A [[Canon Discrepancies#The Missing Year Between Seasons 5 and 6|year ]] after [[Sam ]] sacrificed himself to stop [[Lucifer]] and the [[Apocalypse]], [[Dean ]] is living with [[Lisa Braeden]] and her son [[Ben Braeden|Ben]]. On the surface , it almost resembles a normal life : he's working construction, teaching Ben about cars, and going to barbecues with the neighbors. The [[Impala]] sits under a tarp in the garage. But we see Dean is still alert for danger , as there's a [[Devil's trap (symbol)|devil's trap]] under the rug near the front door, and [[Holy Waterholy water]] and a gun under his bed.

After work , he has drinks with his neighbor [[Sid]], who complains in good-naturedly nature that Dean never talks about his past. Dean, after some prodding, tells him that for most of his life, he "lived on the road" and "did crap jobs that nobody else wanted." He further elaborates, saying that he worked in pest control with a partner. A cute waitress , [[Brigitta]] , strokes Dean's arm and gives Dean him her number, which he tears up. On Upon leaving the bar, Dean hears a scream, and investigates goes to investigate a nearby building site where he . He sees blood smears and what looks like claw marks on the wall, but he finds nothingbut pigeons.

The next day on the way to work, he sees the claw marks on a telephone pole poles near his houseand then on his garage door. In his garage , he is startled by a neighbourneighbor's [[Yorkie]], but then more ominously finds some sulfuron the ground. He tells Lisa to take Ben to the movies, and starts unpacking weapons from the trunk of the [[Impala]]. From a strong box containing his leather jacket, he takes [[The Journal|John’s John's Journal]] when he is attack attacked by [[Azazel]]. As he passes out [[, Azazel]] is attacked from behind by none other than Sam, who drives through Azazel to thrust a syringe in Dean's chest.

Dean regains consciousness in an old house. On seeing Sam , he assumes he is dead, but Sam assures him he is alive. Sam demonstrates he is human by cutting himself with a [[Silversilver]] blade, and drinking holy water and [[salt water]]. He tells Dean he doesn't know how he got out of [[Lucifer's Cage]] - he just woke up in [[Stull Cemetery]]. Sam says he tried to contact [[Castiel]] in hopes of getting an explanation, but he didn't respond to any of his prayers. To Dean's shock, Sam has been back for nearly a year. Sam explains he wanted Dean to live a normal life, and knew if he reappeared , Dean would leave Lisa and Ben.

Sam reveals he's been hunting with cousins from their mother [[Mary]]'s side of the family and introduces him to [[Gwen Campbell]], [[Christian Campbell]], and [[Mark Campbell]]. The biggest surprise is that their grandfather , [[Samuel Campbell]] , has been resurrected.

They reveal they have been hunting [[Djinndjinn]] who can disguise themselves as normal people, and who are pursuing Sam and Dean. The Djinn djinn seem to want revenge for the Djinn djinn that Sam and Dean killed a couple of years ago in [[2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be]]. They attacked Sam, dosing him with their hallucinatory poison, before they came after Dean. Sam was saved by Samuel, who has an antidote - the same antidote that Sam injected into Dean, breaking him out of his hallucination of [[Azazel]]. [[Johnny Campbell]] has gone to watch over Lisa and Ben, but he is killed by the Djinn. Luckily , Lisa and Ben are safe, and so Dean takes them to [[Bobby]]'s place.

Dean is further distressed to find that [[Bobby ]] also knew Sam has been back for a year , but Bobby argues as Sam had, that he wanted Dean to have a chance at a normal life. Dean tells them how much he suffered trying to deal with his grief, and looking for a way to save Sam. Dean is also distressed at the danger he has now put Lisa and Ben in, and apologizes to Lisa. She assures him the last year has been "the best year of her life" and that he is a great father to Ben.

Dean, Sam and the Campbells return to Dean's home where the Djinn djinn are still lurking. Samuel tells Dean that over the past few months , they have been dealing with a lot of unusual supernatural activity, and argues that hunting is in Dean's blood and he needs to come back to it. Dean suggests they need to leave so the Djinn djinn will attack.

After they leave, Dean asks Sam about his time in [[Hell]], but Sam doesn't want to talk about it. Just then they see the neighbour's neighbors ([[Sid]] and his wife ) being attacked. Dean rushes over despite Sam's protestations, and is attacked himself. As Dean's getting another, more powerful dose of the Djinndjinn's poison, [[Brigitta]] tells him, "That's for our father." He starts hallucinating that Lisa and Ben are attacked by [[Azazel]] in a parallel to what happened on the night [[Mary]] was killed - with Ben being made to drink the demon's blood, and Lisa being burned on the ceiling. Sam takes on the other Djinn with help from Samuel and then rescues Dean. Samuel, with help from the other Campbells, overpowers [[Brigitta]], and they place placing a bag over her and take taking her away.

Afterwards, Sam argues that Dean needs to return to hunting, and that he needs Dean and his compassion, with him. But Dean refuses, saying he needs to keep Lisa and Ben safe. He offers the [[Impala]] for Sam to take, but Sam declines, saying that he already has his car set up the way he likes it, before driving off.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exile_on_Main_St. “Exile On "Exile on Main Street "] – the episode’s title – is also the name of a double LP released by the Rolling Stones in 1972. It is an album that features songs that represent the genres that Sixties rock could be deconstructed back to -like blues, gospel, soul - a return to its roots. It was also recorded over a period of change and personal upheaval for the band although during the time Jagger also married and had a child. This is the third ''Supernatural '' episode named after a Rolling Stones song or album, the other two being [[3.15 Time Is On on My Side]] and [[5.01 Sympathy For The for the Devil]].}}{{TriviaQuote |Text=In the tradition of Supernatural, this season features a new [[Title Card]]

In the tradition of ''Supernatural'', this season features a new [[Title Card]].}}{{TriviaQuote |Text=This was the second episode filmed for the season. the first was [[6.04 Unaired EpisodeWeekend at Bobby's]] which was filmed first to allow Jensen, who was directing it , to prepare. }}{{TriviaQuote |Text=Following the airing of the episode, audience reaction lead to "SPN" becoming a trending Topic on [[Twitter]].

The bar Dean and [[Sid]] are drinking in is called “Jonesy’s Bar & Grill”Grill.”

The construction site Dean enters after leaving the bar has a number of posters on the door saying "DJ SAM,", very possibly foreshadowing Sam's return.
