The Impala is parked in front of a small Diner somewhere. "Hey, don't forget the extra onions this time, huh?" Dean says.
"Dude, I'm the one whose gonna have to ride in the car with your extra onions." Sam says.
Dean grins and Sam gets out of the car, sighing. "Hey, see if they've got any pie." Dean says. Glaring, Sam shuts the door. "Bring me some pie! I love me some pie."
Dean watches Sam go into the café and talk to the waiter. Suddenly, Dean's car radio becomes staticky.
"What is that?" Elena asks.
"I don't know." Dean says. Dean glances down and fiddles with it, but it turns off completely. When Dean looks back up, the inside of the café is empty. No waiter, no Sam.
Dean and Elena run into the café. One customer at a booth is dead, face down in a puddle of blood. "Sam?" He takes out his gun and looks around.
He finds that the employees are also dead, with their throats slit. Dean opens the back door and looks around outside. "Sam?!" Elena yells.
Dean then notices a white substance on the door. He touches it and shows Elena. "Sulfur." He says. Dean races back out the front door, heading back to the car. "Sam! Sammy! Sam? Sammy!" No response "Sam!"
UNKNOWN LOCATION
[ ☼ ]
Sam wakes up in the middle of nowhere. He is lying on the ground, and a few abandoned buildings are lining the street. He stands and takes out his phone, but gets no cell reception.
Sam continues to search the deserted town but doesn't find much. Most of the buildings are broken down or locked from the outside. Suddenly, Sam hears a creaking noise from nearby. He grabs a plank of wood, ready to fight, when Andy Gallagher turns the corner. He jumps back, startled.
"Andy?"
"Sam! What are you doing here?" Andy asks.
"I don't know."
"What am I doing here?!" Andy asks.
"I don't know."
"Where are we?!" Andy asks.
"Andy, look, calm down." Sam says.
"I can't calm down! I just woke up in freaking Frontierland!" Andy yells.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Sam asks.
"Honestly? My fourth bong load. It was weird. All of a sudden, there was this really intense smell. Like, uh..." Andy starts.
"Like sulfur?"
"How did you know that?" Andy asks.
Sam remembers something. "Dean." He says.
"Your brother-is he here?" Andy asks.
"I don't know where he is. I don't know if he's..." Suddenly, they hear a woman screaming in the distance. They approach another deserted building. She is locked inside, banging on the door for help. "Hello?"
"Help me! Help me, please!" She yells.
"Okay, I'm here. We're gonna get you out, all right? Just hold on a second." Sam says.
"Please!"
Sam grabs a large rock and smashes the padlock on the door. "All right, one second." He says.
"Please!" She yells. Sam unlocks the door and Ava Wilson steps out.
"Ava?" Sam asks.
"Oh my God!" Ava exclaims. "Sam!"
Sobbing, she gives him a gigantic hug. "So, I guess you guys know each other." Andy says.
"Yeah." Sam says.
"How did you—I mean, how did you—" Ava starts.
"Ava, have you been here this whole time?" Sam asks.
"What whole time? I just woke up in there, like, half an hour ago." She says.
"Well, you've been gone for five months. My brother and I have been looking for you everywhere." Sam says.
"Okay, that's impossible, because I saw you two days ago." Ava says.
"You didn't. I'm sorry." Sam says.
"But...that makes no sense. That's not—oh my God! My fiancée, Brady! If I've been missing for that long, he must be freaking out!" She yells.
"Well..."
Ava notices Andy and looks at him, confused. "Hey. Andy. Also freaking out." Andy says.
"Okay." Ava says then turns to Sam. "What's happening?"
"I don't really know yet. But I know one thing: I know what the three of us have in common." Sam says.
They suddenly hear a man's voice, calling from the distance. "Hello? Is anybody there?" The Man asks.
"Maybe more than three."
They run to the side of another building. The man, Jake Talley, is accompanied by a blonde girl, Lily. "Hello? Hey! Hey, you guys all right?" Sam asks.
"I think so." Jake says.
"I'm Sam."
"I'm Jake."
"Lily."
"Are there anymore of you?" Sam asks.
"No." Jake says.
"How did we even get here? A minute ago, I was in San Diego." Lily says.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I went to sleep last night in Afghanistan." Jake says.
"Let me take a wild guess: you two are both twenty-three? We all are. And we all have abilities." Sam says.
"What?" Jake asks.
"It started a little over a year ago? You found you could do things? Things you didn't think were possible?" Sam asks and they both nod. "I have visions. I see things before they happen."
"Yeah. Me, too." Ava says.
"Yeah, and I can put thoughts into people's heads. Like, make them do stuff. But don't worry, I don't think it works on you guys. Oh, but get this –- I've been practicing. Training my brain, like meditation." Andy says. "So now, it's not just thoughts I can beam out, but images, too. Like, anything I want. Bam! People see it. This one guy I know-total dick, right? I used it on him: gay porn. All hours of the day. It was just like...you should have seen the look on his face." The other four look completely horrified. "Uh...okay."
"So, you go, "Simon says give me your wallet", and they do?" Lily asks and turn to Sam. "You have visions? That's great! I'd kill for something like that."
"Lily, listen, it's okay." Sam says.
"No. It's not. I touch people? Their hearts stop. I can barely leave my house. My life's not exactly improved. So, screw you. I just wanna go home." She says.
"And what, we don't?" Jake asks.
"You know what, don't talk to me like that—" Lily starts.
"Hey, guys, please. Look, whether we like it or not, we're all here, and so we all have to deal with this." Sam says.
"Who brought us here?" Andy asks.
"It's less of a 'who'. It's more of a 'what'." Sam says.
