Full Synopsis

Oak Park, Illinois
Season three opens in a residential neighborhood just west of Chicago in Oak Park, giving a pan shot of the skyline in the background. A male resident is taking out a bag of trash. He pauses for a second as he approaches the sidewalk. A slight breathing sound is heard in the distance. He glances back at his car and continues walking to the curb. After placing the trash in the can, he starts walking back towards the house, when he hears the trash cans rattling. He turns around and walks slowly towards them. The closer he approaches the cans, they faster and louder they rattle. Then the street lights starts to flicker and as he looks up into the sky, a cloud of black demonic smoke starts to form alongside the moonlight. As the clouds inch closer to him, several strands of the smoke break away from the cloud and shoot towards him. One of the strands knocks him on the ground and enters through his mouth. After swallowing all the smoke, the black demonic eyes appear inside the man. He gets up and looks up into the sky, as the smoke makes its way over the Chicago skyline and dissipates.

Motel (Location Unknown, One Week Later)
Sam’s sitting inside the parked Impala reading through ritual books on demons trying to find any lead on breaking Dean free of the deal he made at the crossroads, while Dean himself is inside the motel getting laid with a hot chick. Bobby calls the boys and tells them about a possible lead on a demonic omen outside of Lincoln, Nebraska. Only signs are crop failure and a saccade swarm, but it’s their only lead. Without further hesitation, the boys hit the road.

Just Outside Lincoln Nebraska
The boys meet up with Bobby at the house of one of the latest victims, hoping to find more leads on the demon. They are surprised to find three dead rotting bodies in the middle of the living room when they enter the door. There are no traces of sulfur or any other signs of a demonic attack. If it is one it’s nothing like they’ve ever seen. While at the house, they run into a couple of longtime hunter friends of Bobby’s, Issac and Tamara who are working this case as well. Later at Issac and Tamara’s house, Dean gets in touch with coroner who tells him that the cause of death for the whole family was dehydration and starvation, which doesn’t make any sense being that there was a fully stocked kitchen a few feet away. Issac refuses to team up the boys since they were the ones that let the Devil’s gate open up in the first place. Outside the house a young female blonde suddenly appears out of the dense fog, looking very suspiciously at the house, but doesn’t enter.

Department Store
The demon-possessed man from Oak Park walks into a local department store and approaches a random girl inside. He lays his hand on her and says, “Say those are nice shoes.” The girl turns around for a second and agrees with him, glances back and walks over to the woman with the shoes and says she wants them. When the woman refuses to give them to her, she makes a second attempt outside by her car. When the woman refuses to give up the shoes again, the girl grabs her by the woman and slams her face against the car windshield several times causing her right eye to gouge out with blood, leaving her dead on the sidewalk. The girl then grabs the pair of shoes and takes off.

Later after the cops arrive on the scene, Bobby and the boys show up, looking for signs of a demonic possession. They find no traces of sulfur at all. It seems as if that girl really just wanted those shoes. After taking a look at the surveillance tape, they discover the possessed man and decide to follow him as their next move. Outside the department store, the blonde girl who appeared outside Issac and Tamara’s house last night appears across the street behind a tree. She seems to be taking a high interest in Sam. She follows Sam as he’s walking down the block but makes herself scarce before he turns around.

Local Bar (That Evening)
Bobby and the boys are parked outside a local bar where John Doe, the demon-possessed man from Oak Park likes to hang out. The demon does indeed show up, but the boys are not ready to make a move yet, given that they don’t know what these demons are capable of. However, they run into an obstacle when Issac and Tamara show up and walk inside. The two of them sit down at a table near the demon. A few minutes later the demon walks into the bathroom. As Issac heads towards the bathroom, he is halted by another demon and the two of them soon discover they are trapped in the bar by seven demons.

One of the demons lays his hand on Issac with a bottle of drain cleaner and insists that he take a drink. Under the influence of the demon, he chugs the whole bottle and immediately falls dead to the floor coughing up chunks of blood as well. Bobby and the boys take the car and drive through the door inside and immediately start lashing the demons with batches of holy water. Sam gets Tamara into the car and Dean manages to get John Doe trapped inside the devil’s trap in the trunk of the car and they drive off.

House
Back at the house with the demon tied in a chair under another Devil’s Trap, Bobby, Tamara, and the boys are trying to figure out what their next move is. Looking at one of the books, Bobby soon realizes that they’re up against the Seven Deadly Sins, who were discovered to be actual demons back in 1580 by Peter Binsfeld. Tamara wants to go back to the bar, but the boys convince her that’s not a good move because they don’t know what these demons are capable of.

The four of them approach the demon in the next room, but don’t manage to get much out of him. Without further hesitation, they send this demon straight back to hell, with Tamara doing the honors of exorcising him. Then there were six. They realize that there’s no way out of this that the demons will be coming for them. They must fight and exorcise them all one by one.

With the four of them ready to hunt down these suckers, they suddenly hear Issac’s voice calling out for Tamara from the distance outside. He approaches closer and closer to the house. Bobby keep her calm by telling her it’s not Issac, that one of the demons is possessing his corpse. When Issac approaches the door, Tamara can’t take it anymore and bursts through the door throwing Issac to the ground and stabs him with a wooden spike and then proceeds to exorcise it from Issac’s body.

The five remaining demons enter the house. The demon of Greed makes his way towards Bobby but falls immediately into another Devil’s Trap. Bobby wastes no time exorcising it. Now down to just four demons, the demon of Gluttony takes on Dean, while the remaining three work on Sam. Dean manages to lure the demon of Gluttony into a bathtub full of holy water, knocking her out cold. Sam, however, has his hands full when he fails to traps the other three inside a devil’s trap. Luckily for him, Ruby comes to his rescue slicing the three of them dead with a knife. When Sam asks who she is, she replies “I’m the girl that just saved your ass” and walks out of the room. The big question on his mind is who is this girl and why is she helping him. Remember, the boys haven’t read the spoilers, so they don’t know anything about her yet. Also on everyone’s mind is what kind of knife she’s using, because for the past two seasons, the boys haven’t found any knife that could stab a demon dead.

Next Morning
The boys lay all the dead demons' hosts in a hole, salt them and burn them. The troubling question on everyone’s mind is that is they let out the seven deadly sins, what else did they let out? Tamara and Bobby take off. Sam suggests heading down to Louisiana to visit this hoodoo priest Tamara told him about that might be able to help Dean get out of his demon deal. Dean refuses to go because if they try to trap the crossroads demon in anyway, Sam drops dead. Sam’s about had it and thinks of Dean as being a hypocrite. After how torn apart he was when he found out that John sold his sole for him, that Dean would even think of doing the same thing for Sam. Dean explains to Sam that’s he’s tired and sick of the job. “Sam, I’ve got a year left to live. So what’s say we kill so evil sons of bitches and we raise a little hell?” And on that note, the boys drive off in Impala on their next hunt.
