079. DEFEAT GOD

They're on a deserted street and Dean meets them there, getting out of the Impala, the group looking around the emptiness.

"Everyone's gone. You see anybody on the way here?" Sam asks.

"No." Dean answers.

"I couldn't save anybody." Sam says. "Billie--"

"It wasn't Billie. It was Chuck." Dean states.

"What?" Sam asks.

"Where's Cas?" Jack suddenly questions.

"Dean?" Sam calls after his brother doesn't answer.

"He saved me. Billie was coming after us, and Cas summoned the Empty. It took her. And it took him. Cas is gone." Dean informs. "Where's Nathan?" He asks, glancing between them, but focusing on his daughter.

Ophelia looks down and plays with one of the few rings Nathan got her and she sadly shakes her head, ignoring the tears that well up back in her eyes.

Dean's shoulders sag at his daughter's state, his heart cracking at her heartbreak.

"Baby girl.." Dean whispers sadly, walking closer to her. "I... I'm so sorry." She looks up at him with her teary eyes and forces a small smile, though it looks like a wince. Dean puts his hand on the back of her head and pulls her into a hug, Ophelia letting some of her tears fall.

"This can't be happening." Sam says.

"It is, Sam. I think everyone's gone." Dean states.

Sam walks off a bit and calls Jody, starting to call other hunters as well.

"Jack, I'm sorry." Dean tells him. "I'm sorry, honey." He tells Libby.

They all start walking down the empty street. They walk into a diner, Jack staying outside, and there's music playing and the TV is showing an empty football field.

"It brings a whole new meaning to the term "sudden death."" Dean says.

"Dean, do you think we're it? All that's left?" Sam asks.

"Yeah. You, me, girls, Jack." Dean says.

"Hey." Jack walks in. "So, um, what now?"

"I did this. We could have just given Chuck what he wanted, you know, his grand finale. But I resisted. I pulled the thread. I thought we could beat this game, do it better. We tried to rewrite him and the whole world paid the price." Sam says.

"Sam, we can--" Dean starts.

"We can what? There's nothing left, Dean. No one left to save. Everybody's gone." Sam states.

"You can't just give up." Jack says.

"What other choice do we have?" Sam questions.

After trying to give up to Chuck, he wouldn't accept it, forcing the five to be the only ones on earth. They returned to the bunker, not really having much else to do.

Dean is making his way from his room to the kitchen, wanting more beer. He hears a crashing noise and stops. He waits until he hears another one that's accompanied by a small yell.

Dean slowly follows to where the noise is coming from and stops outside his daughter's room. Dean knocks on the door, but doesn't receive an answer and he slowly opens the door. There's stuff all over her floor, including broken glass from some picture frames.

"Baby?" Dean calls, getting her attention. "Hey, hey."

"Just leave me alone." Ophelia tells him.

"No. Baby, you--"
