Synopsis
In Texhoma, Texas, a young woman, Angela Sullivan, is helping her drunk friend, Sally, out of a bar. When Sally goes off to be sick, Angela gets into her car to wait and is attacked. When Sally turns around, her friend and car are gone. Angela wakes up tied to a chair, with an IV dripping her blood into the window of a metal door, seeing the creature inside, she screams.
Dean is in his room, drinking beer, desperately looking for a case. He stumbles onto the story of a woman who says her friend was “raptured.” Dean goes to find Sam, and finds him and Eileen cooking breakfast while hungover. Sam follows Dean out making sure he’s okay. Dean explains he needs to get out, and that he doesn't want to spoil Sam and Eileen's fun. Sam just wants to make sure Dean is good and will call if he needs him. Dean assures him he will and teases Sam to leave a sock on the door before he leaves.
Dean arrives in Texhoma and talks to the sheriff, who believes Angela just left to go to Los Angeles. But he does say her friend, Sally Anderson, frequents the local bar, Swayze’s.
Later that night, Dean goes to Swayze’s Bar. The waitress, Lorna, who flirts with Dean and takes his phone per house rules, and tells Sally should be by later. That’s when Dean sees who is singing, an old hunting buddy, Lee Webb. After Lee's song is done, they enthusiastically greet each other.
Sam and Eileen are researching when Eileen suggestively offers they do something else. As Sam starts to respond, Castiel returns to the Bunker with an idea how to find Chuck by probing Sam’s God wound.
Meanwhile, Dean and Lee are reminiscing about hunting and John. Finding out that John died 13 years prior, Lee offers condolences to Dean. When Dean asks if Lee ever regrets quitting, Lee says no telling Dean their last case together involving cultists in Arizona was a wake-up call to him to get out of the life.
In the Bunker infirmary, Castiel’s idea is to probe the wound. He tells Sam it is dangerous, but Sam agrees. As Castiel is probing Sam, something goes wrong and Sam is slammed against the wall and knocked out. With Sam unconscious, Castiel calls Dean to no avail and leaves a message. Dean’s phone rings in the basket of confiscated cell phones, while Dean is bragging about his night with twins, and Lee informs him, they were triplets. Castiel then calls Sergei, the shaman, reminding him that Sergei owes him for what happened with Jack. Sergei replies he has promised to take his niece shopping this weekend. Castiel threatens to track Sergei down and burn him alive, but Sergei remains unmoved.

From the stage, Dean sees two guys harassing a woman, Sally Anderson. He and Lee intervene saying they should leave, and when the men refuse, Dean and Lee physically throw them out through doors and windows.
Sergei arrives at the Bunker and is in awe to be in the home of the fabled Men of Letters. Castiel cuts Sergei's gawking short and takes him to examine Sam. After running a crystal over Sam's body, which began to glow over his bullet wound, Sergei drops the bombshell. Sam is dying.
Sally thinks her friend was lifted to Heaven. But Lee tells her a car can't be raptured and thinks she just left. Dean counters that friends don’t just leave. Dean asks where one would dump a car. Lee tells him the lake, but Lorna says salvage yard, Merle’s. Dean sends Lee to the lake, while he goes to the salvage yard.
Sergei reveals that Sam's wound goes all the way down to his soul, as well as being tethered to someone or thing out in the world, and that the probing caused Sam’s soul to stretch to the breaking point. When Eileen asks him if he can fix Sam, Sergei agrees to do so.
Meanwhile, Sergei’s “cure” is actually killing Sam faster, causing him to see visions of Chuck’s memories. Sergei tells Castiel that he has demands. Eileen slams Sergei against the Bunker wall, threatening him. But Sergei coolly demands an object that the Men of Letters procured -- the Key to Death. He tells them that it opens the door to Death's Library. Castiel says no, then shows a photo Sergei’s niece, Anna, on his phone. Saying his friend Bobby is watching her, and threatens that something will happen to Anna if Sam dies. Sergei relents and heals Sam. As he leaves, Sergei is impressed with Castiel's new attitude, remarking it is very... Russian.
At Merle’s Salvage Yard Dean finds Angela’s car and her corpse in the trunk. When a gun clicks behind him and he’s knocked out by Lee. Dean wakes up tied up, with a similar IV tube in his arm. Lee enters the basement and explains to Dean that he found the the monster, a marid, on his last hunt after Arizona. He tells Dean that it grants wealth and health, so long as it is kept fed. Lee tells Dean that he feels he deserves it after all he’s done. Dean disagrees. When Lee responds that no one cares about good and evil, Dean replies that he does. Lee then starts the drip, saying the death isn’t bad and that between the two of them, Lee chooses himself.
When Lee leaves, Dean sees tools, and tips the chair over, causing it to break. He removes the IV and struggles to untie himself as the monster breaks through the door. Upstairs in the bar, Lee hears a commotion and pulls his gun as the basement door opens. In rolls the severed head of the marid. Dean apologizes for cutting it's head off before he dives behind the bar and grabs a shotgun. They exchange fire until they run out. Dean emerges from behind the bar, he tells Lee he doesn't know who he is anymore. Lee claims he’s just a Dean that realized the world is broken, Dean fervently replies, “Then you fix it. You fight for it.” Lee suggests Dean just walk away, but Dean can’t. He kills monsters. They fight, and eventually Dean wins by stabbing Lee in the chest with a broken pool cue. As Lee prepares to die, he asks why Dean cares so much. Dean replies, “Someone has to.” Lee is glad it’s him. Then signals Dean to pull the cue, killing Lee.
After seeing Castiel's message, Dean rushes into the Bunker, where he sees Castiel and immediately asks about Sam. Castiel curtly replies Sam is fine. Then walks toward the infirmary. There, Sam informs them that he saw Chuck’s memories, and Chuck is weak. He declares he thinks they can beat God.

