The wartime coalition between Putin and his patriarch is called symphonia, an ironclad alliance between church and state that assures reciprocal reverence, with neither institution presuming to dominate the other. Theologians have spent centuries bickering over the fine points, which have now impaled 44 million Ukrainians as the victims of a bloodthirsty land-grab that Putin and the Patriarch have packaged as a holy campaign to cleanse souls.

The Oglala holy man and healer known as Black Elk once said that Lakota used tunkashila, which means grandfather, as a sign of respect and intimacy. The word, with the accent on the second syllable, is not the name of God, who has no name in traditional Lakota religion but is simply described as Wakan Tanka, translated by convention into English as Great Spirit. But wakan is a heavily freighted word. It means spirit in the sense of immaterial, large, eternal and everywhere, but it also means ancient, unknowable, mysterious and powerful.

Above a disused bar, in a dilapidated Parisian hotel that houses an assortment of indigent, marginalized lost souls, one of the inhabitants, a mysterious, reclusive holy man, is the subject of much speculation from some of his fellow occupants and respectful reverence from others.

In the Bunker, Sam and Dean ponder over the ingredients that are required for the spell to open the rift to the Apocalypse World. With Castiel searching for the fruit from the Tree of Life in Syria, they focus on how to source "the blood of a most holy man." An online search leads them to a dealer of religious relics, Margaret Astor, who may be able to sell them the blood of a saint. They meet with her in San Francisco, where she openly flirts with Sam while ignoring Dean, much to his discomfort. She asks what it is the boys require. When Sam tells her it's the blood of a saint, she sends them to meet Richard Greenstreet in Seattle with a word of advice to be cautious.

At the Scarpatti mansion, the mob boss gloats about being a devout Catholic, which is why he had the skull stolen, believing he can give a holy relic like that a proper home. He then reveals that the skull has now been stolen from him, and he tasks the Winchesters with retrieving it for him.
