"So this is it. This is everything I know. Our whole lives we've been searching for this demon right? Not a trace just nothing until about a year ago. for the first time, I picked up a trail."John explains having his research spread throughout the motel room.

"That's when you took off." Both Oliver and Jade point out.

John just glances between the two forgettings how much the two were in sync with each other sometimes.

"That's right. The demon must have just come out of hiding or hibernation."John guesses.

"Alright, so what's the trail you found?"Dean asks walking towards the other end of the table John is sitting at.

The twins and Sam stand next to each other leaning against a counter.

"It starts in Arizona then New Jersey, California. Houses burn down to the ground. It's going after families just like it went after us."John says.

"Family with infants?"Sam asks.

"Yeah, the night of the kid's 6-month birthday."

"I was 6 months old that night?"

"Exactly 6 months."

"So basically this demon is going after these kids for some reason same way it came for me? So mom's death, Jessica it was all because of me?"Sam asks.

"We don't know that Sam." Dean states,

"Oh, really I'd say we're pretty damn sure Dean!"Sam argues taking a few steps toward Dean.

"For the last time what happened to them is not your fault."

"Yeah you're right it's not my fault but it's my problem."

"No, it's not your problem. It's our problem."

"Okay, that's enough." John interrupts the two brothers bickering as he stands up and walks to the side.

Jade and Oliver share a quick look. They both didn't have much word in this argument.

"So why is it doing it? What does it want?"Sam questions,

Dean walks over to where John was sitting.

"I wish I had more answers. I do. I've always been one step behind it. Look I've never gotten there in time to save..."John pause not able to finish his sentence.

"All right so how do we find it before it hits again?" Dean asks.

"There's are signs. Look it's taken me a while to see the pattern but the days before these fires signs crop up in an area cattle deaths, temperature fluctuations, electrical storms, and then I went back and checked and..." John pauses again.

"You saying these things happened in Lawrence." Dean says.

"A week before your mother died and in Palo Alto...before Jessica and these signs they're starting again, "John confirms.

"Where?"Both Jade and Oliver ask.

"Salvation, Iowa."

The Winchesters siblings were following their dad to Salvation Iowa when John for some reason pulled over and gets out of his truck. Making Dean do the same with Sam and the twins getting out of the car too.

"Son of a bitch!" John sears to himself.

"What is it?" Dean ask.

"I just got a call from Caleb." John answers.

"Is he okay?" Dean asks.

"He's fine. Jim Murphy's dead."

"Pastor Jim?"Sam questions and John just nods in response.
