Episode Recap
 
Similar to the last episode, this episode opens with a recap montage set to Triumph’s "Fight the Good Fight."

The episode picks up where the last left off. Meg picks up John’s cell phone and tells Dean that they’ll never see their father again. Dean angrily hangs up the phone and Sam asks him what Meg said. Dean grabs the gun and heads out of the motel room, telling Sam that the demon is probably coming after them. Sam tells him that they still have three bullets left, but Dean tells Sam that they don’t know what else is out there.

In the Impala, Sam and Dean discuss what to do. Dean theorizes that Meg is probably keeping their father alive so they can trade him for the gun. Sam, however, thinks that Meg has probably killed their father since she didn’t mention any trade on the phone. Dean yells at Sam for thinking like that, and Sam says he just wants to "do the job.” "Screw the job, Sam!", Dean yells, but Sam insists that their father would want them to keep going. Dean refuses to believe that his father is dead and insists that they head to Lincoln to figure out which demons took John, and Sam scoffs at the idea that Meg left a trail. Dean sees that Sam is probably right and says that they’re going to need help.

Early that morning, the Impala pulls up to a salvage yard. Inside, Bobby brings two flasks over to Dean. Dean asks if they have holy water in them, and Bobby tells him that one has holy water and the other holds whiskey. They sit and talk, Dean remembering how the last time they saw Bobby he threatened to “blast them full of buckshot”. Behind them, Sam is reading an old book. Bobby walks over to him and Sam, pointing to a circular diagram asks Bobby if the protective circles really work. Bobby confirms that they do, and tells him how if you get a demon inside, they’re stuck. Bobby tells the brothers that they must be in some serious crap, mainly because he usually only hears of three demonic possessions a year, but this year alone he’s heard of twenty-seven. Due to this many, Bobby thinks that there must be some kind of storm coming. A dog starts barking outside. Bobby turns his head towards the sound and heads over to the window. Outside, a dog’s chain is hanging without the dog attached. Bobby tells the boys that something’s wrong just as Meg bursts through the door.

Meg tells them to “cut the crap”. Dean hurries over to her with the flask of holy water, but Meg waves her arm and Dean is flung against a wall. Meg demands the gun. Sam lies that they buried it, but Meg doesn’t believe him. She asks if they thought she wouldn’t find them, and Dean tells her "Actually, we were counting on it." He glances at the ceiling, and Meg follows his eyes to see the protective circles on the walls.

Meg sits tied to a chair inside the protective circle. Bobby informs them that he’s salted the doors and windows to keep all other demons out. Dean begins to question Meg about their father’s whereabouts, “Where's our father, bitch?", and they get into a yelling match. Meg tells him that John died screaming, and Dean slaps her. Bobby stands up to tell the boys that Meg is just a harmless girl that has been possessed. Upon hearing this, they boys realize that they could perform an exorcism to save Meg. Sam begins to speak in Latin and Meg begins to groan. Dean tells Meg that she’s going to burn in hell unless she tells them where John is and Sam continues speaking Latin phrases. As Sam speaks, a wind picks up inside of the house. Meg tells Dean that "You just won't take dead for an answer, will you?", and Dean screams at Meg that their father cannot be dead. Sam continues reading and Meg’s chair begins flopping around the circle. Meg starts to mutter that John “will be dead”, and Dean tells Sam to stop reading long enough for Meg to admit that John really isn’t dead. She tells them that John is inside a building in Jefferson City, but doesn’t know who is holding him. Dean then instructs Sam to finish with the exorcism; Meg tells Dean that he promised they’d stop if she told them where John was, but Dean informs her that he lied. Sam keeps on with the exorcism, but Bobby approaches the boys to tell them that the exorcism might kill her due to the seven-story fall she took. Dean argues that she needs to be put out of her misery. Sam hesitates, but reluctantly continues on.

Meg’s head jumps forward and backward as her eyes turn black. Sam finishes and a puff of smoke comes out of Meg’s mouth. She wheezes and blood begins to drip from her mouth. Dean tells Bobby to call 911 and to get some blankets and some water. They lift her out of the chair and Meg whispers "A year. It's been a year. I've been awake for some of it. I couldn't move my own body. The things I did, it's a nightmare." Meg tells Dean that John is still alive and how the demons want them to come and search for John. Bobby brings the water, and after a sip Meg tells them that the demons are keeping John by the river. Meg gasps for breath and utters the word “sunrise” before passing away.

Outside, Bobby tells Sam and Dean to leave and how he’ll handle the cops when they come for Meg’s body. Bobby hands Sam a book and wishes them well. The Impala drives off.

The Impala parks at lot where the brothers get out and look around. Dean loads their weapons and Sam looks through the book that Bobby gave him. He grabs a white grease pencil and draws a symbol on the trunk of the car. Dean freaks out when he sees this, but Sam explains that the symbol is a Devil's Trap, which will stop demons from getting into the trunk, and they’ll leave the gun in the trunk where it’s safe. The brothers argue about whether or not they should use the gun and whether or not their father would be angry if they wasted a bullet in order to save him. After Sam argues that the gun is their only leverage against the demons, Dean reluctantly agrees to keep the gun in the trunk.

