Dean [[WhoYouGonnaCall gets a call]] from Jerry Panowski, an air traffic controller, that John Winchester and Dean had previously helped with a {{poltergeist}}. He tells them about the unexplained plane crash, and they analyze the cockpit voice recorder and hear EVP saying, "No survivors". In actuality, 7 of the more than 100 people aboard the plane survived. The Winchester brothers interview a survivor and hear about the strange passenger who opened the door. They then impersonate Homeland Security agents so they can examine the crash debris and find sulfur on the airplane door.

The pilot who had survived the crash is nervous about taking up another plane, until he is also possessed by the black smoke. He takes up a small plane that crashes 40 minutes into the flight. The Winchester brothers realize that a demon is causing these crashes and is now going after the survivors.
