EXT. OUTSIDE

Reykjavik, Iceland

Amara sat reading a book in the pool.

A man walked up behind her and asked in Icelandic, "More wine?"

Amara glanced back and replied in Icelandic, "No. Thank you." The man walked away.

She set her book down and closed her eyes a moment before looking at the sky. A comet passed, followed by many more.

Amara stood, got out of the pool, and slipped on her robe. "Welcome home, brother."

INT. BUNKER

Sam was on the phone. "Nothing? You sure?"

"Yes," Castiel replied. "Azrael and I've sequestered ourselves in the archives..."

EXT. BASILICA OF GUADELOUPE

"...in the Basilica of Guadeloupe chasing down a rumor of a spell so powerful it could, quote, "wound God Himself." But it turns out it was just that -- a rumor." He sighed. "I just -- I don't know what else to do."

INT. BUNKER

"That's all right. We'll find a way. Just get home." The phone beeped as he ended the call.

Dean and Dylan, the latter holding Joanna and Henry, walked in and asked, "That Cas and Rae?"

Sam and Natalia nodded while simply raising their eyebrows at Dean.

"So that's how it's gonna be?" Dean asked. "You two give me the silent treatment?"

"I'm not sure what you want us to say," Sam replied.

"That you two get it. Like I said, killing Amara, Jack dying -- that's the only way."

Dylan frowned at Dean, disappointed he hadn't told them right away.

Sam and Natalia scoffed and Sam said, ""The only way." "Our one shot," "our last chance." You ever get tired of saying stuff like that?"

"We don't have to like it, all right, but you three and me, we gotta get it done."

Henry stuck his tongue out and Dean and spit at him. Joanna repeated her brother's actions.

A clattering sounded and the twins huddled closer to Dylan who gently reassured them.

The Winchesters went to investigate and found Amara getting a beer.

Amara turned and said, "Sam, Dean, Natalia, Dylan. We should talk."

They gathered in the library.

Amara continued. "My brother has returned."

"That means it's time," Jack told the others.

"Did he contact you?" Sam asked.

"He's made himself known," Amara replied. "How do you intend to cage him? When God caged me, he had four archangels. Do you have four archangels?"

"Nope. We got one archangel and one Jack," Dean replied.

Amara looked to Jack before saying, "I wish we'd gotten to know one another. That's my fault. Maybe when all of this is over, we can?"

Jack glanced down and smiled before nodding a little.

"He's been juicing himself up, getting stronger," Dean said.

"But I need to complete a final ritual," Jack added.

Sam and Natalia glanced down while Dylan looked at Jack with concern. Henry and Joanna, who were on the ground, each hugged Jack's leg.
