GLENWOOD SPRINGS PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL - KETCHUM, OKLAHOMA
INT. DR. FULLER'S OFFICE
Dr. Fuller looked through a file while Dean sat across from him. Sam was sitting next to Dean. Kit was being watched by a nurse Dean had interviewed and given his daughter to once she'd been vouched for, though part of him was still wary.
Dr. Fuller looked back at his file. "You were referred to me by a Dr. Babar in Chicago."
"That's right," Dean said.
"Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar?"
"I don't know. I don't have any elephant books. Look, doctor, I-I-I think the doc was in over his head with this one." He pointed at Sam. "'Cause my brother, her boyfriend, is..." He made a crazy sign by circling his finger at the side of his head and whistled.
Dr. Fuller raised a hand. "Okay, fine, thank you. That's - that's not really necessary." He grabbed his file and notepad. "Why don't you tell me how you're feeling, Alex?"
Sam sighed. "I'm fine. I mean, okay, a little depressed, I guess."
"Okay. Any idea why?"
"Probably because I started the apocalypse."
Dr. Fuller looked up at him. "The apocalypse."
"Yeah, that's right."
He looked at Dean, who smiled. "And you think you started it?"
"Well, yeah, I mean... I killed this demon, Lilith, and I accidentally freed Lucifer from Hell. So now, he's topside, and we're trying to stop him."
Dr. Fuller looked at Dean who looked exasperated. "Who is?"
"Me. A-and him." He pointed to his brother. "And this one angel. And my brother's daughter."
"Oh, you mean, like... like an angel on your shoulder."
"No. His name is Castiel. He wears a trench coat."
Dr. Fuller resumed taking notes.
"See what I mean, Doc?" Dean said. "The kid's been beating himself up about this for months. The apocalypse wasn't his fault."
Dr. Fuller looked up at Dean, stunned. "It's not?"
"No. There was this other demon, Ruby. She got him addicted to demon blood, and near the end, he was practically chugging the stuff."
Dr. Fuller looked at Sam, who looked ashamed, then looked back at Dean.
Dean continued, "My brother's, not evil. He was just... high... yeah? So, could you fix him up so we can get back to traveling around the country and hunting monsters?"
Dr. Fuller put up a finger for them to wait. He picked up his phone and dialed an extension. "Irma... cancel my lunch."
As the doctor hung up, Dean patted Sam comfortingly on the arm.
INT. HALLWAY
A happy nurse led Sam and Dean down a hall. "Doctor Fuller would like to keep you both under observation for a couple of days."
"Both?" Dean repeated. "Me too?"
"Yes, Sugar. The doctor thinks that would be best."
Sam and Dean gave each other victorious smiles.
INT. CHECK-UP ROOM
Happy Nurse wrapped a blood pressure cuff around Dean's right arm. "All right, I'm just gonna give you a little check-up."
