Julian Duval is meeting with one of the [[djinn]] family, and they discuss how the Lassiters may respond to Sal's death. Violet interrupts, demanding to know if it was Julian who killed Sal. He denies it, and says he doesn't care as long as it brings on a war with the shifters. He reminds her she has no power in the family.
At home, Ennis pulls out a trunk of his father's. He takes out a revolver, and finds, hidden in the box a collection of silver, engraved bullets. He returns to the club behind the restaurant and is confronted by the maitre d'- who is a [[vampire]]. Ennis shoots him to no avail. Dean comes up behind the vampire and decapitates it with a machete. Sam gives Ennis a quick run down on the fact that monsters exists, while Dean discovers stores of blood and flesh behind the bar. The Winchesters theorize that maybe Sal Lassiter was a monster of some sort and plan to head to the morgue to check it out. Ennis insists on accompanying them, but they warn him off getting involved.
Returning home, Ennis starts researching Sal Lassiter online, when Freddie Costa knocks at the front door. He comes in and starts asking the same questions he had the night before. Suspicious he manages to sneak a picture of Freddie, and he notices his eyes flare in the photo, which Sam and Dean told him was a sign of a shapeshifter. He asks if Freddie wants to wait until Ennis' dad [[Nate Ross|Nate]] gets home, and he agrees. This confirms Ennis' suspicions as the real Costa knows that his father is dead.
Ennis throws his jacket at Costa, and manages to pull his gun, with the silver bullets on the shifter, who changes revealing himself to be David Lassiter. He explains that he is trying to find out who killed Sal and avert war with the Duvals. He looks at Ennis' jacket and finds flecks of silver in the tears, ruling out a werewolf being the clawed killer. That night Ennis scopes out the Duval mansion. Sam and Dean are also there, and Ennis overhears them discussing that Julian Duval paid the coroner to look at Sal's body. They speculate that he wouldn't have done that if he himself was the killer. Violet Duval leaves the house, and David appears, telling her he wants to arrange a meeting between Julian and Margo to broker a peace agreement. Violet argues that Julian doesn't want peace. David brings up an old issue - years ago they were going to run away together, but Violet didn't turn up to the rendezvous.
Just then, the clawed killer appears and knocks David down before abducting Violet. His screams bring Ennis and Sam and Dean running but the killer and Violet have gone. The Winchesters, Ennis, and David leave as the Duval bodyguards swarm the grounds.
The next day David visits Violet, and muses over his brother's final words. Violet remembers - without telling David - that the night they were meant to leave together, Sal intervened and told her not to go because the families must keep the bloodlines pure. In the present day, as she is about to leave she turns and kisses David.
At the Lassiter home, his ailing father warns David not to let Margo start a war. David goes and tells Margo he has found out that Sal's killer was not Julian Duval, and that he is now returning home to the family business. Sam and Dean reluctantly leave Ennis after getting a call from [[Castiel]] that he has found [[Metatron]]. They warn Ennis to stay away from the monsters, and advise that they will send some hunters to clean things up. However , Ennis returns to Irv's lair and is examining all the information Irv collected on the monster families. His phone rings and a voice tells him not to get involved. It is the voice of the father he thought was dead.
