042. missouri reunion

Sam and Larissa are sitting in the library and Sam is on the phone with Jody. Athena is on Larissa's lap, still attached to her mother's hip.

"Yeah, yeah, no, I hear you. Yeah, thank you, Jody. Yeah." Sam says before hanging the phone up as Dean walks in.

"What's up?" Dean asks.

"You'll never believe this. I got a call from Missouri Moseley." Sam states.

"Wow. What's it been, like, a decade?" Dean asks.

"More." Sam corrects.

"How is she?" Dean asks.

"Not great. She said that she got out of the life for a while, but something happened and she needed help with a case, so I put Jody on it." Sam explains.

"Why would you do that?" Dean asks.

"Because we need to stay here. We need to help Jack learn how to control his powers. Jody can handle this."

"Yeah, maybe she can. Or maybe she ends up dead because you wanted to skip out on her to babysit the Antichrist."

"Dean, we need him."

"No, don't."

"Libby, Billy, and mom..."

"Don't. You... if you want to stay here and Mr. Miyagi this kid, knock yourself out. I didn't sign up for that. So I'm going to go to work." Dean walks out.

"Well, if you're gonna go, take the teens." Larissa says.

"Why?" Dean asks.

"Because they need to get out of the house." Larissa says. "They're all already mentally unstable enough in general, but dealing with Libby and Billy being gone, they're a little worse. So just get them out of the house, okay?"

Dean rolls his eyes as he walks out.

"I don't see why I have to be here." Daphne says.

"I don't see either, but unless you wanted Larissa's mom glare, you're stuck with us." Dean says. "So just... put on your happy face."

"Are you gonna put your happy face on?" Daphne questions.

"This is my happy face." Dean says.

"That's your normal face." Daphne says.

"Yeah, and your normal face sucks, dude." Nathan says. Dean glares back at him. "She said it." He points at Ophelia.

"Wimp." Ophelia mumbles.

"You want your boyfriend alive, yes?" Nathan quietly asks.

Dean pulls up to the crime scene. Daphne rolls her eyes, reluctantly getting out of the car with the others.

"Dean and Ophelia Winchester!" Missouri smiles.

"Missouri, Jody. I'm not sure which one to hug first." Dean says, Jody motioning for him to hug Missouri. "Hey." He hugs the woman. Ophelia hugs Jody and then Nathan hugs her. Daphne accepts Jody's hug.

"Oh, honey, I'm sorry for your losses." Missouri tells the older Winchester.

"Ah, leave it to a psychic to cut right through the small talk, huh?" Dean says.

"Come here." Jody holds an arm out to Dean.

"Hey." He greets, hugging her.

"Little Ophelia Winchester. My how you've grown." Missouri smiles, hugging the girl.

"Hi, Missouri." Ophelia says, hugging her back.

"I'm sorry for your losses... and all you've been through. About Libby..." Missouri frowns, gently squeezing Ophelia's hand. "You have control of your powers... and you even got more. That's amazing."
