THEN


From 3.06 "Red Sky at Morning", in the abandoned house, Catty, Sam and Dean were talking.

"We are not the only hunters on the planet," Dean told them.

From 2.03 "Bloodlust", in the bar, Gordon Walker was sitting at a table, smoking.

From 2.03 "Bloodlust", on the mill, Conrad the Vampire turned around to see Gordon behind him. Gordon slashed his machete toward him.

From 4.02 "Are You There, God? It's Me, Catty Winchester", in Olivia's apartment, Olivia shot a Ghost in the chest, making him disappear.

From 5.02 "Good God, Y'All!", in the supposed Demon town, Rufus fired his automatic gun at the supposed Demons.

From 6.04 "Singers' Weekend", outside Bobby's House, Bobby pulled the Okami off Ness, throwing her into the wood chipper. Blood splattered out of the exit and entrance, all over Ness.

From 9.11 "First Born", in the pawn shop, Tara the hunter aimed her shotgun at Dean, Ness and Crowley.

"Hunters, so trusting," Crowley told them sarcastically.

From 9.11 "First Born", in the pawn shop, Tara shot a Demon with her shotgun.

From 11.08 "Just My Imagination", in the barn, the family, Sully and Reese were talking.

"We've seen more than our share of monsters," Dean told her.

From 11.11 "Into the Mystic", in the retirement home, the Banshee soared toward Sam.

From 2.20 "What Is and What Never Should Be", in the warehouse, the Djinn kept Catty pinned to the wall by her throat, his eyes starting to glow blue, opening his hand. A blue glow surrounded it. 

From 10.17 "Inside Man", in the restaurant, Rowena started to glow with purple light. The purple light soared toward Ness, but it didn't hurt her. 

Dean: (voice over from 11.08 Just My Imagination) "And I mean real monsters."

From 11.09 "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", in Lucifer's Cage, Lucifer looked over his shoulder, smirking.

From 2.19 "Folsom Prison Blues", in the bathroom, Nurse Glockner went up in flames, burning away out of existence.

From 11.18 "Hell's Angel", in the old church, the Darkness walked in.

Dean: (voice over from 11.08 Just My Imagination) "Bad monsters."

From 11.18 "Hell's Angel", in the old church, Octavia/Lucifer was trapped in the circle of Holy Fire. The family, Crowley and Levi stood nearby.

"Ava!" Sam told her desperately.

Octavia/Lucifer called her name to mock the way Sam had said it. "Ava!" Sam glared at him in frustration and anger. Octavia/Lucifer laughed. "You know, Sam, I thought that I could not take any more from you than I had taken from you while we had been in the Cage together. But this? Taking your little Ava and the lives inside Ava really takes the cake." He smirked, opening her overlapping, waterfall leather jacket to expose her torso. There was a decent-sized baby bump. The others stared in shock. Octavia/Lucifer smirked, closing her jacket. "Two little Nephilims. Half Angel, half Human."

From 11.18 "Hell's Angel", in the old church, the Darkness noticed that Lucifer's Angel Grace was leaving Octavia's vessel. She used magic to push Lucifer's Angel Grace back into Octavia's vessel. Sabrina's essence left Octavia's vessel. It started to soar toward her own body. The Darkness held her hand toward Sabrina's essence, making it stop midair so she couldn't return to her body. Octavia/Lucifer woke up. He turned to see the Darkness.

"Oh, Lucifer," the Darkness told him. "Dear nephew, my, how you've changed." The Horn started to glow with power, the power seeping into Octavia/Lucifer's body. They started to glow with power, her eyes completely white. He held her hand toward the Darkness, sending a long stream of light into her chest. Wind was starting to blow back everyone's hair. The white light completely enveloped the Darkness. Sam, Dean, Catty, Castiel, Crowley and Levi had to look away from the bright white light. The power from the Horn faded. The light faded into nothing. The Darkness was still standing, unharmed. Everyone was stunned and confused, in shock. Octavia/Lucifer lowered her hand to her side. The Darkness held her hand toward Octavia/Lucifer, using magic to bring them closer to her, making him drop the Horn. She put a hand on her head. "I think you and I need to have a nice, long chat."

Sabrina's essence was finally let go. It flowed back into her body. She woke up. The Darkness made Octavia/Lucifer and herself disappear with a flash of bright white light.

From 11.18 "Hell's Angel", in the warehouse, the Darkness held her hand toward Octavia/Lucifer, using magic to push them against the wall, pinning them. "You may be the one thing in all of creation that He still cares about. The one thing that could finally make Him show Himself."

