The five get to a college where a kid died and get out of the Impala, walking onto campus.

"Sorry I ever made you leave." Dean comments as he checks out two passing college girls.

"You realize they're practically young enough to be your daughters, right?" Ophelia asks.

They get inside, another girl passing by.

"God, they're everywhere." Dean says.

"Stop being a horndog." Ophelia smacks her dad's shoulder.

"Stop arguing." Sam mutters as they approach two girls.

"Uh, which one of you is Janet Novoselic?" Dean asks.

"I am." Janet says.

"Agents Grohl and Cobain." Sam says, him and Dean showing their badges.

"Bye." The girl tells Janet and leaves.

"I already talked to the police, like, nine times." Janet says.

"Yeah, no, this is, uh-- it's, uh, just a follow up." Dean says.

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"I have finals tomorrow." Janet says.

"Then we'll make it fast. I promise." Sam tells her.

They're sitting in the library and Ophelia notices Dean continue to check girls out making her roll her eyes.

"It's like I told the detective. I was drunk, but I wasn't hallucinating. The truck had a mind of its own." Janet says.

"How so?" Dean asks.

"Like, the air went full blast even though it wasn't on and the radio went crazy and so did Trini." Janet says.

"And Trini is?" Dean asks.

"Ah, you have to excuse my partner. When it comes to technology, he's a little behind. Uh... he just learned how to poke on Facebook." Sam says.

"In other words, he's old." Ophelia comments, earning a glare from her father.

"Uh, um, Trini is the nav app we were using. It--it's like a talking map." Janet says, looking at Dean's clueless look. "You're Gen X. Right."

"Okay, so, Trini and everything else in the truck went all Christine." Dean says.

"Who's Cristine?" Janet asks. Ophelia presses her lips together to keep from laughing.

"It's a Gen X thing." Dean says.

"Look, I don't expect you to believe me. But, I swear that truck was hell bent on killing Billy." Janet says.

"Did Billy have any enemies? Anybody who might have had a beef with him?" Sam asks.

"Maybe his brother Joey. They fought all the time. It's so sad. They never got to make it right." Janet says.

"Because Billy died." Dean says.

"No. Joey did. In Afghanistan." Janet informs.

"Do you know where he's buried?" Sam asks.

"He's not. Poor guy never came home. I.E.D." Janet says.

"Did Billy happen to have anything of his brother's on him when he died? Uh, dog tags, a hat, something?" Dean asks.

"Just his pickup." Janet says.

"So the truck belonged to Joey?" Sam asks.

"Yeah. It was his pride and joy. Billy got it when he died, and, you know, it's a thing." Janet says.
