He appears to be unaffected by Sam's powers and is able to mercilessly beat the brothers, while also appearing to be able to withstand being stabbed in the heart with Ruby's Knife. Sam and Dean escape him, although they suspect he let them go in case they could lead him to Anna.

Alastair appears again to Ruby at a crossroads where she tries to make a deal with him, giving him Anna Milton in exchange for allowing her and the Winchesters to go free. He then makes her a counter offer and captures and tortures her with her knife. He later has a showdown with Castiel and Uriel in which he seems to almost nearly kill Castiel. Anna then reaquires her Grace from Uriel, she and Alastair then both disappear in a flash of bright light.
