They discover her location and Sam summons [[Ruby]] for help despite Dean's protests. Ruby warns them they aren't ready to fight Lilith yet but they steal [[Demon-Killing Knife|her knife]] and depart for New Harmony, Indiana.

||
| − | Full Synopsis |
||
| + | The show opens with a great season three montage to "Carry On My Wayward Son", the tradition of season finales. Next, Dean is running from something in the woods, but the growling creature catches up with him and he falls down, yelling and screaming as his blood spurts on his face. He wakes up, his head resting on a page he was reading about Hellhounds. Sam comes in with a smile and reveals that Bobby has found a way to find Lilith. Dean isn't convinced that the plan is going to work with only 30 hours to go and wants to live it up in a Mexican way. Sam jokes they should never do that, and sits down to reassure Dean that he won't let him go to Hell, but Dean isn't comforted when he hallucinates Sam as a ghoulish figure. |
||
| + | Bobby performs a tracking spell by pulling out a device, and after reciting some Latin finds that Lilith is in New Harmony, Indiana. [[File:NewHarmony.jpg|thumb|left|150px]] Dean doesn't like the idea of taking on Lilith unprepared. Sam wants to summon Ruby, but Dean refuses to let him and tells Bobby and Sam to find something else. Sam summons Ruby anyway, and she tells him he can defeat Lilith using his psychic and other abilities instead of her knife. Lilith is on "shore leave" and has her guard down. She didn't tell Sam this before because he would have never considered the idea unless he was desperate. Sam takes in what she says but Dean arrives, refusing to let her help Sam tap into his abilities. He fights her and after taking a beating steals her knife while trapping her under a Devil's Trap. [[File:MissingSmthn.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Dean swipes the knife and traps Ruby.]] |
||
| − | Dean is running. There’s something chasing him, and it’s growling. He keeps running, and looking back. It’s getting closer. Finally, it catches him, and he yells in pain. |
||
| + | Sam tries to get Dean to listen to Ruby, but Dean tells him they need to stop making the same mistakes all over again and stop allowing themselves to be martyrs for each other. They should go after Lilith their way and if they fail they will go down swinging. Dean asks, "What the hell does a demon do for fun?" We find out that Lilith has taken over the body of the young daughter of the [[Mr. and Mrs. Fremont|Fremont family]] and is terrorizing them. She is holding dad, mom and grandpa hostage and has killed her babysitter and her pet, Freckles.[[File:PoorFreckles.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Freckles was mean to Lilith.]] |
||
| − | Motel |
||
| − | Dean wakes up with a jump. He fell asleep on top of a book about hellhounds. “Think up anything good?” Sam says, walking up. “No, nothing good,” Dean says, still looking a little stunned. “Well Bobby has, finally,” Sam replies. “A way to find Lillith.” “Wow,” says Dean, “With… just thirty hours to go.” Dean attempts to make a joke, but it falls flat. Sam sits down next to him. “Dean, hey, I know we’re cutting it close. But we’re gonna get this done. I don’t care what it takes, Dean. You’re not gonna go to hell. I’m not gonna let you. I swear. Everything’s gonna be okay.” Dean turns to look at Sam, but instead of Sam’s face, he sees a horrible, demonic face – then it’s Sam again. “Yeah, okay,” he says. |
||
| + | Sam and Dean try to leave, but the Impala won't start. Bobby shows up with the distributor cap in his hand and tells them he's going with them because "family don't end with blood." He also gets Dean to admit he's seeing hallucinations. [[File:Deadoralive1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sam and Dean sing along.]] On the car ride there, Sam wants to have a talk, but Dean puts on "Wanted Dead or Alive" instead, creating one last brotherly bonding moment by both yelling the song obnoxiously out of tune. Dean turns sad at the end, realizing how bittersweet the last moment is. |
||
| − | Bobby’s place |
||
| − | Bobby is showing the boys a sort of contraption. He tells them with the right name and the right information, there’s nothing you can’t find. “Like the town Lillith’s in?” Sam asks. “Kid, when I get done, we’ll know the street,” says Bobby. He turns to the contraption and starts to speak in Latin, and the pendulum in the middle, which was slowly swinging, stops. “New Harmony, Indiana,” Bobby says, looking up. “Looks like we have a winner.” “Alright, let’s go,” says Sam, starting to leave. Dean stops him. “What’s the problem?” Sam asks. “What’s the problem? Well where do I begin? First of all, we don’t even know if Lillith holds my deal, we’re going off of Bela’s intel. Now when that bitch breathes, the air comes out crooked. Second, even if we could get to Lillith, we have no way to gank her. And third, isn’t this the same Lillith that wants your giant head on a pike? Should I continue?” Dean says. “Well ain’t you just bringing down the room,” Bobby says sarcastically. “Well I’m sorry, so what’re we supposed to do?” Sam asks irritably. “Well just cause I gotta die doesn’t mean you have to – either we go in smart, or we don’t go in at all,” Dean replies angrily. “Well if that’s the case, then I have the answer,” Sam says immediately. “You do,” Dean says flatly. “A way to confirm it’s Lillith, and to get us a bona-fide demon killing instrument,” Sam replies. “Dammit, Sam, no,” Dean says, turning away. “Dean, we are so past arguing,” Sam says. “Dean, I am summoning Ruby.” “The hell you are! We got enough problems as it is!” Dean argues. “Exactly. And we got no time, and no choice, either,” Sam says. “Come on man, she is the Miss Universe of lying skanks, okay? She told you she could save me. Lie! She seems to know everything about Lillith, but forgot to mention – oh right, Lillith owns my soul!” Dean yells. “Okay fine, so she’s a liar. But she still has that knife,” Sam says. “Dean,” Bobby begins. “For all we know, she works for Lillith!” Dean cuts in. “So give me another option, Dean!” Sam says. “I mean, tell me what else.” “Sam’s right,” Bobby says. “No, dammit!” Dean yells loudly. “Just no. We are not gonna make the same mistakes all over again. You guys wanna save me, find something else.” He walks away and sits down. “Where’re you going, Bobby?” Sam asks as Bobby walks away. “I guess to… find something else,” Bobby says irritably. |
