So, Amnesiac Sam focuses in on that particular volume, and when he thinks real hard about the author's name, he gets flung into a bad acid flashback to the most recent episode, wherein he spots glimpses of Dean at Bendy Lisa's hospital, The Brat in that purloined Jeep Liberty, Balthazar agreeing to be a double agent, Bobby chilling at The Emporium, and the summoning ritual he and Dean performed out in The Emporium's yard. He also gets a quick vision of the neon sign hanging from the side of The Nite Owl Motel, and when he comes to -- face-down on a table, natch -- he immediately asks the barmaid for a computer.
