Crowley visits music executive Roland Lemmons to discuss Vince Vincente's sudden comeback with his band Ladyheart. Crowley is skeptical that it's a natural career move, suspecting Lucifer may be involved. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean learn about Vince's reunion from Castiel and Crowley's call. They research online and see Ladyheart has signed a major record deal, perplexing the brothers given Vince's fame was decades ago. They plan to travel to LA to investigate further.
