Dean hits the road with Jack who needs to complete a final ritual in the quest to beat Chuck (guest star Rob Benedict). A difference of opinion leaves Sam and Castiel behind looking for answers to questions of their own.

Plot

Reykjavik, Iceland

Amara is soaking in an outdoor hot tub and reading "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami. A spa attendant asks if she wants more wine, and she declines. Once the attendant leaves, Amara notices a rain of meteors overhead. She gets out as more meteors come down, and mutters to herself "Welcome home, brother."

At the bunker, Sam gets a call from Castiel. The angel says that he found nothing at the Basilica of Guadeloupe, despite rumor that there was a spell that could wound God. Sam tells Castiel to get home and hangs up, and Dean comes in but Sam says nothing to him. Dean insists that the only way is for Jack to sacrifice himself to kill Chuck and Amara. Sam doesn't believe it, and Dean insists that they have to get it done.

The Winchesters hear something in the kitchen, and go there to find Amara there. She tells them and Jack that Chuck has returned, and asks how they plan to cage God. Dean says that they have Jack, and Jack doesn't tell her that he'll be sacrificing himself. He does say that they need a final ritual to power himself up.

After Sam and Jack leave, Dean asks if they can count on Amara to help. She says that like she told him, they'll always help each other.

In the main room, Jack wonders if Sam is angry with him. Sam says that Jack sacrificing himself takes a lot of courage, but he still thinks that it's wrong. Dean comes in and says that they need to go to Santa Fe. Once Jack leaves, Sam tells him that he's not going with them. He asks Dean what he has to complete the final ritual, and says that none of it feels right. Dean tells his brother that it doesn't matter how they feel, and Jack isn't family. Sam is shocked at Dean's declaration, and Dean tells Sam that Jack isn't like Sam or Castiel. Jack comes in and apparently overhears them, and Dean tells him that they're going. Dean and Jack drive to Santa Fe in silence.

Castiel returns to the bunker and asks Sam if he stayed behind to find another way. He sits down with Sam to find another way to defeat Chuck.

Amara sits in the forest, and Chuck appears. She asks what he's going to do after he destroys the world. Chuck says that he has an idea but he'll need her help to reboot everything without her. Amara refuses, and Chuck figures the Winchesters have "gotten" to her. He tells Amara that he didn't "write" her relationship with Dean, and figures Amara doesn't care about the world.

Amara invites Chuck to walk with her, and he does so. She suggests that he revel in the wonderful thing he's created, and Chuck says that it's about everywhere he looks, he's reminded of his failures. Amara tells him that none of it was a failure, but Chuck says that humans are lame, disappointing, and ruin everything they touch. She asks about his first children, and teleports them to Heaven.

In Heaven, Amara shows Chuck his "fans": the Angels that want his signature and adore him. Impatient, Chuck teleports them away and tells Amara that he wasn't inspired to do anything with them. Amara says that she wanted Chuck to feel their perfect angelic devotion. Chuck is not impressed, and says that he's made up his mind.

Amara says that they should try balance: creation and destruction, united on behalf of the world. She realizes that Chuck can't, and he only cares about his pleasure and his story. Amara tells Chuck that makes him the villain, and teleports him to the bunker. Chuck discovers that he can't teleport himself away, and Amara says that she gave him an out but he wouldn't take it. Amara explains that the Winchesters have found a way to bind him, and Chuck angrily tells her that she can't hold him there forever. She says that she can hold him there long enough.

As Dean drives, Jack tells him that he doesn't have to worry about anything or need to be sorry. He admits that he's not like Sam and Castiel, and he understands.

The next day, Dean stops at a souvenir store to meet the person Billie said for him to meet with. A man greets Jack by name, although Jack doesn't recognize him. The man introduces himself as Adam: God's first creation. Meanwhile, Adam's woman Serafina admires Jack's aura. Jack realizes that Serafina is an angel, and she kisses Adam.

Adam leads Jack off for a "little private pop quiz". Jack assures Dean that he's okay and goes with Adam. Adam tells Jack that God kicked him and Eve out of the Garden, then moved onto his sons. Serafina tells Adam that Jack will pass the test, and she saw it in a dream.

Adam tells Jack that it's taken him 300,000 years to figure out how to kill Chuck, and Serafina kept him alive until Jack came along. They needed Jack-if he passes the test. Adam points out a display case full of stones, and Adam tells Jack that he has to pick out the one that has been touched by God. Jack starts examining them.

Serafina tells Dean that it was meant to be, that Dean would bring Jack there.

Jack finally picks out a stone, then says that all of them are divine because of their existence because God is in everything. Satisfied, Adam agrees and says that God should be in everything. The two of them go back to the main room and Jack says that he did it. Dean wonders what's next, and Serafina stabs Adam with a knife. She then pulls a rib out of Adam's chest and heals his injury. Adam tells Dean that the rib contains enough divine power to create life, and in this case, enough power to destroy God. Serafina says that everything that happened to Jack has prepared him for what comes next, and the rib will turn Jack into a black hole for divine energy. However, once it starts, it can't be stopped. Adam puts the rib in a baggie and gives it to Jack, asking if he understands, and Jack tells Adam that he understands.

