The next day, Sam and Dean interview the women and while they don’t don't learn much, their research shows that a couple of the women them have lately had a run of successes and windfalls. Sam suggests that they will have to kill the women as they are using dark magic and have murdered.
As they head back to their motel, the [[Impala ]] is stopped when [[Ruby]] appears on the road. She tells them that a [[demon ]] is in town, controlling the [[witches]], and that the demon will come after Sam, and . She advises him to leave immediately. Dean argues that they shouldn’t listen to her and draws [[The the Colt]], but Sam stops Dean just as he tries to shoot Ruby, who vanishes.
At the motel, Dean questions Sam as to why he is no longer concerned over taking human life.

Back at the motel, [[Ruby]] arrives and doses Dean with a potion that saves him.

She tells him that a new leader has arisen to lead the demons, and that he wants Sam eliminated. Dean arrives, but is also attacked by [[Tammi]]. When [[Ruby]] appears, she pretends she has led the Winchesters to [[Tammi]] in order to gain her favour, but then tries to kill [[Tammi]] with her [[Ruby's knife|knife]]. Tammi overpowers Ruby, and reveals that Ruby was once a witch who sold her soul to a demon – Tammi. Just as Tammi is about to kill Ruby, Elizabeth starts a spell. Although Tammi kills her, she is distracted long enough for Dean to grab [[Ruby's Knife]] and kill her.
Tammi overpowers Ruby and reveals that Ruby was once a witch who sold her soul to a demon – Tammi. Just as Tammi is about to kill Ruby, Elizabeth starts a spell. Although Tammi kills her, she is distracted long enough for Dean to grab Ruby's knife and kill her.
Later that night, Ruby visits Dean and admits that she can’t save him from [[Hell]]. She tells him that all demons were human once, but that Hell strips away their identity. She also tells Dean that the same will happen to him and that there is no way to stop him from going to Hell. She says she wants him to help prepare Sam to fight the demons after Dean is gone. Ruby retains a memory of what it was to be human and wants to fight on the side of humanity.
