The second occurs when Sam and Dean return to their hotel room after questioning the Millers at Mr. Miller's wake. While Dean cleans his guns, Sam slips into another vision, which notably occurs while he is awake and gives him a severe headache. In this one, a man is beheaded in his apartment when he stick shis head out the window.

Disturbed, Sam and Dean return to the Millers' old neighborhood, where they question a neighbor about the family; the niehgbor informs them the Millers abused their son, Max, for years. In the middle of this conversation, Sam starts suffering from another headache and recieves his third vision: Max Miller murdering his stepmother by weilding a knife telekinetically.

Rushing back to the house, Sam and Dean confont Max, foiling his attempt to kill his stepmother. Sam talks alne with Max while Dean and Mrs. Miller wait upstairs. Unable to dissuade Max from killing his stepmom, Sam is locked in the closet by an angry Max, who places a dresser in front of it to prevent his escape. Sam recieves his fourth vision: Dean being shot in the head by Max while he is trying to defend Mrs. Miller. This frightening scenario (and painful vision) inspire Sam to move the dresser telekinetically. His words to Max accidentally convince the boy to commit suicide.
