Synopsis

Dean is driving in the Impala and thinks he sees Castiel walking on the side of the road. He hits the brakes and backs up, but the angel is gone. He arrives back at Rufus's Cabin after running some errands, and Sam asks him what's wrong. Dean says he's fine, and Sam tells him about a kid named Aaron Webber going missing from a preschool playground just as a surprise tornado hit. There have been other disappearances that corresponded with freak occurrences in the last few weeks, but the victims don't have anything in common. The brothers decide to investigate the possibility that Demons are behind the kidnappings.

Indeed, Crowley is behind the disappearances. He has been torturing Samandiriel, still in his Alfie vessel, with an angel sword, making him give up names. When Samandiriel tells him that there are no more names because "the next generation isn't born yet," Crowley stops torturing him and goes to speak with the people his demons have kidnapped, among them Aaron Webber.

Meanwhile, Kevin Tran and his mother Linda Tran have been hiding out in an abandoned building set up with demon booby traps, salt lines, and hex bags. Linda tells Kevin that she's sick of running and she wants to go on the offensive by building demon-killing bombs. She found a Witch named Delta Mendota on Craigslist and hired her to gather the ingredients they need for the spell Kevin used to kill Crowley's demons. Kevin isn't sure they can trust her, but Linda assures him that Delta doesn't know the actual spell, and she should have everything they need soon.

In Salina, Kansas, Dean and Sam question Aaron Webber's teacher, Mrs. Hagar. She was the last person to see Aaron before the tornado hit. Mrs. Hagar tells them that she doesn't remember anything between taking Aaron to the bathroom and waking up in a park three blocks away. She doesn't react when Sam starts to mumble an exorcism under his breath; however, she says that it smelled like sulfur when she woke up. They're almost certain that demons have Aaron now, but aren't sure why.

That night as Sam sleeps, Dean reads through the missing persons reports on their laptop. When lightening flashes, he looks up at the window and sees Castiel standing outside, looking in, but in an instant he's gone. Dean goes to the window, and Sam wakes up and asks him what's wrong. Dean tells him that he thought he saw Castiel just now and earlier on the road. He feels terrible that he couldn't pull Castiel out of Purgatory and doesn't understand why Castiel didn't try harder to escape. Sam says that Dean likely has survivors guilt and that he needs to get past it. Dean remembers a moment in Purgatory when Castiel had said that if he couldn't get out, he wanted to thank Dean for everything he'd done. Dean had told him that no one would be left behind.

The next morning, Crowley asks the people he's kidnapped if they can read the God tablet. They're confused and some of them ask Crowley if they're on an alien spaceship. When one of the abductees, Dennis Adams, starts to complain about his rights, Crowley kills him with a hand gesture. One of the women nervously tries to read the tablet, but when she starts reciting the Declaration of Independence, Crowley realizes they will be no help.

Back in Salina, Sam has found another person who went missing during a strange weather phenomena: Luigi Ponzi in Rome. He's telling Dean about it when Castiel suddenly appears in their motel room. The brothers are shocked and ask him how he escaped Purgatory. Castiel says he doesn't know - he just appeared on the side of the road in Illinois and has been trying to reach out to them since. He's not at full power, though, and he goes to take a shower. Dean remembers the moment they found the way out of Purgatory and he performed the ritual to take Benny's soul into his arm. He and Castiel had been heading for the portal when Leviathans had appeared to attack them. While Castiel is in the bathroom, Dean tells Sam that he's not sure he believes Castiel's story because he remembers every moment of Purgatory. Considering the shape Castiel was in, someone or something must have pulled him out.

Meanwhile, Delta shows up at Kevin and Linda's hideout with the ingredients for the demon-killing bombs. She then goes to the bathroom and when she gets back, Linda asks her why she only brought enough stuff to build one bomb. Delta tells them they need to pay her up front if they want more, and Linda realizes angrily that she has no other choice. When Kevin goes to get her purse, he notices too late that the salt line in front of one of the windows is broken. Delta made a deal with Crowley rather than help the Trans, and he appears in the room with another demon. Crowley banishes Delta with the snap of his fingers, tells the other demon to kill Linda, and then disappears with Kevin.

Sam tells Dean that there haven't been anymore freak disappearances. He starts to list the names of the seven people who have vanished, and Castiel picks it up halfway through and finishes the recitation. He tells the brothers they are all future Prophets and that only one can exist at a time. For this reason, Chuck must be dead and one of the others will only become the prophet once Kevin dies. Sam and Dean realize that Crowley must be desperate to translate the tablet, and they're still talking when Sam gets a call from Linda.

Quotes

Sam: You look like you've... Well, I was gonna say "You look like you've seen a ghost," but you'd probably be stoked.
Kevin: The next is... "The demonic influence on the collective tapestry of the soul."
Crowley: Blah blah blah. Doesn't anyone ever edit this stuff? So far as a writer, God's a snooze. No fun at parties, I hear.
Linda Tran: I hired a witch.

Kevin Tran: A witch?

Linda Tran: Off of Craigslist. Her name is Delta Mendota and she is a smart cookie. She's scrappy, reliable, and willing to kill.
Castiel: I'm dirty.
Dean: Oh well, Purgatory will do that to you.
Dean: Sammy, I remember every second of leaving that place. I mean I remember the heat, the stink, the pain, the fear. I have that whole ugly mess right here... and he says he has no idea how he got out? I'm just not buying it.

Trivia & References

Metatron is named as an Archangel in this episode - which makes him the fifth alongside Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael that has been named.
Chuck is mentioned by the Winchesters whilst discussing Prophets after many of the "potentials" are being captured world-wide by Crowley. As there can only be one Prophet at any given time, Castiel suggests that Chuck is most likely dead; thus allowing for Kevin Tran becoming one.

Following the Season Five finale, there was much debate amongst fans to whether Chuck was in fact God, and whether he had been so all along.


See here for a discussion of whether Chuck was, indeed, God.
In Purgatory Dean, Benny and Castiel make it to the portal out on a mountaintop. According to Dante's Divine Comedy, Purgatory is a giant mountain with multiple levels with the last rung being a mountaintop leading to a portal to Heaven. However in this case the portal doesn't go to Heaven but back to Earth.
Crowley: It's all very West Side Story, but let's be logical. You look like hell, and I should know.
West Side Story is a musical based on Romeo and Juliet, about two rival street gangs.
This was the fist episode to be directed by Charles Carner who had previously worked with both Jim Michaels and Bob Singer on the 1980s series Midnight Caller.
