Miranda wakes up just as the blaring from the horn stops. She lifts her head, looking around, Sam leaning down in the passenger side.

"Hey." He gently calls. "Hey. You okay? Are you hurt?" He cups her face, trying to find any new injuries.

"Well... I hate to admit your brother kicked my ass." Miranda says.

"Speaking of, I'm gonna go find him. Stay here." Sam kisses her on the head and walks off, not leaving any room for discussion.

Miranda groans, lying down across the seat, wincing at her throbbing headache.

"Does she even know what a cheeseburger is?" Dean asks, making Miranda flinch awake from her half asleep state and she sits up. "All I know is that we set her free, and we're gonna put her back in, no matter what it takes." Dean states. He gets in the car. "What the..." He gets out, looking at the back tire that's still in a water filled pothole.

"Just gonna let me get in the car?" Dean asks.

"You were on a roll." Sam shrugs.

Dean stops the car as they pull up to an accident.

"I, uh... I'm good in here." Miranda says. Sam gives her a look and she smiles. Sam sighs and gets out of the car with Dean.

After helping a cop, Jenna, who has an injury to her side, Dean drives to the hospital. He parks out front, an abandoned ambulance outside.

"Wait here." Dean says.

"I got to call this in." Jenna says as they go into the hospital, Sam pushing her in a wheelchair.

"No, bad idea. More people, more bodies. We'll deal with this." Dean says.

"You know what, Dean, I'm gonna take a look around. You sew her up." Sam says.

"All right." Dean says and Sam walks off. "You know this place?"

"This way." Jenna points.

"Okay." Dean says.

"Okay. We'll split up. Cover more ground." Miranda says.

"Wh-- wait, wait, hey. Uh... n-no." Sam protests.

"Sam, I'm fine." She tells him.

"But there's safety in numbers. We-- we don't even know what this shit is." Sam says.

"Okay, well, maybe we'll find out sooner if we split up." Miranda says. "I'll be safe, promise." She pecks him on the lips before walking away.

"The doc said it was gonna be a tough birth, but Janie... she stepped up. The twister hit, the power went out. She just kept on going. No drugs. Just pushed out this little dewdrop like she was nothing. Then Janie started bleeding. They tried, but... you'd think they'd know how to stop something like that."

"I'm so sorry, Mike." Jenna tells him.

"You think you could tell us what happened here?" Dean asks.

"I went outside, after... to collect myself. A truckload of 'em pulled up." Mike says.

"The road crew?" Sam asks.

"They didn't say nothing. They just went off, attacking folks like they were possessed. I tore back inside to get this little one. I found that supply closet, and you know, been there since. I could hear them, though. Tearing through the halls. Doctors, nurses -- they didn't care."
