Directly following [[7.09 How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters]], [[Dean]] and [[Sam]] rush [[Bobby]], who's been shot in the head by [[Dick Roman]], to the Hammonton Regional Hospital Trauma Center. As Dean drives, we see that although Bobby's body is unresponsive, his mind is busy.
In Bobby's subconscious, Bobby, Dean, and Sam are walking through the Wharton State Forest. They come across the body of Ranger Phil in a tree, and Bobby gets a weird feeling and realizes that something bad has happened. Blood drips from his forehead, but when he touches his head, he doesn't find a wound. They leave and head back to the abandoned house where they're squatting, and Dean and Sam ask him what's going on. Bobby tells them that he was shot in the head, but Dean and Sam insist that nothing like that happened. He ignores them because he knows that what he's seeing now is just in his subconscious mind, but there's something he has to remember to tell the real Dean and Sam when he wakes up, the key to the Leviathans plan.. He finds a pad and marker and writes down a number, 454895, then tears off the paper and puts it in his jacket pocket.
When Bobby looks up, he's suddenly in his bedroom, reliving a moment with his dead wife, [[Karen Singer]]. He hands her a glass of wine and she takes his hand, determined to talk to him about something serious. Bobby recognizes the scene, but when he hears a storm coming in, he looks out the window. He sees a teenager running towards the house from behind a distant wood shed. When he turns back to Karen, he tells her that he has to go.
The moment he walks through the bedroom door, he's standing in the rain outside a church with [[Rufus Turner]]. They're dressed like pest control workers and are on a ghost hunt. Bobby tries to tell Rufus that he's dying, but Rufus doesn't listen—his EMF reader lights up and he goes inside the church. Bobby looks back at the street and sees the same teenager running by. Rufus calls for him to get inside, and suddenly the teenager is in front of him, grabbing him by the arm. He tells Bobby that God will punish him, and Bobby looks down to see a glass of milk shattering on a black-and-red-checked tile floor. Disturbed, Bobby goes into the church, but the building starts to shake, people vanish, and the lights go out.
Once it's dark, a thin man in a suit approaches. He carries a watch on a chain and tells Bobby that his time is up. Bobby immediately recognizes him as a [[reaper]], even though he's never heard of one going inside someone's head before. The reaper tells him that he's in a coma and that it's his time to die. Bobby decides to lead him on a chase before giving up and dying, and the next memory he stumbles into is one of him, Dean, and Sam hanging out at his house. Dean and Sam are arguing about who's better, Jet Li or Chuck Norris, and Dean asks Bobby to get him a beer. When Bobby goes into the kitchen, however, he sees his mother setting the table for dinner. She tells him he's filthy and scolds him, saying "It's like you want him to get mad." He closes the door on her and turns around in time to catch a shotgun from thrown to him by Rufus.
They're in a mausoleum, and Rufus is getting ready to pull out [[Lara Coggins]]' corpse so that Bobby can burn it. Lara killed herself after being left at the altar and is now killing men who break women's hearts. Bobby tries to tell Rufus that a reaper is after him, but Rufus doesn't take him seriously.
Dinner at the Singers' house with a young Bobby - the boy Bobby has been seeing. Young Bobby accidentally spills a glass of milk, and his father becomes enraged at both Bobby and his mom. Bobby explains to Rufus that this was a regular event. Again the ground shakes and thunder is heard. Bobby suggests to Rufus that he has a way to delay the reaper coming for him.
Back in the real world, an administrator approaches Dean about organ using Bobby's organs for donation for Bobby. Dean explodes in anger and punches a wall, then walks outside to cool off. In front of the hospital is a nice car with tinted windows, and Dean approaches it, certain that [[Dick Roman]] is inside. Indeed, Dick rolls down the window and, due to his fame, a crowd gathers and starts taking photos. Dean challenges him Roman to kill him, taunting him that he won't do it in front of a crowd. Dick is nonplussed. When Dean goes back in into the hospital, he tells Sam that Dick Roman is outside, but that he's not making a move. Sam tells him that Bobby seems to have stabilized, but that they should prepare for him to die. Dean angrily walks away and leaves Sam alone, rubbing at the spot on his palm that he uses to help distinguish reality from his hallucinations.
In Bobby's subconscious he is inside his living room. He tells Rufus he knows how to bind a reaper; however, things are subtly disappearing - a Bible has blank pages and the faces on photos are fading. As Bobby prepares the spell, he sees a younger version of himself in another room, on the phone to John, arguing over Dean. John reminds Bobby that he is not Dean's father. When the Reaper is bound, he reveals that the trap won't last long. The damage the bullet did to Bobby's brain is destroying it and that he will die. His only choice is whether to stay on Earth as a ghost, or to cross over with the reaper. Rufus urges him to go, but Bobby insist insists he has to stay - for his boys.
Young Bobby appears again, and Bobby follows him back to the scene of the family dinner. Ed Singer is in a rage, hitting his wife, and he screams at Bobby that it's his fault. Suddenly young Bobby appears with a rifle, telling his father to leave his mother alone. When he mocks Bobby and refuses, Bobby shoots him in the head, killing him.

The numbers relating to the Leviathan plot which Bobby writes down on the piece of paper are 454895. We only see him write 45489 – one digit less – on Sam's hand.The latitude 45.4 and longitude -89.5 are the coordinates for Beaver Lake, in Lincoln County in Wisconsin, which could be one of the spots marked on Roman's map.[http://www.lakeplace.com/lakefinder/wi/lincoln/beaver/1506400 source]. For more speculation see [[Bobby's Numbers]].
