Cupid reveals himself to be a naked man and goes around giving Dean, Castiel and Sam big hugs, which include lifting them up off the floor. Castiel adds that this is the Cupids way of shaking hands (and that nobody likes it). As they interrogate Cupid, he says that he isn't causing his charges to slaughter each other, he's simply following the orders from Heaven to match them up. When Dean questions that these are "orders", Cupid says that some couples, like [[John]] and [[Mary Winchester]] were just meant to be together and that [[Heaven]] uses Cupids to insure important things, such as Sam and Dean being born. This upsets Dean and he punches the Cupid, causing it to get upset also and leave.
Another person dies and Sam goes to check it out at the coroner's office. On his way out he sees the [[demon]] from before carrying a briefcase, follows him into an alley and attacks him with [[Ruby's knife]]. The Demon gets away, but Sam gets its briefcase. At the motel, Sam and Dean open the briefcase which turns out to be a burst is full of white light. Castiel shows up eating a hamburger and tells them that the light was a human soul, which is most likely intended to use as a food source. He believes that the town is suffering from [[Famine]], one of the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]], who brings out the things people really starve for in themselves: sex, attention, drugs, love... everybody is starving for something. Castiel also believes that he himself has been infected by his vessel's fondness for red meat.
Famine, a very old frail looking man in a wheelchair, arrives at a restaurant in a [[Famine's Car|black Cadillac Escalade]] with [[Lucifer]]'s demons flanking him. As soon as he enters the restaurant, the customers begin giving in to their cravings, many of them fatally. The demon that Sam attacked also arrives toting Sam's room key and gives it to Famine. After telling the demon tells the starving Famine that he has lost the human [[soul]] to Sam, Famine consumes the demon it instead.
Dean wants to go after Famine and cut off his power by cutting the ring off of his finger, much like with [[War]], but Sam says that he cannot go. He thinks he's been infected and is craving [[demon blood]]. Dean handcuffs Sam to a pipe in the bathroom and Cas pushes a dresser in front of the door to keep him inside when they're out hunting Famine. Cas and Dean go to the coroner's office and find that the coroner had been infected and, after 20 years of sobriety, drank himself to death. Cas notices the demons have not yet harvested the coroner's soul and they stake out the place from the [[Impala]], while Castiel eats hamburgers the entire time.
While Dean and Castiel are on stakeout, demons arrive at the motel for Sam. Sam attacks the demons and drinks the blood of one of them, and knocks the other unconscious, intending to drink his next. After following a demon back to [[Biggerson's Restaurant]] where Famine is, Cas goes in, intending to cut off Famine's ring but doesn’t come back out. Dean goes in and finds Cas eating raw meat on the floor and gets captured by demons. Famine wonders why Dean has not been infected by him and touches his chest, concluding that there is nothing inside of him -- that Dean is dead inside.
Sam busts bursts into the restaurant and Famine stops his demons from capturing him. Famine tells Sam that he sent the demons earlier as a snack, that Sam won’t die from drinking too much blood, he’s the exception and that is exactly what Lucifer wanted. Famine offers his demons to Sam, but he refuses and exorcises all of the demons in the room at once; however, Famine consumes them instead of letting them get sent back to Hell. Sam attempts to exorcise Famine, but it doesn’t work, so he decides to exorcise all the demons that Famine has eaten, which seemingly destroys the horseman.
Dean and Castiel lock Sam up in [[Bobby's Panic Room]], and Castiel tells Dean that it isn’t Sam inside, that he just needs to detox. As he goes outside for some air, Dean stops drinking his whiskey and begins to tear up. He prays, asking for Heaven’s help, and begins to cry.
