The episode begins with a montage of the brothers enjoying a quiet life, Sam living with his girlfriend and Dean settling down in a small town in the hopes of living a normal life.
But their peace is shattered when Sam's old girlfriend, Nikki, is killed by a monster. Sam is visited by his former mentor, Samuel Campbell, who is now leading a team of hunters. Samuel urges Sam to rejoin the family business and help him track down the monsters responsible for Nikki's death. However, Sam is hesitant to leave his new life behind and is conflicted about rejoining the life of a hunter.
Meanwhile, Dean is struggling to adjust to his new life as a regular person. He has a job as a mechanic and is dating a woman named Lisa, with whom he has settled down. However, he is haunted by his past and cannot escape his hunter instincts. His old friend Bobby tries to convince him to return to hunting, but Dean is reluctant to do so.
