Liz and the boys are at a gas station and Liz is on the phone with Henry and she says, "So, how does it feel to be in regular school?" Henry says, "It feels good. I'm one of the smartest people in my class." Liz smiles through the phone and says, "Well, you do have some pretty smart genes." Henry laughs and says, "Yeah, I do. My teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up." Liz says, "Oh, yeah? What did you do say?" Henry says, "I said I don't know. I haven't really thought about it." Liz nods and says, "Well, you're still pretty young and you have plenty of time to figure what you want to do." Henry says, "Yeah. Oh, by the way I tried out for the soccer team, and I made it." Liz says, "Really? Congrats, buddy. You are gonna have so much fun." Henry smiles and says, "I can't wait. Okay, I have to get ready for school, but I'll talk to you later?" Liz says, "Yes, of course. You can bother me anytime. I love you, Hen." Henry smiles and says, "I love you, mom. Bye." Liz says, "Bye." Liz hangs up the phone and Sam looks at Liz and says, "How is he?" Liz smiles and says, "He's good. He's one of the smartest kids in his class and he made it on the soccer team." Sam nods impressed and Liz says, "So, what's going on with the Trans?" Sam says, "Well, uh, Garth finally got them to his houseboat, but Kevin's having a lot of trouble reading their half of the tablet. So far, bits and pieces. Nothing about boarding up hell." Dean says, "Garth has a safe-houseboat?" Sam says, "Dude, I don't even ask questions anymore." Dean walks over to Cass and who's reading a newspaper and he says, "What's the word, Cass?" Castiel looks at Dean and says, "It's a shortened version of my name." Dean says, "Yes, it is. I meant what's the word on The Word? Any, uh, tablet chatter on angel radio?" Castiel says, "Oh, I couldn't say. I turned that off." Sam says, "You can do that?" Castiel says, "Yeah, it's a simple matter of blocking out certain subsonic frequencies. I can draw you a diagram if you want." Dean says, "No, that's-- we're good. Why'd you flip the switch?" Castiel says, "Because it's a direct link to heaven. And I don't want anything to do with that place-- Not anymore." Dean says, "So what now? Move to Vermont, open up a charming B&B?" Castiel says, "No. I still want-- I still need to help people. So... I'm gonna became a hunter." Sam scoffs and says, "Really?" Castiel says, "Yeah. I could be your fourth wheel." Sam chuckles and Dean says, "You know that's not a good thing, right?" Castiel says, "Of course it is. A fourth wheel adds extra grip, greater stability. I even found a case. Oklahoma City-- A man's heart jumped 10 feet out of his chest. It sounds like our kind of thing, right?" Liz says, "He's got a point." Castiel says, "Excellent. I'll see you there." Dean says, "Wait, Cass, Cass. If you want to play cowboys and bloodsuckers, that's fine. But you're gonna stick with us, okay? None of this zapping around crap. Capiche?" Castiel says, "Yeah, I capiche." Dean says, "All right, then." Liz opens the backdoor and gets into the car. Castiel says, "Can I, uh, at least ride in the front seat?" Dean and Sam say, "No."
