Synopsis
Lucifer, still without his grace, finds a cupid in Monroe City, Missouri. He drains the cupid’s grace and murders him but the grace does not last long and Lucifer soon starts to feel hungry. While begging for money to buy food he meets a panhandler who tells him of a faith healer named Sister Jo. She appears to use angel-like powers to heal people and Lucifer later finds her healing people at a community centre. Lucifer identifies her as the angel Anael and tries to drain her of her grace. However, a savvy Anael convinces Lucifer to keep her alive and to drain her of her grace slowly so that he has a never ending supply.
Meanwhile, having lost Lucifer after their fight, Castiel finds his way back to the bunker and the Winchesters. He tells them that Asmodeus imprisoned him and Lucifer and had been impersonating Castiel on phone calls with the Winchesters. Lucifer was back in their world thanks to the efforts of alt-Michael. He had convinced alt-Kevin to open a portal between worlds using a spell found in the angel tablet. A key ingredient of the spell was the grace of an archangel and they used Lucifer’s to open the portal. However, a now grace-less Lucifer had managed to use the portal instead of alt-Michael who wants to conquer their world.
The Winchesters and Castiel decide to recreate the spell to save Mary and Jack. They do not have an angel tablet but they do have a demon tablet and they ask the prophet Donatello to see if it contains the same spell. While discussing their plan, Castiel receives a message over angel radio regarding the cupid’s murder. They travel to the scene of the murder and figure out that Lucifer is stealing grace. Sam questions the panhandler who tells him about Sister Jo. The Winchesters and Castiel try to find Sister Jo at the community center but instead they find Ketch. Asmodeus had earlier instructed Ketch to find and to kill Lucifer but Ketch does not tell them that he is working with Asmodeus. Ketch proposes they work together but Castiel angel zaps him instead and they place an unconscious Ketch in Baby’s trunk with the intention of later killing him. In the meantime, they find a video of Sister Jo healing people and Castiel identifies her as Anael. Sam, having placed an alert on Anael’s credit card, is notified that she has booked a motel room at the Diamond Deluxe Motel and they head that way. At the motel room, Lucifer seductively drains Anael’s grace. After he is finished, they discuss what it feels like to be human. While Lucifer hates feeling human weakness, Anael explains that she admires their hope and love. She hated feeling unimportant in Heaven and on earth she feels free. Lucifer has always wanted to fit in, to please his father, and worries that he will be a bad father to Jack. He is uncomfortable experiencing human feelings and plans to find Jack and return to full strength.
The Winchesters and Castiel eventually arrive at the motel and arrange to meet Anael in private. She convinces them that Lucifer has captured her and she needs their help. They return to the motel room to detain Lucifer but before they can do so, Anael force pushes Sam into the wall and Lucifer takes the opportunity to do the same to Dean and Castiel. As Lucifer force chokes the Winchesters and Castiel, Ketch, who has escaped from Baby’s trunk, throws a demon bomb at Lucifer and Anael but Lucifer transports them to safety. Ketch explains that he tried to kill Lucifer because he thinks he is too dangerous to be walking the earth and again offers to work together. To show his sincerity, he tells them he is working with Asmodeus and offers to pass on information to them. Unknown to the Winchesters and Castiel, Asmodeus has his own mole, having shifted into the form of Castiel and tricked Donatello into telling him about the plan to open a portal. Asmodeus places Donatello under a spell to report back to him on the plan.
Later, at the bunker, the Winchesters and Castiel agree they cannot trust Ketch but that they should work with him for now. Although Donatello is finding it hard to decipher the demon tablet, it does contain the spell and Sam is pleased that at least now they have a plan. Meanwhile, Lucifer, promising to create more angels and to give them back their wings, has convinced the angels to install him as Heaven’s leader.

Sister Jo: Should I quake?
Lucifer: I mean, yeah. Most people sort of do. Yeah.Castiel: I like that plan.
Lucifer: Human?
Sister Jo: I feel emotions. Sensations. Things they must feel.

Sister Jo: Lucifer the great and terrible.
Dean: Because you are.
Dumah: Enough games, Lucifer.
Ketch: Oh, yes.
Asmodeus: The only known weapon capable of destroying an archangel -- the archangel blade.
