"Look, Libby, I-- I just think that you should stay back." Sam says.

"Why? Because I'm 15?" She asks.

"Well, that-- that's part of the reason. But also because you've only been off demon blood for a little bit and you're still not super nourished, you know?" Sam says.

"Dad, I'm old enough to handle this. I've been through worse." Libby says.

"That-- that may be true, but... but that may also be true. We're not positive on how bad this place is." Sam says. "It's just-- it's safer if you and your sister stay here."

"Oh, so-- so Evie agreed to this?" Libby questions.

"Yeah, she agreed." Sam nods.

"Your people pleasing good little girl agreed. Of course she did. You're a person and she was pleasing you." Libby says.

"Okay, it-- Libby--"

"It's not safe anywhere." She states. "I-I mean, somebody -- or something -- could break into the bunker. Rowena could go rogue. I could go into town and get hit by a bus."

"Still kinda sounds safer than Apocalypse World." Sam says and Libby rolls her eyes.

"You just said we don't know how much safer it'll be." Libby says.

"Look, Bessie, you're still yo--"

"I'm not a baby anymore!" Libby yells. "Okay? Stop treating me like a fucking five year old. I'm not five! If you wanna coddle somebody, go to your actual baby daughter! I can handle myself! I know I've been an idiot, but I'm not incompetent!"

Sam fails to come up with a response, giving Libby enough time to snatch her bag and storm out of her room.

"Fruit from the tree of life. Blood of a most holy man." Rowena says, getting the ingredients for the spell to open the rift out.

"Dean." Sam calls getting the older one's attention and Sam tosses him a pack of glow sticks.

Rowena pulls a hair out of Dean's head.

"Ow." He whines.

"Something from the other side." Rowena puts his hair into the bowl.

"Hey. How's Gabriel?" Sam asks Cas when he walks in.

"He said he needed a minute alone. He wanted to extract his grace by himself. "In private."" Cas says.

"Ew." Daphne grimaces as Libby gags.

"So I left him alone in Dean's room." Cas says.

"You what? No." Dean complains.

"Better his than ours." Natalie mutters, Jacob quickly nodding in agreement.

"I hate to interrupt, but I can't be the only one to notice the rather glaring hole in our plan." Rowena says. "We open up the rift, it gives us a day to find and save your mom and the boys. And it's a very big world over there and you're not even sure where they are, so..."

"She's right. The clock may run out on us." Cas says.

"Yeah. It might." Sam agrees.

"Yeah, well, we don't have any better ideas." Dean says.

"Mm, that's inspirational." Rowena remarks.

"What he lives for." Ophelia sarcastically smiles.

"Here it is!" Gabriel walks in. "The final ingredient -- a fresh serving of archangel grace." He puts a vial on the table. Rowena picks it up, the group looking at the small amount of grace in there that doesn't even fill up half of the vial.
