A Stupid Plan

When an old block is reopened in the Green River County Detention Center after thirty years, a fiend is released, killing the interns. Three months later, Dean and Sam are arrested during a heist to be sent to the haunted prison to help Deacon, a former friend of their father. While FBI Agent Victor Henricksen presses Dean, the public defender Mara Daniels believes the brothers are not guilty of most of the inconsistent charges against them, and helps the Winchester brothers in the end.

I initially agree with Sam that Dean's plan is absolutely stupid, breaking in a place to be arrested and sent to the haunted prison, especially when the arrogant agent Henricksen unexpectedly arrives in Green River. However, when Deacon's identity is disclosed, the plan seems to be reasonable. In the end, the twist with Mountainside and Green Valley cemeteries is hilarious. My vote is eight.
