[flickinmybic.livejournal.com]

- Under the effects of a djinn, Dean is thrust into a “perfect” world in which his mother is alive and his family isn’t subjected to hunting. What he learns, though, is that his relationship with his brother Sam is heavily negatively affected by this change. In addition, all the people the Winchesters had saved over the years are now dead due to their lack of hunting. Dean sees it as unfair that he has to sacrifice his happiness even in this universe. He rescues a young woman being held captive by a djinn and begins to suspect that the same thing is happening to him, and that everything he has experienced in this “better” world has been a hallucination. He guesses that if he kills himself in the hallucination, he would wake up in reality. Taking the risk, he’s right and wakes up during Sam’s rescue attempt. Later, Dean is still contemplative about the life he experienced, unsure if the lives saved are always worth the sacrifice of their own happiness.
- Dean discovers that Sam has gone missing. Mental flashes are sent to him as clues to Sam’s whereabouts- a town called Cold Oak in South Dakota. Dean arrives just in time to see another man stab Sam. Dean holds onto his wounded brother, hoping desperately for there to be some way for this to be untrue. Sam dies in Dean’s arms.
- Distraught after his brother’s death, Dean tracks down a crossroads demon and demands a deal be struck. He had previously been offered 10 years to live in exchange for a favor, but this time the stakes are raised. The demon says Dean can have one year in exchange for his brother to be returned to life. Dean takes the deal.
- Ellen Harvelle reveals a map that depicts a hundred square mile devil’s trap that contains a cemetery. Dean believes the cemetery may be containing something evil, rather than the devil’s trap trying to keep demon’s out. Knowing that full-blooded demons cannot enter the devil’s trap, Sam now understands why he and the other special children were brought into the Yellow Eyed Demon’s game. The man who stabbed him will try to release whatever is in that cemetery. The Yellow Eyed Demon steals the Colt from Dean, but is stopped by the spirit of John Winchester who helps his sons long enough to kill the demon. The crypt is opened, however, and even though Azazel is killed, many more demons have been thrust into the world. Dean confesses the deal that he made for Sam’s life.
- Dean and Sam constantly search for ways to break Dean’s deal. However, Dean reveals to Sam that part of the deal requires that he not find a way to get out of it, else Sam will be killed.
- Dean visits an old hook up named Lisa in hopes of having another bendy weekend with the yoga instructor. Instead, he finds himself crashing her son’s birthday party. The young boy, Ben, bears a striking resemblance in personality to Dean. He can’t help but wonder if the boy is his child, but Lisa insists that this is not the case.
- A cursed Rabbit’s Foot needs destroying, but is sought after by a thief named Bela. She resigns to letting Dean destroy it but first makes off with the money he has won due to the foot’s luck.
- Dean rejects the idea of killing the crossroads demon with the restored Colt, as it could put Sam’s life in danger. Sam attempts anyway and learns that a more powerful demon is in control of Dean’s contract.
- In an uncharacteristic turn of events, Dean shows an interest in celebrating Christmas. Knowing that this is his last year on Earth has a great deal to do with this. Dean reflects on past Christmases which have mattered to him, including Christmas ’91 in which Sam gifted him with an amulet intended for their father. Dean has worn the amulet ever since.
- Dean learns from Ruby that she cannot save him from his hellish fate. She also informs him that demons were humans once, who were stripped of their humanity and identity. She claims that Dean is in for the same fate.
- Dean is berated by a dream version of himself who claims that his father never actually cared for him, and that he can’t escape death or hell. Dean does not inform Sam of what he saw while under the influence of the dream state.
- Dean relives the same day, dying over and over and never remembering it.
