Ben returned home, having gone on an overnight trip to check out a lead that could lead to Patrick Wheat's missing twins. While the lead didn't pan out, he still knew he was getting close. Parking the Impala in the driveway, Ben checked the mail before heading into the house.

"Let's see... junk mail, junk mail, hey, a letter from Mikey," Ben said as he opened the door, where a shirtless Adam raised his head from the sofa that was facing the t.v.

"Oh, hey Ben, didn't expect you home so soon," Adam said.

"Okay, I'm assuming that Alfie and Jesse are still getting his stuff from his old place, and since you said you might be bringing your boyfriend over... Oh, dear God, are you two--?"

"Well, I guess this is just a good a time as any to introduce you," Adam said. "I want you to meet Matt."

Matt raised his head from the couch, smiling at Ben bashfully. "Hi."

Ben just stood there, silent for a brief moment before he started chuckling, which then turned into full blown laughter. "Uh, Adam... honey? May I speak to you in the designated baking area?"

"I'll be right back," Adam said, giving Matt a kiss as he pulled on his jeans and followed Ben into the kitchen. "You said you'd be cool with me having Matt over."

"I am, but you never mentioned one little, tiny, insignificant speck of information," Ben said as he put his hands on Adam's shoulders and started shaking him. "Do you see ANY resemblance between this guy and a certain former angel friend of ours? Any at all?"

"Oh, you mean you think that--"

"I don't think, I know that this guy is a dead ringer for Alfie."

"He is not, Matt's hair is combed way differently, and he doesn't talk like a second grader."

"HE LOOKS. JUST. LIKE. ALFIE!"

Adam just sighed as he sat down. "Look, at first, yeah, I thought it too. But the more I started to get to know Matt, I didn't see it anymore. I don't have feelings for Alfie, Ben. Maybe at first, but, after those first few hundred years in Hell, I could never be with Alfie in that way. Climbing out of Hell made us close, but not in that way. I really like Matt, I think I'm falling in love. But I want you and Alfie to be cool with this. You guys are my brothers, your opinions matter."

Ben looked out into the living room at Matt. "Well, his hair does look way different than Alfie's, I'll give him that. You really don't see any resemblance?"

"If I did, you wouldn't be catching us about to fu--"

"OKAY, I believe you!" Ben shouted as he covered his ears. "Just try to keep it in your bedroom, okay? So, if you're really into this guy, have you told him about the deal you made?"

"Not yet," Adam told him. "I'm trying to find a way to break it to him gently. But I still have five months. Hey, what's that?" Adam asked as he saw the letter in Ben's hand.

"Oh, it's from my old Hunting buddy Mikey," Ben said as he read it. "His baby brother Asher's getting married. You up for going to a wedding? Sounds like it's going to be a big Hunter get together."

"Hey, I'd love to meet more Hunters," Adam told him. "But, uh, what about Alfie and Jesse? You think it's a good idea to bring an angel and the Anti-Christ to a Hunter shindig?"

"Ooh, good point," Ben said. "But I think I know the solution. You going to invite Matt?"

"S-- seriously?"

"Well, it'll be a good chance to get to know him, and you can break the news of you being ripped apart by Hellhounds and dragged to Hell gently to him."
