( MY BEST FRIEND'S  A VAMPIRE )

FLASHBACK

WAREHOUSE
[ ☼ ]

        Kevin walks up a flight of stairs with a Demon.

       "First, he took me to a warehouse."

       Crowley is waiting for them. "Look at you. Haircut, manicure, pedicure. Like a new penny." He says.

       "Will there be torture now?" Kevin asks.

       "Torture? Heavens, no. No. Quite the opposite, my young prince. Sky's the limit for you and I." Crowley puts a hand on Kevin's shoulder and leads him across the room.

       "There was a tablet there, like the last one."

       Crowley motions Kevin into a chair in front of a stone tablet. "There we go. Now, remember – feel like a winner, be a winner. Okay? Interpret." He says.

CHURCH
[ ☼ ]

       "Wait, there's another tablet? So another Word of God." Dean says.

       Kevin nods. "Yes." He says.

       "How many Words of God are there?" Asks Dean.

       "I just became a Prophet, like, a year ago."

       "Well, did this tablet have a name?" Sam asks.

       "'Demons'."

      "What about demons?" Asks Dean.

       "As far as I could tell... everything."

FLASHBACK

WAREHOUSE
[ ☼ ]

        "What are we looking at?" Crowley asks him.

        "It's all just fragments. Bits and pieces. This is hard." Kevin says.

        "Throw me a bone here, Kev."

        "Wait..." Kevin says.

        "Yes?" Crowley says.The tablet seems to shake and blur in Kevin's hands.

        "I'm sorry. Is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

         "Is it? Our mistake." Crowley mouths 'Turn it up' to the Demon, who nods and leaves.

        "Okay. I see something. Hell Gates." Says Kevin.

        "Talk to me."

CHURCH
[ ☼ ]

        "What about Hell Gates?" Sam asks.

        "There's one in Wisconsin. The tablet told me how to open it. There were ingredients for a spell."

FLASHBACK

WAREHOUSE
[ ☼ ]

        Kevin is using a mortar and pestle. He adds something to a large bowl. Demons bring other ingredients to the table and Kevin continues to prepare the spell.

        He looks up and nods to one of the Demons, who is on his cell phone. "Right away." He turns to Kevin. "Mr. Crowley would like you to proceed."

       "Where is Mr. Crowley?" Asks Kevin.

       "Where do you think, dumbass? Wisconsin." He says as Kevin lights a match and holds it above the bowl. "Go." Kevin smiles and drops the match.

END FLASHBACK

CHURCH
[ ☼ ]

       "You showed the King of Hell how to open a Hell Gate?" Dean asks. "So that all the demons in Hell could come out all at the same time?"

       "What? No." Kevin says.

FLASHBACK

WAREHOUSE
[ ☼ ]

        The match falls into the bowl. Flames flare up and light engulfs the Demons, who burn up while being flung backwards into the wall.

WISCONSIN FIELD
[ ☼ ]

       "Men?" Crowley asks on the phone.

WAREHOUSE
[ ☼ ]

        Kevin takes the tablet and runs.

WISCONSIN FIELD
[ ☼ ]

       "Kevin? Kevin?" The camera pans out and we see that Crowley is surrounded by goats.

END FLASHBACK

CHURCH
[ ☼ ]

       Kevin smiles. "I told Crowley I was opening a Hell Gate, but I was reading from another chapter – how to destroy demons." He says.

       "You son of a bitch." Dean says.

       "Wait. Kevin? Where's the tablet now?" Elena asks.

       "Safe."

       "Safe where?" She asks.

       "Hey. As long as it's safe, okay?" Dean says. "Were you able to read anything else off the tablet before you stashed it?"

      "Only the stuff about closing the gates of Hell. Forever."

       "Come again?" Dean asks.

       "Banish all demons off the face of the Earth, lock them away forever. That could be important, right?" Kevin asks as Sam and Dean look at each other.

      "Closing the gates of Hell forever? Yeah. Yeah, that could be important."

       Elena stays inside as Dean and Sam exit the church and stand talking outside it. She walks closer to Kevin. "You skipped parts of that story." She says.

       "I figured you didn't want them to know everything." Kevin says and backs away from her.

       "I'm not gonna hurt you, Kevin." Elena says.

       "Like that's ever stopped you before."