||
| + | They get pulled over by a [[Cop Demon|cop]] because the Impala has a busted tail light. Dean attacks the officer and stabs him with Ruby's knife, revealing he's really a demon. Dean confesses he saw his real face under the human face. While hiding the cop car, Bobby says that what Dean is seeing is normal for someone facing Hell soon, and that it will come in handy during their attack on Lilith. Sure enough, they arrive and Dean points out the little girl is Lilith, and the neighborhood is loaded with demons. |
||
| − | Sam is setting up a symbol to summon a demon. He begins to speak in Latin, then strikes a match and lights the candle in the middle. He hears something behind him, but then “You know, phones work too,” know?” Sam asks. “Um, gonna need a tiny bit more…” she says. “About Dean’s deal,” Sam interrupts. “That Lillith holds the contract.” “Yes, I did,” Ruby replies. “And, what you didn’t think that was important?” Sam glares. “You weren’t ready,” she says. “For what?” Sam asks. “If I told you, you too yahoos would’ve just charged after her half-cocked. And Lillith would’ve peeled the meat from your pretty pretty faces,” Ruby replies. “Well we’re ready now. I want your knife,” Sam says. “You’re right about one thing,” Ruby says. “If you are ready, and now’s the time, too – Lillith’s guard’s down.” “Is that so?” Sam says. She tells him that Lillith’s on leave, having a little R&R. She tells him that if he still has the hexbags she gave him, then Lillith won’t see they’re coming. But she says she won’t give him the knife, because it’s not good enough. “Okay then how?” Sam says desperately. “I know how to save your brother, Sam,” she begins, but Sam cuts in. “No you don’t! You told Dean you couldn’t, you’ve been lying to me all along. So just give me your damn knife!” “You’re not the one I’ve been lying to,” she says. “Oh so you can save him,” Sam says sarcastically. “No. But you can,” Ruby says. Sam pauses. “What?” “Sam, you’ve got some God-given talent. Well – not God-given, but you get the gist,” Ruby begins. “What all that psychic crap? That’s gone, ever since Yellow-Eyes died,” Sam says. “Not gone. Dormant,” Ruby replies. “And not just visions. Why do you think Lillith is so scared of you?” “Right. She’s scared of me,” Sam says. “If you wanted, you could wipe her off the map without moving a muscle,” Ruby says. “I don’t believe you,” Sam says. “It’s the truth,” Ruby argues. She tells him that she’s just telling him now, because he never would’ve considered it until he was desperate enough. “You don’t like being different. You hate the way Dean looks at you sometimes, like you’re some sort of sideshow freak,” Ruby says. “But suck it up, cause we got a lot of ground to cover and we’ve gotta do it fast. But we can do it. Look, call me a bitch, hate me all you want, but I have never lied to you, Sam,” she says. “And I’m telling you? You can save your brother. And I can show you how.” “So that’s you, huh?” |
||
| + | They take out a couple of the demons with Ruby's knife, while Bobby blesses a well with a rosary. [[File:RubysBack.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ruby catches up with the gang in New Harmony.]] Ruby catches up with them, and Dean is disgusted by her "real" face. They are surrounded by demons and run for the house just in time for Bobby to turn on the sprinklers, which spray out holy water, stopping the demons at the edge of the lawn. They enter the house and Dean takes the father to safety (grandpa was killed earlier for asking help from the neighbour), while Ruby and Sam go after Lilith. Ruby goes into one room, while Sam finds the girl and her mother in the bedroom. The mom begs Sam to kill the girl but he hesitates over the idea at first. Just before he tries to stab her, Dean stops him and tells him Lilith isn't in her anymore. |
||
| − | Dean suddenly walks in. “Our slutty little Yoda.” “Dean,” she says, turning around. “Charming as ever.” “Oh I knew you’d show up. Cause I knew Sam wouldn’t listen!” Dean says. “But you’re not gonna teach him anything. You understand me? Over my dead body.” “Oh, well you’re right about that,” she says. “What you are gonna do is give me that knife,” Dean says, ignoring her. “Then you’re gonna go and crawl back into whatever slop you came from, and never bother me and my brother again. Are we clear?” “Your brother is carrying a bomb inside of him, and we’d be stupid not to use it,” Ruby says. Sam starts to say something, but Dean cuts in. “Don’t! Come on man, what are you blind? Can’t you see that this is a trick? She wants you to give in to all this demonic, psychic crap. I mean, she probably even wants you to become her little anti-Christ superstar.” “I want Lillith dead, that’s all,” Ruby says irritably. “Why?” Dean asks. “I’ve told you why!” Ruby replies. “Oh right. Cause you were human once, and you like kittens, and long walks on the beach,” Dean says sarcastically. “You know I am so sick of proving myself to you! You wanna save yourself, this is how, you dumb, spineless dick!” she yells. Dean starts to turn away, and then hits Ruby. She then attacks both of the boys, and goes after Dean. However, even after she’s beat him up, he’s smiling. “What the hell are you grinning at?” she asks. “Missing something?” Dean asks, holding up her knife. She starts to go after him, but something’s holding her back. She looks up to see a Devil’s Trap above her. “Like I said, I knew you’d come,” Dean says, starting to walk away. “Wait. You’re just gonna leave me here?” she asks. “Let’s go, Sam,” Dean says, and the boys start up the stairs. “Oh, so you’re just too stupid to live, is that it? Then you deserve it. You deserve hell! I wish I could be there, Dean. I wish I could be there to see the flesh sizzle off your bones! I wish I could be there to hear you scream!” Ruby yells. “And I wish you’d shut your piehole, but we don’t always get what we want,” Dean replies as they leave. |

