|outline= [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] locate [[Garth]] after months of him being gone , only to find out he's a [[werewolf]] and part of an apparently human-friendly pack.

|timeline= Six months after [[8.19 Taxi Driver20 Pac-Man Fever]] &<br>Two weeks since [[9.10 Road Trip]]

Having picked up a report on the police alerts, [[Sam ]] visits a hospital and finds [[Dean ]] also has picked up the same alert, and is at the bedside of [[Garth]]. Dean is about to inject Garth with adrenaline to wake him up, but Sam does the job with a slap to Garth's face. Garth says he was on a hunt, but as the boys push for more information, Garth seems to become very ill and runs to the bathroom.

While Garth is indisposed, the brothers briefly fill each other in on what has been happening -- Sam tells Dean about [[Castiel ]] getting rid of [[Gadreel]]'s [[grace ]] that was inside him, and Dean tells Sam about getting the [[Mark of Cain]]. They then realise realize that there is no noise in the bathroom and investigate to find Garth has absconded.

Tracking the owner of the car, Sam and Dean find Garth in an apartment. A woman [[werewolf ]] -- [[Bess Myers]] attacks them, and Garth reveals that not only is she his wife, but he is a werewolf as well! Garth describes how he was bitten by a werewolf while on a hunt six months previously. He was going to kill himself when Bess found him. She took him into her pack, which is led by her father. Bess herself was born a werewolf. Garth tells the Winchesters that the pack only eats animal organs, and doesn't attack humans. Dean in particular is doubtful, but agrees to visit the pack and see for himself.

Dean is greeted by Bess' stepmother, [[Joy Myers]] at a house where he finds Garth playing piano for the pack, which is singing a Christian hymn, led by Garth is frustrated by [[Reverend Jim Myers]] - Bess' father. Over a lunch of raw meat - (although Dean gets cooked steak and pie - ), the [[Reverend Jim Myers]] explains that they are peaceful. Dean notices they all where wear a [[silver ]] bullet around their neck, and Bess says its to remind them of their vulnerability. After lunch Kevin , Garth is upset that Dean is still sceptical skeptical as to the packs pack's benign ways, and is also saddened to hear about [[Kevin]]'s death.

Sam meanwhile visits the local sheriff, Russ[[Sheriff Pat|Pat]], who assures him that the Reverendmembers of the reverend's congregation are pillars of the community. That night he calls Sam and dean Dean to the site of a deer slaying. However, it is a ruse and RussPat, who is a werewolf, attacks them and in the fight is killed. On examining the body, Sam and Dean find him wearing a bullet with "Ragnarok[[Ragnarök]]" inscribed on it. Dean remembers that this is part of the apocalyptic legends of Norse mythology.

Sam goes to Garth's apartment, and find signs of a struggle, and calls Dean to tell him Bess and Garth are missing. Sam is then overpowered and taken captive.

At the pack's church, Dean finds a book about RagnorakRagnarök, but reverend Reverend Jim arrives to explain that it while it was linked to a cult called [[the Maw of Fenris ]] that believed in werewolf domination over humanity, his pack no longer subscribed to these beliefs. When Dean tells him about RussPat' s attack and the inscribed bullet, and that Garth and Bess are missing, the Reverend realises realizes who may be behind it.

Sam wakes up in a barn Garth and Bess are held by Joy Myers, [[Russ ]], and Jobah[[Joba]]. Joy reveals that they are part of the The the Maw of Fenris, a cult dedicated to bringing about RagnarokRagnarök. Joy plans to murder Garth and Bess and frame Sam and Dean to turn the pack against humanity. Garth unsuccessfully pleads for Bess' life and struggles against his restraints to no avail. However, at the last minute, Dean breaks in, having killed after killing Russ and kills Jobah Joba and Joy.

Afterwards, Garth offers to return with Sam and Dean and use his werewolf powers to aid in hunting, as he feels responsible for Kevin's death. Dean tells Garth to remain with the people he now considers family. Dean then invites a surprised Garth to give him a hug which he happily does.
