When Dean is killed by Metatron, he stays dead. Even the Mark of Cain isn't enough to bring him back this time. Somehow, Sam hadn't thought to prepare for that possibility. Castiel is cast out by heaven for siding with the Winchesters and losing a bit more of his stolen grace every day, another thing none of them had been ready for. It doesn't feel like there's enough space in the bunker for Castiel, Dean's corpse, Sam and his grief, but where else could they have gone? Then Sam and Castiel hear about a strange plague developing in a town called Superior, Nebraska.
