Not sure he trusts himself anymore, Sam decides to give up hunting, but a late-night visitor won’t let him off the hook that easily. The late night visitor is Jessica, who tells him that people don't change, even though Sam seems to disagree with her. Dean, intending on stopping the Apocalypse, continues hunting on his own and teams up with Castiel to find the archangel Raphael, as Castiel believes Raphael knows God’s location. They find Raphael's vessel and lure him out, but are no closer to finding God's location. Sam gets another late-night visit from Jessica, which turns out to be Lucifer disguising himself as Jessica all along. He says that Nick's body was Plan B, and that his true vessel was supposed to be Sam. He says that eventually, without any trickery or lies, Sam will agree to be his vessel, although Sam adamantly disagrees.