| − | The boys are preparing guns and all their weapons. “We just gonna let Ruby rot down there?” Sam asks. “That’s the idea,” Dean says. “Dean. What if Ruby’s right. What if I can take out Lillith?” Sam wonders. Dean looks at him. “Stop looking at me like that,” Sam says. Dean asks if Sam think she can just stare at Lillith and kill her. “I don’t know what Ruby meant. Maybe we should just go ask her,” Sam suggests. “Sammy, you wanted the knife, I got you the knife,” Dean says, starting to walk away. “Dean, just listen to me for a second,” Sam begins. “Last time, Lillith snapped her fingers and we had thirty demons on our ass, and all we got is one little knife? I mean like you said, we go in smart or we don’t go in at all.” “Well this ain’t smart,” Dean says. “We got one shot at this, Dean, one. So if there’s a surefire way, maybe we should just talk about it,” Sam replies. “Sam. We are not gonna make the same mistake all over again,” Dean says. “You said that, but what does that even mean?” Sam asks, staring at Dean. “Don’t you see a pattern here? Dad’s deal, my deal, now this? I mean every time on of us is up the creek, the other one’s begging to sell their soul. That’s all this is, man. Ruby’s just jerking your chain up the road. You know what it’s paved with and you know where it’s going,” Dean replies. “Dean,” Sam says softly. “What are you afraid’s gonna happen? This is me. I can handle it. And if it’ll save you…” “Why even risk it?” Dean cuts in. “Because you’re my brother,” Sam says. “And you’d do the same thing for me.” “I know. And look how that turned out,” Dean says. “Sammy all I’m saying is… you’re my weakspot. You are. And I’m yours.” “You don’t mean that, we’re family,” Sam says. “I know. And those evil sons of bitches know it too. I mean what we’ll do for each other, how far we’ll go? They’re using it against us,” Dean replies. “So what, we stop looking out for each other?” Sam asks. “No, we stop being martyrs. We stop spreading it for these demons. We take this knife, and we go after Lillith our way. The way Dad taught us to. And if we go down, then we go down swinging. What do you think?” “I think you totally should’ve been jamming ‘Eye of the Tiger’ right there,” Sam says. “Bite me,” Dean says, standing up. “I totally rehearsed that speech, too.” “So Indiana, huh?” Sam says, with a bit of a grin. “Yeah, where Lillith’s on shore leave. Tell me something. What the hell does a demon do for fun?” Dean wonders. |
||
| + | Dean sends the family off to safety in the basement, while Sam tells Ruby he's ready to try it her way. She tells him it's too late, and Dean stops him, telling him he will let him go to Hell. Sam tearfully asks what he's supposed to do, and Dean tells him to "keep fighting, take care of my wheels, remember what Dad taught you, and remember what I taught you." The clock strikes midnight and Dean awaits his fate while tears run from Sam's eyes. Dean hears the hellhounds, and the three of them run into the office. Sam and Ruby barricade the doors while Dean puts down goofer dust along the doorway and windows. |
||
| + | Ruby demands the knife from Sam, and Dean realizes it isn't Ruby. She pins Sam against the wall and Dean against the desk, and her white eyes show she's really Lilith. Sam asks where Ruby is, and Lilith says she sent her far away. She goes over to Sam and kisses him, while he tries to give himself up for Dean. Lilith won't agree since Sam can't offer her anything she wants. Dean asks her if her plan is to drag him to Hell, kill Sam and become "Queen Bitch," but she won't answer to "puppy chow" and opens the door, letting the hellhound in. Dean is dragged from the table and mauled to death in horrific fashion, which Sam watches in horror screaming at Lilith to stop it. After Dean dies, a delighted Lilith sends her white light of doom in Sam's direction, ready to kill him next.[[File:Lilithlight.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Lilith tries to destroy Sam.]] |
||
| − | We see a cheerful neighbourhood, two old men are getting their mail. One of them asks how the other’s granddaughter is doing, and the other replies that she’s homesick. “Well you give her a big old hug for me,” the other replies, and they shake hands. As they part ways, the first old man sees that there’s a piece of paper in his palm. He opens it. It says “help us”. |
||
| + | The white light dissipates, and slowly terror washes over Lilith. Sam in crouched down in the corner unharmed, and realizes that she no longer has a hold on him. He grabs the knife and goes to stab her, but she exits Ruby's body in a cloud of black smoke. Sam looks down to see the bodies of Ruby and Dean, and begins weeping. He kneels down and cradles Dean's head in his hand, crying inconsolably over his dead brother.[[File:SamTears1.jpg|thumb|200px|Sam holds his dead brother's body]] |
||
| − | The old man goes into his house, stepping over his wife, who is dead on the floor. “Where is she?” he asks a younger couple who is in the kitchen. “Upstairs, playing with Freckles,” the woman replies. “We can’t just sit here,” the old man says. “She’ll hear you!” hisses the man. “That’s my baby girl,” the woman says. “Not anymore. There’s something inside her!” the old man says. “Shut your mouth – she’s coming,” the younger man says, as a little girl walks into the room. Her dress is covered in blood. “What were you guys talking about?” she asks cheerfully. “Just how much we love you,” the old man says. “What happened to your dress?” the mother asks. “Oh, Freckles was mean to me,” she says off-handedly. She then asks if she can go play on the swings, and the father asks if she wants to change her dress first. “You don’t want the neighbours to see all that blood,” he says. “Oh Daddy you’re so smart, I love you,” she says, hugging him. “Hey sweetie, do you think – maybe – after a while, you might… let us go?” he asks slowly. She backs away. “Why?” “I dunno,” he says weakly. “Don’t you wanna be here? Don’t you love me?” she asks. “Well sure I do,” he says, and the mother quickly agrees. “Don’t be mean to me, Daddy. Like Freckles, or what’s-her-name, that mean old baby sitter,” she replies. “I’m sorry,” he says quickly. “That’s okay, silly. Now let’s go and play,” she says, smiling. |

