[[Dean ]] and [[Sam ]] are at a cabin trying to figure out what the leviathans [[Leviathans]] are up to. [[Bobby]], having trouble mustering the energy to appear, shows up and tells them about Dick's plan: making state-of-the-art slaughterhouses to feed on the entire human population. Dick's company has bought a lot of restaurants and is selling food with their additive that dumbs down people. He also wants to cure humans of diseases, such as cancer, to make them the perfect food source. They receive an e-mail message from [[Frank Devereaux’s Devereaux]]’s hard drive informing them that he's dead and someone is trying to hack into it and access information on the brothers new aliases, etc. Thanks to the tracking device installed in the hard drive, they can see that it's inside none other than [[Richard Roman Enterprises]].

Five Hours Earlierhours earlier, an employee of RRE, [[Charlie Bradbury]], arrives at work. She hacks into a Republican Super PAC, transfering transferring funds to an environmental organization. Her boss, [[Pete]], calls her into his office where Dick Roman is waiting for her. He's impressed by her hacking skills and gives her a job to do: hack Frank’s hard drive within the next three days, otherwise she will be fired. She gets to work, hacking into the drive, which then sends an the e-mail to the Winchesters.

Sam and Dean want to break into RRE headquarters, but Bobby points out the Leviathans can easily ID them. He suggests mailing in his flask, but they don't want him to succumb to his rage and turn into a vengeful spirit. They leave for Chicago. The next day, Charlie has cracked the hard drive's protection and reads all of Frank's files on the leviathans. She also finds out that Dick is their leader. She goes to the parking garage to see Pete, who's taking a smoke break. She's just in time to see Dick order one of his minions to kill Pete and assume his identity. Charlie goes home and starts to pack, when Sam and Dean show up. She picks up a fake sword to use against them, but it breaks easily. The brothers use borax to confirm that they’re all not Leviathans, then fill her in on what's going on. They were able to find her due to Frank 's system hacking her webcam. Sam and Dean convince her to help them hack into Dick's emails, but they can only be accessed from within his office. Nevertheless, she agrees to help.

At RRE, later that night, Sam and Dean wait outside in a van, disabling the security cameras to buy Charlie some time - 15 minutes. On one of the cameras, they notice something in her bag - Bobby's flask! Dean calls her, telling her not to lose it. After a little pep talk from Sam, Charlie goes in, using a fake security key to get past the guard at the desk. However, there's another guard keeping an eye on Dick's office. After explaining She explains to Dean that she's a lesbian, and he helps her to flirt her way past the guard and into the office. Once there, she hacks into Dick's computer and begins to download all his files onto a flash drive. The guard heads toward the office, but Bobby closes a door to distract him, giving Charlie enough time to pretend to be coming from the bathroom when the guard enters the office. She grabs the flash drive and leaves.

At her desk, Charlie sends the files to the brothers, learning that Dick has an important package from Iran coming into a private airfield in about 42 minutes. She leaves an email e-mail for Dick, saying the plane is running late, buying Dean and Sam time to go and switch it with a suitcase containing a borax bomb. Charlie then erases any info on the Winchesters, just as Dick shows up, asking if she's found anything on the hard drive. Meanwhile, the Winchesters open the package and discover that it contains a hunk of red clay. They call Charlie, but she doesn't answer.

Back at the office, Bobby is trying to keep his rage under control. [[Victor!Leviathan|Victor]], a leviathan Leviathan sent to pick up the package, arrives with a suitcase (the one left by the brothers) and takes it to Dick in his office. When they open it, they both get sprayed in the face with borax, prompting Dick to order a lockdown lock down of the building, trapping Charlie inside. Bobby uses his powers to crack the front door’s glass, just as Dick and Pete arrive. Bobby tosses Pete, sending him crashing into Charlie and breaking her arm. He then pushes Dick back with a lot of force, but Dick just laughs. Sam and Dean burst in and take Charlie and Bobby out of there. Dick goes back to his office and eats Victor for losing the special package to the Winchesters.

After Charlie’s arm is taken care of at the hospital, the brothers take her to a bus depot, telling her to start a new life. Before leaving she reveals that this won't be the first time she 's done this and that she does not want the brothers to ask for her help again. Dean and Sam then wonder what to do with the flask, since Bobby is showing signs of becoming a [[vengeful spirit]].

'''Bobby:''' I got a glimpse at Dick's big plan, right before he Lincoln'ed d me.

