Synopsis
A terrified young man dressed in 1950s style clothing is running for his life as if chased by something. He arrives at Harrington’s ice cream parlour and hammers on the door. A girl answers, he begs her to come with him but she says she can’t. They kiss goodbye and he runs away. He careens in to a gas station, asks the cashier for his phone as the high pitched screeching in his head becomes unbearable. Suddenly he falls to his knees and his head explodes.

Dean is in the kitchen eating an enormous sandwich when Cas walks in. Dean says that he’s heard from Rowena, that she is coping and that Sam says he is good , which neither believe. Sam is in the map room having flashbacks to the deaths of the AU hunters.

Posing as FBI agents Sam and Cas question the cashier Griffin who saw the boy Conrad Martin’s head explode. He tells them that he was probably from Charming Acres. Sam and Cas arrive in what seems like a fantasy of a 1950’s town. They get out of the car and bump in to a quaint couple - Cindy and Justin Smith- who suggest they go to Harrington’s ice cream parlour for information. Justin is bemused by Sam's Cell phone. At Harrington’s they sit at the bar, are served milkshakes and meet the owner, the mayor, Chip Harrington and his daughter Sunny. The mayor tells them where Conrad was staying and Sam and Cas go to speak to the owner of the Dowlings B and B. At the B and B the owner shows Sam and Cas Conrad’s room. Sam leaves with her for coffee and Cas searches the room finding some love letters from Sunny under the mattress. Sam suggests they stay at the b and b because there is pot roast for dinner.
At home Justin is repeating the words "cell phone" and seems to be remembering another life, including a daughter called Rose. He suddenly doesn’t recognize Cindy. He doesn’t know where he is and as a high pitched sound begins in his head he runs screaming from the house. Outside his head explodes.

Back at the guest house Cas is unable to find Sam. Worried Cas arrives at Harrington’s and tries to question Sunny about Sam’s whereabouts. She tells Cas about Mr Smith and Cas drives to the house.

Donatello: The best man I know.
Jack: Sam and Dean are the best men I know.
Donatello: So, ergo, whenever you don't want them to worry, just think 'WWWD' -- 'What Would the Winchesters Do?'
- Fred Rogers was the host of children's television series Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1968–2001). He was known for his kindness and friendliness. Donatello told Sam and Dean about his Mister Rogers mantra in 13.02 The Rising Son.
- The phrase "What Would Jesus Do?" - often shortened to WWJD - was popularized in the 1990s by U.S. Christians, as a reference point for their morality. Since then it has become a meme, where other characters or people are substituted for "Jesus". In 1.17 Hell House, Ed Zeddmore says "Okay, WWBD. What would Buffy do?"