The Darkness turned to face Octavia/Lucifer, holding her hand toward them, using magic to cause them a great deal of agony, with white light starting to glow from Ava's chest and eyes so much it made them scream in agony.

Flashback - 1989

Gunnison, Colorado

Day - Woods


A teenage guy and a 12-year-old boy were walking through the woods with fishing gear.

"It finally happened," the boy told him.

"What, you didn't get detention this week?" the guy asked.

"Me and Jackie, we kissed," the boy told him. 

"Great," the guy told him. "Can I stop hearing about him every two minutes now? 'Do you think he likes me?' 'Jackie looked at me. I--I think he looked at me.'"

"He definitely likes me," the boy told him. 

"Jesse, you know you gotta be careful, right?" the guy asked.

"I'm not an idiot," Jesse told him.

"Yeah, I know," the guy told him. "But it's not just Ned and Charlie and those dicks who will stomp your head it." They reached a bridge over the lake. "I mean, everybody at school and in town? They won't leave you alone."

"Okay," Jesse told him. "I wish we were gone already. Can't you lie and say you're 18 and get a fake ID?"

"California's expensive, okay?" the guy asked. "We just gotta save some more money."

"You could sell your collection," Jesse told him.

"I will," the guy told him. "Okay? When it's time. I can get at least $900 for the Buffalo nickel and another $400 for the double eagle."

"That's a lot," Jesse told him.

"Look, Jess..." the guy trailed off. Jesse turned to face him. "Soon as I turn 18, I promise, we're gonna get out of here, okay?" 

Jesse nodded. "Can I see it?"

"Yeah," the guy answered, putting his fishing gear down, reaching into his pocket, pulling out his wallet, opening it, pulling out a silver coin, handing the coin to Jesse. Jesse looked over the silver coin, smiling. "Come on." Jesse handed the coin to him. The guy put the coin away. "Gotta go get that early morning bite, right?"

"Hang on," Jesse told him. "I gotta pee."

Jesse put his fishing gear away, walking away, leaving.

The guy put his wallet in his pocket. 


        §    


Elsewhere


Jesse walked through the woods alone, approaching a tree. He heard a buzzing from further in the woods, looking toward where he had left the guy. "Matty? Matty."

He heard Matty's panicking voice. "Jesse! Help!"

Jesse ran in the direction of his voice. "Matty! Matty!" 

Jesse reached the place where he and Matty had left the fishing gear, but didn't see him. 

He heard Matty's panicking voice. "Jesse!" He looked toward where a creature was dragging Matty away. "Jesse! Jesse!"

The creature dragged Matty further away into the woods.

Jesse chased after them. "Matty! Matty! Matty!" He pushed his way through the woods, running through the trees in search of him. "Matty!"

Jesse reached a clearing, looking around. But he didn't find Matty.

Now

Day One

Lebanon, Kansas

Morning - The Bunker - Library


Sam was sitting at home in the Bunker, in the library at the table, researching. He looked as if he hadn't slept in days.

Ness, Dean and Amara were sitting at the other table, watching Sam worriedly, looking as if they were trying to come up with something to say.

Castiel, Catty and Sabrina walked in.

"Uncle Sammy, you even move since last night?" Amara asked.

"Sleeping is the new smoking," Sam told them.

"What?" Ness asked. "No, it's not. It's sitting. Sitting is the new smoking."

Sam shook his head. "That can't be right."

"Sam, we'll find Ava," Castiel told him. "Okay? She's stronger than she looks."

"You know, we gambled Ava, and now the Darkness has her and the twins inside her," Sam told them. "Lucifer's right. They have my girl and my children."

"For a reason," Dean told him. "Which means they're still alive."

Sabrina scoffed, shaking her head. "Aunt Ava, the twins and I were so close to kicking Lucifer the hell out of Aunt Ava's body, and the Darkness shows up and screws it all up. And then when I left her body to come back to mine so I could fight against her, she froze me in place so I couldn't get back to my body so I would be helpless. But then, after she had what she wanted, she let me go."

"The Darkness's beef is with the big guys," Sam told them. "With God, with Lucifer. The small fries? Even an Angel like Ava? Two Nephilims inside her? Doesn't even register. And if it meant hurting Lucifer, killing Ava and the twins would mean nothing to her."

