053. second trial

They get to the boathouse and Dean loudly knocks on the door.

"Kevin, open up! Kevin!" Dean yells through the door. The door opens and Kevin is there, looking like a mess and holding an iron skillet. "Whoa! Whoa. Geez. What's going on? What's with the SOS?" He asks as they walk in the boat.

"It's him." Kevin states.

"It's who?" Sam asks.

"Crowley." Kevin says.

"What about him?" Dean asks.

"He's in my head." Kevin says.

"He's... in your head." Sam repeats.

"Do you know what that means?" Kevin asks.

"Yeah, it means we need to up your anxiety meds." Dean says. Natalie smacks him.

"Maybe we should give you, like, six melatonins." Ophelia says.

"Kevin, you're dreaming. Look, if Crowley knew where you were, he'd do a hell of a lot more than mess with your head." Dean says.

"Yeah, he'd come and either kidnap or kill you." Ophelia says.

"All right, where's Garth?" Sam asks.

"On a case or-- or the dentist. I don't know. I haven't heard from him." Kevin says.

"Hopefully he's not off killing one of the tooth fairies." Libby mutters. Kevin looks at her in confusion.

"Okay, well, what did you want to tell us that you couldn't say on the phone?" Dean asks.

"Let's just take the frying pan away first, Rapunzel." Ophelia takes the object from him.

"I love Rapunzel!" Libby grins. "Especially Flynn. Well, Eugene. Whichever name you wanna use."

"No more Tangled for her." Sam whispers to Larissa making her give him an amused look.

"I translated the second trial from the tablet." Kevin informs.

"You... crazy prophet, you. Nice work!" Dean compliments.

"And if Crowley's in my head, he knows." Kevin says.

"Okay, he's definitely not in your head." The brothers state.

"He's not in your head, Kevin. It's okay. Just... we know you're distressed. Just stay with us, all right? What's the second trial?" Sam asks.

"An innocent soul has to be rescued from Hell and delivered unto Heaven." Kevin explains.

"What?" Dean asks.

""Unto." That's-- that's how God talks." Kevin says.

"Rescue a soul from Heaven? Like actually... go to Hell? How--how do you get a soul unto Heaven? I mean, how do you even get a soul out of Hell?" Sam asks.

"We're gonna need an expert." Dean says.

After summoning a crossroads demon, it gave the family the information they needed. Dean pulls to a stop at the side of the street of the city they're in. They get out of the car, the adults forcing Libby to stay in the Impala with Athena and Ophelia in Jaco and Natalie's car with the twins.

Libby looks over as Athena babbles, a hand held out.

"You're not that cute." Libby frowns. Athena coos, making a grabby hand motion. "Don't look at me. I'm not holding you and you can't eat my chest."

The five adults cross the street to a yellow cab where the driver is standing next it and reading a newspaper.

"Ajay. Need to talk to you for a sec." Dean says.
