Synopsis
Directly following 7.09 How to Win Friends And Influence Monsters, Dean and Sam rush Bobby, who's been shot in the head by Dick Roman, to the Hammonton Regional Hospital Trauma Center. As Dean drives, we see that although Bobby's body is unresponsive, his mind is busy.
In Bobby's subconscious, Bobby, Dean, and Sam are walking through the Wharton State Forest. They come across the body of Ranger Phil in a tree, and Bobby gets a weird feeling and realizes that something bad has happened. Blood drips from his forehead, but when he touches his head, he doesn't find a wound. They leave and head back to the abandoned house where they're squatting, and Dean and Sam ask him what's going on. Bobby tells them that he was shot in the head, but Dean and Sam insist that nothing like that happened. He ignores them because he knows that what he's seeing now is just in his subconscious mind, but there's something he has to remember to tell the real Dean and Sam when he wakes up. He finds a pad and marker and writes down a number, 454895, then tears off the paper and puts it in his jacket pocket.
When Bobby looks up, he's suddenly in his bedroom, reliving a moment with his dead wife, Karen Singer. He hands her a glass of wine and she takes his hand, determined to talk to him about something serious. Bobby recognizes the scene, but when he hears a storm coming in, he looks out the window. He sees a young man running towards the house from behind a distant wood shed. When he turns back to Karen, he tells her that he has to go.
The moment he walks through the bedroom door, he's standing in the rain outside a church with Rufus Turner. They're dressed like pest control workers and are on a ghost hunt. Bobby tries to tell Rufus that he's dying, but Rufus doesn't listen—his EMF reader lights up and he goes inside the church. Bobby looks back at the street and sees the same young man running by. Rufus calls for him to get inside, and suddenly the young man is in front of him, grabbing him by the arm. He tells Bobby that God will punish him, and Bobby looks down to see a glass of milk shattering on a black-and-red-checked tile floor. Disturbed, Bobby goes into the church, but the building starts to shake, people vanish, and the lights go out.
