Most of the episode is presented as found footage from the perspective of three film school students: Brian (Leigh Parker), Michael (Brandon W. Jones), and Kate (Brit Sheridan). The episode starts with Sam and Dean finding the footage edited into a movie and waiting to be played for them in the middle of a crime scene at the students' home where there are two unidentifiable bodies. They watch the movie. Brian and Michael had begun making it to depict the details of their lives in Washtenaw County, Michigan. Michael is bitten by a mysterious creature and begins exhibiting supernatural traits. Things get out of hand when he kills a bully (Eric Banerd) in a fit of rage for threatening Kate. Trying to find out what's happening to him, Michael, Brian, and Kate spy on Sam and Dean, who are trying to find a werewolf who's been biting and killing people at the college Brian, Michael, and Kate attend; this werewolf, Sam and Dean reveal, is a "pureblood" werewolf that possesses some unique qualities, including retaining a greater degree of awareness when it transforms than other werewolves. Brian privately realizes that the pure-blood werewolf is one of his professors (David Lewis) and blackmails him into turning him into a werewolf, too. He tells the horrified Michael and Kate what he's done, revealing that he did it because he is jealous of Michael for having power and Kate's love. Brian and Michael fight and Brian kills Michael in the struggle before turning Kate into a werewolf against her will so that they can be together. However, a vengeful Kate kills Brian instead; the two bodies Sam and Dean found at the house are Brian and Michael. Kate edits all their footage together into a movie for Sam and Dean to watch and understand what happened, finishing with a promise that she will feed off of animal hearts and not harm humans, asking for a chance to live in peace. At that point, Sam and Dean (having killed Brian's professor before tracing one of Brian's cameras to the students' home at the start of the episode) finish watching the video. Because Kate is a pureblood werewolf who can control herself and hasn't hurt anyone human, Sam and Dean agree to give her the chance she asked for.

One of the 'boys get a day' off episodes. Stand alone filler with lore.

I skipped most of this one, once I realised it was the werewolf Kate one, her return episode later on is better.
