The episode opens with the Winchesters at a comic shop to investigate a haunting. The owner immediately believes the guys are role-playing and then shows them the series of books known as “Supernatural.”
Shocked these books document everything that has happened over the last four years, and that there are Sam!Girls, Dean!Girls, and even Slash fans, they track down the publisher of the books. Of course, she naturally wary of them, until they prove that they are most certainly the individuals from the books.
The publisher shares the real name of the author: Chuck Shurley.
It’s time to meet Chuck
You guessed it; Chuck is shocked to find out that his characters are real. However, he does have something to share: Lilith will visit Sam and there will be a night of “fiery demonic passion.” While Sam would love nothing more than confronting Lilith, Dean wants them to do the exact opposite of what Chuck says they will do.
That means the Winchesters and Chuck need to place hex bags around the motel room to hide Sam from Lilith. Sam has the chance to find out how much Chuck knows about the demon blood, which makes Chuck question why Sam is even drinking the demon blood.
When Dean realizes that he can’t prevent himself from doing the actions that Chuck predicts, he decides that Chuck is withholding information. Just as Dean is about to attack Chuck, Castiel drops in and shares that Chuck is a prophet and the books will be known as the Winchester Gospels in the future.
