Who We Are is the 22nd episode of Season 12. It aired on May 18, 2017, followed by All Along the Watchtower.
Caught in a dangerous situation, Sam and Dean only have each other to rely on. Meanwhile, the fight between the American Hunters and the British Hunters comes to a head.
After she kills a hunter, Mary checks in with Arthur Ketch and receives a list of new targets that includes Jody Mills. Meanwhile, in the sealed bunker, Dean, Sam, and Lady Toni Bevell discuss possible escape methods. When Dean proposes killing Lady Bevell to conserve air, she counters, saying that she is the only one who can undo Mary's brainwashing. Toni says that the only way that they can get out of the bunker is by activating the manual override, but it's located outside the bunker's walls. Sam suggests they look for a spell that could magically undo the lockdown. After their attempts at a ritual fail, Dean decides that there's only one way out; to bust down the walls.
Sam and Dean use sledgehammers to break the concrete, but the walls are too thick and heavy and the brothers make very little progress. As the oxygen runs out, Dean and Sam slump against the shattered wall and come to terms with the fact that they may not escape after all. When all hope seems lost, Dean remembers the grenade launcher. He disappears and reappears moments later, launcher in hand. Dean blasts a hole in the wall, badly injuring his leg, but he still manages to escape and pull the override switch.
After turning the power back on and escaping the bunker, Sam and Dean search for one of their numerous cell phones, hoping to warn other hunters that a brainwashed Mary is after them and that they may be in danger. Dean is able to reach Garth, but Sam is unable to contact Jody. The brothers head for Sioux Falls and when they get to Jody's, they burst through her door and see Mary tied up in the kitchen. Sam goes to get Lady Bevell out of the car and orders her to reverse Mary's brainwashing, but Toni admits that she was bluffing; there is no way undo the damage. Lady Bevell tells the brothers that their mom, the real Mary, is trapped behind impenetrable walls in her own mind. When Sam and Dean turn on Toni, she pleads for her life, saying that the British Men of Letters won't stop killing hunters until all of them are dead. She tells the brothers that they should run, but Sam insists that they should fight.
Sam and Dean assemble all of the nearby hunters, and Sam begins to explain his plan to take down the British Men of Letters. Sam addresses the hunters and admits that he tried to work with the British Men of Letters because their mission was supposedly the same. Sam asks the other hunters to follow him and take the fight to the British headquarters. Jody, Walt, Roy, Jerry, and two others agree, and the group packs up and prepares to leave. Dean tells Sam that he is too injured to accompany them and says he believes in Sam's ability to lead the hunters and win the fight. Dean plans to stay behind and try to find a way to help Mary. The boys hug and call each other "bitch" and "jerk". Alex tells Jody to "kick it in the ass."
Sam and the other hunters drive to the British Men of Letters compound. Inside, Arthur Ketch tracks Mary's phone to Lebanon, Kansas, where Lady Bevell is setting up a psychic link between Dean and Mary. Toni tells Dean that both he and Mary will need to be sedated and Dean handcuffs Lady Bevell to the table to prevent her from escaping. Dean enters Mary's subconsciousness and finds himself at their old house in Lawrence, months before the fire and Mary's death. Baby Sam lies in his crib while Mary makes lunch for Dean. Everything seems perfect, but Mary doesn't acknowledge the modern Dean's sudden appearance.
Meanwhile, back at the compound, Sam and the team of American hunters storm in, guns blazing. Dean continues his attempts to get Mary to notice him, but he realizes that she is purposefully ignoring him, choosing to live in a fantasy instead of accepting the consequences of her deal with Azazel. Dean tells Mary that he hates her, describing all of the things that happened to him and Sam because of her deal. Dean declares that he hates Mary twice more, then says that he also loves her. Dean says that he understands the love that drives people to do what they do and tells Mary that he forgives her for everything that she's done. Dean says that he, Sam, and Mary can start over, but only if she will fight for it and see him. Finally, Mary turns around and faces her son. As she begins to speak, the psychic link is broken by Ketch, who tracked them to the bunker and killed Lady Bevell. Ketch attacks Dean, but as he pulls out his gun he is shot in the back, then the head, by Mary.