Charlie enters work listening to Katrina and the Waves singing ' "Walking On on Sunshine" through headphones. This recreates an early scene in the movie ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144084/ American Psycho] '' where amoral psychopathic business man Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale, does the same thing. [[Dick Roman]] bears a close resemblance in his demeanor, style and evil insanity to Patrick Bateman.}}

''[[Star Wars]]'', "''Harry Potter"'', "''The Lord of the Rings"'', "''Veronica Mars" '' and "''Wonder Woman" '' are all owned by Warner Brothers Bros. which also produces /distributes ''Supernatural''.

Charlie's desk at Richard Roman Enterprises is decorated with bobblehead Darth Vader, C3P0 C-3P0 and stormtrooper dolls, a Yoda Pez dispenser, and at least one ''Star Wars Comic'' comic, a Wonder Woman figure, a set of ''Lord of the Rings '' Pez dispensers, two Harry Potter and a Dumbledore figurine. In pride of place is her Hermione figure, which Charlie refers to as "H.". She also has a Wonder Woman mug.

::''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_action_committee#Super_PACs Super PACs] are US U.S. political action committees that must do any political spending independently of campaigns. They can raise funds from corporations, unions and individuals without legal limits.''

:''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/ "Wargames" is a 1983 movie] starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy, about a young hacker called David who accidentally starts playing games with a defense computer and nearly causes a nuclear war. As with Charlie's computer as she tries to hack Frank's hard drive, David finds a list of games, starting with games like chess, checkers, backgammon, and poker and then progressing finally to Global Thermonuclear War. In the movies the creator is Stephen Falken who names the computer after his dead son Joshua.''

:''Charlie tries "Joshua" as the password on Frank's hard drive, and it responds with "Greetings Professor Falken.". Just as she thinks she has broken the password, Frank's voice taunts her with "Nice try Zero Charisma." Zero Charisma is a Dungeons and Dragons reference. When all charisma points are lost it means that the character is withdrawn into a catatonic, helpless state. The term "Zero Charm" was also used in the tech-caper movie [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/ 1992 movie "Sneakers"].''

Charlene uses the work "Frak" (or frack) which was coined as a substitute for "fuck" on ''[http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Battlestar Galactica]''. Generally on ''Supernatural'', characters use the term "freakin'."

Dick's line to Charlie "You're kind of completing me right now" could be a reference to a similar line in the 1996 Tom Cruise movie ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116695/ Jerry Maguire]''.

The episode abounds in ''[[Star Wars]] '' references:

* On her desk, Charlie has bobblehead Darth Vader, C3P0 C-3P0 and stormtrooper dolls, a Yoda Pez dispenser, and at least one ''Star Wars Comic'' comic.* Charlie's coworker co-worker Harry says "I love you" and she responds "I know.".

:'''Dean:''''' (to Sam): '' Oh, you go, dumble-dork. <br>

The episode also has ''Lord Of The of the Rings '' references: *:'''Charlie:''' Dick Roman gave me an assignment.

Charlie is seen hacking into a website called theusconservatives.org (which doesn't exist). She transfers funds of $10,000 from there to a group called "Animal Lovers & Lovers of the Planet.". This may be another reference to the ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/ 1992 movie "''Sneakers"''], in which a hacker transfers money to organizations including Greenpeace.<br>On the front page of the "US U.S. Conservatives" website, the Republican Presidential presidential and Vicevice-Presidential presidential candidates are given as [[Johnny MacCarthy]] and [[Gabe Correa]] respectively.

Neither bear any resemblance to the photos on the website.

'''Dick:''' Bruce Springsteen, Eli Manning and our own little Charlie? You know what they are? Irreplaceable. You're more of a Tim Tebow, Joe Biden type. You got no spark.

During the episode a fake ad aired for the corporation "[[SucroCorp]].". Presumably a A subsidiary of [[Richard Roman Enterprises]], the name and images of corn in the ad are a reference to high fructose corn syrup, a commonly used sweetener in the U.S. which is suspected of being an increased source of weight gain and also to contain source of mercury, a neurotoxin.

After Sam gives Charlie the "What would Hermione Do?" pep speech, Charlie uses the phrase "[[Kick it in the ass!]], " which was [[Kim Manners]] catchphrase. The line was originally Kick Asskick ass, but Felicia changed it on suggestion of director [[Johnny MacCarthy]] [https://twitter.com/#!/feliciaday/status/196061585175879680 sourcechanged it on suggestion] of director [[Johnny MacCarthy]].

Dean makes a reference that from now on "just Just stay in the van.". In the [http://chucktv.net/ spy TV series ''Chuck''], Chuck was often instructed to "just Just stay in the van.".

'''Dean:''' Doesn't mean I got to be happy about sending in Veronica Mars.<br>:''Veronica Mars was the lead character, played by Kristen Bell, in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronica_mars TV series of the same name], about a teenager who moonlights as a private detective.Kristen Bell was also the original choice for [[Ruby]] in season 3''