       Elena crosses her arms. "You know why I had to do everything that I did. I needed answers." She says.

      "But you didn't have to go to him for them."

      Meanwhile, Dean and Sam are still talking. "Okay, if this kid is right, he's sitting on a bombshell. Hell, he is the bombshell." Dean says and Sam looks away. "What?"

       "That. I mean, there's no way that Kevin's getting out of this intact, is there?" Asks Sam.

       "Well, he's doing pretty well for himself so far."

       "Yeah, he got out." Sam says.

        "And now he's in it... whether he likes it or not." Dean says.

        "So...free will, that's only for you?"

       "I can't believe what I'm hearing. Sam, we have an opportunity to wipe the slate clean. We take Kevin to the tablet, he tells us the spell, we send every demon back to hell – forever." Dean says. "Every single bastard that destroyed our lives, killed our mother, killed Jess. And you're not sure?"

       Sam walks in and sits in a pew behind Kevin. "Kevin, I, uh... I owe you an apology. Um... look, when you disappeared and Dean disappeared, I...needed to clear my head, and... I'm thinking maybe you were one of the pieces that I should have been there to pick up." Sam says.

         "You've been a hunter since you were a kid, right?" Kevin asks.

         "Yeah, mostly. Yeah." Sam says.

        "Ever since I realized I was a prophet... It's just hard to believe this is actually my life."

        "Yeah. It sucks right now. I know that. Um, it might suck for a lot longer, but..." Sam says. "...trust me on this – it gets better."

       Kevin turns to look at Sam. "You know I'm not gay, right?" He says.

        "If we can do this, get the tablet, get you everything you need to close the gates of Hell, there's a world out there where nobody – not Crowley, no demon – is chasing you anymore."

      "I guess I just don't see how I get from here to there." Says Kevin.

        "I used to not be able to see it, either. But there is a way." Sam says.

       "Just give me five minutes." Kevin walks off. Dean stands in the doorway watching Sam.

FLASHBACK

RIVER BLUFF
VETERINARY HOSPITAL
[ ☾]

         Sam sits in the waiting room, looking down with his hands clasped and jiggling his feet. Roberta is behind the counter. The Vet comes into the room to talk to him. Sam stands up.

         "He's sustained some serious internal bleeding. There's at least two leg fractures that I can see right now. But with some TLC, he should pull through for you." She says.

        Sam sighs in relief. "Thanks, Doctor." He says.

       "You're gonna take the dog?"

       "Look, I-I would. He's... not mine." Sam says.

        "He's not anybody's."

        "I-I spend a lot of the time on the road." Says Sam.

        "Don't you think you're responsible?"

        "Why do you think I brought him here?"

        "Roberta, could you hand this man his trophy on his way out, please?" She says. "Well, maybe if you were such an upstanding guy, you wouldn't have hit him in the first place?"

       "Fine. I'll take him." Sam says.

        "There's my hero."

END FLASHBACK

CHURCH
[ ☾]

         Kevin is walking into the room to join Sam, Elena and Dean when the church starts to shake. Sam draws Dean's attention to the floorboards breaking. "We got company. Sam." Dean hands Sam a knife and picks up his weapon from Purgatory.

        "What the hell is that?" Sam asks.

       "It's Purgatory." Dean says as Elena pulls out her weapon. The doors fly open and two Demons enter.

       "Dean Winchester. Back from Purgatory." One Demon says.

       "Spanky the demon." Dean says as Sam moves to stand in front of Kevin. "Yeah, I heard about you. You're the one who uses too much teeth, right?"

       The Demons rush for Dean and Sam and they fight. Kevin squirts one of the Demons with holy water from a squeeze bottle. Sam kills one of the demons with the knife.

        "Dean!" Sam passes the knife to Dean, who is struggling with the other Demon. Dean kills the Demon with the knife.

       "Hello, boys." Crowley and Channing are standing in the doorway. "Dean. You're looking... well, let's just say Purgatory didn't do you any favors. Where's your angel?"

       "Ask your mother."

       "There's that grade-school zip. Missed it. I really did." Crowley turns to Sam. "Moose. Still with the pork chops. I admire that."

        "Let Channing go." Kevin says.

       "That's not Channing, Kevin. Not anymore." Elena says.

