068. BACK TO PURGATORY

"Come on, Sam!" Dean exclaims, taking his phone away from his ear.

"Have you tried Eileen?" Cas asks.

"Yeah. Same thing -- no answer." Dean says.

"Well, maybe they just have their hands full with her case." Cas suggests.

"Yeah. Or they're in trouble." Dean says.

"How the hell did this happen?" Dean asks.

"What are you doing?" Cas asks.

"Tracking Sam's phone. Okay, here we go. Uh... Milford, Nebraska, at a casino. What the hell is Chuck doing at a casino? Whatever. We need to go." Dean states.

"To Purgatory." Cas states.

"Chuck has Sam. I'm not leaving him." Dean states.

"Chuck's not gonna kill him. That's not the ending." Cas says.

"Wh-- then he'll torture him." Dean says.

"Dean, will you stop? Just stop being so stupid." Cas says.

"What?" Dean asks.

"If we attack Chuck now, we don't have anything that can hurt him. We get that leviathan blossom, complete Michael's spell, build the cage. That's our chance. That's the way we'll save Sam, and that's the way we'll save the world." Cas states.

They're getting ready to go, Libby going to grab a gun, but Dean stops her.

"No. You're staying here." Dean tells her.

"What?" Libby asks. "Why?"

"Cause your dad would kill me if I let you go to Purgatory." Dean says making Libby roll her eyes. "Just... stay here -- in the safety of the bunker. Plus, knowing you, your mind is running through a million different scenarios your dad could be in which is only gonna throw off your game."

"Oph gets to go." Libby says.

"I'm older." Ophelia grins.

"Whatever." Libby mutters, walking away and sitting at the table.

"I'll stay with her." Nathan tells Ophelia.

"You sure?" Ophelia asks.

"Yeah. Yeah, I don't want her to be alone." Nathan says.

"Okay." Ophelia nods. She kisses him before her, Dean, and Cas go to Purgatory.

Stepping in, Ophelia immediately glances around. She forgot about how terrifying being forced to stay here for a year was.

"Hey." She hears a soft voice, turning to Dean. "You wanna go back?"

"No. No, I can-- I can do this." Ophelia assures. Dean gives her a look. "I'm fine." She forces a smile. Dean doesn't seem to believe her, but lets it go for now.

"How the hell are we supposed to even know what we're looking for here? You know, Michael coulda done us a solid and drawn us a picture." Dean says.

"You know, of all the times I've been in Purgatory, I've never seen a bloom of any kind." Cas says.

"Yeah. Exactly." Dean says.

"I was a little too busy making sure I didn't die to... notice any flowers, so..." Ophelia says.

"Well, if we see it, we'll know. It's likely to be the only flower here." Cas says.

"Alright. Well, maybe we'll run into Benny. He's probably king of this place by now." Dean says. He checks his phone, seeing they have a little over ten and a half hours remaining until the portal closes. "Okay. Let's split up."
