Synopsis
Two priests from St. Anne's Cathedral encounter a woman and a man who are looking for their friend - called Castiel. The next day Castiel, who is staying at the shelter for homeless people run by the church, finds the priests dead in the gardens. Their eyes have been burned out indicating they were killed by angels.
At the Men of Letters Bunker, Dean awakes and finds Sam who has already been out for a run and bought Dean breakfast. Dean tells Sam he is worried - they haven't heard from Cas who is meant to be making his way to the bunker, and dean is still concerned about the effect of the trials on Sam. Sam reassures Dean that he feels fine. Ezekiel then takes over Sam, and tells dean that he has been able to hear other angels talking. He tells Dean that some of the angels are organizing themselves, taking over human vessels, and trying to find Cas. Dean asks if Naomi is in charge, but Ezekiel doesn't know. Dean then tells Ezekiel to relinquish control of Sam. He then insists to Sam that they need to find Cas.
Sam and Dean start researching based on where Cas caklled Dean from, and how far he could've traveled. They read about the death of the woman who the angel Hael had possessed and then the death of the two priests, and decided to start their search there.
The angel leading the hunt for Castiel is Bartholomew and he is using an evangelist, the Reverend Buddy Boyle. In his worldwide broadcasts, Boyle encourages his flock to welcome angels if they appear and "just let them on," making them available as vessels. As Bartholomew praises the reverend's work, one of his devotees appears and offers herself as a vessel. However, she is unable to contain the angel who enters her and she rather messily explodes.
Castiel has moved on from St. Anne's, and is staying at with a group of homeless men who are camped out under a bridge in Layfette, Indiana. Castiel tells another man, Joey, who challenging he is finding his new life and then retires to an abandoned bus to sleep. In there he is confronted by an angel, who has possessed a pharmacist. He attacks and wounds Cas and is surprised to find Cas is human. Castiel fights back and kills him with his angel sword.
The next day Sam and Dean read about the death of the pharmacist, which sounds like the death of an angel-possessed human. Having found that Castiel has left St. Anne's, the boys head to Indiana.
Castiel uses his last cash to get Enochian warding sigils tattooed on his ribs to hide himself from the angels. When Bartholomew learns that the angels can no longer track Castiel, he decides to use rogue reapers to find him, sending one of them - Maurice - to track the Winchesters in the hope they will lead them to Castiel.
Castiel seeks solace in a church. he speaks to a woman who is praying for her ill husband. Castiel bitterly asks her what she would do if he told her no-one heard her prayers, but the woman responds that he doesn't understand what faith means.
Speaking to Joey at the homeless encampment, Sam and Dean learn Castiel headed to Detroit. later, after picking up some food, they realise they are being followed, and they capture the reaper Maurice. They torture Maurice, finding out that Naomi is dead and that the angel Bartholomew is leading the hunt for Cas. However Sam and Dean have no more leads on where Castiel is. Dean asks Ezekiel to use his abilities to track the reaper that is hunting Cas.
Cas is finding life on the streets hard. A young woman called April Kelly gives him some food, and later that night when she sees him out in the rain, she takes him to her apartment. April tends Castiel's wound in response to her kindness he shares feelings of guilt for the actions that have lead to his current situation. April kisses him, and they have sex (twice, apparently it was good for both of them).
The next morning, April reveals herself as a reaper, and ties Castiel to a chair and proceeds to torture him using his angel sword. April demands to know how the angels can reverse Metatron's spell, and return to Heaven. Castiel tries to explain how Metatron tricked him but she refuses to believe him. He tells her that his grace was part of the spell, and warns that without him the spell may not be able to be reversed.
Dean and Sam burst into the apartment, but April stabs Castiel, and uses her power to slam the boys against the wall. Dean pulls the angel blade from Castiel's chest and kills April. Dean rushes back to Cas but finds already dead. Dean pleads with Ezekiel to bring Cas back, and the angel does so, although the effort causes him (and Sam) to collapse.
As both Sam and Castiel come around, Dean tells them that he got April to revive Cas with the promise that if she did so he wouldn't kill her. After she bought Cas back, Dean killed her.
Back at the bunker, Castiel enjoys a shower and food. He shares with the boys how he is learning to be human, and tells them that he thinks they will be good teachers.
Later, Ezekiel takes over Sam's body and tells Dean that the angels will continue to hunt Castiel down and it puts them all at risk. Dean refuses to send Castiel away, but Ezekiel gives him an ultimatum - if Castiel doesn't leave, he will leave Sam's body and go.
Dean goes to Castiel and tells him that he has to leave.
