( FACE YOUR FEARS )

       A ball hits the "30" ring of the skeeball machine. Dean beams. He tears off the three tickets that come out of the machine and looks less pleased. Jean comes out of the break room. Dean tosses another ball, which goes into a "100" ring, but doesn't wait to collect the tickets.

      He follows Jean as she grabs a jacket and goes outside through an "Employees Only" door. He watches as she lights a joint.

      Sam receives a text from "Dean Cell": "High Times not our gal." Howard is reading Sam's FBI business card. "Special Agent? Wow!" Howard laughs. "I want you to know, sir, that I really appreciate what you do, and—"

      "Quiet." Elena says sternly.

       "I would do what she says." Says Sam.

       A chubby boy is kneeling on the skeeball machine putting the balls directly into the rings. "Hey! Stop cheating!" Tyler yells. The boy looks at him and goes back to what he was doing.

       "You heard him. Knock it off!" Dean yells. The boy gets off the machine and runs away.

       "Jackass." Tyler and Dean say together and look at each other. Dean smiles. Libby walks towards Tyler carrying a piece of pizza on a plate.

      "Tyler, soup's on." Libby says as Tyler walks over to a child-sized table and sits down. She has put the plate down in front of his seat. Dean takes the tickets from the skeeball machine left by the boy who was cheating.

       "But, Mom, I don't want—" Tyler starts.

       "Just eat it." Libby says.

       "But it sucks!" Tyler yells as Libby sighs and walks away. Tyler moves the plate to one side, pulls a placemat on which he is drawing a picture closer to him, and picks up a pencil.

       "Hey, why don't you cut her some slack?" Dean asks.

       "What do you care?" Asks Tyler.

       "Because I've been where you are."

       "Your mom made you camp at a stupid Plucky's after school?" Tyler asks.

       "Y– no. No, but my dad, he... hauled me places. Besides, she's working a tough gig." Dean nods towards Libby, who is cleaning up a spill in the restaurant area. "You know? She's exhausted. You should take pity on the old. And, hey, free grub."

      "That stuff tastes like butt." Tyler says.

       "What? Come on, it can't be that bad." Dean picks up Tyler's plate. "Let's see here." He takes a bit of the pizza and chews. "Ah..." He spits the pizza out. "That is butt."

       Dean puts the plate down. Tyler smiles. Dean looks at Tyler's drawing, which is of a robot with red beams coming from its eyes.

       "You scared of robots?" Dean asks.

       "They have laser eyes." Tyler says.

       "Yes." Dean says as Howard walks past from the break room.

       A Child tugs on his vest from behind. "Excuse me." He says.

       "Howdy, friend! What's your name?" Howard and the Child shake hands.

      "Evan."

      "Hi." Howard says as Dean takes out his phone.

       Sam receives a text from "Dean Cell": "Nope." Someone is a lion costume is seated at the table. Sam is standing. "Lose the head." He says. A Young Man lifts off the head of the costume.
