The brothers get a phone call from their dad. A fight over whether they should follow their father's orders results in the brothers splitting up: Dean heads to a small town to help solve the disappearances of young couples, while Sam continues searching for their father. While hitchhiking, Sam runs across a young woman named Meg and they strike up a friendship. Meanwhile, Dean discovers that the couples are being sacrificed to [[Characters/SupernaturalGods a Vanir]] by the townsfolk, and is chosen to be the next sacrifice along with a local girl. Having had a change of heart, Sam returns in time to rescue them, and they burn down the sacred tree that kept the Vanir returning. At the end, it's revealed to the audience (though not to the brothers) that Meg is more than she seems: after accepting a ride from a trucker, she slits the man's throat, collects his blood in a goblet and uses it to communicate with an unknown supernatural being.

Sam, at least at [[BitchInSheepsClothing first glance.]] Though it's clear at the end of the episode that Meg was GenreSavvy enough to play with the trope to get close to Sam while actually being far more than she appeared at first glance.

GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Or in this case sacrifice badly. A couple sacrificed each year keeps the blessings going.
