Synopsis

When the boys stop at a diner, Sam goes to buy food, while Dean muses about pie. Suddenly the radio starts cutting out. Dean rushes into the diner to find Sam gone and the staff and customers dead, and sulfur staining the back door.

Dean goes to Bobby for help, but he has no information on demonic activity across the country. Ringing the Roadhouse, an agitated Ash admits to having information he will only reveal in person.

Sam wakes up to find himself in a deserted town. He runs into Andy, whom he’d previously met (2.05 Simon Said) when Andy’s twin brother was using his psychic powers to kill people. Together they find Ava who says she has only been there for half an hour even though it is five months since Sam last saw her (2.10 Hunted). Also in the town are Jake Talley, an American soldier whisked away from duty in Afghanistan, and Lily. Lily reveals that her power is that people’s hearts stop when she touches them, Jake’s that he is super strong.

The group is doubtful when Sam explains that a demon is behind things, until an Acheri Demon in the shape of a young girl attacks Jake. While Sam leads the group to find supplies and weapons, Lily tries to leave the town through the woods, but is killed by the demon. Desperate for Dean’s help, Sam gets Andy to try to send him a vision of where they are.

Dean and Bobby have arrived at Harvelle’s Roadhouse, only to find it burnt out and the occupants, apparently including Ash but not Ellen, dead. Dean is suddenly struck by flashes of images sent by Andy. With Bobby’s help they work out that Sam is in Cold Oak, South Dakota.

Sam has surrounded a room with a salt line, and as they wait for what may come, Sam dozes off. The Yellow-Eyed Demon appears to him, and explains that his plan is for the children with special powers to fight amongst themselves until the strongest is left to lead the Demon’s army. He tells Sam, with his leadership qualities and hunter training, is his favorite. The Demon admits to killing Jessica so Sam would go back to hunting. He then shows Sam a vision of what happened the night Mary died. Sam sees that the Demon fed drops of his blood to baby Sam, and that Mary knew the Demon.

On waking Sam finds that Ava has disappeared, and he and Jake go to look for her. Ava returns to the room, breaks the salt line, and summons an Acheri Demon who kills Andy. When Sam returns and confronts her, she admits that she has spent the last five months developing her powers, and killing the other children who arrived. Just as she summons another demon, Jake kills her.

As Sam and Jake prepare to leave the town, Jake admits he doesn’t trust Sam and attacks him. After a fight, Jake appears to be unconscious. At that moment Dean and Bobby arrive. As Sam walks towards Dean, Jake grabs a knife and stabs him in the back, then runs away. Bobby chases him. Sam collapses into Dean's arms and is unresponsive to Dean's pleas for him not to leave him. As Dean says that it's his job to take care of Sam he sees the truth, that Sam is fatally wounded. Sam spends his final moments cradled in his distraught brother's arms.

Andy: Honestly... My fourth bong load.
Andy: ...I've been practicing, training my brain. Like meditation, right. So now it's not just thoughts I can beam out, but images, too, like anything I want. It's like bam - people they see it. This one guy I know, total dick. I use it on him... gay porn. All hours of the day. (laughs) It's just like, you should've seen the look on his face.

Trivia & References

Filming Location: The set for Cold Oak, South Dakota is the old Bordertown (1989) set in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. The set is provided by Virtue Studio Ranch.
Andy: I just woke up in freakin' Frontier Land.
Frontierland is an section at Disney theme parks with rides and amusements based on the Old West.
Sam: It's a brave new world.
From Miranda's speech in Shakespeare's The Tempest:
"O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beautious mankind is!
O brave new world
That has such people in't!"
Brave New World is also a novel by Aldous Huxley about a Utopian future that is not quite as perfect as it first appears.
Signature: D. Hasselhoff
When Andy asks for something Dean has touched, Sam hands him a receipt signed by Dean under the name of actor David Hasselhoff.
Ava: If not for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.
This may be a reference to a song by Ray Charles, "If It Wasn't For Bad Luck", considering that the words are repeated throughout the said song.
The phrase is also repeated in the chorus of "Born Under a Bad Sign", originally by Albert King but covered famously by the psychedelic band Cream. "Born Under a Bad Sign" is also an episode title.
Azazel: I'm looking for the best and brightest of your generation.
"The Best and the Brightest" is a book by journalist David Halberstam about how and why the United States got involved in Vietnam by looking at the US government officials (mainly during the Kennedy presidency) who made the key decisions. The phrase has taken on somewhat of an ironic tone in the context of this book, because many of the people responsible for getting the United States into Vietnam were considered the best and brightest minds of their generation in government, the private sector, and academia, and their actions had disastrous consequences.
Mary: It's you.

Sam: She knew you!

This is explained in 4.03 In the Beginning.