"It's been a week Uncle Sam," Amara told him. "Sabrina, Levi and Uncle Cas have been looking for Aunt Ava, the twins and Lucifer nonstop. We still got no leads."

"You think I don't know that, Amara?" Sam asked, standing, turning toward the shelves.

"So, Sam, Catty and Dean need to get back out there," Ness told them. "You need to get back to work. You keep moving. You keep working.  Amara and I'll stay here with Aiden and keep researching. Sabrina, Levi and Cas can keep searching for Ava. Look, we'll catch a break on Ava and the babies. We have to. It's--it's karma."

"You know, Ness, karma's been kicking us in the teeth lately," Catty told her.

Ness nodded. "Yeah." She picked up her laptop. "So, let's kick it back. Here." She opened her laptop. "Check this out." She put the laptop on the table. Sam sighed, walking closer. "Libby Strauss. Uh, went missing near Gunnison, Colorado." Catty sat at the table in front of the laptop to look at the case information. "Now Libby's friend claimed she was carried off by a mutant creature with green eyes."

"Demon?" Castiel asked.

"That's what I thought, but it gets better," Ness told them. "The friend chased after them, and she found Libby, only it wasn't Libby anymore because now she, too, is a green-eyed mutant."

"Demon swap suits?" Amara asked.

Catty shrugged. "Only one way to find out."

On the Road 


The Impala was driving, down a road that was surrounded by woods. 


            § 


 Gunninson, Colorado

Sheriff's Station - Office


The female Sheriff was sitting across the desk from Sam, Dean and Catty. The name plague on her desk said Sheriff Tyson.

Sam, Dean and Catty sat across from her, posing as FBI.

"How many missing do you have?" Dean asked.

"Six, all in the last 48 hours," Tyson answered. "They're disappearing one by one."

"Okay, uh, let's start with Libby Strauss," Sam told her. "I understand that she was from out of town."

"Uh, she and a friend were visiting from Tucson," Tyson told them. "Libby was the first reported missing."

"But all the rest have been local?" Catty asked.

"All residents," Tyson answered.

"You got any leads?" Sam asked.

"The only eyewitness I have is the friend," Tyson told them. "Not the most reliable source."

"Why is that?" Catty asked.

"She and Libby were on the last legs of their cannabis tasting tour," Tyson answered. "Fumes still coming off the girl when I questioned her."

Dean smirked. "A tripping trip."

Dean chuckled.

Sam looked at Tyson. "Have you had anything odd like this happen around here before?"

Tyson stood, walking toward them, leaning against the desk. She sighed, nodding. "27 years ago. About a dozen residents went missing. 27 years before that, another 8 disappeared."

"All within the same time frame?" Catty asked. "Couple days?"

Tyson nodded. "Same time of year, too."

"And how far back do the disappearances go?" Sam asked.

"That's it," Tyson answered. "The town's only been here since the '50s. It was all virgin forest till they found coal here."

"So, then how do people explain the missing?" Dean asked.

"Mostly they don't," Tyson answered. "People come and go in this town. I've only been here two years, myself. There are some old-timers with their theories."

"Such as?" Sam asked.

"Town's built on an Indian burial ground," Tyson answered. "Forest folk are pissed because we stole their coal."

"And what's your take?" Catty asked.

Tyson shrugged. "We're a small town. People get bored, they get fed up, they leave. Once a few get free, it's like a jail break. Encourages the others. Honestly, I--I'm just focused on the missing that I have right now. You're welcome to take a look at the files, talk to the witness." She took a deep breath. "I've got panicked residents I need to talk down."

Catty nodded. "Right. Sure."

Tyson walked out, leaving.

Sam, Dean and Catty stood.

"What the hell is going on here?" Dean asked.

"No idea," Sam told them. "Whatever it is, it's moved in. Or keeps coming back for seconds."

Dean checked the reports. "Wait a second. Most of the witnesses in '89 and '62, they're all dead or they've moved away, but there does seem to be one holdout from the '89 case. Etta Fraser. All right, Catty, why don't Sammy and I go talk to Etta?"

Sam and Dean didn't wait for an answer, walking away, leaving.

Catty sighed. "Oh. I guess that leaves me Ganja Girl."


            §  


Fraser House - Living Room


Sam and Dean were talking to Etta in the living room of her house, sitting around the coffee table.

"Your husband was one of the people who disappeared in 1989," Sam told her.

"Oh, my second husband," Etta told them. "Barely that." She chuckled. "Pete only stuck around a couple months."

