(December 2022) (Learn how and when to remove this message) On March 23, 1972, John Winchester returns home to Lawrence, Kansas from the Vietnam War, where he meets Mary Campbell, whose father Samuel has recently disappeared. Having received a letter from his own long-missing father Henry via a mysterious man prior to the episode's start, John is drawn to an abandoned Men of Letters clubhouse (an organization that fought the supernatural using arcane knowledge rather than brute force) where Mary saves him from a demon. Introduced to the world of the supernatural, John learns that his father was a Man of Letters and that the Campbells are monster hunters, and joins Mary's search for Samuel, who was looking for a magical box created by the MOL that can trap and destroy monsters. With the help of Mary's friends Latika and Carlos, they track the box to a New Orleans cemetery where they face both a loup-garou watchdog set by the MOL and a demon possessing Ada Monroe. While John kills the monster, the others are able to use the box to exorcise and destroy the demon. In the aftermath, Ada explains that the box is the only thing that can kill the Akrida, monsters from another world that seek to invade Earth. With the Men of Letters gone and unable to stop them, Samuel was seeking the box to stop a coming invasion. John learns that his mother Millie knew Henry was a Man of Letters and kept this from him. Deciding to become a hunter, he joins the others in traveling to Savannah, Georgia in pursuit of another lead. Narrating these events, Dean Winchester reveals that, unbeknownst to the group, the Akrida are a threat to all of existence and he intends to continue searching for more information on this lost chapter of his parents' lives. |||||||

| In Savannah, the group finds the MOL files on the Akrida gone, but signs of Samuel having been present, including several dispatched zombies and 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 commune, taken by a shapeshifting monster, so the four young hunters go undercover as hippies. Mary's desperation to put the case to bed 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. Mary makes up with the others, admitting that she should take the rest of her team's input into account contrary to the example by her father. 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 locust-like Akrida as it leaves. |||||||

(December 2022) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Mary's young neighbor Carrie whom she sometimes babysits is abducted, leading Mary, John and Lata on a search for her while Ada and Carlos hunt for the partner of the demon that had possessed Ada. The demon reveals that he and his partner, convinced that the Akrida can't be stopped even with the box, had made a deal to trade the box for their lives. However, he doesn't know anything about how the box itself works or about the Akrida aside from the fact that the Akrida leader has taken a human vessel. Rather than exorcise the demon, Ada magically traps him in a bonsai tree. Mary and John explain to Carrie's brother Ford what they do, and he coins the name "Monster Club" for their group. After Ford is also abducted, it's discovered that the culprit is Bori Baba, an Indian boogeyman who lures children in using items that they are seeking. Mary enters Bori Baba's bag to rescue the children while Lata learns from an estranged relative that the victims must destroy the items that they are seeking in order to be free. John is able to communicate this to Mary using a CB radio, forcing her to face her fears of life after hunting. When the monster follows them out, John is able to kill it and Carrie and Ford are reunited with their mom. During this time, John is reunited and makes amends with his ex-fiancée Betty, who has become a cop, while Mary enjoys a date at the movies. The appearance of La Tunda and Bori Baba, two rare monsters from far-flung parts of the world, worries the group about the implications while an Akrida brings Bori Baba's bag to its leader, who absorbs a piece of the monster's essence as she did with La Tunda. The Akrida leader is revealed to be possessing Rockin' Roxy, a local DJ. |||||||

It's discovered that the veterans' killer 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.

(December 2022) (Learn how and when to remove this message) The Monster Club investigate a series of strange deaths that they believe to be the work of a dreamwalking djinn. At an abandoned warehouse, the hunters encounter Tony, a half-djinn who is Ada's estranged son from her relationship with a djinn named Ali who was killed by hunters. While the rest go off to search for leads, Ada and Carlos stay behind to confront Tony. However, Tony confronts Ada in a dream. Still angry about her lying to him about his dad for years, and hurt that she thinks he is killing people, he informs Ada that he has actually been using his djinn abilities to help people face their fears and heal, while only feeding from their minds enough to get by. He reveals that the Akrida are actually responsible, having encountered one in the mind of one of the victims while trying to help him, and that he was lured to the town by a strange sound that only monsters can hear. The team learns that victims were all injected with a neurotoxin that allowed the Akrida to control their bodies and ultimately proved fatal to them. While protecting the next intended victim, whose name Tony passed along to Ada, Mary is attacked by an Akrida and injected with the toxin. Ada convinces Tony to use his dreamwalking powers to help John enter Mary's mind, where she faces the trauma of the night that her parents told a five-year old Mary that she would grow up to hunt monsters, allowing her to destroy the Akrida stingers. In the aftermath, Tony reveals that the Akrida are collecting the essence of rare monsters and the group deduces that the victims are all connected to a radio tower project that the Akrida are using to broadcast a signal to draw the monsters in. Having finally reconciled with Tony, Ada decides to leave with him to make sure he gets to a safe place far away from the Akrida. From records of the project, they identify Rockin' Roxy as the Akrida leader. Another Akrida warns Roxy that Mary has failed to fall under their control, but she is unconcerned, believing that the Akrida will get the hunters the way that they want eventually. Throughout these events, John continues to develop romantic feelings for Mary, but he chooses not to reveal them in favor of encouraging Mary to follow her dream of leaving town to find a new life after she eventually quits hunting. |||||||

| 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. Lata introduces the group to Anton, a taxidermist friend of hers who examines monster bodies, and Carlos is immediately smitten. 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 as Tracy apologizes for not trying harder to help him. Afterwards, Tracy decides to resume hunting and John asks Lata for help controlling his own anger. She begins to teach him how to meditate, but 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. |||||||

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.

| In a flashback, after John returns from Vietnam, he is given Henry's letter by Dean, who is hunting the Akrida with Bobby Singer. In the present, a hunter named Joan Hopkins contacts Samuel Campbell and reveals herself to be the Akrida Queen. The last of a long line of hunters, Joan was driven insane in the 1600s by losing her family and loved ones and consuming monster essences, becoming convinced that humanity needed to be destroyed to prevent more hunters sacrificing themselves saving them. The Men of Letters banished her from the world as she couldn't be killed, and she ended up in the Akrida's dimension, where she became their queen. The Monster Club refuse Joan's offer of joining forces with her. After Lata is possessed by an Akrida who threatens to make her kill herself as this same Akrida did to Kyle, Ada sacrifices the magic Rowena gave her in order to kill it and 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, with which Mary is able to run over and kill Joan 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 to the one he was born in. 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. As the Akrida would eventually pose a threat to Sam's safety in their home universe as well, Dean defied Jack Kline's orders about non-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 a certain yellow-eyed demon (Azazel, who killed Mary and set John on a lifelong path of vengeance in the backstory of Supernatural). When they ask his name, Dean hesitates before giving them a fake name, James Hetfield. He then vanishes with Jack and Bobby to return to Heaven. In the aftermath, Lata finds a way to restore Ada's soul and John and Mary set off to figure out their future together while their friends continue hunting. |||||||
