Though Ethan (Paul Wesley) and his father John (Thomas Hadden Church) make it out of the crash with minor injuries, a dying Adam ( Wes Bentley) is in a coma. He is approached by a reaper (Gina Carono) who tries to take his soul. She reveals that if he refuses to move on, he will one day become a l spirit seeking revenge. Meanwhile Ethan  tries without success to save his brother, so John contacts Kal-Zor and offers to make a deal; in exchange for saving Adam's life : he will give up his own life, his immortal soul, and the mystical colt gun. Adam is saved before he could die, but after making peace with his sons, John dies.
#After cremating their father's body, Adam, Ethan and P.J refuse to discuss his death. Instead, they head back to work, and track an old message on John's phone to Harvelle's Roadhouse, a bar frequented by hunters. There they meet Ellen Darville (Jeri Ryan), an old friend of John's, and her daughter Jo (Kate Mara)  As the group's resident genius, Aaron ( Chad Lindberg) , attempts to analyze John's research on Kal-Zor , the brothers investigate the murders of visitors to a traveling carnival, currently near Baltimore. They discover that a Rakshasa —a demon of Hindu mythology —has been taking the form of a clown and tricking children into inviting it into their homes so that it can eat their parents. When not feeding, it takes the form of a blind knife thrower at the carnival. The brothers kill it with a brass pipe. Adam later takes out his anger at his father's death on the impala , one of his most prized possessions.
#Having repaired the Impala, the brothers investigate a series of decapitations and cattle mutilations in Montana , and find that the last victim was a vampire. They then run into vampire hunter Greg Walker (Sterling K. Brown) , who Ellen warns is dangerous. Ethan and P.J are later, captured by a group of vampires, and their leader Lenora (Amber Benson) reveals to him that they have reformed, feeding only on cattle. After being released unharmed, Ethan tries to convince his brother that the vampires should be left alone. However, when they arrive at the vampire's hideout, they find that Greg has already captured Lenora. They try to convince Greg not to kill her, but he cuts Ethan's arm to tempt the vampire. When Lenora resists the temptation, the brothers overpower him. As Adam ties Greg up, Ethan takes Lenora to safety. Adam later, admits to Ethan  that he was wrong about the vampires.
#As Ethan buries their father's favorite dog tags at their mother's grave, Adam's  suspicions are aroused when they notice dead plants over the nearby grave of the recently deceased young woman Angela Mason ( Christina Ricci). They soon discover that the woman's cheating boyfriend was murdered the previous night. Ethan and Adam dig up her grave and find the coffin empty. They deduce that her close friend Neil ( Aaron Paul), who was secretly in love with her, resurrected her as a Zombie. Having killed her boyfriend, her next target is her roommate, with whom her boyfriend had been cheating. However, Adam and Ethan  save the woman and kill the zombie with a silver stake. Adam later  apologizes to Ethan  for his recent behavior, and reveals he has had trouble coping with his guilt over their father's death.
#When Ethan has a vision of a man committing a murder-suicide, Ash and P.J help  the brothers track down Andrew Gallagher  (Gabriel Tigerman), whose mother was killed in the same manner as their own mother—dying in a blur like demon attack. They head to Ohio, and Ethan is able to stop the murder , although the man still ends up killing himself. The brothers later locate Andrew , and learn that he has mind-control abilities. They believe that Andrew  forced the man to commit suicide. However, Ethan has another vision of a woman's suicide, and it comes to pass while they are talking to Andrew, exonerating him. After learning that Andrew was adopted and that the woman who killed herself is his biological mother, they conduct research and discover that he has a twin brother named Ansan (Elias Toufexis)  that he never knew about. Ansen has been using the same ability out of anger to kill those connected to the adoption that separated them. He targets Andrew's girlfriend, and the Barnes rush to save her. However, Andrew ends up killing his twin to save Adam, making Ethan realize that every child connected to Kal-Zor  seems to end up becoming a killer. After they return to the Roadhouse, Ash reveals that Ansen's adoptive mother did not die when he was an infant, meaning not every psychic child follows a traceable pattern.
#When Ellen will not allow Jo to investigate mysterious disappearances of blonde women in an apartment building, Adam and Ethan take the case, and head back to Seattle.  However, Jo secretly follows them and offers to help. They find residue in the latest victim's apartment and realize that a ghost is behind the kidnappings. Jo's extensive research shows that America's Jack the Ripper  had been executed and buried on the location where the apartment building was later built. Another woman soon vanishes, so the three rush to find a way to save her. Jo is captured by the spirit. The brothers find the ghost's lair in the sewer system under the building and free Jo and the other woman. They then trap the spirit within a ring of salt—a deterrent of ghosts—and seal the chamber's entrance with concrete as they can't destroy the spirit. After Jo is reunited with her mother, an angry Ellen reveals that Jo's father died while on a hunt with John Barnes.
#The brothers investigate the mysterious murders of a lawyer and his wife in Washington D.C , but are soon arrested, but with Adam's  previous record—having been framed for attempted murder by a shape-shifter—coming back to haunt him. However, Ethan manages to escape. One of the detectives, Linda Danvers (Linda Blair) , sees an apparition of a murdered woman, and on Adam's  insistence, helps Ethan discover that the woman is a missing heroin dealer who had been working as a police informant. To put the spirit to rest, they must burn her body, but the woman appears and leads them to it, hidden within a wall. A necklace on the body points to Linda's partner, Detective Pete Garrick ( David Harewood) , as being the woman's murderer. Ethan  realizes that the woman's spirit was actually a death omen warning Linda.  Meanwhile, Pete takes Adam  from the police station, and drives him into the woods to kill him. Ethan and Linda are able to track them down, and Pete admits to killing the woman after convincing her to sell heroin that he had stolen from the property room at the station, and having later killed the lawyer who laundered the money and his wife who knew too much. The spirit returns and distracts him long enough for Linda  to kill him, then disappears. Linda lets the brothers go so that they can continue saving people.
#Adam and Ethan  investigate a suicide and believes a black dog may be involved. After research, they find that the man worked at a bar ten years earlier, but suddenly became an overnight success in architecture. They eventually realize that the dog was a hellhound sent to collect his soul, the man having made a demonic pact to gain his talent. However, the demon also made deals with other people, so the brothers track down one of them, learning that he gave up his soul to cure his wife of cancer. As Ethan  stays behind to protect the man from the hellhound, Adam summons the demon at a crossroads  and tricks it into stepping into a devil's trap—a mystical symbol that contains a demon and strips it of its power when the demon is inside of it. When the demon refuses to relent, Adam starts an exorcism.  Eventually, in exchange for her freedom, the demon relents and releases the man from his deal. Before she leaves, she taunts Adam about his father's deal, revealing that John is suffering in Hell.
#After Ethan  has a premonition of Adam killing an innocent man, the brothers head to Rivergrove, Oregon to investigate. There, Ethan notices the word "ASMORIS"  carved into a pole, reminding him of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. They soon find that all forms of communication have been shut down, and extremely violent townspeople are blocking the roads out. They go to a local doctor's office, where a doctor finds that the blood of the violent people has been infected by a virus containing sulfur, leading Ethan to believe his father's theory of Asmoris  being a demonic plague. A woman in the office suddenly turns violent and attacks Ethan. She infects him with her blood before Adam kills her. Ethan tries to kill himself, but Adam stops him. Moments later, it is learned that all of the infected people have suddenly vanished, leaving the town deserted. Ethan has his blood tested , and finds out that he was not infected. After the brothers leave town, one of the survivors is revealed to be a demon; it contacts someone to inform him that Ethan is immune to the virus, "as expected." After leaving, Adam pulls to the side of the road and finally starts to reveal to Ethan  what their father told him before dying.
#Adam reveals that before their father died, he told him that he has to save Ethan if he can , or else kill him.

