|motw= [[Hell Ghosts]]
|outline= Allies, including a long-dead friend, help the Winchesters and [[Castiel]] and the Winchesters with the [[Hell ghosts]]. Meanwhile, [[Chuck]] turns to [[Amara]] for support.
|location= Harlan, Kansas<br>Reno, Nevada
|timeline= Two days after [[15.01 Back and to the Future]]
A woman – Nan – has left the high school where the Harlan townsfolk are taking refuge from what they have been told is a benzene leak to get her daughter's allergy medicine. She meets another resident, Rob, who is just standing in the street and as she nervously starts talking to him, he stabs her repeatedly in the stomach. Rob falls to the ground while an older man's ghost, dressed in 19th century clothes, leaves his body.
At the high school, people are starting to question the benzene leak explanation and word has spread that at least one person has gone missing. [[Hunters]] are on patrol in the town and [[Sam]] alerts then them to keep an eye open for Nan. He then addresses the evacuated people, telling them that they can return to their homes soon, but that everyone needs to stay out of the quarantine zone for safety reasons.
[[Dean]] and [[Belphegor]] are patrolling the quarantine area. Belphegor says tells Dean that the warding won’t last forever and that the [[Hell Ghosts|ghosts]] from [[Hell]] are much more dangerous than usual ghosts. He notes that a ghost that Dean had just shot with rock [[salt]] is [[Francis Tumblety]], better known as Jack the Ripper.
The next morning, the mood becomes more tense in the high school since there is no new information about the leak, and some of the townspeople sneak out to try and find Nan. Meanwhile, in a house in the residential area, some ghosts gather to discuss the situation. The ghost of Francis Tumblety shares the latest information with the crowd and tells everyone that [[God]] Himself opened Hell's doors and that they are being held captive by hunters with the [[demon]] Belphegor's help. He suggests they assemble all the other ghosts hiding in the area and that sooner or later, they will find a way out. Until then, they want to attack every human they can find.
In the high school, [[Castiel]] urges Sam to tell the townsfolk the truth about last night's murder, but Sam's afraid people will panic. Before he can explain his point any further, [[Rowena]] arrives. Sam asks if she remembers the [[Soul Catcher|soul bomb]] she created to attack [[the Darkness]] a few years back and says he wants that crystal to catch those ghosts, since ghosts are nothing else but [[souls]]. Rowena says that it was very hard for her back then to make it and she's unsure if she can do it again. [[Jules]] interrupts to tell Sam that they have a problem. Sam meets up with Dean and Belpheghor in the residential area. They find the two people who sneaked out earlier in search of the missing woman. Sam tells them that they need to go back when suddenly [[ectoplasm]] begins running down their faces. Francis Tumblety appears and demands the release of all the ghosts. When neither Sam nor Dean react, the spirits possessing the humans starts ripping them apart from the inside. SuddenlyOut of the blue, [[Arthur Ketch ]] comes down the road, shooting the two people with [[iron]] flakes so that the ghosts are forced to leave. Ketch says he was nearby and wants to support the Winchesters.
Back in the evacuation camp, Sam and Dean update Ketch on their plan to catch the souls with a magic crystal made by Rowena. Ketch apologizes to Rowena for when she was held prisoner by the [[British Men of Letters]], where Ketch tortured her but also helped her to escape. Rowena say she has not forgotten. Belphegor enters the room and says that it's all quiet; therefore he assumes the ghosts are up to something. He introduces himself to Ketch, who then tells everyone that he got an assignment from a female demon called [[Ardat]] to eliminate Belphegor. Seeing that the demon is not a threat at the moment, Ketch puts this task aside.
In Reno, [[Amara]] is enjoying a massage when [[Chuck]] turns up, casually smiting her masseuse so He can surprise her. He says He wants to check on her, since they are family, but Amara is skeptical about His sudden visit.
Rowena hands a list to Dean with all the ingredients she needs for her crystal. Dean goes back into the high school office, where Castiel tries to talk to Deanhim, telling him Dean he's still sorry for what happened with [[Mary]], but Dean just glares at Castiel and tersely tells him "Don't." Dean admits that he's not only angry about CasCastiel's lack of honesty about Jack, but about the whole situation -- – being played by Chuck his whole life. He thinks that none of their choices and nothing about their existence was truly real. Castiel disagrees, saying one thing is real –- they are.
Dean goes on patrol with Ketch and explains that they are up against Chuck. Since His [[God]]'s existence was more theoretical to the British Men of Letters, Ketch says there is no weapon against Him so far. Dean receives a message that two hunters haven't checked in and are now missing. They look for them in an old factory but are attacked by another ghost until [[Kevin Tran]] saves them. Dean is shocked to find out that he was in Hell, when Chuck told them he'd be going to Heaven. Kevin says reveals that he was actually sent to Hell by Chuck –- which did give him a “bad boy” "bad boy" reputation, making the other damned souls fear and respect him. Kevin says he can feel the warding fading, and if he can then other ghosts can as well.
Chuck keeps talking to an annoyed Amara about teaming up again as she does yoga, and about leaving the planet and creating a new species. Amara realizes that something's wrong with Chuck, that He is scared and not at full power. He's depending on her support to get away, which amuses her.
Rowena works on her crystal while flirting with Ketch, who helps her speed up her progress with some science. They keep flirting until her phone rings. Dean urges her to finish her work quickly.
As Rowena enters the neighborhood to meet with Sam and Dean, she encounters Tumblety, whom she had a brief liaison with centuries ago in England. He wants her to deliver a message to the Winchesters -- – they have Kevin and want to talk. Ketch appears and shots him with his gun. Rowena runs away but Ketch is knocked out by Tumblety from behind. When Rowena arrives, she tells them about Ketch and that she's not sure if her crystal works.
Sam and Dean meet with the ghosts in a house. Tumblety wants them to take down the warding or he will devour Kevin. When they refuse his demand, Tumblety sticks his hand into Kevin and begins absorbing him. Rowena and Castiel soon enter from the other side and she catches a few spirits with her crystal while others escape.

'''Chuck:''' Hey, don't test me. I front the group. You sing backup.<br>
'''Amara:''' Oh, really? Because You're "God"?<br>
'''Chuck:''' Amara, just--<br>
'''Amara:''' Don't. Even on Your best day, You couldn't force my hand. And this is not Your best day. In fact, I don't think You can do much of anything. Ah, a few parlor tricks, perhaps, but You can't leave this world, not without my help. And me? I'm done, Chuck. I've changed. I've adapted. I've become the better me. And You? You are still the same -- petulant, narcissistic. So... I'm leaving You here. Once, long ago, You sealed me away. Now, in a way... I'm doing the same to You. You're trapped, diminished, abandoned. So I guess You got what You've always wanted. You're on Your own.

'''Dean:''' Who?<br>
'''Belphegor:''' Uh, Jack the Ripper.<br>

'''Rowena:''' Francis Tumblety! You're an unfaithful dog.<br>
'''Tumblety:''' Oh? And you're Mary Poppins?
:''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Poppins_(book_series) Mary Poppins] is the protagonist of the book series of the same name, created by Australian-British writer P. L. Travers. Tumblety uses Poppins's name here to invoke the idea of a good person (in this case sarcastically). This reference can be seen as a slight anachronism, as the first Mary Poppins book was not published until 1933, a decade after Tumblety's death in 1903 .''}}{{TriviaQuote |Text=Tumblety tells Rowena that he can be found at "5879 Maple". This may be a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street"] an episode of ''The Twilight Zone''.