| − | Bobby’s place |
||
| + | The camera pans through Dean's eye to show dark clouds, lightning, cables strung everywhere, and in the middle of it Dean hanging from chains with meathooks piercing through his shoulders and side. He is tethered by multiple black chains. At the end of each chain is a large hook, stuck in his body, suspending him up in the air. |
||
| − | The boys are in the Impala, and Dean is trying to start it, but it won’t. After a couple of tries, Bobby knocks on the window and holds up a part of the car. “Where you think you’re going?” he asks. The boys get out. “We got the knife,” Dean says. “And you intend to use it without me. Do I look like a ditchable prom date to you?” Bobby asks. “No, of course not, Bobby,” Sam begins. “This is about me. And Sam,” Dean says. “This isn’t your fight.” “The hell it isn’t,” Bobby says angrily. “Family don’t end with blood, boy. Besides, you need me. You’re playing wounded. Tell me, how many hallucinations have you had so far?” “How did you know?” Dean asks. “Because that’s what happens when you’ve got hellhounds on your butt,” Bobby says. “And because I’m smart.” He hands Dean back the car part. “I’ll follow,” he says. “Don’t be stopping to pee every ten minutes, either.” |
||
| + | The episode ends with a bloodied Dean looking around, panicked, yelling for help before calling Sam's name before the scene fades to black. |
||
| − | On the road |
||
| − | The boys are driving. “Hey Dean?” says Sam. “If this doesn’t go the way we want, I want you to know…” “No no no no,” Dean says. “You’re not gonna bust out the misty-good-bye speech. I mean if this is my last day on Earth? I don’t want it to be socially awkward.” There’s silence for a minute, and then Dean says, “You know what I do want…” He turns on the radio, to Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead Or Alive”. “Bon Jovi?” Sam says incredulously. “Bon Jovi rocks. On occasion,” Dean says. He starts to sing along, and nudges Sam to help him. After a minute, Sam joins in, and the boys sing along for a while. Dean stops, knowing he’s going to miss this. |

