In Savannah, the group finds the files on the Akrida gone, but signs of Samuel having been present, including a newspaper clipping directing them to a case in Topeka, Kansas. Upon returning home, John clashes with his mother over his hunting and storms off. In Topeka, kids have begun vanishing from a hippie commune, taken by a shapeshifting monster. Mary's desperation to solve the case and resume the search for Samuel leads her to clash with the others, putting John in danger when the monster assumes the form of Millie and kidnaps him. The group identifies it as La Tunda, an abusive mother who was transformed into a monster and which consumes disobedient children. Locating La Tunda's lair, they rescue her victims and kill La Tunda with a piece of her own wooden leg. John reconciles with his mother while Ada uses a potion and automatic writing to access the echoes of the demon that had possessed her, searching for information on the other demon that the group had fought in the hopes that it will have information on the Akrida and the box. At the same time, the Akrida leader enters La Tunda's lair, absorbs a piece of her essence into a vial and is followed by several Akrida as it leaves. | ||||||||

Mary learns from her movie date, a reporter named Kyle Reed, that there has been a number of similar veteran deaths across the country. The case forces John and Carlos to confront their trauma from the Vietnam War while Mary and Lata confront their grief over the loss of Mary's cousin Maggie. It's discovered that the culprit is Mars Neto, a Celtiberian deity who posed as one of the group members. Mars reveals that a war is coming with the Akrida and that he believes that John, as both a hunter and a soldier, could be sharpened into a powerful weapon to defeat them. As John fights Mars, Mary, Lata and Millie find and destroy Mars' amphora, rendering him vulnerable and allowing John to kill him. However, the dying Mars tells John that he is now ready for the war with the Akrida.

The gang must save Mary's old family friend Tracy Gellar, whom she admires for having successfully retired from the hunting life, from a soucouyant that's been killing off former members of Tracy's band of hunters. Meanwhile, John and Mary argue about John's reluctance to talk about what happened with Mars Neto and his using his determination to keep Mary alive long enough for her to retire as an excuse to throw himself into hunting and avoid his own issues. The soucouyant turns out to be possessed by the ghost of hunter Mac, a member of Tracy's group who was tricked into a death trap by the others when he became addicted to dark magic and they feared he was going to turn on them. Mac leaves the soucouyant's body and possesses John in order to try to kill Tracy. By sharing details about her own past and why she became a pacifist, Lata manages to talk Mac into stopping his quest for vengeance and moving on. Afterwards, John asks Lata for help controlling his own anger and she begins to teach him how to meditate. They are interrupted when Carlos and Mary announce that they've located the radio tower being used by the Akrida to broadcast the signal that's luring rare monsters to Kansas. | ||||||||

The Monster Club finds the Akrida's radio tower abandoned and signs that Samuel has been captured and Roxy demands an exchange of the box for Samuel. Ada finds files on the box in another abandoned Men of Letters office in Ann Arbor, Michigan with the notes having been written by Henry Winchester. The notes, deciphered by Millie, reveal that the box is actually the Ostium, a portal that can banish monsters from this plane of existence as well as the fact that the Akrida are all connected to their queen. If the queen is banished back to the Akrida's universe, the others will all die. The group performs a seance to summon Henry's ghost for more information and he reveals how the box can be recharged while getting to say the goodbye to his wife and son that he never had before. Assaulting Roxy's new base, Mary and John succeed in banishing the Akrida leader with the Ostium, but it fails to affect the other Akrida, revealing that Roxy wasn't actually their queen. Cornered, John and Mary kiss before an injured Samuel uses the Ostium to banish the rest of the attacking Akrida. Throughout these events, the Akrida's possessed servants dig for what is revealed to be the Akrida queen. Finding her, the servants bring the queen the monster essences, promising to make the queen strong again so that she can bring the others and the Akrida can make this world their own. | ||||||||

At the same time, Carlos and Lata discover that Carlos' old friend Jericho has made a deal with Loki (Richard Speight Jr.) who demands first Jericho and then Carlos sacrifice innocent people to save themselves. After Carlos selflessly refuses to sacrifice his friends, Loki is trapped in his own indestructible hand mirror as a consequence of his defeat. Samuel leaves to hunt down magic possibly capable of stopping the Akrida with Ada, leaving the Monster Club to track down the Akrida Queen, while Mary finally decides to be with John. Amongst Samuel's light-damaged reconnaissance photos, John spots a picture of the man who gave him Henry's letter.

