Changes

String Bean! I thought you were dead.

[Sam walks towards Ophelia an and Marco and sees the dead cultists.]

[Dean is lying on the stone table that Sandy had been chained to. He slowly opens his eyes and takes in the room. He tries to get free , but he is chained to the table.]

[Yokoth shoots tentacles at Ophelia and Marco who dive out of the way. Sam tackles Yokoth, driving her back against the table where Dean is chained. She hits Sam with a tentacle, knocking him down. Dean works at the lock holding hi his right hand down.]

[Ketch ducks behind the arch and pull pulls Gabriel into view.

No,no that’s impossible. He…he’s dead. We -- we saw him die.

Here. Take that. And, uh...

[Ketch pulls out the Archangel archangel blade and also puts that on the table.]

The Archangel archangel blade.

Protection. From Asmodeus.

I don’t know what the hell’s going on here. But if this helps us get Mom back, helps us get Jack back , then...sure. Whatever you want.

[Dean uncocks his gun and puts in it down on his bag.]

[Some time later, Sam and Gabriel are sitting at a library table. Sam is using a scalpel and tweezers to remove the stitches from Gabriel’s mouth.]

Gabriel...Man , what happened to you?

And I’m coming with you. As I said, Asmodeus will be hunting to the ends of the Earthearth, so it’s better if I’m not on this Earth.

Oh, there’s no such thing as safer over there. You know that. I know you don’t like this, okay? I don’t expect you to. This is the way it’s gonna be.

[Sam prepares the spell while Ketch and Dean watch. Dean pulls out some of his hair and puts it in the spell.]

Koth Munto Notoxmunto notox.

[Dean walks over to the rift, then turns to look at Sam. Sam nods minutely and then Dean and Ketch walk through the rift , which flashes as they enter. Sam is left staring at the glowing rift.]
