025. THERAPY

Libby knocks on Jack's door, opening it after she receives a "come in."

"Hey." She says, shutting the door.

"Hi." Jack says, giving her a small smile.

"So, uh... I was thinking that I could show you Stranger Things. You know, that show I mentioned with all the weird monsters and the kids who try to find their friend." Libby says, sitting on his bed with her laptop.

Jack looks at his laptop, Clone Wars paused on the screen. He considers.

"Okay." Jack shuts his laptop.

"Great! Oh, and there's also this character who's a girl and she has powers like Ophi." Libby excitedly grins. "And you, too, I guess. She can move stuff with her mind, which Ophi can do and you can sometimes do."

"This isn't more... training, is it?" Jack asks.

"No! No, no, no. No. This is purely for entertainment purposes. I promise. No training. That is a Sam thing." Libby assures making Jack nod.

They're in the middle of the third episode when there's a knock on the door.

"Jack?" Sam opens the door. "Hey. Uh..." He looks at his daughter questioningly. "What are you doing in here, Libby?"

"Showing Jack Stranger Things." Libby states, not tearing her eyes away from the laptop.

"Why don't, uh...  why don't you show him from a little farther away?" Sam suggests, seeing their close proximity.

"Why don't I not?" Libby retorts.

"Whatever." Sam sighs.

"I like it." Jack confirms. "I was watching Clone Wars earlier. The computer had said I would like it. I did like Ahsoka. Kinda hate Anakin." He says.

"Uh... that's probably for the best." Sam says. "Never mind. Um, hey. You remember when I told you what Dean, the girls, Nate, and I do? Our, uh, our day job?"

"You kill monsters because you're the good guys." Jack says.

"Right, right. And we've got a case, so... thought you might want to come along." Sam says.

"No." Jack answers.

"Jack, I really think this would be good for you. You know, maybe a change of scenery might--"

"Get my powers working again?"

"Yeah, maybe."

Jack pauses the show.

"So I can be your "interdimensional can opener"?" He quotes, the father and daughter sharing a look. "You're using me."

"This seems like a, uh... teacher/student conversation and I don't have homework currently, so I'm gonna go." Libby says, grabbing her laptop and rushing out.

They're all in the Impala that's parked outside the house of the crime scene. Libby is in the front seat with the brothers, Ophelia, Nathan, and Jack in the backseat. Neither Sam nor Nathan let Libby sit by Jack.

"Agent Bonham, Agent Seger, Special Agent Anderson -- these are you?" Jack asks, looking through the fake IDs.

"Yeah, sometimes." Sam says.

"I thought lying was wrong." Jack  says.

"It's complicated." Ophelia says.

"All right, here we go. Victim, Wes Bailey. His wife, Erica, died six months ago. Hear thing, out of the blue. Uh, question is, why'd she come back from the dead and knife his ass?" Dean questions.
