Story

As the Apocalypse draws closer, Sam and Dean Winchester need the final ring required for their plan to stop Lucifer. Their search leads to Crowley, who offers Bobby the location of Death, the fourth Horseman, in exchange for a price no one can pay lightly. While Bobby weighs the cost of helping the brothers, Sam and Dean confront Pestilence, whose deadly virus threatens to overwhelm them. Castiel steps in when the danger becomes impossible to contain, giving the team a chance to continue its pursuit. Dean then meets Death to discuss Lucifer, and the encounter pushes the brothers toward an uneasy alliance that could determine the fate of the world.
