"Who goes to Duluth in October? Sure Michael didn't touch down in Orlando?" Bobby asks.
"Jo was pretty specific. Duluth." Mary says.
"Yeah, well, angels ain't exactly known for their veracity." Bobby says. Mary clears her throat, looking behind Bobby who turns to see Cas walk in. "No offense." He tells the angel.
"None taken. I tend to agree with you." Cas says.
"Here you go." Mary hands her son a gun.
"Thanks." Sam says.
"Hey, what's that?" Mary asks, looking at the laptop.
"So I've been searching through police reports in Duluth. Cops just turned up a pile of corpses that was dumped near some train tracks just north of town and their eyes were burnt out." Sam says.
"So Michael. We should go now." Cas says.
"No. This isn't just Michael we're talking about." Sam says.
"It's Dean." Bobby says.
"Yeah. Cas, you know why you can't come with us, right?" Sam asks.
"My angelic presence would be sensed by Michael, thereby nullifying your hopes of a sneak attack." Cas says.
"Yeah, sorry." Sam says.
"And, you need me to stay here and babysit Nick and Jack." Cas says.
"It's not babysitting, Cas."
"Only in the sense that they're not infants, but they both have to be supervised. Jack is lost without his grace, Nick is... he's just a mess."
"Well, it-it's not his fault. Cas, Nick was housing, you know. He-he deserves a shot at rebuilding his life."
"And yet every time I look at him, all I can see is the supreme agent of evil."
"You talking about my dad again?" Jack asks, walking in. "Look, I understand. Being around Nick -- it's hard for me, too."
"Uh, Jack, we're going to need you to sit this mission out. Not a permanent thing." Mary promises.
"I know last time, I sucked when it mattered, and I need to improve. So... that's what I'm gonna do." Jack says.
"All right. Okay, and Daphne--" Sam turns to her.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm staying because I'm 18 and a girl. Whatever." Daphne says.
"It's not cause you're a girl. It's... it's for your safety." Sam says.
"And you're suddenly not over-worried about Billy's safety?" Daphne asks.
"Well, he's... he's older." Sam says and Daphne rolls her eyes.
"Sucks to suck, Daph." Billy says, kissing her on the temple.
"Shut up." She mutters. Billy stops, realizing she's actually upset.
"Daffy." He quietly calls, crouching next to her. He squishes her cheeks forcing her to look at him and preventing her from rambling at the same time. "I'll be safe. We'll get Dean back. I'm not letting anything take me away from you again." He lets go of her face.
"I would feel better being with you." Daphne says.
"Just hang out with Lennox, okay? Finish your Marvel marathon or-or start a different marathon if you already finished that." Billy says. "I'll see you later. Promise." He ruffles her hair. "Love you."
"Yeah, love you, too." Daphne mumbles, sighing as she watches the four hunters leave. "Stupid overprotective Samuel." She grumbles.