The two steal Scott's file from a psychiatrist, and learn that he spoke to Kal-Zor and was told about an army of psychic children being used in an upcoming war. The vampire hunter, Greg Walker , who learned from a demon about Kal-Zor's plans, then tries to kill Ethan, but Adam stops him just in time, though ending up his prisoner. Ethan remembers Ava's vision, and avoids explosive traps set by Greg. He saves Adam , and police arrest Greg due to an 'anonymous call' made by Ethan. The brothers later go to check on Ava back in her hometown of Kentucky, Illinois , but find her fiancé dead, with sulfur on the windowsill pointing to a demonic abduction.

With his findings, the brothers instead realize that a shapeshifter is behind it all. Predicting that the next incident will occur at a bank, Adam and Ethan pose as security workers to infiltrate the building, and eventually discover that the shapeshifter has taken the form of the bank's manager. However, before they can act, Ron arrives and takes everyone hostage. The brothers convince him that they believe his theory, and move everyone into the vault so that they can locate the shapeshifter.

Ethan is later visited by the angel, who orders him to kill an evil man. While Adam tracks the angel's target to make sure that the man does not do anything bad, Ethan summons the spirit of the priest.

The hunters are there to meet him, but Jake subdues them long enough to use the Colt as a key to open a mausoleum. Ethan then shoots Jake in the back, and finishes him off with multiple shots as he begs for mercy. As the mausoleum doors begin to open, they realize that it is a Devil's Gate —a doorway to Hell. A rush of demons escape and break the iron railway lines of the devil's trap, allowing Kal-Zor to enter. As Ellen and Mitch try to close the gateway, Adam and Ethan take the colt to confront Kal-Zor. Unfortunately, the demon catches them by surprise and takes the gun. He taunts Adam's demonic pact and questions if what came back was "one hundred percent pure "Ethan. Kal-Zor prepares to kill them, but the escaped spirit of John Barnes grabs him. This distraction allows Adam to take back the Colt and shoot the demon in the heart, finally killing him. As Mitch and and Ellen manage to close the gates, John's spirit moves on. However, while Kal-Zor is now dead , hundreds of other demons escaped, an army's worth and their work is not done yet.
