Synopsis
In Sheridan County, Nebraska, a young couple is camping out in the forest. The young girl is going off to vet school and planning to break it off with her boyfriend and in the meantime the boyfriend is planning to propose to her. On his way back to the camp he gets attacked by some kind of an invisible dog and killed. The dog comes after her and has her trapped on her back, she grabs an axe and injures it badly, giving her a chance to run back to town.
The boys arrive back home from working several cases in a row and Dean is an absolute mess wearing all kinds of monster bits all over him and smelling like dog. They get another case from a supposed app that Sam has made that calculates cases for them to take. Dean is read to run out again but Sam tells him he better wash up because he smells like road kill.
Cas is in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, investigating the killing of angels as well as looking for Kelly Kline. This scene starts out with him reading a tabloid about how a waitress died violently and that the man she worked for claims that it was from aliens. He goes inside the restaurant to meet the owner Herb Nelson who takes him into a private bunker that he has set up in the back. Convinced of an alien invasion. He shows him a video of the attack which he finds very strange for two basic reasons, one the weapons used in the attack which we know our angel blades he thinks are made of star metal aka alien technology and the main point the woman who comes to the pregnant woman’s rescue has yellow eyes.
Meanwhile the boys are investigating the dog attack only to find out that it is a Hellhound that has killed the young man and that the woman thinks that she is next. Sam wants to comfort her by telling her that a bear attacked her boyfriend whereas Dean wants to level with her and find out who made a deal with the demon.
They come into the ladies house to speak with her but little does anyone know the Hellhound is right behind them and comes into the house as well. As soon as they’re gone the Hellhound goes to attack the woman she tries to defend herself but cannot 10 runs into another room only to find herself once again pinned down by the dog. Sam and Dean rush back into the house and chase it out a window by shooting it.
Afterwards the boys sit the woman down and explain to her about Hellhound and that they have experience with them because that’s what they do, kill monsters.
In his investigation as to why angels are being killed Cas finds out that the Angels are also looking for Kelly Klein the one carrying Lucifer son. The other angel suggested that he has to work with them in order to find her and destroy the spawn of Satan. And with this all Cas’ sins will be forgiven and he’ll be welcomed back into heaven. Cas is very unconvinced.
Meanwhile down in hell Crowley has a little Candace must macho with Lucifer who is tied down to a chair with iron chains. He’s basically says that he has plans for him. He is interrupted by two of his demons that say that they are backlogged with crossroads deals that need his attention. While he is in the middle have seeing to business dean phones Crowley to see why hellhound is attacking someone who has not sold their soul. The demon said that it was Ramsey, Lucifer’s Hellhound. Ramsey is completely loyal to Lucifer and only Lucifer.
The two demons that had been working with Crowley about five crossroads deals then sneak into the room where Crowley is keeping Lucifer and set him free. They also reveal that they’ve set Ramsey free to create a distraction to see what Crowley was hiding.
Sam, Dean and Crowley all go to try and find Ramsey the Hellhound. Sam stays with the girl and baby, while Dean and Crowley go into the woods to look for the Hellhound. They banter about how they’ve each changed over the years, including rubbing off on each other.
Sam and the young lady are driving along the highway; she’s having flashbacks and blames herself for what happened to her boyfriend. She asks to pull over and they do she throws up. She explains how she’s guilt written then bringing Marcus camping when she knew full well that the relationship was over because of her leaving state to go to school. As the two are about to take off again Sam sees Ramsey.
Ramsey sees the pair in the car and stomps all over poor Baby. Sam gets out his demon knife and tells the girl to stay in the car. He gets out the car at which time Ramsey promptly attacks and the two scuffle. The Hellhound get Sam on his back and the special demon seeing glasses are knocked off of his face. The girl jumps out of the car and wax the demon in the head to give Sam a chance. Ramsey makes one final charge drink which Sam stabs her and kills her.
The group reconvene at the car and see the hound has been defeated. After all of their efforts, Gwen thanks Crowley and he disappears. Dean sees baby’s condition and is not happy.
In Hell, Crowley approaches Lucifer’s dungeon only to find him on his throne! Lucifer is all smugged down on himself Nice as he’s sitting on Crowley’s own throne but Crowley hasn’t answer to for him. Tells him how he’s always 10 steps ahead of him and how his vessel that he was originally in is now awarded with the spells and ruins from the cage. And now Lucifer’s essence being in this vessel, Crowley owns him.
The two boys arrive home and are talking to Cas on the phone. He tells them Kellie is now under the care of Dagon, a prince of Hell thought only to be a rumour. He is in a female vessel, and bares Azazel’s glowing yellow eyes.
Sam’s phone keeps going of which he had explained away earlier as his case finding app. It goes off another time and finally Sam fesses up that all the cases they’ve been working had been found by the British Men of Letters. Sam quickly apologizes but rationalizes that they get results like the alpha vampire being dead. Dean sees his point and reluctantly agrees. The two make a deal that the first second anything seems off they bail. Sam’s phone goes off again, Dean says to answer so he does. And the scene leaves us here…
