Synopsis
Dean comes to consciousness - buried in his own grave. He digs himself out, and emerges into a field, where all the trees have been felled radiating out from his grave. He walks until he finds an empty gas station, where he thirstily drinks some water, and finds out he has then examines himself to find no sign of the hellhound attack, but there is a large handprint burnt into the skin of his left bicep.
Dean grabs some more water, candy and a copy of Busty Asian Beauties. As he prepares to leave, a TV and radio switch on. Thinking it is a demon, Dean sours salt along the window, but he his soon crippled by a piercing sound, that shatters all the glass in the place. As quickly as it started, whatever it was stops.
Dean phones Sam, but gets no answer, and Bobby hangs up on him. He steals a car from the gas station and takes off.
When Bobby finds Dean on his doorstep, he assumes it is a supernatural being and tries to kill him. Dean eventually proves his identity by cutting himself with a silver knife, and they embrace.
Bobby tells Dean that he hasn't seen Sam in months, but Dean tracks Sam using the GPS in his phone and finds him in a town near the place Dean was buried.
When Bobby and Dean arrive at Sam's hotel room, the door is answered by a scantily glad woman. Sam also attacks Dean thinking he must be a monster, but when he realises it's Dean there is a tearful hug. The girl takes her leave of them.
Sam promises Dean he didn't make a deal to get Dean out of Hell, or use his powers. In fact, he is upset that he was unable to save Dean. He tells them he was following some demons who lead him here. Bobby suggest they visit a psychic he knows to see if they can find out how Dean got out of Hell.
Bobby and the boys travel to meet Pamela Barnes, an old friend of Bobby's. She starts a seance to reveal who saved Dean, and contacts someone called Castiel. But when she sees him, her eyes are burned and she is blinded.
Later at a diner, Dean and Sam discuss what to do, when the waitress reveals herself and the other people in the diner to be demons. She threatens Dean, but doesn't take any action, and doesn't seem to know anything about his escape from hell. The boys leave, although Sam wants to exorcise the demons.
later that night Sam sneaks out while Dean is asleep and heads back to the diner. When Dean wakes up he again hears the piercing sound that he heard in the diner. Bobby returns as it stops, and Dean convinces him that they need to summon Castiel. He calls Sam, who lies about being at the diner, and tells him he and Bobby are getting a beer.
Sam goes into the diner and finds one of the people who was possessed dead with their eyes burnt out. The possessed waitress, although also blinded, attacks Sam, and warns him that everyone is going to die. Sam lifts a hand and using only his mind exorcises the demon. As he finished, the woman who was in his hotel room earlier enters. It is Ruby and Sam has been working with her to develop his powers. He tells her he will tell Dean what he has been doing, when the time is right.
Meanwhile, Dean and Bobby perform a summoning ritual and a man appears. He is unharmed when Bobby and Dean shoot him with rocksalt, and when Dean stabs him with Ruby's knife. The man renders Bobby unconscious, and reveals to Dena that he is Castiel, an angel. He tells Dean that he saved him from Hell on God's command, and that God has work for Dean to do.
