No Rest for the Wicked is the 16th episode and the season finale of Season 3. It premiered on May 15th, 2008.
It's 30 hours before Dean's deal with the crossroads demon is up and Dean, Sam and Bobby (Jim Beaver) are searching for Lilith, who holds the contract. They discover her location and Sam summons Ruby for help despite Dean's protests. Ruby warns them they aren't ready to fight Lilith yet but they steal her knife and depart for New Harmony, Indiana. ...
The show opens with a great season three montage to "Carry On My Wayward Son", the tradition of season finales. Next, Dean is running from something in the woods, but the growling creature catches up with him and he falls down, yelling and screaming as his blood spurts on his face. He wakes up with his head resting on a page he was reading about Hellhounds. Sam comes in with a smile and reveals that Bobby has found a way to find Lilith. Dean isn't convinced that the plan is going to work with only 30 hours to go and wants to live it up in a Mexican way. Sam jokes they should never do that, and sits down to reassure Dean that he won't let him go to Hell, but Dean isn't comforted when he hallucinates Sam as a ghoulish figure.
Bobby performs a tracking spell by pulling out a device, and after reciting some Latin finds that Lilith is in New Harmony, Indiana.
Dean doesn't like the idea of taking on Lilith unprepared. Sam wants to summon Ruby, but Dean refuses to let him and tells Bobby and Sam to find something else. Sam summons Ruby anyway, and she tells him he can defeat Lilith using his psychic and other abilities instead of her knife. Lilith is on "shore leave" and has her guard down. She didn't tell Sam this before because he would have never considered the idea unless he was desperate. Sam takes in what she says but Dean arrives, refusing to let her help Sam tap into his abilities. He fights her and after taking a beating steals her knife while trapping her under a Devil's Trap.
Sam tries to get Dean to listen to Ruby, but Dean tells him they need to stop making the same mistakes all over again and stop allowing themselves to be martyrs for each other. They should go after Lilith their way and if they fail they will go down swinging. Dean asks, "What the hell does a demon do for fun?" We find out that Lilith has taken over the body of the young daughter of the Fremont family and is terrorizing them. She is holding dad, mom and grandpa hostage and has killed her babysitter and her pet, Freckles.
Sam and Dean try to leave, but the Impala won't start. Bobby shows up with the distributor cap in his hand and tells them he is going with them because "family don't end with blood." He also gets Dean to admit he's seeing hallucinations.
On the car ride there, Sam wants to have a talk, but Dean puts on "Wanted Dead or Alive" instead, creating one last brotherly bonding moment by both yelling the song obnoxiously out of tune. Dean turns sad at the end, realizing how bittersweet the last moment is.
Main Cast

•Demons (Ruby, Cop Demon, Mailman Demon, Mr. Rogers)
•Hellhounds
•Special Child (Sam Winchester)
•White-Eyed Demon (Lilith)
•Dean's deal, made in All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 2, comes due in this episode.
•While arguing on whether they should summon Ruby to help, Dean said, "For all we know, she works for Lilith." This later would prove to be true in the Season 4 finale.
•The title of the episode is based from the song by Cage The Elephant.
•The CW's official summary mistakenly does not cite actor Jim Beaver as a guest star.
•IMDb lists Fremont Daughter as Zoey.
•According to the book Supernatural the Official Companion Season 3, the original vision for the final scene would have placed Dean in a "really nasty, bloody slaughterhouse, hanging from meat hooks". Here, Dean would start screaming as shadows fall over him. Discussions between Eric Kripke, Kim Manners, and Ivan Hayden led to the decision to present "one epic glimpse" of Hell. Though the scene matched with the many versions of "chains and people being ripped apart", art director John Marcynuk felt they should have made it "a little more mysterious and dark". He commented, "My opinion is, the vaguer the better, because you let the imagination take over. People have different fears, and Hell's such a personal torment".
•The police car that gets covered up after Dean kills the demon posing as a cop is numbered 54. This may be a reference to the television series "Car 54 Where Are You".
•At one point in the episode Dean says, "...hell, she probably wants you to become her little Antichrist Superstar". Antichrist Superstar is an album by American rock band Marilyn Manson.