Quotes
Sam: I think. It's funny. After everything with Chuck, uh, Dean was so... down I thought he wouldn't get back up again, but now, him leaving? That's progress. Right?
Dean: He died. Yeah, 13 years ago. But hey, he was doing what he loved the most -- kicking ass and taking names.
Dean: Oh, man, but I'll tell you what. He always liked you. He always liked you. In fact, he said that he's never seen anybody better in a fight, and that is high praise coming from my old man.
Sergei: My, how your negotiation skills have improved.
Dean: Listen to yourself. "We're owed." "We deserve." Come on, man. You're not God. Hell, God's not even God.
Dean: No, I don't. But I kill monsters.
Dean: Because someone has to.
Dean: You were in Chuck's head?

Lee:...and America too.
- The lines "She's a good girl, loves her mamma/Loves Jesus and America, too" are from the song "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
- This may be a reference to Misha Collins. His mother was obsessed with Russia, and named him Dmitri after a boyfriend. His stage name Misha is also a nickname his mother gave him from her Russian boyfriend.

Minutiae
- Mind your own business.
- Keep your pistol in your holster.
- No spittin' inside the bar.
- Take fights outside.
- Buy a round when it's your turn.
- Mind your manners around the ladies.
- No cell phones. No photos.
- The bartender is always right.
- No tabs. Square up before you leave.
- Know your limit, and don't make a fool of yourself.
- Dean tells Lee Webb about his experiences with Ghost sickness in 4.06 Yellow Fever.
- A reference to Jensen Ackles lip-syncing "Eye of the Tiger" in an outtake for 4.06 Yellow Fever, which means it's now canon that dean lip-synced to the song!
- Sam when he shot Chuck with the Equalizer.
- Amara telling Chuck He was not at full strength.
- Amara touching Chuck's wound and Sam feeling the pain.
- Amara telling Chuck "You can't leave this world without my help."
- Chuck telling Becky "I used to be able see Sam and Dean, but now it's all gone." This occurs over a shot of him writing what appears to be a variation on Chuck's narration from 5.22 Swan Song: "275 horses, all waiting to get Dean.. Detroit.. The only problem - he had nowhere to go. He didn’t... really had, for that matter, a home to go to. Worse, there was... and nobody left to hunt, or fight, or kill, that could do a damn... difference. It wasn’t an entirely new position for Dean to be in. In between... Sam and Dean would sometimes get a day, sometimes a week if they were lucky. They’d pass the time lining their pockets. Sam used to on… honest work but now he hustles pool, like his brother. They could go anywhere, do anything. They drove a thousand miles for an Ozzy show, two days for a Jayhawks game. And when it was... they’d park her in the middle of nowhere. Sit on the hood and watch the stars - for hours, without saying a word. It never occurred to them... that sure they never had four walls...but there were never in fact..." and a shot of Stull Cemetery.
- A reference to Dean singing karaoke during his misadventures with Crowley in Beulah, North Dakota. In 10.01 Black, Dean got jeers and food thrown at him instead of applause, though his choice of songs warranted that reaction. He even wears the same clothing from that episode.
