In Superior, Nebraska, [[Sam Winchester|Sam]] raids an abandoned hardware store and builds himself a taser. He uses it to capture another infected person, and he takes him back to the hospital, where he handcuffs him to a bed. He questions the man and attempts to learn more about the [[rabid]] virus, to try and find a cure.
Meanwhile, [[Castiel]], who is still suffering the effects of [[Rowena]]'s attack dog spell, has been captured by the angels [[Efram]] and [[Jonah]]. They have tied him up, and are torturing him for information on Metatron's whereabouts. Castiel tries to tell them that he doesn't know where Metatron is, but the angels don't believe him. After leaving [[Deputy Jenna Nickerson]] and baby [[Amara]] at Jenna's grandmother's house, [[Dean Winchester|Dean]] heads back toward the hospital in Superior where Sam is dealing with the rabids. However, when he gets a call from Jenna about how Amara is able to make objects fly, he turns the Impala around and returns to help her.
Back at the hospital in Superior, Sam has not been having much luck - the man he had taken prisoner lies dead on the floor, having succumbed to the infection. He continues to search for a cure, when suddenly, he hears a woman's voice singing. Grabbing his gun, he goes to investigate and finds that the voice belongs to a [[reaper]]. She tells him she has a message for him - that with Death now gone, the times of Sam and Dean dying and then coming back to life are over. If one of them dies now, the reapers will toss them into what she calls [[the Empty]], and no one comes back from there. She then adds that she knows that he is dying, and that he is unclean, in the Biblical sense. As she leaves, she reveals her name is [[Billie]].
The angels continue to torture Castiel until [[Hannah]] arrives, who tells them "Enough!" and to get out. The others leave and Castiel and Hannah are left alone. As Sam's rabid infection worsens, he goes to the hospital's chapel to pray to God for help, and to give him a sign. Afterward, he experiences several visions of himself being tortured. Shaken, he yells out in exasperation, "What does that mean?" Dean arrives back at Jenna's and is surprised to find [[Crowley]] there, posing as a priest.
Hannah goes to unchain Castiel but he tells her to leave them on, saying that it's safer that way. Castiel asks if she can heal him and remove the curse, but she is unable to. Castiel tells her that the spell is affecting him deeper and deeper, even though he is doing his best to fight it. Hannah asks if that has anything to do with the events in Superior. He is surprised that Hannah knows about it, and she tells him that alarms have gone off - alarms that hadn't gone off in years. Castiel tells her that the alarms are for the Darkness - that the Darkness has been released. Hannah wants to know where the Darkness is, and then realizes that the Winchesters are the ones who would likely know. She demands that Castiel tell her where she can find them. He doesn't know, and starts to become suspicious about her questioning. He figures out that the whole thing was a setup, with Hannah coming in to "save" him from [[Efram]] and [[Jonah]]. The plan was that Castiel would be grateful enough that he would then tell Hannah all that the angels wanted to know. [[Efram]] and [[Jonah]] return, and when Castiel still refuses to give up the Winchesters' location, they shrug it off and tell him that it doesn't matter, because they'll just hack into his brain with torture.
