030. FINDING JACK

Sam and the teenagers are in the Impala as Dean went to get coffee and some food. They're in town where Jody said a witness to a crime described Jack.

Dean gets in the car, holding out a cup of coffee.

"Hey. Thanks." Sam says.

"Yeah." Dean says, grabbing his cup before passing the rest back to the kids. 

"So the lore on dreamwalking is pretty inconsistent. Uh, there are stories about it across numerous native ameri--"

"Sam, we gonna talk about it?"

"What?"

"You saw that painting."

"Yeah."

"And? Well, it looks like Jack gave up on us and he's looking for daddy."

"Dean, we don't know that."

"Don't we? A guy is dead. Look, I hate this, too, but we're gotta be prepared."

"We don't know that's why he was dreamwalking." Ophelia says.

"Yes, we do." Dean argues.

"Except for the fact that we literally don't." Ophelia retorts.

"Prepared to kill him." Sam says.

"Look, this isn't an "I told you," okay? I mean... I actually like the kid. I do. More than Nathan."

"Wha--" The boy in the backseat frowns.

"But we're in worst case scenario land here." Dean says.

Ophelia sympathetically pats her boyfriend's arm.

"Yeah, but, Dean, we need more information. I mean we gotta figure out what Jack wanted, how-how dreamwalking even works." Sam says.

"Exactly!" Ophelia exclaims.

"Okay, well, then let's go to a reservation. Let's talk to a-a chief or a tribal leader." Dean says.

"Or... we talk to a dreamwalker. I hacked into Derek's email. He's been corresponding with another dreamwalker for months, a girl named Kaia Nieves. He had been trying to coach her, to teach her to control her power."

"Alright. Where is she?" Dean asks.

They pull up to the center where Kaia is.

"Okay, you three stay here." Dean tells the teenagers.

"Yeah, what else is new?" Libby rolls her eyes.

"We'll be back soon." Sam says, the brothers getting out of the car.

Soon the brothers return, Jack behind him.

"Oh, my God. They found him." Libby says, getting out of the car.

"Aw, man." Nathan whines.

"Dude." Ophelia gives him a look.

"Now she might get hurt again." Nathan says.

Ophelia looks out the car, seeing Libby hug Jack. He has a soft smile on his face, seemingly glad the girl isn't mad at him or scared of him.

"She's fine." Ophelia says. "Stop acting like how my dad is with you, please. Man, you three alone in a room together, one of you are dead."

"I'd definitely be the dead one." Nathan says.

"Yep." Ophelia nods.

"Wh-- you're not supposed to agree!"

"I can't disagree with a fact."
