| - In 1957, Father Max Thompson began working on coming up with a way to cure a demon and make them human again. His first attempt on March 7, 1957 was attended and recorded by Josie Sands of the Men of Letters and he was aided by Father Simon. The attempt was a failure, resulting in the demon escaping and the old woman who was its vessel being killed. Father Thompson continued his efforts, leading to his 19th trial on August 3, 1958 with the demon possessing Peter Kent. Having perfected his ritual, Father Thompson was able to successfully render the demon human again. Hell learned of Father Thompson's successful experiment and sent the Knight of Hell Abaddon to kill Father Thompson and stop him from using the ritual again. Two days after Father Thompson cured Peter Kent's demon, Abaddon ripped him apart, but not before he told her some of the details of the ritual under torture. After Father Thompson's murder, his records on his efforts to create the ritual went to Father Simon. In 2013, after learning that the Third Trial is to cure a demon, Sam and Dean Winchester search the Men of Letters bunker and locate the recording made of Father Thompson's first attempt at the ritual. Their interest drawn, the Winchesters talk to Father Simon who explains the purpose of the ritual and gives them access to Father Thompson's records. From the records, the Winchesters are able to learn of the success of the ritual and how to perform it. The Winchesters initially attempt to perform the ritual on Abaddon, but she escapes after telling them of her knowledge of it. Sam then performs the ritual on Crowley in order to close the Gates of Hell forever. While Sam comes close to succeeding, Dean stops him from completing the ritual after learning from Naomi that completing the Trials will kill him. Following his near-cure, Crowley retains traces of humanity he lacked before and for a time, a human blood addiction. In 2014, after Dean is killed by Metatron and turned into a demon and a Knight of Hell, Sam performs a variation on Father Thompson's ritual to reverse the transformation, a variation where he uses blood purified by a priest rather than confession and one that ends when the last injection is performed without the modified exorcism. Unlike the Peter Kent demon, Dean retains his demon mannerisms throughout the ritual, even as it renders him human enough to escape a devil's trap and Supernatural Handcuffs. Eventually, with the help of Castiel, Sam is able to restrain Dean once more and complete the ritual, turning Dean human again.
