084. can't breathe

Larissa is asleep, but wakes up when she feels the bed move and Sam's warmth leave. She opens her eyes, watching him sit up and realizes he's breathing heavily.

"Sammy?" She groggily calls. "Baby, you okay?"

"I-- ye-yeah. Yeah, no, I'm... I'm fine." Sam says.

"You sure?" She asks.

"Yeah. Yeah. Just... just go back to sleep. I'm okay." Sam says, rubbing her shoulder.

Ophelia walks into the kitchen as Dean leaves.

"Hey--" He starts, but she ignores him. Dean sighs and walks out. Sam grabs a piece of what Dean told him was veggie bacon. Before he can take a bite, Ophelia grabs the piece of bacon in his hand and the plate.

"Wh--" Sam looks up at her.

"It's not veggie bacon. He's being an insensitive jackass. Not respecting your boundaries or preferences." Ophelia says, putting the plate on the counter.

"Of course." Sam mumbles.

Ophelia gets what she needs to make waffles, partly hoping it'll calm her down. Sam notices her grab something out of the fridge and put it on the counter before seemingly start to cook bacon.

"You know, there's the plate of bacon right there." Sam points out.

"I know. That's meat bacon. This is veggie bacon." Ophelia says.

"What?" Sam asks, a confused laugh leaving him.

"I got veggie bacon yesterday when Nate and I went to the store. Figured why leave you out." Ophelia says.

"Oh. Thanks, honey. I appreciate it." Sam softly smiles at her.

"You're welcome." Ophelia says.

"You know, you're a lot nicer than your dad. Who raised you?" Sam questions.

"I did." Ophelia says.

"Joke gone wrong." Sam mumbles.

"It's fine." Ophelia chuckles. "You, Natty, Rissa, and Jacob helped, I suppose."

"We love you, you know?" Sam says, kissing her on the head.

"I know." Ophelia says.

"And we'll still love you after you and Nate move out." Sam says.

"You can come visit. Hell, move in next door. Just don't bring dad." Ophelia says.

"Deal." Sam ruffles her hair.

The three siblings, Larissa, and Jacob are in town on a case, nobody else wanting to come along.

"Yeah, watch the bikes. Davis, use a crosswalk. Let's go! Keep it moving!" Mrs. Bailey orders students while she's with Sam, Natalie, and Jacob.

"So... our victim..." Sam says.

"Susie Martin." Mrs. Bailey says.

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"What happened to her, I can't even imagine." Mrs. Bailey says.

"The police said she was last seen here." Natalie says.

"After cheer practice." Mrs. Bailey nods.

"And the, uh, security cameras?" Jacob asks.

"Uh, the police checked but nothing." Mrs. Bailey says.

"Was she close to anyone?" Sam asks.

"Susie was close to everyone. She was part of the drama club, debate team, cheerleading, campus ministry... you name it."