| − | “We getting pulled over?” Sam asks. “I got a busted tail light,” Dean says. “It’s not like we’re in a hurry or nothin’.” He pulls over and winds down the window. “Problem officer?” “License registration, please,” he says, and the officer looks at it while telling him he has a tail light out. “Uh, yes sir,” he says, suddenly looking at the officer weirdly. “I’ve been meaning to fix that. As a matter of fact…” He suddenly opens his door, hard, knocking the cop down, and jumps out. He punches him a couple of times, then stabs him in the neck with the knife. It was a demon. Bobby pulls up and gets out of his car. “What the hell happened?” “Dean just killed a demon!” Sam says. “How did you know?” “I just knew,” Dean replies. “I saw his real face, under that one.” |

You’re piercing the veil, Dean. Glimpsing the B-side.” “A little less new-agey, please,” Dean says. “You’re almost hell’s bitch,” Bobby replies. “So you can see hell’s other bitches.” “Thank you,” Dean says sarcastically. “Might come in pretty handy, actually,” Sam says. “Well I’m glad my doomed soul’s good for something,” Dean says. “Damn right it is. Lillith’s probably got demons stashed all over town. We can’t let them sound the alarm. She knows we’re here, we’re dead before we’ve started,” Bobby says. “Well this is a terrific plan. I’m glad to be a part of it. Can we go please?” Dean says. |

| − | The family is sitting around the dinner table as the mother comes out with a cake. “Happy birthday, sweetie,” she says. “Yay, it’s my birthday every day,” she says, blowing out the candles. Then, “Hey Grandpa, can I ask you something?” She asks him why he tried to go to the neighbours for help. “I didn’t,” he says, scared. “I don’t know what you mean.” “You’re a big fat liar,” she says, then asks the man and his wife if they knew about it. They shake their heads, despite the grandfather’s silent pleas for help. “Grandpa? You don’t love me anymore?” she asks. “No I love you, I do,” he says. “You’re lying again,” Lillith says. “You’re just a mean old man. I don’t like you anymore.” She snaps her fingers, and his neck breaks, killing him. “Nobody scream, okay? Screaming makes me mad,” she says quietly. “Mommy, can I have ice cream with mine?” |