        "What an awful thing to say to the boy. Of course it's Channing. Kev. Last time we danced, you stole my tablet and killed my men." Crowley says. "Tell you what. Come with me now, bygones. And I'll let the girl go back to... What's-the-Point U."

        "He's lying. You won't get Channing back. She's probably dead already." Dean says.

       Crowley sighs. "Will you please stop saying that? Let the girl speak." He snaps his fingers.

        "Kevin?" Channing says.

        "Channing?"

        "What's going on?" She asks

        "There's a demon in you, and you're going to your safety school." Kevin says.

        "What?!"

        "But it's gonna be okay." Says Kevin

        "I-I-I-I just – I can't." Crowley says.

        "No, no, wait." Kevin says as Crowley snaps his fingers again and Channing's eyes turn black. "Okay. I'll do it."

        "Kevin." Sam says.

        "Myself for the girl. But this ends. All right? No fighting, no nothing. It ends."

        "Can't let you do that, buddy." Dean says.

        "Or what? You'll kill me?" Kevin asks and turns to Crowley. "I'll grab my stuff." He leaves.

        "Chin up, gentlemen. I'm a professional." Says Crowley.

        "This ain't over by a long shot, Crowley." Dean says. 

       "Really, Dean, who writes your stuff? A marshmallow?" Crowley calls out to Kevin. "Come on, Kevin. Chop, chop." He pauses. "Kevin?" Crowley takes a step forward and Dean raises the knife. He snaps his fingers and the knife glows red. Dean drops it.

       "Aah!"

        "Ready, boys?" Crowley walks past Sam and Dean. "Kevin!" Dean picks up the knife.

       Crowley, with Channing behind him, opens another door in the church. Kevin is standing in the room holding the end of a cord.

        "Kevin." Crowley says as Kevin pulls the cord and holy water drops onto them. They yell.

       "Sam, Dean, run!" Kevin yells as Crowley and Channing continue to yell and sizzle. Sam, Elena, Dean and Kevin run for the Impala. Crowley and Channing come outside the church.

       "Find another meatsuit." Crowley says. Black smoke pours from her mouth. We see the Impala drive past the church in slow motion.

       As Kevin and Sam watch, Crowley makes a hand motion and Channing's neck snaps. She falls to the ground. The Impala speeds away and Crowley wipes his face with a handkerchief.

GAS STATION
[ ☼ ]

         The Impala pulls up to the pumps. Dean's phone rings. "Hello?" He listens. "Wrong number." He hangs up. "Automated jackass. All right, anybody want anything?"

        "I'm good." Sam says. Dean turns to look at Kevin in the back seat. He doesn't respond. Dean looks at Sam.

        "Kevin? How you holding up?" Sam asks.

       "Awesome. The king of Hell just snapped my girlfriend's neck. How about you?" Kevin asks and Sam and Dean look at each other.

         "All right, listen to me. I'm sorry about your girlfriend, okay? I am. But the sooner you get this, the better." Dean says. "You're in it now, whether you like it or not. That means you do what you got to do. I'm hitting the head."

        Dean gets out of the Impala and walks towards the men's room. He stops and makes a call on his cell phone. "There he is." Benny says.

        "How did you get a phone?" Asks Dean.

CEMETERY
[ ☼ ]

        Benny is wearing a dark cap and dark sunglasses. A funeral is in progress around a gravesite behind him. The remainder of the scene alternates between Dean at the gas station and Benny in the cemetery.

       "Would you believe they sell these things in convenience stores now? A lot's changed in 50 years." Benny says.

       "Must be a hell of a lot to take in."

       "Mostly it's the choices, you know? So many choices." Benny turns to look at the funeral party.

       "Yeah, I hear that. Listen, Benny, not to beat a dead horse. What we did down there is what we had to do. Now, I don't regret it for a second." Dean says. "But... you know, maybe until we both adjust, it's best we don't talk for a while."

       "There it is."

        "One day at a time, just like we talked about, right?" Dean says.

       "I think you had it right, bud."

       "What's that?" Asks Dean.

       "Purgatory was pure. I'm kind of wishin' I had appreciated it more. You know? Like you." Benny says.

        "Listen, you got an emergency, you call me, you understand?"

       "I hear you. You keep your nose clean, too, brother." Benny says.

      "Yeah."