"What does that mean?" Ava asks.
Sam pauses. "It's a demon."
HIGHWAY
[ ☼ ]
Bobby, Elena and Dean are parked on the side of the road, poring over a map. "This is it. All demonic signs and omens over the past month." Bobby says.
"Are you joking? There's nothing here." Dean says.
"Exactly."
"Well, come on, there's gotta be something. What about the normal, low-level stuff? You know, exorcisms, that kind of thing." Dean suggests.
"That's what I'm telling you: there's nothing. It's completely quiet."
"Well, how are we supposed to look for Sam? What, do we just close our eyes and point?" Elena snaps.
"You're a little snippy today." Bobby says.
"Sorry, I'm just really worried about him."
Dean's phone rings. It is Ash, calling from the Roadhouse. "Ash, what do you got?" Dean asks.
"Okay, listen, it's a big negatory on Sam." Ash says.
"Oh, come on, man! You've gotta give us something. We're looking at a three thousand-mile haystack here." Dean says.
"Listen, Dean, I did find something." Ash says.
"Well, what?"
"I can't talk over this line, Dean." Ash says.
"Come on, I don't have time for this!"
"Make time, okay? Because this-" Ash stops as a customer walks by. "What's up? What's going on?" The customer passes by, and Ash goes back to Dean. "Not only does this almost definitely help you find your brother, this is...it's huge. So get here. Now." He hang up.
"I guess we're going to the Roadhouse. Come on." Dean says.

"So, we're soldiers in a demon war to bring on the Apocalypse?" Jake asks.
"When you put it like that—" Sam starts.
"And we've been picked?" Jake says.
"Yes."
"Why us?" Jake asks.
"I'm not sure, okay? But look, I just know—" Sam starts.
"Sam, I'm sorry. Psychics and spoon-bending is one thing, but demons?" Ava asks.
"Look, I know it sounds crazy, but—" Sam starts.
"It doesn't just sound it." Jake says.
"I don't really care what you think, okay? If we're all gathered here together, then that means it's starting and that we've gotta—" Sam says.
"The only thing I've gotta do is stay away from wackjobs, okay? I've heard enough. I'm better off on my own. FYI, so are you." Jake says and walks away.
"Jake, hold on. Jake!" Sam yells and Jake ignores him and continues walking until he is alone in the town. Suddenly, he sees a little girl standing inside one of the buildings.
She stares at him through the door, then vanishes. Jake follows her, entering the abandoned schoolroom. "Hello?"
The girl can be heard giggling somewhere in the room. "It's all right. Don't be scared. Are you lost? Hello?" He then hears screeching coming from the chalkboard. He turns to look at it, and the words "I will not kill" are written over and over again on the board.
The girl appears in the room, laughing. Her nails grow to form claws, and her face contorts. "Get back!" Jake yells and Sam suddenly enters the building, grabbing an iron poker and hitting the girl with it. She dissolves into a cloud of black smoke, which exits the schoolroom.
The other three join Jake and Sam. "Just so you know? That was a demon. Now, that thing-I'm not sure, but I think it was an Acheri. A demon that disguises itself as a little girl. That still doesn't tell us where we are. Andy, are you with me or what?" Sam asks.
"Give me a minute. I'm still working through, "Demons are real"." Andy says. The group keeps walking. In front of one of the buildings is a large, rusty bell hanging from a wooden structure.
"I've seen that bell before. I think I know where we are now: Cold Oak, South Dakota. A town so haunted, every single resident fled." Sam says.
"Swell. Good to know we're somewhere so historical." Ava says sarcastically.
"Why in the world would that demon or whatever put us here?" Lily asks.
"I'm wondering the Same thing." Says Sam.
"You know what? It doesn't matter. Clearly, the only sane thing to do here is get the hell out of Dodge." Lily says and walks away.
"Wait, hold on. Lily, the only way out is through miles of woods." Sam points out.
"Beats hanging out with demons."
"Lily, look, we don't know what's going on yet. I mean, we don't even know how many of them are out there right now." Sam says.
"Yeah, he's right. We should—" Jake starts.
"Don't say 'we'! I'm not part of 'we'. I have nothing in common with any of you." She says.
"Okay, look, I know—" Sam starts.
"You don't know anything!" Lily yells. "I accidentally touched my girlfriend."
The rest of them look around, stunned. "I'm sorry." Sam says.
"Whatever. I feel like I'm in a nightmare, and it just keeps getting worse and worse." She says.
"I've lost people, too. I have a brother out there right now that could be dead, for all I know and a girlfriend in the same position. We're all in bad shape. But I'm telling you, the best way out of this is to stick together." Sam says.
"Fine."
Sam nods, and the group continues looking around the town. "We're looking for iron, silver, salt-any kind of weapon." He says.
"Salt is a weapon?" Jake asks.
"It's a brave new world." Sam says.
"Well, hopefully there's food in your world, because I'm frickin' starving." Andy says. They enter another building. Lily looks like she is about to follow, but stays behind. She wanders off on her own, away from the group.
ROADHOUSE
[ ☼ ]
Dean and Bobby turn the corner to the Roadhouse. When they get there, however, the entire building has burned to the ground. "What the hell?" Dean asks.
They get out of the car and begin walking among the debris. Every single part of the Roadhouse has been destroyed. "Oh, my God." Elena and Bobby say at the same time.
"You see Ellen?" Dean asks.
"No. No Ash, either." Bobby says.
Dean suddenly bends down and sees Ash's watch in the pile of rubble. He pulls on it and sees it is still attached to Ash's very burnt corpse. "Oh, Ash, damn it!"