| − | Outside, the guys are watching the house. “It’s the little girl,” Dean says. “Her face is awful.” Dean then tells them that every single person around is a demon, the mail man and everything. Sam says they have to find a way to save everybody, not just Dean. |

||
| + | *The title of the episode is based from the song from Cage The Elephant. |
||
| + | *According to the book "''Supernatural the Official Companion Season 3''", the original vision for the final scene would have placed Dean in a "really nasty, bloody slaughterhouse, hanging from meat hooks". Here, Dean would start screaming as shadows fall over him. Discussions between [[Eric Kripke]], [[Kim Manners]], and Ivan Hayden led to the decision to present "one epic glimpse" of Hell. Though the scene matched with the many versions of "chains and people being ripped apart", art director John Marcynuk felt they should have made it "a little more mysterious and dark". He commented, "My opinion is, the vaguer the better, because you let the imagination take over. People have different fears, and Hell's such a personal torment. |
||
| + | *The police car that gets covered up after Dean kills the demon posing as a cop is numbered 54. This may be a reference to the television series "Car 54 Where Are You". |
||
| + | *At one point in the episode Dean says, "...hell, she probably wants you to become her little Antichrist Superstar". Antichrist Superstar is an album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. |
||
| + | *This is the only finale episode in the [[Supernatural|whole series]] where not all of the main characters' actors are present, with the absence of [[Lauren Cohan]] as [[Bela Talbot]]. |

| − | The mailman sees Dean, and heads off across the yard after him, only to be caught and stabbed with the knife. Bobby is putting holy water into the sprinkler system. As Dean heads off to the next place, he is suddenly shoved up against the fence by Ruby. “Can I have my knife back please? Or your neck snaps like a chicken bone,” she says. Sam grabs her. “He doesn’t have it. Take it easy.” “How did you get out?” Dean asks. “What you don’t know about me could fill a book,” she says. Dean looks at her weird. “Whoa.” “What?” “Nothing, it’s just I couldn’t see it before but you are one ugly broad,” Dean says. “Sam. Give me the knife before you hurt yourself,” Ruby says. When Sam tells her she can have it later, she says it’s already over. Dean’s dead, and Sam can’t die too. “Try and stop me, and I’ll kill you. Bitch,” he says. “Hit me with your best shot, baby,” she says, and Dean stops them. “Have your little cat fight later.” There’s demons standing all around the other houses, watching them. “So much for the element of surprise,” Dean says, and they make a run for the house. As the demons chase them, Bobby sets the sprinkler system off and they are stopped by the holy water. Ruby says that Lillith probably knows they’re there. |

| − | They continue into the house, and Dean grabs the father. He says they’re there to help, and the man tells them that his daughter is upstairs. Dean tells him to go downstairs and put salt in front of the door, and when the man says not without his wife, Dean punches him and carries him down to the basement. |

The mother is awake, and she tells him to do it, to stab the girl. Just as Sam is about to, the little girl wakes up and screams. Dean runs in behind Sam and says Lillith’s not inside the little girl anymore, she’s in someone else. |

| − | Dean tells the wife and her daughter to go downstairs, and Sam asks Ruby what he has to do. She tells him it’s too late, he had his chance and blew it. “You can’t just flip a switch,” she says. Sam says there’s gotta be some way, and Dean tries to stop him. “I’m not letting you go to hell!” Sam yells. “Yes you are!” Dean yells back. “Yes you are. I’m sorry. This is all my fault, I know that. But what you’re gonna do… it’s not gonna save me. It’s just gonna kill you.” “Then what am I supposed to do?” Sam asks. “Keep fighting,” Dean says. “Take care of my wheels… Sammy, remember what Dad taught you.” Sam nods. “And remember what I taught you,” Dean finishes. Just then, the clock strikes twelve. “I’m sorry, Dean,” Ruby says. “I wouldn’t wish this upon my worst enemy.” Then Dean hears it, the growling. “Hellhound,” he says. “There.” They run. They close the door, and put the black dust in front of the doors and windows. “Give me the knife, maybe I can fend it off,” Ruby says. “That dust won’t last forever.” Sam starts to give her the knife, but then Dean stops him. “Sam that’s not Ruby! It’s not Ruby!” Sam goes to stab her, but she throws him back against the wall, along with Dean, who is on the table. “How long you been in her?” Dean asks. “Not long,” she says. “But I like it.” She looks up and her eyes are white. “It’s all grown up and pretty.” “And where’s Ruby?” Sam asks. “She was a very bad girl,” Lillith replies. “So I sent her far, far away.” “You know I should’ve seen it before,” Dean says. “But you all look alike to me.” She looks at Sam. “Hello, Sam. I’ve wanted to meet you for a very long time.” She kisses him. “Your lips are soft.” “Alright so you have me,” Sam says. “Let my brother go.” “Silly goose,” she says. “You wanna bargain, you have to have something that I want. You don’t.” “So this is the big plan, huh?” Dean says. “Drag me to hell, kill Sam, and then what? Become Queen Bitch?” “I don’t have to answer to puppy chow,” she says coldly. She walks to the door, and opens it. “Sic ‘em, boy.” The hellhound rushes in, and drags Dean down onto the ground. He screams in pain, while Sam yells. “NO!” “Yes,” Lillith says, and holds out her hand as white light floods out. |

