Synopsis
The opening scene begins with a drunk falling asleep at the wheel and hitting a walker on the side of the road. The driver takes off and a police officer finds the body the next morning. He calls in the scene but when he returns, the body is gone.
Back at the Men of Letters Bunker, Sam is showing more signs of wear from his trials to close the Gates of Hell. With no word from Kevin, they pursue a case dealing with a zombie. The local police officer swears he's found a zombie. The boys head to another town over to investigate a bear mauling incident which happens to be the zombie John Doe they are looking for.
They find the body and a minute later it disappears, but they are able to catch him and detain him at their motel to run some "tests." Finding out his name is Shane, the boys hold up at a motel. At the motel, a mysterious woman shows up and battles Shane. Sam and Dean discover that Shane has serious fighting skills. The woman disappears before they can figure out who she is. Shane takes a heart attack and dies right after the fight. After some digging, Sam determines that Shane is actually Prometheus, a Greek titan sentenced to die each day by Zeus for giving fire to humans in order to survive.
Later at the motel, a woman, Hayley, and young child, Oliver, show up to find out about the body that was snatched from the morgue. The woman finds Prometheus on the bed and when he returns to life, he remembers her and she introduces him to his son, who happens to have the same affliction as Prometheus, beginning when he turned 7. The boys decide to figure out what to do about the curse from Zeus in order to save the kid from dying each day.
After finding a summoning spell to trap Zeus, they try to negotiate with him to release Prometheus and Oliver from the curse, only offering to lift it once he is released. Sam, Dean and Prometheus reject his terms, however Zeus talks Hayley into breaking the trap to let him out, telling her he will save her son, but Zeus goes back on his word to help. The mysterious woman shows up, who is revealed to be Artemis, a hunter goddess and she helps Zeus trap the boys. Sam reminds her that Prometheus loves her as in the old days and she buys it, helping them out. She shots at Zeus but Zeus pulls Prometheus just in time to stop the arrow. Prometheus shoves the arrow through him into Zeus, thus killing Zeus forever. Artemis and Zeus' body disappear and Sam, Dean, Hayley and Oliver are left with the curse being broken.
Sam and Dean return to the Men of Letters Bunker and Dean prays to Castiel in order to save his brother through the trials since he knows he's really hurting. But Cas does not answer him.

Quotes
Sam: Just a guess, but translating an ancient language with zero help might be more difficult than we think.
Sam: Yeah, 'cause you wanted to shoot zombies.
Sam: Could be looking for a witch, yeah. You know what? He's parked here. He's safe. Maybe we should just get another room until we can figure this out.
Sam: What you got?
Dean: Dragon penis.
Sam: What?
Dean: Ancient Greek hunter by the name of Drakopoolos. Near as I can tell, he was a badass whose name, incidentally, is Greek --
Dean: It's a secret society. This is actually their lair. We're legacies. No big deal.
Dean: Don't know. Don't care.
Sam: It's our God, Artemis -- the goddess of hunters.
Dean: Oh, that's fascinating.
Sam: See, she's who we'd pray to for courage when hunting the Gorgon or the Minotaur. Of course, she's not really worship worthy anymore, uh, having lost a step and all.
Artemis: The hell I have.
