Sam and the siblings are in the library and Dean walks in while on his phone.

"Okay, well, stay on it. You get any leads, you let us know, and we'll keep working it from our end. Thanks, Cas." Dean hangs the phone up. "So Kelly Kline is in the wind. No trace."

"Great." Sam sighs.

"No idea when Lucifer's kid is gonna pop, if it hasn't already." Dean says.

"So basically, we got nothin'." Sam says.

"Basically." Dean nods.

"All right. Well, we do have this other thing."

"What other thing?"

"Check it out. Museum in Des Moines, Iowa. A guy's body was found in the parking lot, a teacher. His tongue had been ripped out."

"Well, that didn't kill him."

"No, but having his internal organs crushed did. Uh, no obvious damage to the torso, no point of entry."

"You thinkin' witch?"

"Maybe. I mean, he was seen alive just a couple hours earlier, leading a student tour of the museum."

"Hmm. Haven't seen mom in a while. Maybe she'll wanna work with us on this."

"We'll go. I'll go." Daphne raises her hand.

"Whoa, whoa, pump the brakes." Billy protests. "You're still... it hasn't been that long since that whole Ramiel, demon attack thing."

"Cas healed me. I'm fine." Daphne says.

"Well... you know, still." Billy says.

Daphne rolls her eyes, groaning in annoyance.

"Hey, look, you may be annoyed, but, Daph... an angel stabbed you. And then barely a month later, you got stabbed again... by a demon. So excuse me for being a little overprotective after almost losing you twice within a pretty small time limit."

"Yes, but staying here forever isn't going to fix the problem." Daphne says. "Look, I won't leave your sight... aside from the bathroom... and-and shower and stuff."

"She's not wrong. You can't keep her locked up forever." Sam says. "Even though I also kinda want to." He mumbles to himself.

"I can easily make her Rapunzel. Without the super long hair." Billy says.

"Billy." Dean gives him a look.

"Ugh, fine." Billy groans. "But you are not fighting a single damn thing."

"Deal." Daphne grins. "I'll go back." She rushes out of the library.

"So thank you again for meeting with us, Dr. Ochoa." Sam says as the woman leads them through the museum.

"Of course, agent. I... we've had two murders in two days. The police have no idea what's going on, and--"

"Well, that's why we're here." Dean says.

"Now you said victim number two brought some Timber Troopers through here, right?" Sam asks.

"16 hours ago, they were standing right where you are." Dr. Ochoa says.

"Is there anything new to the museum?" Dean asks.

"Well, here in the lab, three traveling exhibits have been uncrated. One's already on display. The other two are being prepped." Dr. Ochoa says.

"Dr. Ochoa?" A man calls.

"Excuse me." She tells them.

"Sure." Sam nods and she walks off.
