Episode 97 : Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

Sam and Dean investigate Bobby’s hometown where the dead are rising from the grave, but instead of attacking humans they are happily reuniting with their families. The brothers turn to Bobby for help, but he tells them not to worry about it and to leave town. Suspicious, Dean investigates further and comes face to face with Bobby’s dead wife, who seems to have no memory of what has happened to her. Once the zombies start turning evil, the boys urge Bobby to kill his wife before she kills him. Bobby refuses because he wants to spend a few happy hours with his resurrected wife and says that as soon as she turns evil he will take care of it. Shortly after, his wife shows signs of becoming a flesh-eating zombie. Weakened by the disease, she lays down to rest and tells Bobby that she actually remembers her demonic possession and death. She also delivers a message from Death. After killing her, Bobby helps the brothers fight off the zombies. They succeed and rid the town of the plague. In the end, Bobby reveals that the rise of the dead took place in his hometown because Death wanted to break his spirit since he stands in the way of Lucifer’s plans.
