approaches the Boys. She has slept for 2 days and she has had enough rest. Charlie is not good or bad, just balanced.  Charlie asks about the Mark and Sam has found a book that might be helpful, but the book is in Tuscany. Charlie volunteers to check it out.  Before she leaves, she tells Dean that they will fix this, meaning the Mark of Cain.  Dean isn't convinced, but Charlie knows he has something that Cain didn't.  Dean's eyes to flick to Sam. Dean is a Winchester. Then she forgives Dean, but he doesn't forgive himself. After Charlie leaves, Sam reiterates Charlie's words:  they can do this.

Synopsis

In a dark house, a man runs down the stairs and outside, where he falls down. Charlie approaches and says she is going to torture him.

In the Bunker, Sam is on the phone with Castiel when Dean comes in with egg white omelets. In order to control the Mark of Cain, Dean is on a 12 step program: no drinking, 8 hours of sleep, and eating healthy. The boys are researching when Sam comes across a video of Charlie beating up someone. Dean believes there has to be a reason. Further research reveals another victim, both in Topeka. They decide to check it out, and while packing weapons Dean's hand shakes.

In Topeka, Sam and Dean question the torture victim. He tells them that Charlie wanted to know about the Middleton drunk driving case. While a concerned Sam watches, Dean threatens the man until he admits that he gave Charlie a name, Councilwoman Barbara Cordry. Charlie is tracking driver that killed her parents.

On the way to Barbara's house, Sam reviews Charlie's file. They find out her real name is Celeste. When Barbara Cordry is less than helpful, the boys stake out the house, as they continue to review Charlie's file. Dean continues to believe there is an explanation. A scream from the house, sends the Boys running. They find Charlie holding a knife to Barbara's throat. The boys question Charlie who makes a run for it. Dean tackles Charlie and they wrestle but she escapes. Charlie slashes Baby's tires and then pulls away, just as another Charlie pulls up. The second Charlie tells the Boys that need to catch up.

Good Charlie explains that there are two Charlies: one good and one bad. The split happened in Oz when the Wizard of Oz told Charlie that she had to release her inner darkness to win the war in Emerald City. Charlie explains that the two Charlies are connected physically but are two separate beings. The boys want to put the 2 Charlies back together.

Quotes

Dean: Sooner we get rid of this demonic tramp stamp, I am back on the booze, burgers... and more booze. Tell me you got something.
Sam: Anti-authority disorder, clinical depression, violent outbursts; Charlie was a-
Dean: Dude, if a shrink interviewed us at that age, you think the report would be all kittens and rainbows? Come on, she's a good kid. There's got to be an explanation for this man, there's just got to be.
Dark Charlie: Oh Sam, you're adorable. You're not gonna hurt me, in fact that's your problem. All good guy code no bite, what a waste. And you, always letting this albatross hold you back.
Sam: There are two of you? One good and one bad?

Dean: Yeah, and what, dick you is some sort of a ninja?

Charlie: She's a badass, yeah.
Charlie: We're still connected physically, if you hurt her, you hurt me. But bottom line, she's bad and I'm good. And let me just tell you being good is really annoying. Normally at a place like this, I'd be pounding Harvey Wallbangers and checking out the bartender's ass. Now all I wanna do is sip club sodas and send her to college.
Dean: Charlie... Lets talk about this.
Dark Charlie: You Winchester boys and your talk. Blah blah blah repressed feelings. Blah blah blah passive aggression.
Dark Charlie: You hit like a girl who never learned how to hit.
Charlie: We are going to fix this. I'm not letting what happened to me happen to you.

Dean: But it's already happened.
Sam: Cain found a way to live with it.
Dean: Right yeah, after centuries of murder.
Charlie: Yeah well, there's one thing you have that he didn't. You're a Winchester... I forgive you Dean.
Dean: Yeah well, I don't.
Charlie: I know, kinda your move. How's that working out for you?
Dean: I'm so sorry kiddo.

Charlie: Then prove it.
Charlie: Arrivederci, bitches.
Sam: She's right, Dean. You can do this. We can do this.
Dean: Then let's get to work.
