When breaking An honor student named Kevin Tran practices his cello before talking on the phone to his girlfriend about college applications, studying, and retaking his SATs. Meanwhile, the Winchesters prepare to work cracking open the clay block slab of rock they stole from Dick Roman, Roman. When they hit it, thunder and lightning happen. When they succeed in removing a tablet from the slab, Kevin is hit by lightning, and his eyes glow yellow. Meanwhile, as Meg reads a magazine, Cas emerges from his catatonia.

Kevin gets a supportive message from his mom, but he realizes that he’s been sleeping through the SATs, but as he scrambles, his eyes glow yellow. The Winchesters listen to a radio report about weird weather events and Sam reads that every woman within a few hundred miles went into labor. They discuss going to Rufus’s cabin, but Meg calls, however, so they decide to go to see Cas.

Kevin drives wildly, and his girlfriend calls frantically wondering why he missed everything that day. In a daze, he says he’s claiming his birthright and has to keep going. She panics.

The Winchesters discuss what shape they think Cas will be in and speculate it won’t be pretty. Meg meets them and shows them Cas. Cas is wearing his overcoat over his inmate pajamas and asks Dean to pull his finger. Dean does, and the lights go out. [[CloudCuckoolander Cas giggles]]. Later, the Winchesters try and question him but he babbles about bees. Meg says he’s been like the “naked guy at the rave” ever since he woke up, totally useless. Cas remarks her thorny pain is beautiful, and he also says he heard a ping that awakened him. They show him the tablet and Cas recognizes it as God’s Word. Cas explains the tablet was written by Metatron, who is an angel and The Scribe of God. Meg argues with the brothers, upsetting Cas. He disappears and the tablet shatters into three pieces on the floor. Meg says he’s probably just gone to the day room because he doesn’t like conflict.

Dean goes to the dayroom. Meg is so annoyed that Sam won’t give her information, she says she’s going to get Cas and leaves the room, saying that Cas will leave with his caretaker. While they are in the hall, Kevin takes the tablet and runs. Sam and Meg catch him, and she demands to know who or what he is. He replies that he’s Kevin Tran and he’s in advanced placement begs them not to kill him. Sam tries to take the tablet from him, but he can’t let go.

Dean has an intense conversation with Cas in the dayroom, in which Dean is grateful that Cas took on Sam’s mental burden but furious about Cas’s actions. Cas sets up the board game Sorry! and invites Dean to play. Cas babbles on about evolution and conflict and insists they play the game. A frustrated Dean wants Cas to help them find Metatron and knocks the game off the table.

Sam and Meg question Kevin, who doesn’t know what the tablet is but when he picks it up, it repairs itself. Kevin can read the tablet, though it is difficult for him. He reads about the leviathans and realizes they are real. He’s also terrified by Meg’s black eyes just as angels appear. The angels announce they are taking the prophet and killing Meg and Sam. Cas arrives and babbles to a furious and confused Hester before Dean banishes the angels with a sigil, and Kevin freaks out.

Later, Kevin tries to come to terms with his situation as Dean tries to get information from him about the Leviathan. They decide to go to Rufus’s cabin so Kevin can translate the tablet, and on the way, they realize there is a search for Kevin. Meg spies a couple of demons.

In the car, Kevin wakes up and is still freaked out. Cas calls from a dog track in Perth, and soon teleports into the car, further freaking out Kevin. Cas explains that the angels are required to take the keeper of god’s word to the desert.

At Rufus’s cabin, Kevin begins to read. Sam talks to Cas, wondering if he sees Lucifer. Cas says he did at first but now he sees everything. Cas says the weight of all his mistakes was going to kill him until he took on Sam’s burden. Sam tells Cas he realizes Cas was only trying to help. Sam promises they’ll help him get better, which confuses Cas. Kevin has a panic attack and Dean helps him. Dean tells him it sucks to be a chosen one.

Meg offers the Winchesters and Castiel to the two demons she saw earlier, but she double-crosses them and kills them. She returns to the Winchesters and says she’s loyal to a cause and her cause is to kill Crowley. When the angels arrive, Cas’s attempts to make peace infuriate Hester, and she tries to kill Cas but Meg kills her first. Inias, Hester's second, agrees to take Kevin to his house and watch over him there as Kevin gives a translation to
