Sam asks Ash to see if there are any records of a fire starting in a nursery in 1983. Ash finds that [[Andy Gallagher]] lost his mother in a fire when he was six months old, in a close parallel to Sam’s own history. [[Jo]] asks to accompany the boys, but Dean, admitting he is scared of [[Ellen]], refuses. |

While Dean keeps an eye on him, Sam follows the man he saw in his vision. Sam manages to stop the events of his vision, only for the man to die after walking in front of a bus. Andy uses his power of mind control to get Dean to give him the [[Impala]], and later to get Dean to speak truthfully about what he and Sam are doing. Sam, however, is immune to Andy’s power and starts interrogating him, when he has another vision of a woman dousing herself in gas before setting herself on fire. While Sam talks to Andy, Dean follows the sound of police sirens and finds a woman has just died in the way Sam foresaw. |
− | + | When they discover that it was Andy’s adoptive mother who died when he was six months old, the boys search the birth records and discover Andy’s birth mother was the woman who just set herself on fire – and that he has a twin brother, [[Ansem Weems / Weber|Ansem]]. They are further surprised when it turns out that Ansem is actually a guy that Andy knows as Weber, who has recently befriended him. | |
− | + | Ansem has tracked Andy down, and has been killing people important to Andy. He is about to kill Andy’s ex-girlfriend Tracy when Sam and Andy confront him. Just as Ansem is about to make Dean shoot himself, Andy kills him. Sam is distressed that the [[Special Children|children]] with abilities like him seem destined to become killers. Back at the Roadhouse, Ellen confronts them to reveal the truth of Sam’s abilities, which they do. They also reveal the disturbing news – there was no house fire when Ansem was six months old, thus breaking the pattern and leaving them unable to track all of the Special Children. | |

Synopsis
After Sam has a vision of a man committing suicide, he and Dean travel to Harvelle's Roadhouse and seek help from Ash. Using a logo Sam remembers from a bus in his vision, Ash helps him determine that the events in his vision took place in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Sam asks Ash to see if there are any records of a fire starting in a nursery in 1983. Ash finds that Andy Gallagher lost his mother in a fire when he was six months old, in a close parallel to Sam’s own history. Jo asks to accompany the boys, but Dean, admitting he is scared of Ellen, refuses.
Once in Guthrie, Sam and Dean track down Andy, but when they search Andy's van they find nothing to suggest he is the killer. While Dean keeps an eye on him, Sam follows the man he saw in his vision. Sam manages to stop the events of his vision, only for the man to die after walking in front of a bus. Andy uses his power of mind control to get Dean to give him the Impala, and later to get Dean to speak truthfully about what he and Sam are doing. Sam, however, is immune to Andy’s power and starts interrogating him, when he has another vision of a woman dousing herself in gas before setting herself on fire. While Sam talks to Andy, Dean follows the sound of police sirens and finds a woman has just died in the way Sam foresaw.
When they discover that it was Andy’s adoptive mother who died when he was six months old, the boys search the birth records and discover Andy’s birth mother was the woman who just set herself on fire – and that he has a twin brother, Ansem. They are further surprised when it turns out that Ansem is actually a guy that Andy knows as Weber, who has recently befriended him.
Ansem has tracked Andy down, and has been killing people important to Andy. He is about to kill Andy’s ex-girlfriend Tracy when Sam and Andy confront him. Just as Ansem is about to make Dean shoot himself, Andy kills him. Sam is distressed that the children with abilities like him seem destined to become killers. Back at the Roadhouse, Ellen confronts them to reveal the truth of Sam’s abilities, which they do. They also reveal the disturbing news – there was no house fire when Ansem was six months old, thus breaking the pattern and leaving them unable to track all of the Special Children.
