INT. ELYSIAN FIELDS HOTEL LOBBY
A bell dinged and thunder crashed.
EXT. ELYSIAN FIELDS HOTEL
The Impala parked in front of the hotel lobby at an angle.
INT. ELYSIAN FIELDS HOTEL LOBBY
Sam, Dean and Elena entered the lobby, soaked and gasping. Lounge music played.
"Whew," Dean commented. "Nice digs, for once. Busy night."
"Any port in a storm, I guess," the front desk attendant, Chad, replied with a chuckle. "If you could just fill this out, please."
"Yeah."
"Sir, I think... shaving nick there. Ma'am, I think you scratched your cheek." He handed Dean and Elena a tissue. "Your key."
"Thanks," Elena replied, blotting her cheek with the tissue as she frowned.
"Oh. Thanks," Dean said. "Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a coffee shop, would you?"
"Buffet. All you can eat. Best pie in the tri-state area."
"You don't say?" Dean stated in a questioning tone.

Dean sampled pies.
"Heaven, right?" a man asked.
Dean scoffed. "Trust me pal... better." He saw a woman sitting alone. "How you doing?"
"No," the woman deadpanned.
"But-"
"Oh, lady, I'm just, you know-"
"I understand. And no."
"10-4. Yeah." His phone beeped and he grunted. "Sam, unpack, man. You too, Elena. Eat something."
Sam looked at him. "We should hit the road, Dean."
"In this storm? I-it's-"
"It's Biblical. Exactly. I-it's friggin' Noah's ark out there, and we're eating pie."
"How many hours of sleep did you get this week?" Dean asked. "What? Three? Four? Bobby has got his feelers out, okay? We have talked with every hoodoo man and root woman in 12 states."
"Yeah, well, Sam and I aren't giving up," Elena told him.
"Nobody's giving up. Especially me. We're gonna find a way to beat the devil, okay? Soon. I can feel it. And we will find Cas, we'll find Adam. But you and Sam are no good to us burnt out."
"Yeah. Yeah, okay."
"We've actually got the night off for us. Let's try to enjoy it."
INT. ELYSIAN FIELDS HOTEL KITCHEN
A server carried a tray of dirty glasses. A severed arm was on the countertop next to a bloody cleaver.

A couple was making out in front of their room. Dean pointed and smiled.
"Oh, what are you, 12?" Sam asked as Elena rolled her eyes.
Dean scoffed. "I'm young at heart." The door creaked and he whistled. "Wow. Look at this. We're like Rockefellers. Chocolates! You two want yours?"
"Knock yourself out," Sam replied.
Elena nodded. "Go ahead."
Dean grabbed the chocolates, then something caught his eye. "Whoa. 'Casa Erotica 13' on demand." Sam scoffed. "What?"
