Sam, Dean and Bobby (guest star Jim Beaver) set out in search of The Mother of All's latest monster. While investigating, they run into Samuel (guest star Mitch Pileggi) and Gwen (guest star Jessica Heafey), who are also hunting the creature. Samuel and Bobby get into a heated fight about how to handle the case.

Plot

Bobby tells Sam and Dean about the numerous reports of monster activity that he's been getting from other hunters. All of the monsters seem to be springing up along I-80 leading to Sandusky, Ohio, where Rick, a trucker for Starlight Cannery, recently murdered his whole family with a hammer. Bobby, Sam, and Dean go to question the man, but he has no memory of the event. His last memory is of a young woman asking him for a ride at a gas station. At the police station, they watch the footage from the gas station's security camera, and they see the young woman. Static runs across the screen, obscuring most of her face, but what they can see looks like a monster, and Bobby speculates that they're dealing with the "Mother of All." While they are at the police station, a call comes in that a man has gone postal at the Starlight Cannery, and Bobby goes along with the responders while Sam and Dean stay behind.

Rufus and Bobby together as FBI agents, like old times.

At the cannery, Bobby meets Rufus, who is on the same case, and learns that a worker came to the cannery with a hunting rifle and killed six others before being shot by police. Rufus partners up with him and they go to the morgue, where they examine the man's body. They find black ooze in one of his ears, but it isn't ectoplasm, and they're stumped as to the cause.

They decide to investigate the cannery, and all four men break in at night. There, they encounter Gwen and Samuel Campbell, who are on the same case. Seeing his grandfather, Dean quickly attempts to kill him, as he promised, but Sam persuades him that Samuel might be useful in the hunt. Dean leaves, angry, and Samuel takes note of Sam's change in demeanor and the latter reveals he got his soul back. Rufus then has Samuel explain to the others that the case they're on involves the Mother of All, also known as Eve, and that she is the creator of all the monsters they hunt. As they talk, Bobby mentions Samuel's betrayal of Sam and Dean, and Gwen is shocked and leaves to talk to Dean. She tells Dean that she didn't know about Samuel betraying Sam and Dean to Crowley, and Dean shoots her. The others rush into the room and find Gwen dying. They assume that Dean has been infected like the other two men who went postal, and they search for him. When they find Dean, he tells them that something worm-like crawled out of his ear. They dub the creature "the Khan worm," and together the hunters try and work out a way to find and kill it.

SamuelDead

Sam shoots Samuel dead.

Bobby has them give up their guns and locks them in a locker. When Samuel leaves the room, Sam and Dean follow and confront him about what happened with Crowley, but Samuel is not apologetic and doesn't blame them for wanting to kill him. Dean then makes it clear Samuel is next after the case. Samuel then pulls an extra gun he had hidden and tries to shoot them, as he is infected with the worm. They stop him and he escapes. Eventually, Sam finds and confronts him alone. Samuel says he will tell Sam about the things he did without a soul, but he advances on Sam and Sam is forced to shoot him. When the others find them, they are uncertain whether the worm was in Samuel or if it is in Sam, so they tie Sam up and resolve to cut open Samuel's head and check for the Khan worm.

Sam and Dean leave the room and, as Rufus and Bobby prepare to cut open Samuel's skull, they discuss an unfortunate hunt they were on together in Omaha. It can be inferred that Bobby messed up on the hunt and caused the death of someone that Rufus cared for, and Rufus says that he will never forgive Bobby for what happened. When they begin cutting into Samuel's skull, the Khan worm animates Samuel's dead body and attacks them. During the struggle, Samuel is electrocuted and the worm leaves his body and infects Bobby, who then stabs and kills Rufus while he is possessed.

Sam and Dean overpower Bobby and tie him up. They electrocute him as they question the Khan worm inside him, and they learn that the worm is a new creation that Eve cooked up to lead them to Sandusky. She has a message for them that the worm relates: "She's pissed, she's here, and it's going to be nothing but pain for you from here on in." Sam and Dean tape over Bobby's mouth and electrocute him until the worm slithers out of his ear and dies.

Sam, Bobby, and Dean at Rufus's grave.

After the creature is killed, Bobby, Sam, and Dean bury Rufus. As cremation is not undertaken in the Jewish tradition, Rufus is buried, in what is obviously a Jewish cemetery, rather than given a Hunter's Funeral Pyre. Bobby pours some of Rufus' favorite drink-Johnny Walker Blue Label-on the grave before taking a drink himself.

Trivia

  • Antagonists: Eve and the Khan worm
  • After Samuel Campbell was killed by Sam after being suspected of being taken control by the Khan Worm, he can be seen breathing when he is laying on the table before Bobby and Rufus confirm whether or not he was possessed.
  • The title is based on the 1939 detective fiction novel of the same name by Agatha Christie. Ten persons, who either killed or hid a death, were invited on an island where they were killed one by one according to an old nursery rhyme, "Ten Little Indians". In the episode, Sam, Dean, Bobby, Rufus, Samuel and Gwen are lured into a cannery by Eve where most of them find death at the hand of one of them while possessed by a Khan worm.
  • This is the second episode in which a few recurring hunters are killed; the first one was Season 5's Abandon All Hope...
  • Dean refers to the Khan worm as a "herpe" twice in this episode. The second time, Sam asks why he keeps talking about herpes. In the episode Changing Channels, Sam does a commercial for Herpexia, a herpes medication. There's another reference to the medication by Niveus Pharmaceuticals in The Devil You Know.
  • Most of the cast and crew, except for Jared, suffered from terrible colds during the filming of this episode.
  • Dean referring to the worm as a "herpe" may be a reference to the "space herpes" in "The Ice Pirates".