"So, he left voluntarily?" Dean asked.

Etta chuckled. "Oh, Pete was volunteering himself all over the place. Right before he disappeared, people saw Pete diddling two different women in public, separate occasions."

"You mean they actually saw him in the act?" Dean asked.

"What does 'diddling' mean to you?" Etta asked. "Uh, Pete was never a showman, but apparently, Doris Kagen and Missy Petersen brought out the hog in him."

"Doris and Melissa, uh, Missy, they disappeared that year, too," Sam told her.

Etta nodded. "Oh, yeah. Surprise, surprise. I'd bet my mortgage Pete ran off with one of them."

"But you reported him as missing," Dean told her.

"Well, he didn't come home for three days," Etta told them. "I thought he was dead in a ditch somewhere. We didn't find out about the women for a long time after."

Sam sniffed. "Is that white sage?"

Etta nodded. "Mm-hmm." She looked at Sam flirtatiously. "Yeah, you know your herbs."

Sam and Dean knew that she was flirting with Sam.

Sam was awkward.

Dean was amused. He noticed Etta's packed bags nearby. "You, uh, planning on taking a trip?"

"Uh, yeah," Etta answered. "I'm going to stay with my sister a few weeks."

"For any reason?" Dean asked.

Etta looked at them awkwardly. "You're gonna think it's real out there."

"Well, you'd be surprised at the kind of crazy we hear," Sam told her.

"Well, when Pete went missing, and we found out about the women, my grandma said that he got the Chitters," Etta told them. "According to her, once a generation around the Spring Equinox, people in town start going nuts, having orgies, copulating in the woods. And then they disappear, never to be heard from again."

"Well, that's certainly one explanation for Pete," Dean told her, chuckling.

Etta tilted her head. "I never really, um, believed what she said, but now people are disappearing again. She always said burn sage to protect yourself."

Dean nodded. "Hmm."

"So why did she call it 'the Chitters'?" Sam asked.

"Oh, that was the word Gran used to describe the sound coming from the woods when the orgies were happening," Etta told them. "Yeah, kind of a buzzing, rattling."

"Did your Gran ever mention something about, uh, green eyes?" Dean asked.

"Oh, yeah," Etta answered. She looked Sam flirtatiously. "Gran said that if you got the Chitters, you get so revved up with lust that your eyes would shine like emeralds."

Etta checked Sam out, raising an eyebrow.

Dean looked at Sam in amusement.

Sam realized what Etta was doing and implying, taken aback, clearing his throat awkwardly.

Etta bit her lip.

Dean smirked.

Sam didn't know what to say.

Sheriff's Station - Interrogation Room


Catty was talking to Libby's friend in the interrogation room.

"You're gonna say I was hallucinating," the girl told her. "The weed was laced with PCP or something."

"It's okay, Cori," Catty told her. "Just--just tell me what you remember. And nothing is too strange or weird to mention."

"The thing that took Libby was naked and pale," Cori told her. "Except for the eyes. I swear to God, they flashed green for a second. And it didn't have any hair. Anywhere. It was shaped like a man. Or was it a woman?"

"Was it a man or a woman?" Catty asked.

Cori hesitated. "It didn't have a..."

"A penis?" Catty suggested.

"It didn't have anything," Cori answered.

"What, you're saying it was junkless?" Catty asked.

"Completely," Cori answered.

"Okay, uh, anything else unusual you can remember?" Catty asked. "Sounds? Smells?"

"Definitely sound," Cori answered. "When I found Libby, she was, um...  screwing some guy that I didn't know."


            §  


Flashback  

Night - Woods


Libby and another guy were in the woods, completely clothed but having sex.

Cori: (voice over) "It was creepy."

There were rattling and buzzing noises coming from Libby and the guy.

Cori walked closer. "Libby?" She saw what they were doing. "Oh, God."

Libby and the guy looked up. Their eyes glowed green. They hissed, growling.

Cori screamed in horror, backing away.


            §  


Now

Day - Sheriff's Station - Interrogation Room 


Cori and Catty were still talking in the interrogation room.

"It wasn't Libby," Cori told her. "I don't know what it was."

"The buzzing was coming from her and the guy's bodies?" Catty asked.

Cori nodded. "We heard the same sound right before that thing jumped out at us."

Catty nodded, looking away thoughtfully.


            §  


Office


Sam, Dean and Catty were in the room, on the phone, speakerphone.