Dean and Jack drive back to the bunker, and Dean finally pulls over and tells Jack that what he said to Sam wasn't something Jack needed to hear with the weight Jack is carrying for the world. He explains that when he heard about Chuck, it was like he wasn't really alive. Now Sam and Dean have a chance to live their lives without all the "crap", and that's because of Jack. Dean thanks Jack, and a surprised Jack says "you're welcome."

Dean gets a text and Jack realizes that it's time, and Dean confirms that it is. Jack takes the out the rib and concentrates, absorbing it into himself beginning the catalyst. His eyes glow briefly as the "detonation" starts.

At the bunker, Sam tosses aside the lore in frustration. Castiel picks up the book and puts it back in front of Sam, and says that he also feels the hopelessness. Sam tells the angel that it doesn't feel right, and he doesn't know what he believes. He wishes he could talk to Billie, and Castiel tells him that he won't let Sam sacrifice himself to summon Billie.

Sam uses the '"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000001-QINU`"'

Sam uses the ''Key to Death''

Sam and Castiel remember that Sergei came to the bunker looking for the "Key to Death". They figure they can use it to access Death's Library, and find the Key among the relics stored there. Sam translates the inscription on the box that goes along with it, and when he recites it a glowing door with a keyhole opens in the wall. Sam prepares to go through, telling Castiel that the angel needs to stay there to buy Dean some time.

Castiel tells Sam that his internal compass is working perfectly. Sam goes through the door and finds himself in the Library. There are dead Reapers everywhere, and the door closes behind Sam and vanishes. Sam steps walks through the archives and comes closer to hearing Reapers screaming in pain.

One male Reaper is lying in front of the Shadow in Meg's form. The Reaper says that Billie won't come, and the Shadow tells him to keep praying. Billie doesn't appear, and the Shadow casually snaps his neck with a telekinetic gesture. She senses Sam and teleports him in front of her, and says that she and Billie need to talk but Billie isn't talking to her. The Shadow doesn't trust Billie to keep her word, and tells Sam that Billie wants to become God and send everyone back to where they belong, meaning everyone resurrected will die and everyone from alternate worlds would be sent back to places that don't exist and will die.

The Shadow points out that Sam is in Chuck's Death Book, and Billie is the only one who can read it. She figures that if she hurts Sam, Billie will come. The Shadow telekinetically tortures Sam, and Sam says that Billie sent him. When the Shadow stops her torture, Sam says that they're trying to kill Chuck and Billie sent him to get the Book. Sam figures that the Shadow can't go to Earth, and it confirms it can't unless summoned due to Chuck. Sam says Billie is on Earth waiting for Chuck and Amara to die, giving the Shadow the choice to either give Sam the Book so they all win and Billie will put it back to sleep, or it can kill Sam and they all lose... and the Shadow will never go back to sleep.

Sam returns to the bunker with the Book. Castiel tells Sam that Amara is there with Chuck, and Sam tells him that they have to stop Jack from killing them, just as Dean arrives with Jack clutching at himself. As they head to the room where Chuck is, Sam tells Dean that they're all being played by Billie and she'll take over as God. Dean says that he doesn't care, as long as Chuck dies. Sam stops Dean, begging him to listen to reason.

Amara tells Chuck that it's not too late and he can still choose the world and them. Chuck orders her to shut up, tells Amara that Dean's rage is winning out in the end, and that this is his real ending. Suddenly, Dean draws his gun on Sam and orders him to move.

Chuck explains that he engineered the whole thing and messed with a few outcomes to get the ending he wanted. Amara tells Chuck that the Winchesters just want to trap him, however, he tells her that they actually want to kill both of them using Jack.

Sam begs Dean not to shoot him, and Dean insists that he has to end it. Sam attacks Dean, who punches him to the floor. Sam explains that if Billie takes over, everyone goes back to where they belong. Bobby and Charlie will be sent back to a world that doesn't exist, and everyone they've saved will die again. Dean tells Sam that they don't have a choice, but Sam insists that they always have a choice. Sam says that they can't get out of their way, and Dean says that he'll trade everyone for killing Chuck. When Sam asks if Dean would sacrifice him, Dean hesitates.

Amara insists that Dean can't hurt her, but Chuck says that he can lie to her. Chuck says that humans will break their hearts every time. Chuck explains that the only one who will ever really "get" them are themselves: and offers the two of them back and together. Chuck tells Amara that together in balance, they can create something beautiful and forget about all of the pain. He extends his hand, and Amara takes it and is absorbed into her brother.

Dean insists that Chuck has to die, and Sam begs his brother to trust him. He always thought that Dean protecting him was the only thing he could always count on and asks his brother to lower his gun. As Dean finally does so, Chuck smashes into the hallway and tells the group they failed to do what he wrote yet again.

Jack starts to '"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000002-QINU`"'

Jack starts to ''detonate''

Chuck explains that he and Amara came to an understanding, and tells Castiel that all of the versions of himself did what they were told... except for the "real" Castiel. He angrily says that they're all too "broken" to do what he wants, and he's over all of them. The Winchesters don't care, and Chuck tells them that he's going to throw out his "broken toys". He doesn't care if they kill each other or not, and they can have fun watching Jack die.

As Chuck teleports away, Jack starts to "detonate".[1]