He picks up the knife and prepares to kill her, but the demon leaves her body. Sam rushes to Dean’s side, lifting him up into his arms. “No,” he says. “No.” But Dean is dead. |

No Rest for the Wicked is the 16th episode and the season finale of Season 3. It premiered on May 15th, 2008.
Summary
|
There was something about being there... It felt pure. This episode summary is an official CW press release. It may contain errors. DO NOT CHANGE! |
It's 30 hours before Dean's deal with the crossroads demon is up and Dean, Sam and Bobby (Jim Beaver) are searching for Lilith, who holds the contract. They discover her location and Sam summons Ruby for help despite Dean's protests. Ruby warns them they aren't ready to fight Lilith yet but they steal her knife and depart for New Harmony, Indiana. In a battle to the death, Sam, Dean and Bobby take on Lilith and all her demons in a last ditch effort to save Dean's life.
Plot
The show opens with a great season three montage to "Carry On My Wayward Son", the tradition of season finales. Next, Dean is running from something in the woods, but the growling creature catches up with him and he falls down, yelling and screaming as his blood spurts on his face. He wakes up, his head resting on a page he was reading about Hellhounds. Sam comes in with a smile and reveals that Bobby has found a way to find Lilith. Dean isn't convinced that the plan is going to work with only 30 hours to go and wants to live it up in a Mexican way. Sam jokes they should never do that, and sits down to reassure Dean that he won't let him go to Hell, but Dean isn't comforted when he hallucinates Sam as a ghoulish figure.
Bobby performs a tracking spell by pulling out a device, and after reciting some Latin finds that Lilith is in New Harmony, Indiana.
Dean doesn't like the idea of taking on Lilith unprepared. Sam wants to summon Ruby, but Dean refuses to let him and tells Bobby and Sam to find something else. Sam summons Ruby anyway, and she tells him he can defeat Lilith using his psychic and other abilities instead of her knife. Lilith is on "shore leave" and has her guard down. She didn't tell Sam this before because he would have never considered the idea unless he was desperate. Sam takes in what she says but Dean arrives, refusing to let her help Sam tap into his abilities. He fights her and after taking a beating steals her knife while trapping her under a Devil's Trap.
Dean swipes the knife and traps Ruby.
Sam tries to get Dean to listen to Ruby, but Dean tells him they need to stop making the same mistakes all over again and stop allowing themselves to be martyrs for each other. They should go after Lilith their way and if they fail they will go down swinging. Dean asks, "What the hell does a demon do for fun?" We find out that Lilith has taken over the body of the young daughter of the Fremont family and is terrorizing them. She is holding dad, mom and grandpa hostage and has killed her babysitter and her pet, Freckles.
Freckles was mean to Lilith.
Sam and Dean try to leave, but the Impala won't start. Bobby shows up with the distributor cap in his hand and tells them he's going with them because "family don't end with blood." He also gets Dean to admit he's seeing hallucinations.
Sam and Dean sing along.
On the car ride there, Sam wants to have a talk, but Dean puts on "Wanted Dead or Alive" instead, creating one last brotherly bonding moment by both yelling the song obnoxiously out of tune. Dean turns sad at the end, realizing how bittersweet the last moment is.
They get pulled over by a cop because the Impala has a busted tail light. Dean attacks the officer and stabs him with Ruby's knife, revealing he's really a demon. Dean confesses he saw his real face under the human face. While hiding the cop car, Bobby says that what Dean is seeing is normal for someone facing Hell soon, and that it will come in handy during their attack on Lilith. Sure enough, they arrive and Dean points out the little girl is Lilith, and the neighborhood is loaded with demons.
They take out a couple of the demons with Ruby's knife, while Bobby blesses a well with a rosary.
Ruby catches up with the gang in New Harmony.
Ruby catches up with them, and Dean is disgusted by her "real" face. They are surrounded by demons and run for the house just in time for Bobby to turn on the sprinklers, which spray out holy water, stopping the demons at the edge of the lawn. They enter the house and Dean takes the father to safety (grandpa was killed earlier for asking help from the neighbour), while Ruby and Sam go after Lilith. Ruby goes into one room, while Sam finds the girl and her mother in the bedroom. The mom begs Sam to kill the girl but he hesitates over the idea at first. Just before he tries to stab her, Dean stops him and tells him Lilith isn't in her anymore.
Dean tries to calm Mr. Fremont.
Dean sends the family off to safety in the basement, while Sam tells Ruby he's ready to try it her way. She tells him it's too late, and Dean stops him, telling him he will let him go to Hell. Sam tearfully asks what he's supposed to do, and Dean tells him to "keep fighting, take care of my wheels, remember what Dad taught you, and remember what I taught you." The clock strikes midnight and Dean awaits his fate while tears run from Sam's eyes. Dean hears the hellhounds, and the three of them run into the office. Sam and Ruby barricade the doors while Dean puts down goofer dust along the doorway and windows.
Ruby demands the knife from Sam, and Dean realizes it isn't Ruby. She pins Sam against the wall and Dean against the desk, and her white eyes show she's really Lilith. Sam asks where Ruby is, and Lilith says she sent her far away. She goes over to Sam and kisses him, while he tries to give himself up for Dean. Lilith won't agree since Sam can't offer her anything she wants. Dean asks her if her plan is to drag him to Hell, kill Sam and become "Queen Bitch," but she won't answer to "puppy chow" and opens the door, letting the hellhound in. Dean is dragged from the table and mauled to death in horrific fashion, which Sam watches in horror screaming at Lilith to stop it. After Dean dies, a delighted Lilith sends her white light of doom in Sam's direction, ready to kill him next.
Lilith tries to destroy Sam.
The white light dissipates, and slowly terror washes over Lilith. Sam in crouched down in the corner unharmed, and realizes that she no longer has a hold on him. He grabs the knife and goes to stab her, but she exits Ruby's body in a cloud of black smoke. Sam looks down to see the bodies of Ruby and Dean, and begins weeping. He kneels down and cradles Dean's head in his hand, crying inconsolably over his dead brother.
Sam holds his dead brother's body
Dean suffering in Hell.
The camera pans through Dean's eye to show dark clouds, lightning, cables strung everywhere, and in the middle of it Dean hanging from chains with meathooks piercing through his shoulders and side. He is tethered by multiple black chains. At the end of each chain is a large hook, stuck in his body, suspending him up in the air.
The episode ends with a bloodied Dean looking around, panicked, yelling for help before calling Sam's name before the scene fades to black.