In 1957, Dorothea Wilcox is attacked by an Akrida puppet and put into a vegetative state. In the present, the Akrida decide to focus their efforts on using the Monster Club to find Dean Winchester who they know brought the hunters together to stop them. After failing to find any sign of the Akrida queen at the locations that Samuel had previously scouted, Carlos and Lata approach Rockin' Roxy for help, learning that Roxy's life was ruined by her ordeal. Using a form of magical hypnosis taught to her by Tony Monroe, Lata is able to help Roxy recall her possession and the location of the Akrida queen. Although Lata offers to erase Roxy's memories of her possession, Roxy chooses not to, wanting to remember that her ordeal helped to stop the Akrida. At the location indicated by Roxy, Carlos and Lata spot several Akrida puppets and realize that they've found the queen. John and Mary are approached by a man claiming to be retired Man of Letters Porter Hobbes who offers them a way to stop the Akrida, revealing that although the Akrida had previously been repelled in 1957, several remained hidden on Earth, including the queen, and they presumably orchestrated the destruction of the Men of Letters. However, the two eventually discover that he's actually Jack Wilcox who was kicked out of the order for human experimentation after Henry exposed him. Jack intends to transfer his and Dorothea's consciousnesses into John and Mary's bodies, but he dies in the fight that follows while Dorothea's life support is disconnected. Returning home, John is ambushed by Kyle, who kills himself and frames John for his murder as part of the Akrida's plans. | ||||||||

While trying to find information about the mysterious man in the photo, Dean, The Monster Club finds an article about the mysterious disappearance of a teen, Wally, at a carnival. They later find a link between various disappearances, including Wally's, to Limbo the Clown who traps his victims as part of his clown troupe. The group discovers that during the Great Depression, Limbo had made a deal with an occultist to be perpetually happy after losing everything and falling into a depression of his own. They work with Clarence who has been searching for his brother Roger. Limbo took Roger 30 years ago after Clarence took him to a carnival after their parents died. The group realize that Limbo is targeting people who are going through the lowest points of their lives, with the promise to never feel pain or sorrow ever again, turning them into clowns like himself. During this time, Mary and John start fighting about how Mary is using hunting to avoid her fears of facing the future while John is using their relationship to ignore his own troubles, making them vulnerable to Limbo. Both Mary and John fall victim to Limbo's transformation, while Carlos and Lata end up trapped in a clown car that turns out to have Roger in the backseat. Carlos talks to Roger in an effort to get him to embrace reality. When Roger learns that his brother has spent all this time looking for him and desperately wants him back, he breaks the spell by crying for his brother. This causes Limbo to explode and his victims are freed. Roger is reunited with an overjoyed Clarence, and Wally is reunited with his parents. Mary and John recognize that they have been avoiding their problems and reconcile before Millie arrives with the news that she and Betty found a witness who has cleared John of Kyle's murder. At the same time, Ada's search for magic capable of stopping the Akrida leads her to Rowena who offers to trade the magic for the demon that Ada had trapped, intending to torture it for information on Crowley. After testing Ada's magical abilities, Rowena invites Ada to join her coven and provides Ada with a crystal that can kill the Akrida Queen when it is powered by a piece of Ada's own soul. Rowena reveals that the queen will use a planetary alignment to open her portal and Lata discovers that the alignment has already begun. | ||||||||

In a flashback, after John returns from Vietnam, he is given Henry's letter by Dean who is hunting the Akrida with Bobby Singer. A hunter named Joan Hopkins reveals herself to be the Akrida Queen who, in the 1600s, was driven insane by hunting and consuming monster essences and, convinced that humanity needed to be destroyed, was banished from the world as she couldn't be killed. After Lata is possessed by an Akrida, Ada sacrifices the magic that Rowena gave to her in order to save her friend's life. As John, Carlos and Samuel attempt to stop Joan from opening her portal, the others use the Ostium to try to bring back Dean who was banished by Joan. They succeed in bringing back the Impala which Mary is able to kill Joan with as the car is not of their world, destroying the Akrida as well. Dean rescues Mary from Joan's portal and reveals that the Monster Club is in an alternate universe. While driving through Heaven after his death, Dean had taken a detour through the multiverse looking for a world where his family got a happy ending, only to find the Akrida who were created by Chuck as a failsafe in case of his defeat. With the Akrida threatening Sam's safety as well, Dean defied Jack's orders about no interference to stop them. Before departing with Jack and Bobby, Dean gives his parents his hunter's journal to help guide them and The Colt in case they ever encounter Azazel. When they ask his name, Dean hesitates before giving them a fake name. He then vanishes with Jack and Bobby to return to Heaven. In the aftermath, John and Mary set off to figure out their future together while their friends continue hunting. |
