Had so much fun writing this! Such a gd episode! Hope you enjoy! Please review! Thanks to everyone who has. They mean so much you have no idea.
A woman, Sheila Case, is jogging when she glimpses the apparition of a ship in the harbour. Later, while she showers, a figure appears, and the woman dies of drowning.
'This case? Really?' Sam said, groaning. Mary and John frowned.
In the impala, Dean asks Sam if there is something he wants to tell him and Sam says that there is nothing.
'Sure there isn't.' Bobby commented.
'You two are awful about telling each other things.' Jo commented, with a smile.
Dean then confronts Sam about having killed the crossroads demon, a fact he deduced due to a bullet being missing from the Colt.
'Damn you for being so smart.' Sam said, smirking.
'It wasn't exactly difficult.' Dean retorted.
He is angry that Sam put himself in danger but Sam is unapologetic. The boys visit Gertrude Case, Sheila's aunt, inquiring about the circumstances of her death.
'Look, Sam, it's your girlfriend. I'd forgotten about her.' Dean said, laughing.
'What?' Mary asked, making Sam go slightly red.
'Ignore him. She's not. He's just being stupid.' Sam replied.
They are surprised when Gert, who is obviously attracted to Sam, suggests Sheila may have seen a ghost ship, and asks if they are working the case with "Alex.".
'Wow. She is so creepy.' Mary said, frowning.
Dean makes fun of Sam about this as they exit the building. Outside, Dean panics when the Impala is missing, and he begins hyper-ventilating.
'Please tell me you got it back.' John commented, as the others were laughing.
'Oh I got it back. Don't you worry.' Dean replied.
Bela then appears and admits she had it towed.
'Her again? She always causes trouble.' Bobby commented.
She tells them she scams old women by selling them fake charms and doing seances for them.
'That's awful!' Cas protested.
'Yeah. Well she's an awful person.' Dean replied.
She says that she, calling herself "Alex," had convinced Gert that she had solved her niece's murder, but since the boys showed up Gert is withholding her payment. As she leaves, Dean asks if he can stab her and Sam replies that he can't do it in public.
'Please do.' John muttered.
'John!' Mary protested, with a small smile.
'I meant, hand her in to the police.' John corrected himself.
That night, a man dies, again by drowning at home. Sam and Dean find Bela talking to the victim's brother, pretending to be a reporter.
'She's always getting in the way.' Bobby muttered.
They persuade her to leave and tell the man that reporters were cockroaches and she overhears. Sam and Dean speak to his brother, Peter, and find out that they both saw a Ghost Ship while night diving.
'Wait. Does that mean that he's next?' Jo asked, and Dean nodded and sighed.
Bela meets them afterwards and Dean warns her not to come near him with a loaded gun in his hands. The boys decide to try and protect Peter but Bela claims that he is already canon fodder.
'How heartless can you be?' Mary commented, looking disgusted.
The boys try to protect Peter, by staking him out, but he sees them and leaves just as he is attacked by the Sailor's Ghost and drowned.
'There was nothing you could have done.' Mary said, having seen the looks on Sam and Dean's faces.
They then lament that they can't save everybody.
'You can't. You can only do your best.' Mary continued.
'We could have done more.' Dean muttered.
Bela turns up at the house where the Winchesters are squatting, with information – the ghost ship is the Espírito Santo, and it is a death omen.
'So was she actually being useful for once?' John questioned.
'Only to achieve her own ends.' Dean replied.
The ghost is that of a sailor who was hung for treason. His hand was removed after death to make a Hand of Glory, and Bela suggests they need to retrieve and salt and burn it in order to vanquish the spirit.
'Oh god. I'm never forgiving you for that night.' Sam muttered, with a smile.
'One day you will. It was hilarious.' Dean replied.
Gert obtains invitations for Sam, Dean, and Bela to a function at the Maritime Museum where the Hand of Glory is kept. Dean comes down the stairs in a suit and Bela looks at him appreciatively and says that they should have really angry sex.
'As if. I don't sleep with evil skanks.' Dean commented, and Sam shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
This makes Dean uncomfortable and he tells her not to objectify him.
'You can't talk!' Sam replied, grinning.
As they enter, Dean takes out his gum underneath a champagne fountain, much to Bela's disgust.
'Dean. Really? That's gross.' Mary commented.
Dean begins to think about how they would get upstairs to get the Hand of Glory. After Bela asks him to think faster, he asks her if she has any bright ideas. She responds by fainting, leading to Dean being allowed to take her upstairs to lie down.
'That was actually quite smart.' John conceded.
'She is actually quite smart.' Sam conceded.
Sam keeps Gert, and her wandering hands, busy.
'This is hilarious!' Dean commented, laughing.
'No it wasn't!' Sam protested.
'For you.' Dean replied.
Dean and Bela steal the Hand of Glory. Bela tricks Dean and leaves with the object, which she sells to a client – her goal all along.
'Every time you think she's genuinely trying to help you always find an underlying motive.' Dean commented, shaking his head.
But then she, too, sees the Ghost Ship.
'I know it's a horrible thing to say but it does seem like karma.' John commented, earning him a disapproving look from Mary.
Meanwhile, Sam and Dean have deduced that what links all the deaths is that the victims were involved in the death of a family member.
'So she's a murderer as well as thief.' Jo commented.
Bela turns to the boys for help; although she admits to having been involved in someone's death, she won't elaborate.
'Wow. She must have been desperate to come to you for help.' John said, looking surprised.
At first they don't want to help her but she ends up persuading them.
'As annoying as she is. It was the right thing to do.' Mary commented.
At the sailor's grave, Sam summons the ghost of the ship's captain who had the sailor killed – his brother. Their spirits 'merge' and disappear, and Bela is saved. She shows her thanks by giving the boys $10,000.
'That's generous of her.' John said, looking surprised.
Dean is keen to head to Atlantic City for some fun. He apologizes to Sam for the pain his bargain with the Crossroads Demon is causing, but Sam angrily counters that he doesn't want Dean to worry about him, he wants Dean to care about himself.
'You're adorable.' Dean said, rolling his eyes.