Continuity
- Dean's deal, made in All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 2, comes due in this episode.
- While arguing on whether they should summon Ruby to help, Dean said, "For all we know, she works for Lilith." This later would prove to be true in the Season 4 finale.
Trivia
- The title of the episode is based from the song from Cage The Elephant.
- According to the book "Supernatural the Official Companion Season 3", the original vision for the final scene would have placed Dean in a "really nasty, bloody slaughterhouse, hanging from meat hooks". Here, Dean would start screaming as shadows fall over him. Discussions between Eric Kripke, Kim Manners, and Ivan Hayden led to the decision to present "one epic glimpse" of Hell. Though the scene matched with the many versions of "chains and people being ripped apart", art director John Marcynuk felt they should have made it "a little more mysterious and dark". He commented, "My opinion is, the vaguer the better, because you let the imagination take over. People have different fears, and Hell's such a personal torment.
- The police car that gets covered up after Dean kills the demon posing as a cop is numbered 54. This may be a reference to the television series "Car 54 Where Are You".
- At one point in the episode Dean says, "...hell, she probably wants you to become her little Antichrist Superstar". Antichrist Superstar is an album by American rock band Marilyn Manson.
- This is the only finale episode in the whole series where not all of the main characters' actors are present, with the absence of Lauren Cohan as Bela Talbot.
- The CW's official summary mistakenly does not cite actor Jim Beaver as a guest star.
