Sam walks into the war room where Dean and the siblings are and Dean is studying the research board they have up to track Kelly.
"Yeah, I was looking at that earlier. Cas has been busy, huh?" Sam asks.
"Yeah, busy not finding Kelly Kline or her Rosemary's baby. I mean, how's a chick like this just drop off the map?" Dean asks as Sam sits next to Daphne.
"Hey, if you can do any better, go at it." Billy says.
"Well, I think that's what he's trying to figure out. Hey, you, uh, you hear from mom yet?" Sam asks.
"Yeah, she called last night, said she's got a line on a shapeshifter in Atlanta." Dean says. "I said we could come help, and she said, "Don't bother." Apparently, she's "got it.""
"Then she's probably got it."
"Yeah."
"Mom's good."
"I just think she jumped back into this a little quick, don't you?"
"I don't think we have the kind of mom who's gonna stay home and make us chicken soup for dinner, you know?" Sam says. "You talk to Cas yet?"
"No." Dean answers.
"So, what, you're just gonna keep walking past each other in the kitchen, not saying a word?"
"Maybe."
"Look, yes, Cas killed Billie, but he saved us. He saved mom. How long are you gonna stay pissed?"
"I'm not pissed that he cares about us, you know. I'm-- I'm grateful. But Billie said there would be "cosmic consequences" if that deal got broken. You have any idea what that means?"
"No."
"Neither do I, but I'm pretty sure it ain't jellybeans and g-strings."
"My point is, Cas thought he was doing the right thing."
"I was doing the right thing." Cas states, walking in from the library.
"You sure about that?" Dean asks.
"Yes." Cas says.
"Yeah? Well, I'm not so sure. And when the other shoe drops--"
"I'll deal with it. I have to go."
"Got a lead on Kelly?" Sam asks.
"No. This is personal." Cas says.
"Meaning what?" Dean asks.
"I think it means it's personal." Billy comments, earning a glare from Dean.
"Another angel." Cas says. "An old friend. He called out for help."
"Oh. Good old reliable angel radio." Dean remarks.
"He was begging for help and then he just stopped. I need to know if he's still alive." Cas says.
"Yeah, all right." Sam says, standing up. "Well... we'll come with you."
"Both of you?" Cas asks, the group turning to look at Dean.
"Sure. Yeah, we could help. Gotta make sure you don't do anything else stupid." Dean says.
"This is gonna be a long car ride." Billy whispers.

Dean's driving and Sam is in the passenger seat while the siblings and Cas sit in the back, Daphne in the middle. The car is full of tense silence.
Daphne's leg is bouncing and she's drumming her fingers on her thighs.
"All right, who wants music?" Sam asks.
