Back on set, Raphael's angelic hitman Virgil (Carlos Sanz) appears from the Winchester's reality and tries to vanquish Dean with his angel powers. However, he, too, is devoid of powers in this reality, so Sam and Dean are able to physically attack and subdue him. In time, the rest of the crew intervenes, however, and during the resulting scuffle Virgil pickpockets the key Balthazar gave Sam before running away. After this incident, the crew of Supernatural is suspicious because "Jared" and "Jensen" are behaving extremely out of character: Normally they do not speak to each other, they came in with a mysterious package (which, in reality, is holding the saint's bones) which the crew believes are either drugs or black market organs, and now they have beaten up what everyone thinks is an extra. Bob Singer calls showrunner Sera Gamble and suggests that they get Eric Kripke (portrayed in the episode by Micah A. Hauptman) to come to Vancouver and talk to the actors, to which Sera reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile, Virgil takes Misha hostage and kills him so he can use his blood to contact Raphael.
