Thirty-five years after his death, the spirit of Peter Sweeney begins to take revenge by killing those close to Bill and Jake. When Sam and Dean arrive at Lake Manitoc, they question Sheriff Devins about Sophie Carlton's drowning. He is unable to tell them anything other than Will Carlton was traumatized, that his mind was playing tricks in him, and that nothing could have dragged Sophie Carlton underwater.
After Sam and Dean learn of Peter Sweeney's drowning and his and Bill Carlton's involvement, Sheriff Devins arrives to see Sam and Dean have unearthed Peter's old bike that was buried in the yard. At the behest of his daughter, Jake confesses his involvement in Peter's drowning. When the spirit of Peter Sweeney tries to drown Lucas, Jake enters the lake and is drowned in his stead, saving his grandson's life.
