"So, this rift is open in the middle of the army, and the-- and these two guys climb out of a car, and they look just like us." Sam says.

"Except not, and don't even get me started about the car." Dean says.

"Okay, I'm not understanding." Cas says.

"Are you two on crack?" Libby questions.

"What? No." Sam tells her.

"You sure?" She asks.

"It's like they were us, but I guess from another world." Sam says.

"So, then where were mine and Ophi's supposed doppelgangers or whatever the hell you're talking about?" Libby asks.

"I don't know." Sam shrugs.

"How did they get here?" Dean asks.

"They were running." The group turn to see Billie. "Because God was destroying their reality. He's almost done wrapping up those other worlds. And when he is..."

"It's our turn?" Sam assumes.

"Looks like. So we need to be prepared. I have the next step. For Jack." Billie states. Jack walks in and is eating a sandwich.

"I'm ready. Feeling, um, good about it." Jack says.

"Jack needs to find the Occultum." Billie states.

"The Occultum? Occultum, that's, uh, Latin for "hidden." Where do we find it?" Sam asks.

"I don't know, it's hidden. Missing for centuries. Sacred, potent." Billie says.

"Is it a weapon? Uh, how does it work?" Dean asks.

"Not a weapon per se. But it's powerful." Billie says.

"Don't you get tired of being vague?" Ophelia questions.

"Okay. Thanks. Big help." Dean sarcastically tells Billie. "And I second Ophi's question."

"So, are you ready? Truly?" Billie asks Jack.

"I am." He nods.

"Good to hear. Because we need to be ready and vigilant... and not stupid. God -- if he catches on to what we're doing, everything comes crashing down." Billie declares.

Jack and Libby walk into the library where Sam and Dean are and Jack is blowing a piece of bubblegum and it pops.

"I just learned how to do that." Jack grins. Libby nods and grins, popping her own piece of gum.

"Probably not." Dean tells Sam who chuckles.

"Jack, listen, uh, about Billie's plan, uh, she hasn't been real specific on the details." Sam says.

"Yeah, when you-- when you go up against Chuck, uh, you're gonna what, bob and weave? Or do you go straight in for the full smite?" Dean asks.

"Okay, yeah." Cas walks in and he's on the phone. "I owe you." He hangs up. "Well, I have information on the Occultum from the shaman Sergei."

"Him? Are we that desperate?" Dean asks.

"I think so." Cas says.

"So, what did he say?" Sam asks.

"The Occultum is divine in its origin. It was housed for hundreds of years in an ancient temple before it was--"

"Plundered by pirates." Dean guesses.

"No." Cas says.

"It was dug up by tomb raiders."
