Synopsis
Dean and Sam return to Rufus's old cabin in Whitefish, Montana, with a chained up Chet. The Leviathan is still under the influence of the witch Don Stark's spell and is unable to break free of his bonds. Bobby takes the opportunity to test as many means of killing supernatural creatures on him as he can, but none of the basics (eg, holy water) seem to work. Despite the fact that Chet doesn't seem bothered by any of Bobby's attempts at torture, he reveals that Edgar is still alive. He also tells them that he found them using an algorithm to track their known aliases. When the Leviathans were inside Castiel's body, they "got the download" and learned everything that Castiel knew about them, including their aliases. When they ask Chet why he's telling them anything, he laughs and says that not only is he not scared of them, but they also have more important things to worry about, which they'd know if they'd watched the news this morning.

Trivia & References
Slash fiction is also the name of a genre of fanfiction which pairs two characters of the same gender in a sexual relationship – see Slash for more information. There are a couple of references in the episode that compare Sam and Dean to a couple - Honey Bunny and Pumpkin from Pulp Fiction, as well as Mr and Mr(s) Smith. And the final scene was one that Jensen mentioned at Salute to Supernatural Chicago 2011 both he and Jared thought made Sam and Dean sound so much like a married couple, so they rewrote a couple of the lines
Mensa is an organization for people who score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test.
Leviathan!Dean: Anybody moves and I'll execute every last one of you!
Dean: Rhymes with sing songs!
Blue Steel was the name of a signature modeling pose belonging to the really really ridiculously handsome Derek Zoolander in the movie Zoolander. See Blue Steell for numerous references in the show, and by Jensen and Jared, to the look.
Sam: You know that's a line from...
Dean: Swayze movie! Swayze always gets a pass!
This line is a meta dig at the fact that Sam and Dean keep coming back from the dead. As Ben Edlund said at Comic Con 2010 "...these creatures, these poor men, cannot die. The cruel universe that will not let them die...That’s TV. TV will not let people die. "
