|location= Muncie, Indiana<br>

A storm forces the boys off the highway, and they check into the The the [[Elysian Fields Hotel]] - an unusually plush four star establishment. As they are opening their room, they see an amorous couple enter the room next to them. Shortly after there is a commotion from the room, but when the boys enter, the couple is gone.

Investigating the hotel kitchen, they find a soup full of eyeballs, and then a number of people locked in the cool room. As they try to free themthe guests, [[Zao Shen]] and [[Baron Samedi]] capture them.

In a conference room, gods from many religions are gathered. [[Baldur]] sets some ground rules for their behavior, and he and [[Kali]] outline how they have gathered everyone together to address the fact that the Judeo-Christain [[Apocalypse ]] as started by [[Lucifer]] threatens the Earth. They have captured Sam and Dean, who they know are [[Vesselvessel]]s, to use as bargaining chips.

[[Gabriel]] turns up at the meeting - the gods know him as [[Loki]] , the [[Trickster]] and don't realize he is an [[Archangelarchangel]].

Gabriel explains to Sam and Dean he is there to save them, and that he once had a relationship with [[Kali]], and doesn't want her or the other gods killed. Gabriel tells Sam and Dean that Kali has bound Sam and Dean to her with a blood spell. He goes to her room, pretending to be romantic in an attempt to retrieve the boys' blood, but she realizes his ruse and draws his blood, binding Gabriel to her.

In front of the other gods, Kali reveals that she has discovered that Gabriel is an Archangelarchangel, and she uses what she thinks is an [[Angel Killing Swordangel blade]] to kill him. Sam and Dean then agree they will help the gods call Lucifer, if the humans they are holding can be freed. While Dean is seeing the people to safety, he finds Gabriel hiding in the Impala - the blade Kali found was a fake. He tells Dean to get their blood from Kali so they can escape. Dean suspects he cares for the other gods, but Gabriel is unable or unwilling to use his blade to kill Lucifer.

While Dean Lucifer arrives and kills all of the gods, and is seeing the people about to safetykill Kali when Gabriel intervenes, telling Lucifer that he finds Gabriel hiding has no legitimate grievance, being merely jealous that humanity replaced him in the Impala - the blade Kali found was a fake[[God]]'s affections. He tells Dean to get their blood from Kali so they can escape. However Dean suspects Gabriel says he cares for the other godsis not on Lucifer's side, or [[Michael]]'s, but that he has come to agree with God: that humanity is better than them. Gabriel is unable or unwilling then tries to use his kill Lucifer with the angel blade to kill , but Luciferturns it on him and kills Gabriel.

Lucifer arrives and kills all of the gods, and is about to kill Kali when Gabriel intervenes. He tells Lucifer that he has no legitimate grievance, he is merely jealous that humanity replaced him in God's affections. Gabriel says he is not on Lucifer's side, or [[Michael]]'s, but that he has come to agree with God: that humanity is better than them. Gabriel then tries to kill Lucifer with the Angel Killing Sword, but Lucifer turns it on him and kills Gabriel. After their escape, Sam and Dean play a ''[[Casa Erotica]] '' DVD Gabriel gave Dean. In it Gabriel tells them they may be able to re-imprison Lucifer, and that the keys to his cage are the rings of the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] of which they already have those of [[War]] and [[Famine]]. A final scene shows the arrival of a very snotty sickly [[Pestilence]], accompanied by a swarm of flies.
