Supernatural (TV series)/Recap/S07/E15 Repo Man
Season 7, Episode 15:
Repo Man
Four years ago on their hunt for Lilith, Dean and Sam captured, interrogated, and finally exorcised a demon that preyed on young women. Now it appears the demon has returned, so while Dean goes to protect its former host, Sam sets out to find out who could have possibly released it. Dean finds out that the demon's host has some problems of his own, while Sam ends up grudgingly accepting help from Lucifer, who has become increasingly resistant to Sam's attempts to repel him.
