Casually exiting his car with a [[grenade launcher]], he fires it at the Secret Service's SUV, blowing it up and knocking the agents unconscious. He tells Castiel to wipe their memories as he kicks [[Rick Sanchez]], knocking him unconscious. He asks the Winchesters who is after them, noting the government plates on the cars. When Dean demands to know who the hell he is, Mr. Ketch introduces himself as "Arthur Ketch, British Men of Letters."
That night, Mr. Ketch explains that his job is to "strongly encourage" the Winchesters' cooperation with the British Men of Letters. He was sent by [[Mick Davies ]] after Sam called him and hung up, leading Davies to believe that the Winchesters were in trouble. When the boys are leery after dealing with Lady Bevell, Mr. Ketch has Castiel confirm that he's not lying. He shows them his arsenal of weapons, including a [[Hyperbolic Pulse Generator]], a device capable of exorcising a demon from its vessel. Recognizing its potential, Sam asks if it will work on an [[angel]]. Intrigued, Mr. Ketch asks what they have gotten themselves into, only to be told by Dean that if the British Men of Letters want to be trusted, they need to trust the Winchesters with the pulse generator, which Mr. Ketch freely gives up.

He says that working for the British Men of Letters is demanding work and must come first above everything else. He calls the Men of Letters his family. Mary refuses the notion, telling him nothing comes before her family. Ketch asks her if she really believes that, noting she is "softer, weaker" around them.

Ketch wakes up in the hospital and is determined to return to Harlan to help his friends. However, Ardat, enraged at Ketch's failure to kill Belphegor, kills Ketch's nurse and overpowers him when Ketch tries to attack the demon with an [[angel blade]]. Ardat recognizes that Ketch is protecting his friends, the Winchesters, and won't give them up for any price. Rather than try further to make him talk, Ardat brutally rips out his still-beating heartand shows it to Ketch before crushing it, killing him. Ardat then uses Ketch's cell phone to text Dean and trick him into revealing what the Winchesters are up to. Belphegor is later able to kill Ardat, avenging Ketch's death.
After the Hell ghosts are sealed away again, Dean reveals to Sam that the other hunters found Ketch's body and that it was bad. Dean tells Sam that Ketch was most likely killed by a demon and the Winchesters are left to mourn his loss and the loss of [[Rowena]]. Even though they realize that Ketch was killed by a demon, they don't know that the demon was Ardat.
