"So, teenagers, huh? Fun." Miranda remarks.

"Yeah. Yeah, we, uh... we should get ready. Carly is about to get a lot worse." Sam remarks. "And then Wyatt... and then Serena... we're not having more kids, right?"

"Three's enough." Miranda states.

"Three's enough." Sam sighs in relief.

"John Wayne Gacy's ghost. Well, that's one for the record books." Dean comments.

"Dean." Sam calls.

"Hmm?" He hums.

"I think this is it." Sam says.

"The pearl?" Dean asks.

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"Let's do it." Dean says.

"Are you-- are you sure you don't want to call mom or-or wait for Cas?" Sam asks.

"No. No, cause, you know, if this mojo works like you say, great. If not... why get their hopes up?" Dean says, standing up.

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"Okay." Dean says and Sam gives him the pearl.

"So, what do I..."

"I don't know. I-I guess you-- you hold the pearl and-and concentrate on what your heart desires."

"Michael outta my head. Got it." He picks the pearl up and holds it in his hand. He glances at the couple and then closes his fist around the pearl and he shuts his eyes.

The lights in the bunker start to flicker and the red emergency lights come on. Miranda turns just as somebody swings at Sam, the man dodging the hit.

Miranda charges at the person, but he easily knocks her down. Dean swings at him, almost getting a hit until the man wins the fight.

Miranda tenses up when she hears a gun cock.

"Don't you move." The man orders.

The emergency lights go off, the normal lights coming back on. Miranda's eyes widen when she recognizes the face of the man.

"Dad?" Dean asks.

"Dean? Sam? What in the hell?" John asks. The three get up, Miranda moving closer to her husband. "Sammy. Aren't you supposed to be in Palo Alto?" John asks.

"Palo Alto?" Sam asks, frowning in confusion.

"What happened to you?" John asks.

"What year is it?" Dean asks.

"It's 2003." John answers.

"It's 2021." Sam corrects.

"No. How?" John asks.

"We, uh... I-I think we summoned you." Sam says.

"You kids better tell me what the fuck is going on right now." John says.

They're sitting in the kitchen, John sitting across from the three at the table. Sam is sitting in the middle, Miranda leaning against the wall to create distance between her and John.

"So, you saved the world?" John asks.

"More than once." Dean says.

"Then it's all true. God, the devil, you boys smack in the middle. Now you live in a secret bunker with an angel and Lucifer's kid." John says.

"Yeah." Dean nods.

"And you two are married?" John glances between Miranda and Sam.

"Uh, y-yeah." Sam nods. Miranda gives the supposedly dead man a tight lipped smile.
