I know!. I'm so sorry for leaving it so long. Please forgive and keep the comments going because they are awesome and really help me keep up the motivation to keep going
The episode starts with a young man being abducted late at night and forced into the trunk of a car. He staggers into a hospital later with his liver removed.
'What kind of monster just steals body parts?' Mary asked, disgusted.
Elsewhere, Dean is torturing a demon with holy water as Sam stands nearby. Dean asks the demon if he's ready to talk yet, but he claims to know nothing.
'What are you asking him about?' John questioned.
'My contract. Obviously.' Dean replied.
Dean declares that he'll ask one last time: "WHO HOLDS MY CONTRACT?" The demon's attitude suddenly becomes much more sinister and he responds to Dean's question with a rude comment about his mother.
'That's rude.' Mary commented, surprised.
Dean demands a name, or else, but the demon hisses back that the only thing he's scared of is the demon holding Dean's ticket.
'You aren't going to get anything out of him.' Bobby commented.
Dean swallows hard and exchanges looks with Sam, who starts to administer an exorcism. Dean taunts the demon as he starts to writhe, but both he and Sam pause when the demon dares them to send him back to Hell, because he'll be waiting for Dean when he gets there, "with a few pals that are dying for a nice little meet and greet with Dean Winchester."
'That doesn't sound good.' Jo said, worryingly.
Sam asks if he should continue; frustrated Dean tells him to "send him some place he can't hurt anyone else." Later, Sam and Dean are looking for leads when Sam comes across a newspaper article detailing the incident involving the young man without a liver. He finds out that the bloody fingerprints found on his dead body were those of a man who died in 1981.
'That's definitely weird.' Bobby commented.
They suspect zombies, but when they arrive at the hospital in Erie, PA, they find that the man's liver was removed surgically. They talk to another patient who woke up with one of his kidneys removed.
'That's gross.' Jo commented.
'That sounds like Doc Benton.' John commented.
'It was.' Sam replied.
Sam finds out that one of the victims was sewn up using silk threads, while maggots were used to prevent infection. John Winchester's journal tells the story of a 19th-century surgeon called Doc Benton who found a way to live forever by replacing organs the moment they stopped working.
'What an asshole.' Mary said, disgustedly.
Even though John had cut out the Doc's heart, it seems Doc Benton survived and is again abducting healthy young people to stay immortal.
'How did he survive me taking out his heart?' John queried.
Meanwhile, Bobby calls Dean and lets him know that Bela was spotted in Canaan, VT, and that Rufus Turner, a retired hunter, was the one who informed him.
'Her, again?' Bobby complained.
Dean wants to leave for Vermont but Sam is adamant on staying in Erie. Sam then reveals his whole purpose for coming to Erie was trying to find a way for Dean to live forever so he won't ever have to die and go to hell.
'That is never a good idea.' Mary warned.
'Yeah. I know that now.' Sam replied.
After an argument during which Dean makes it clear that he believes The Colt is their only means of retrieving Dean's contract, Dean leaves and Sam heads for the woods to find Doc Benton.
'You two splitting up never seems to end up well.' Jo commented.
In an isolated cabin, Sam acquires the doctor's lab book. Later, he finds not only the dead body of the jogger who had his heart removed, but also a young woman missing a chunk of skin on her arm who is still alive.
'At least the woman is still alive.' Cas commented.
Sam manages to escape together with the young woman, running over Doc Benton with his rental jeep. Dean, in the meantime, finds Rufus and bribes him with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue for the location of Bela.
'Of course that is what would convince him.' Bobby said, smiling.
Rufus tells him the hotel Bela is staying at and presents Dean with Bela's criminal record. Dean then confronts Bela at the hotel. She tells him the Colt is gone and is on a plane with her buyer.
'That's not good. How are you going to break your contract?' Mary questioned.
He prepares to shoot her and tells her that he knows that when she was 14, she had the brake lines cut on her parents' car, an action that resulted in them being killed.
'So that is why she was so messed up.' Cas realised.
Bela flashes back to when she was 14 and remembers when her father used to come into her room and close the door (hinting that he was abusing her).
'I do slightly feel sorry for her.' Jo said, and the others nodded.
Before Dean pulls the trigger, he makes a discovery: Bela has Devil's Shoestring placed above her door, indicating that she too is trying to keep out the devil.
'So did she make a deal as well?' Cas asked, and Dean nodded.
After Dean leaves without hurting her, Bela calls someone and lets them know that Dean was in her room and she knows where the brothers are, because she lifted the receipt from the Erie Hotel from Dean's pocket.