Sister Agnes was a minion of Abaddon, tasked with stealing souls to turn into demons in Milton, Illinois.

Background

1958

When Abaddon begins her plans to build a demon army by stealing innocent people's souls, she, Agnes and two other demons possess nuns at St. Bonaventure Convent where they begin stealing the nuns' souls. Without souls, one of the nuns, Sister Mary Catherine goes on a rampage and kills two people before jumping from the convent's bell tower. Sister Mary Catherine's actions drew the attention of the Men of Letters; believing it to be a simple case of demonic possession, they send initiates Henry Winchester and Josie Sands to investigate in the guise of a priest and a nun from the Office of the Inquisition. The two meet with Agnes and Abaddon, who was possessing the Mother Superior of the convent and Agnes eventually assigns Sister Julia Wilkinson to escort the two around the convent. That night, after Julia discovers Abaddon dragging one of the other nuns away for soul removal, Agnes knocks her out and takes her to the basement with their other victims. The demons remove the souls of all the girls until only Julia is left. While Abaddon and Agnes remove the soul of one of their captives, Henry and Josie arrive and exorcise the other two demons involved in the plot. As Agnes is in the other room, she is not exorcised and watches as Abaddon confronts Josie and then possesses her. Agnes questions Abaddon about her plans to infiltrate the Men of Letters and study them. Abaddon tells Agnes she plans to study and then destroy the order and commands Agnes to play dead and continue their work without her. Agnes pretends Josie exorcised her so that Henry wouldn't be suspicious and Abaddon is able to successfully infiltrate the Men of Letters and destroy them.

Following Abaddon's departure, Agnes presumably kept up the work of stealing souls as Abaddon ordered.

Season 9

In 2014, Agnes was continuing Abaddon's work in secret and was still using the now-closed convent as her base. While people, once, would stroll right in due to their religious beliefs, they no longer did that due to "perverts" in the church; Agnes, therefore, adapted by having another demon possess a local man named Mr. Richie; the demon would drive around within an old St. Bonaventure van, kidnap people, and steal their souls. After the return of Abaddon and the beginning of her crusade to take over Hell, Agnes' operation ended up being one of several that the Knight of Hell was using to build up her army of demons loyal to her.

As in 1958, the soul-collecting operation drew attention, this time from Sam Winchester, Henry's grandson who, like his grandfather, believed he was dealing with a case of demonic possession. While investigating, Sam realized that the people were acting more like he did when he was soulless than someone who was possessed. While Sam was investigating, he encountered Julia Wilkinson, who told him the story of what happened in 1958. Having seen a picture of the St. Bonaventure van next to the vehicle of one of the victim's before they started acting weird, Sam realized that the convent was Agnes' base and went there to stop the plot. In the basement of the convent, Mr. Richie attacked Sam who quickly killed him. After Sam found the five souls Agnes had stolen, Agnes herself confronted Sam and after throwing him into a pillar, explained Abaddon's plan. Having lost the demon-killing knife, Sam quickly starts an exorcism, but Agnes grabs him by the throat to stop him. Sam then activates a recorded exorcism on his phone and tosses the phone away so Agnes can't stop it. Affected by it, Agnes desperately crawls to the phone to stop it before she can be exorcised. Agnes manages to smash the phone in time, but while she's distracted, Sam retrieves the demon-killing knife and stabs her in the back, killing her. He then releases the souls she had stolen which return to their rightful owners and restore them to normal. While Agnes' operation is stopped, hunters later see signs of the other factories Agnes mentioned. The revelation of Abaddon's plan also gets Sam fully on board with Dean's obsession with killing Abaddon.

Powers and Abilities

She has standard demonic powers and abilities. But, as a soul collector and demon recruiter, she has some abilities which are unique to her.

  • Demonic Possession - Like common demons, she required a human vessel or "meat suit" to travel on Earth.
  • Super Strength - She was able to overpower and choke Sam and smashed his phone into pieces with one hit, despite her body being that of an old woman.
  • Immunity - She possessed resiliency to holy ground, something which other lesser demons do not. Not only can she walk on holy ground, she turned a convent into her lair.
  • Immortality - Like common demons, she has an indefinitely long lifespan and an arrested aging process.
  • Soul Collecting (possibly) - She can collect her victim's soul and contain them in jars, although how and what method she used to do this is not known, therefore it is unknown if she relied on her own power to do this.

Weaknesses

As a regular low-level demon, Agnes possessed all the weaknesses inherent to demons.

  • Exorcism - As a regular demon, Agnes could be exorcised. She was clearly affected by an exorcism when one was used against her but prevented it from being finished.
  • Demon-Killing Knife - Agnes was killed with the knife.
  • High-Tier Demons - Agnes was subservient to Abaddon.
