2x22 All Hell Breaks Loose, Part Two
Sam is dead and Bobby suggests that it's time they bury him and leave to prepare for whatever is to come next. Dean is furious at the idea and tells Bobby to leave.
Meanwhile, the Yellow-Eyed Demon appears to Jake and tells him that he is the strongest and has to do something for him.
Dean is unable to decide what to do next and is heartbroken at the thought of letting everyone in his life down. In a fit of rage, he drives to the nearest crossroads and summons a demon. The demon, however, will not agree to anything. In a last desperate measure, Dean decides he'll agree to anything. The demon offers to bring Sam back and in return offer's Dean one year, and one year only, promising that if he tries to get out of the deal, Sam will drop dead straight away.
Sam wakes up in pain but is fully healed. Unaware that he has been resurrected from the dead, Dean lies and tells Sam he was only wounded. Sam fills Dean in on what happened previously (2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One) and wants to recommence hunting immediately. Dean, reluctant but unable to deter Sam, drive them over to Bobby's place.
Bobby sees Sam and knows immediately what Dean did but plays along, despite being reproachful. So far Bobby has found nothing but demonic omens appearing in the state of Wyoming, except for one particular area. Ellen appears at Bobby's with Frannie and Charlie Mulvaney who saved her from the Roadhouse fire. After Bobby gets everyone to drink Holy Water Ellen produces a map of Wyoming. She also has been tracking demonic omens. On the map, she has marked five locations with X's, all mid-19th century, built by Samuel Colt. Also marked are iron railway lines connecting each church in the form of a pentagram, forming a hundred square mile Devil's Trap.
Within the devil's trap, is an old cowboy cemetery, which Dean suggests could contain something that the Colt wants to prevent from getting out as opposed to demons trying to get in. They know the devil's trap is still unbroken because of the lack of demonic omens in the area and Bobby says that full-blooded demons would not be able to enter. Remembering his dream from last episode, Sam understands the purpose of the Special Children.
Jake arrives Wyoming and the Yellow-Eyed Demon gives him instructions to open a crypt with the Colt as the key. On arrival at the cemetery, Dean, Sam, Bobby, Ellen, and the Mulvaneys ambush Jake but are overpowered by his psychic mind control. Jake unlocks the crypt and is shot dead multiple times by Sam. Dean removes the Colt and they dive for cover as the doors are flung open and a tremor ripples out from the crypt, breaking the railway line and thus the devil's trap. Hundreds of demons and ghosts fly out of the crypt, which is actually a Devil's Gate, an entrance to Hell), and enter the world.
Bobby, Ellen, Frannie, Charlie, and Sam run to shut the doors of the Devil's Gate. The Yellow-Eyed Demon steps into the cemetery, snatches the Colt from Dean and flings him against a headstone. He thanks Dean for bringing Sam back into the game and prepares to kill him. Suddenly, John appears and wrestles the Demon out of his physical body, giving Dean enough time to grab the Colt and shoot the Demon when he re-enters the body, and kill him.
John then appears to move on and disappears. Sam finds out the truth about his death and what Dean did to save him. In an emotional moment of brotherly love, Sam swears that he will get Dean out of his deal. Even though the Yellow-Eyed Demon died, an army of demons was unleashed; the war has just begun.
