Episodes

1998

Sam sees Amy in a library where he is doing research for John and Dean who are on a hunt. He approaches Amy and tries to talk to her but she says she isn't allowed to talk to boys. When leaving the library, Sam intervenes when she is being harassed by two other boys. At her home, Sam and Amy bond over their nomadic lifestyles, and feeling like an outsider. Amy reveals that her mother is very strict, and can be cruel, and wants Amy to be like her -- which resonates with Sam's relationship with his dad. They share a kiss, but then Amy's mom returns home. Amy makes Sam hide, as her mom tells her they need to leave town, saying they are being pursued by "a couple of pros in a piece of crap Impala." While her mother is getting the car ready, Sam spots a human brain in a jar and confronts Amy about her mother being the monster that his father and brother are hunting. Sam refuses to hurt her, and is leaving as Amy's mother returns and attacks him. Amy intervenes and kills her mother, saving Sam's life. Sam lets her leave, although he turns down her invitation to go with her.

Amy has a young son named Jacob. She is working as a mortician to obtain the pituitary glands that kitsunes feed on from dead human bodies. However, her son becomes sick, and only fresh brains will heal him. Amy kills three people and the fresh brains cure her son. Sam finds details of the killings in a local paper, and examines the body of the latest victim -- who has had part of his brain removed. Sam recognizes the killing style and recalls his meeting with Amy in '98. Sam tracks Amy down, and she pleads her case with him, how it was an extraordinary situation, and she is trying to live a normal life. Remembering that she killed her mother to save him, Sam lets her live. After Dean catches up with him, Sam reveals the whole story. Later, unbeknownst to Sam, Dean tracks Amy to her motel room and kills her. Jacob is standing in the doorway and has witnessed the murder of his mother. Dean tells him that if he ever kills anyone, Dean will come after him. Jacob replies, "The only person I'm going to kill -- is you."

While on trial, Osiris gives Dean the option of whether or not to call the last witness to the stand to give Dean more time to not feel guilt. Afraid that the witness will be Amy, Dean tells Osiris to skip the witness and move on to the verdict.

The Leviathan wearing Dean's shape has captured Sam, and attempts to torment him with Dean's thoughts. The Leviathan eventually reveals to Sam that Dean secretly killed Amy, which horrifies him.

Sam tells Dean he understands why he killed Amy. He says he knows Dean hasn't been sleeping, and is drinking too much, and he thinks it's because Dean feels regret for lying to him.

While Dean defends Benny, Sam questions how he could let him live as opposed to the time Dean killed Amy. Benny drinks donated blood purchased on the black market so he doesn't have to kill people as opposed to Amy who killed four people to save her son.
