- Close up on a grave, and a dead man digging his way out of it.
Cut to a dude watching TV and drinking beer in his place. There's a noise outside as the nature channel ominously talks about predators. The man opens the door and looks outside into the dark and stormy night. He sees nothing and closes the door. He sits back down and the door flies open. He closes it and locks it but inside he turns around and comes face to face with a muddy corpse, which soon strangles him.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Sam leaves yet another message for Bobby, who isn't returning their calls. They meet with a guy named Digger who tells them about seeing Clay Thompson kill someone. Clay died five years ago. Digger tells them Clay killed a guy named Benny - who's the one who killed him five years ago.
Sheriff Jodi Mills comes over and introduces herself to Agents Dorfman and Neiderman. She wants to call their supervisor, Sam hands her a card. A phone labeled FBI rings on Bobby's wall, he answers it FBI. But the sheriff recognizes his voice and knows him for his drunk and disorderlies and mail fraud. Busted.
The boys visit Bobby, who says there's no case there.
They roll up to the cemetery. Dean wants to look around before they leave town. Clay Thompson's grave looks fresh. They dig it up and find and empty coffin.
Off to Clay Thompson's house. They poke around in the dark until someone sneaks up on Dean. Dean knocks him down. Other than looking a little pale, the guy doesn't look zombie-like. He says he's Clay Thompson and he killed Benny, but only because Benny killed him five years ago.
They escort Clay out, discussing outside whether or not to kill him.
Suddenly, they're stopped by the sheriff, who orders them to drop their guns. They point out they've just caught a dead killer for her, but she says that gives them no right to shoot him. She lets him go.
In jail, they assume the zombies are paying her off. They see her talking to Bobby. Soon, they're let go with Bobby. He tells them five days ago the sheriff came to him because the dead started rising all over town. But he's got it until control. "There are zombies, and then there are zombies," Bobby says.
He takes them home to meet his wife, Karen. His dead wife.
She cooks them apple pie. With her out of the room, he tells them he tested her every way he ever learned and she had no reaction to any of their tests. She didn't crawl out of her coffin, he had her cremated. All the dead, 15 or 20, rose from the same cemetery - including sheriff Mills' son.
Bobby reads from Revelation, the part about Death. "Awesome, another horseman. Must be Thursday," Dean says.
Dean tells Bobby he knows what they have to do. She doesn't remember being possessed or him having to kill her. He listens to her hum while she cooks, just like old times.
Bobby argues that nothing in Revelation says the dead rising is bad.He begs them to leave her alone.
Back at the diner, Dean thinks they have to kill her, while Sam is more sympathetic.
Dean waits outside of Bobby's place, contemplating. Karen surprises him and invites him in for pie.
Sam visits the sheriff's house and sees her reading a book to her young undead son with her husband, a happy family.
Back at Bobby's Dean sees that Karen has baked about 20 pies. She hasn't been sleeping. He says that must be because she's dead. She knows he's a hunter and doesn't trust her. She remembers everything about the demon and Bobby having to kill her. But she doesn't want to upset Bobby by telling him that.
Sam visits another undead and sees blood on the doorstep. He lets himself in. There's a gross-looking zombie woman with bloody sores on her face lying on a couch. She calls him closer as she drools vomit and hacks. He leans in and she flings him across the room and jumps on him, drooling goo. Pinned on his back, Sam reaches for his gun and blasts her zombie head off.
The boys go back to Bobby to tell him the zombies are turning. He pulls out a gun and tells them to leave, saying he'll deal with Karen if he has to.
They leave and Dean says he has to go back to kill Karen. Sam heads for town, hoping to convince the sheriff to help.
At her house, her son is looking more dead and feeling sick. He says he's hungry and he has a temperature of 111. She makes him soup.
At Bobby's, Karen falls over, not well either. She's burning up and tells Bobby she needs something to eat. He knows this is bad.
Jodi's on the phone with the doctor when she hears a noise from the other room. She goes to check on her husband and sees a trail of blood and her son feasting on his corpse. Sam busts in and drags her out, she realizes that wasn't her son.
She says they can keep people safe in the jail. Sam goes back inside to kill her zombie son.
Bobby sits at his wife's bedside. She tells him she can feel that she's turning. She tells him to kill her. He says no, so she tells him she remembers everything. Bobby says he can't kill her again.
She tells him about a thin man at the grave when she came back, who said to give Bobby a message.
Dean comes in the front door and immediately hears a gun shot.
He rushes in to see Bobby holding his dead-again wife's hand, and her lying with a shot through her skull.
At the jail, the living arm up, but no zombies come.
Dean packs his trunk as he and Bobby prepare to head out. They hear a noise in the junkyard. Dean goes to check it out and gets jumped by a zombie.
Dean grabs for his gun, but the zombie has him pinned. Bobby, from his wheelchair, plays zombie shooting gallery as they run at him. Dean finally gets his gun back and blasts his zombie attacker. Bobby takes out another, and another until one comes up behind him and knocks him out of his chair. Dean returns and blasts it.
They run back for the house, but they're low on ammo because they just packed it in the car. The zombies keep rushing the house, and Bobby says he thinks he knows what's going on. They're busting in windows and coming after Bobby.
Dean and Bobby lock themselves in a closet as the zombies pound on the door. Right after Dean announces the zombies can't pick a lock, they do and get the door open. Dean fends them off with his gun butt but isn't doing very well. Then Sam and the sheriff appear and blast them one by one.
The boys and the sheriff burn all the bodies at the cemetery -- all but one.
Bobby sits alone by a fire in the scrap yard. The boys join him. He apologizes to them. "She was the love of my life, how many times do I gotta kill her?" he says.
He tells them he knows why Death was in town - he was there for Bobby because he's been helping the boys. Sam asks Bobby if he's going to be ok.
The look on his face doesn't scream yes.
