John Winchester raised his two sons Sam and Dean to hunt and kill all things that go "bump in the night" after his wife Mary was murdered by an evil supernatural being when the boys were little. 22 years later the brothers set out on a journey, fighting evil along the way, to find their recently-missing father; when they finally do he reveals he knows what demon killed their mother and has found a way to track and kill it. Meanwhile, Sam develops frightening abilities such as seeing visions of people dying before it actually happens. These visions are somehow connected to the demon that murdered his mother and its mysterious plans that seem to be all about Sam. When their father dies striking a deal with that very same demon, the brothers determine to finish his crusade. But disturbing revelations about Sam's part in the demon's apocalyptic plan are presented when John's dying last words to Dean are revealed.

 "After School Special"

Sam and Dean discover that a spirit haunts one of their old high schools. While investigating the haunting, Dean and Sam relive their high school experiences through flashbacks, recalling how the school bully picked on Sam while Dean was quite popular. They learn that the ghost haunts the school bus and realize the bus driver is the father of Sam's old bully, "Dirk the Jerk." The brothers learn from Dirk's father that he died at age 18 before graduation and had a hard life. After finding that Dirk was cremated and that he is tied to a lock of hair kept on the bus, Sam and Dean confront Dirk while he possesses two people, and Dean burns his hair, destroying Dirk's spirit. Sam visits a teacher who gave him the advice to follow his path in life, but cannot respond when asked if he's happy.
