Synopsis
Benny is working a late night at a small Cajun diner in Carencro, Louisiana. After his coworker Elizabeth leaves, one of the customers asks him about her. Benny tells him that Elizabeth's like a little sister to him. Another customer asks for a refill on his coffee, and Benny obliges. He doesn't recognize him, but it is Martin Creaser: a hunter that Dean and Sam have worked with before.
Later, Benny closes the diner alone and walks home through the woods. Martin follows, but loses track of him for a moment and then hears a scream. He pulls out a machete and starts running, but trips and falls next to a dead body. It's the other customer from the diner, his neck torn open.
The next day Martin calls Sam, who tells him not to do anything about Benny yet. He then admits to Dean that he's had Martin tracking Benny for the last week, but Martin saw him kill someone and they need to take care of him. Dean is upset that Sam asked Martin, who was only recently released from an insane asylum, to go anywhere near a hunt, but agrees that they should look into it. They drive down to Carencro and meet Martin at his motel room. Martin tells them that Benny, going by the name Roy, has been working at a gumbo shack and seemed clean up until he found the dead customer. When Dean learns that Martin didn't actually see Benny kill anyone, he's reluctant to believe the worst of his friend. Dean leaves in the Impala after Sam gives him a few hours to investigate things on his own.
Martin wants to kill Benny anyways, but Sam denies him. He says that he can't believe Dean would trust a Vampire, and Sam tells him that it's not always easy to see things clearly. He remembers a moment with Amelia at their home in Kermit, Texas. They had just learned that her husband Don was still alive, and Sam had asked her what she planned to say to him. She'd been conflicted, so he had made a plea for their relationship, saying that he didn't want to give up on them. Amelia had seemed to agree before saying that she needed some time alone to clear her head.
Dean's first stop is the diner, where he meets Elizabeth. He orders a piece of pecan pie, but they're out, so he asks her where he can find Roy. She tells him that Roy has been parking his camper in a more remote spot for the last few days. Dean, flirting, gives her his phone number and asks her to call if Roy shows up. On his way to find Benny, he tries to call him, but Benny doesn't answer. Eventually, he comes upon Benny washing his bloody hands and, machete behind his back, asks Benny what's going on. Benny tells him that he's just buried the second victim of a rogue vampire named Desmond. Desmond wants Benny to join his new nest and give him credibility, but Benny has refused, so Desmond is killing messy in an attempt to attract hunters and force Benny's hand. Benny doesn't want to be driven out of his hometown of Carencro and away from his great-granddaughter Elizabeth, so he has to kill Desmond and worry about hunters later. Dean tells him to wait while he convinces Sam and Martin to go after Desmond, instead.
Back at Martin's motel, Dean tries unsuccessfully to convince Sam and Martin that Benny is innocent. Eventually, Martin knocks Dean unconscious with the butt of a knife. Sam isn't happy, but still leaves with the other hunter after handcuffing Dean. Martin remarks that his brother choosing a vampire over him must hurt, and Sam flashes back to the moment he met Don in a town bar. The other man had told him that because he loved Amelia, he would respect whatever decision she made about which of them she wanted to be with, and he expected Sam to do the same.
