  Episode Summary  
During a fight with a demon, Dean is electrocuted, causing serious, and potentially deadly, damage to his heart. Sam tries to find a way to save Dean, and comes across a preacher who claims he can cure the incurable. But the brothers soon discover that the preacher's miracles are happening due to help from the Grim Reaper, who trades one life for another, "less worthy" life.

  Analysis  
Grim Reaper

In various religions on Earth, the Grim Reaper is seen as the Angel of Death that carries the souls of the recently departed into their afterlife.

In literature, the Grim Reaper is often shown wearing a dark cloak and carrying a scythe. It become a figure of death in several stories, movies, and television shows and its presence often means that a character will die, similar to this episode. However, traditionally the Grim Reaper only carries away the recently deceased souls, not take their life from them as seen in this episode.
