After work he has drinks with his neighbor [[Sid]], who complains good-naturedly 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 him her number, which he tears up. On leaving the bar, Dean hears a scream and goes to investigate a nearby building site. He sees blood smears and what looks like claw marks on the wall, but he finds nothing but pigeons.
The next day on the way to work, he sees the claw marks on telephone poles near his house and then on his garage door. In his garage he is startled by a neighbor's Yorkie, but then more ominously finds some sulfur on 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 Journal]] when he is 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 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.
Dean, Sam and the Campbells return to Dean's home where the 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 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 neighbours [[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 Djinn'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 a bag over her and take 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.
