|Synopsis=
A piece of the original [[Ark of the Covenant]], referred to as the a [[Hand of God]], is found by the Nazis' archaeological branch, known as the Ahnenerbe. A Woman of Letters, [[Delphine Seydoux]], is sent undercover to retrieve it from the SS Officer [[Befehlsleiter Gumprecht]]. Upon confirming its authenticity, Delphine first stabs Gumprecht in the neck and then the gut, before she steals away with the Hand of God onto the ''[[USS Bluefin]]'' for transport to the U.S. with the intention of bringing it to the [[Men of Letters Bunker]].
When Sam and Dean discover the existence of the Hand of God in 2016, they have "Castiel" ([[Lucifer]]) time travel with Dean to 1943 to retrieve it from the ill-fated USS ''USS Bluefin'' before the sub is lost forever. Due to Delphine placing specialized warding sigils on the sub, Lucifer is not able to get past the hull, allowing only Dean to make it on the sub.
Dean tracks down Delphine on the sub. While talking to her, he says her name, which causes Delphine to put a knife to his neck since no one on the ship knows her name. Dean comes clean to Delphine and the sub's captain about being a member of the Men of Letters from the future, and that the ship will soon be sunk. While the captain dismisses Dean's claims, Delphine continues speaking with him and telling him of the warding she placed on the sub to protect the Hand of God from supernatural interference. Dean tells Delphine they will need to clear the warding to allow him to go back to 2016. He asks Delphine to give him the Hand of God, telling her he is fighting his own Biblical war in the future. Delphine agrees and begins breaking the sigils painted on the ship. However, the final one is carved on her chest, making the spell bound to her heart; the only way to break it is to kill her. Dean refuses, but Delphine insists that it's the only way. As Dean is about to drive the knife into Delphine, the ship is attacked by a German destroyer.

'''Dean:''' Yes! No. Uh, who?

'''Sam:''' Wait a second. I remember, Bobby told me when you needed strength to retrieve us from the past, you used him to power up. You touched his soul, right?

In the scenes before and after this one, Lucifer is in Castiel's navy suit jacket. While in the second he goes to get Dean, he appears to be dressed in a black trench coat, he is still his navy suit jacket, only his lapel had become undone.<br>
