Episodes

5.04 The End

In August 2014, Dean, escaping the Croatoan virus zone that is Kansas City, goes looking for Bobby Singer, but finds his house deserted. In a hidden drawer, he finds Bobby's journal, in which he discovers a picture of Bobby, Castiel and a few other unknown people, decked out in survival and hunting gear at a place called Camp Chitaqua. Dean uses the journal to locate the camp shown in the picture, and finds the Impala rotting away when he is knocked unconscious by his future self.

When he wakes up, Future Dean asks him who he is as he already tested him with Silver, Salt, Holy Water, the works, with no reaction. Dean explains that he is his counterpart from 2009 who was sent five years into the future by Zachariah. Future Dean explains that the demons unleashed the Croatoan virus to turn everyone into monsters. Future Dean leaves to go on a mission and leaves Dean chained in the cabin, but he manages to escape and runs into Future Chuck, who is in charge of supplies, and Risa, who attacks him thinking he's Future Dean. Dean also finds Future Castiel, who is organizing an orgy and recognizes that he's from the past. Later, Future Dean returns and shoots a man in cold blood, later explaining that Yeager was infected by a croatoan during their mission. He brandishes the Colt, explaining that their mission was retrieving it by the demons, and using it to kill Lucifer tomorrow.

Future Dean gives everyone the plan to kill Lucifer, who is located in the middle of a quarantined zone infested with croatoans. When Future Castiel and Risa leave, Future Dean says that Sam said yes to Lucifer five years ago in Detroit for unknown reasons. He wants Dean, who will be sent back to the past, to see how bad the fight gets so he can do it differently. He wants Dean to say yes to Michael to keep the world from reaching this point, saying that the angels have given up, despite him trying to get their attention and saying yes. The group leaves the camp to continue on their mission.

It is unknown what happens to Future Chuck and the camp after Future Dean fails to complete the mission, but it is presumed that the survivors are either infected, possessed, or killed and the camp itself becomes abandoned.

Trivia

• In 12.02 Mamma Mia Mary finds in John's Journal the same one of the hunters at Camp Chitaqua from 5.04 The End. It's appearance here is curious given that Camp Chitaqua and the photo existed in a reality constructed by Zachariah. The photo does not exist in the "real world" unless Dean somehow brought it back with him.