The brothers walk through a wilderness area and Dean pulls Sam over to a group of evergreens to tell him that he knows what Meg meant by ‘sunrise’. They look through the trees towards an apartment complex named Sunrise Apartment Building. Dean informs Sam that the people in the building are being used as human shields and the demon is probably hiding among them. Dean concocts a plan to pull the fire alarms to get all the humans out, and Sam reminds them that the city will respond in exactly seven minutes.

Sam slips into the apartment building and pulls the alarm. Outside, Dean goes up to a fireman and asks if the building is on fire, then feeds the man a story about having a Yorkie upstairs. The fireman ushers Dean aside, which distracts the man enough for Sam to sneak into the fire truck.

In the apartment building, Sam and Dean walk down the hallway in firemen suits. Dean, using his EMF detector, searches for the demons, and gets a reading on the detector outside one of the rooms. Inside the room, a lady with black eyes looks up when she hears knocking on the door. Through the key hole she sees Sam and Dean, unrecognizable in their firemen suits, who tell her that she has to get out of the building. The lady unlatches the door and Dean kicks in the door, which causes the woman to shoot halfway across the room. Sam and Dean spray the demons with holy water from their packs and the demons scream. They lock the demons in a room and Dean salts the doorway, insuring that they won’t be able to get out. The boys take off their firemen suits and rush over to their father. They check his pulse and finds that he’s still alive. Dean starts to cut the ropes holding John down, but Sam stops him, thinking that he might be possessed. Sam takes out his holy water and drops a little on John’s face. John comes to and wonders why Sam is splashing water on him. He tells his sons that the demons have been drugging him and then asks the boys about the gun. Dean cuts his father loose.

Outside, a group of residents wait to get into the building. One man starts choking on a bug that he accidentally swallowed and his eyes turn black. He walks towards a fireman and the fireman appears to have swallowed a bug as well. The man and the fireman walk into the building. Upstairs, Sam and Dean help their father out of the room as the two demons burst through the door. They slam the door shut, but the fireman demon starts cutting through the door with an axe.

Sam pours salt across the door and windows and Dean prepares to climb down the fire escape. The three escape down the ladder, and Dean has John lean on him. Suddenly, Sam is tackled by the assistant demon. Dean helps John over to the side of building, where he leaves John to lean, and runs over and kicks the demon in the face. The demon throws Dean through the air and onto a windshield of a car. He goes back over to Sam and continues beating him up until he is shocked. The camera pans over to show the barrel of the gun they locked in the trunk.

Dean picks up Sam and rushes over to help John as well. He helps them over to the Impala.

At a cabin, Sam pours salt along the door and window frames. Sam worries out loud that they were followed by one of the demons, but Dean assures them that they won’t be able to get them here. Sam thanks Dean for saving his life, and they talk about having to kill innocent humans that happened to be possessed. John comes over to them and tells Dean that he did the right thing by using the gun. As Dean thanks him, the lights flicker and a wind starts up. John rushes over to the window and tells the boys that the demon’s found them. Dean tells his father about how Sam tried to shoot the demon, but it vanished when he did so. John assures his sons that he won’t miss, and demands that Dean give him the gun. Dean begins to think aloud that "He'd be furious. For wasting the bullet, he'd tear me a new one," and points the gun at his father and tells him that he isn’t his father. Sam comes back into the room and asks what’s going on. Dean tells him that this isn’t their father, it’s a demon, and the demon says that if he’s so sure, he should shoot him. Demon John’s eyes turn crazy and he propels the brothers against the wall, causing Dean to drop the gun.

Demon John picks up the gun and Sam growls that he’s going to kill the demon. The demon tells the boys that their father is trapped inside of him, so when they kill him, their father will die too. Sam asks the demon why he does what he does. The demon, tells Dean that Sam was about to propose to Jessica before she died. Dean tells Demon John to quit talking and get things over with. The demon tells Dean that he needs his family more than his family needs him and how Sam is clearly John’s favorite son. Dean snaps back that Demon John is probably really proud of his family too, except that he already killed them. The demon begins to make Dean bleed from the inside out. Sam calls out to his brother, and struggles to get loose to help him, but has no luck. Dean tries to reach his father by pleading with the demon not to kill him, but the blood continues to pour out of his body. Sam stares over at the gun as Dean continues to plead. The demon’s eyes begin to transform back to normal eyes just as Dean slumps over. John starts crying to himself to “stop it, stop it” and Sam falls down from the wall. He rushes over to the gun and points it at John, who switches back to Demon John. The demon tells Sam that if he shoots him, he’ll kill his father too. Sam says that he knows and shoots the demon in the leg. Dean falls from the wall, and Sam rushes to his side. John tells Sam that the demon is still inside his body and yells at him to shoot him again, this time in the heart. Sam cocks the gun, but Dean yells not to do it. Sam lowers the gun, hesitates, and before he can shoot, a puff of black smoke pours out of John’s mouth.

Sam drives the Impala down the road with John in the front seat and Dean lying in the back. Sam tells them that they’re ten minutes from the hospital. John scolds Sam for not killing him and Sam tells him that killing the demon doesn’t come before everything. He reminds his dad that they still have the gun and now they can start over. As he talks, a semi-truck slams into the Impala. Glass shatters and metal tears and the car and semi slide across the road. The scene fades to black, then pans over to the driver, who has black demon eyes, of the semi as he pulls the semi back to reveal the crushed Impala. The camera pans over to the car, showing each of the Winchesters bloody and unconscious.
