Anna reveals that she used to be in charge of Castiel and Uriel, until one day she decided to disobey her orders from above to become human.  She ripped out her grace, which is the special energy that makes an angel, and fell to earth.  The demons want her so they can torture her for heavenly information, and the angels want to kill her so she can never talk.  In order for Anna to become an angel again, she'll need to find her grace, which would have fallen to earth like a meteor on the day she became human.  Sam knows of some nearby meteor crashes, but Ruby thinks that hanging around Anna is a bad idea.  She tells Sam (Jared Padalecki) that he needs to do something to beef up his mental mojo, but he's reluctant to do anything too dangerous.

After driving Pamela home, Dean asks Anna why she'd ever want to become human.  She admits that she loves all the crazy human emotions, as well as things like chocolate cake and sex.  She'll get no arguments from me.  While Dean ponders the awesomeness of chocolate cake, Anna reveals some interesting facts about the angels.  Only four of them have ever laid eyes upon God, meaning that He may not even exist.  The angels are meant to have faith that He does, and are killed if they ever lose that faith.  Much like Dean, Anna has spent her life following orders from a father she never sees and barely understands.  It looks like the kids have something in common. 

Sam believes that the grace meteor may have crashed in Kentucky, where a giant oak tree sprung up overnight back in 1985.  Grace is a good thing, so it causes creation instead of destruction.  The unlikely foursome hop in the Impala and find the tree, but it looks like someone has already taken the grace for themselves.