"So, green eyes and buzzing, and public sex," Catty told them. Ness and Amara were in the Bunker's library with Aiden, helping him take a few steps. "Oh, and get this. The green-eyed mutant didnt have anything down in that area. It was junkless. But other people that we think were turned by Junkless were all sleeping together all over the place. Weed alone doesn't conjure up that kind of scenario. Isn't that right, Sam?"

"Cat, I was 18," Sam told her.

Amara smirked. "Sinner."

"It was college Amara," Sam told her. "It was probably oregano, anyways."

Amara smiled. "Rebel."

"Shut up," Sam told them. "Amara is just like Ness and Dean combined, I swear. I probably don't wanna know what Aiden will grow up to be like." Dean, Ness and Amara smiled. Aiden laughed. Catty chuckled. "Look, I'm coming up empty also. Uh, nothing on Junkless or the green-eyed shaker."

"So, we think Junkless turned Libby?" Dean asked.

"Hold up," Catty told them. "We're not actually gonna go with 'Junkless' on this, are we?"

Dean shrugged. "Eh."

"Guys, that's a new low, even for us," Catty told them.

"Well, something happened," Dean told them. "You got the eyes, the buzzing."

"Yeah, I know," Ness told him. "You're right. That can't be a coincidence."

"Uh, here, I found this," Sam told them. He picked up a piece of paper. "The, uh, the sheriff who was here in '89, Cochran." He handed the piece of paper to Catty. "Those are his notes. There's no mention of buzzing. But he seemed to be closing in on some of the missing, and then his notes, they just kind of abruptly stop."

"He take a flyer, too?" Ness asked.

"No," Dean answered. "He remained sheriff for a few more months. He ended up resigning and, uh, then he fell off the radar. I asked around the station, but that was a few sheriffs ago. So..."

"Nothing?" Amara asked.

"The dispatcher said she thought he moved to Florida, but that was a dead end," Sam told them.

"Kind of like this case," Catty told them.

Dean sighed. "Yeah."

Ness was thinking. "Not necessarily. Did you say Cochran was Sheriff in '89?"

"Yeah," Dean answered. "That's the last time that people started to disappear like this. The time before that was '62. All within the same time frame, in a couple of days."

"Same time of year, too," Catty added.

"And the disappearances happen every 27 years like clockwork," Ness told them, standing, walking toward her laptop, bringing up the information she wanted. "Yep."

Amara stood, walking closer. "Did you seriously just crack the case after one two-minute phone call?"

"Yep," Ness answered.

"Amara, your mom's just that good," Dean told her.

Amara scoffed. "No kidding."

Sam, Dean and Catty chuckled.

"Once a generation around the Spring Equinox, which was yesterday, a kind of cicada Spirit called Bisaan come out to play," Ness told them.

"Never heard of it," Catty told her.

"They're rare, at least in America," Ness told them. "People think that they originated in Malaysia in the forests there."

"So, what are they doing here?" Sam asked.

"What they always do," Ness answered. "Every 27 years, they come up from underground, they mate like crazy for a few days. That generation dies off, and the whole cycle goes on repeat."

"So, they're reproducing?" Sam asked.

"Yeah," Ness answered.

"But we're--we're dealing with townsfolk here," Amara told them. "I mean, they didn't just crawl out of a hole a few days ago."

Ness pulled up a picture of a figure without lower parts, a Bisaan, showing it to Amara, sending it to Sam, Dean and Catty. "This is what surfaces. Bisaan can't reproduce on their own, so they take over a Human body to do the deed. They enter through the mouth, like a hermit crab climbing into a shell. Only, they don't care that the shell's not empty."

"Well, that explains Junkless," Dean told them.

"What about the buzzing?" Catty asked.

"It's how they communicate," Ness answered. "It's a mating call."

"All right, can we get the Bisaan out of the Humans?" Sam asked.

"Not than I'm aware of," Ness answered. "After the Spring Equinox, after the females get pregnant, their bodies start to die. There's no cure that I can find in the lore."

"I would ask Sabrina to see if she can find them a cure, but she, Levi and Uncle Cas are out there right now, trying to find Aunt Ava," Amara told them. 

"No, Amara, let Sabrina, Cas and Levi look for Ava and the twins," Catty told her. "We'll handle the case ourselves."

"All right, so how do we kill them?" Dean asked.

"By taking off their heads," Ness answered. "Seems to do the trick."

"Where do they take the offspring?" Sam asked.

"The females go hide in a burrow, before the Human body dies off," Ness answered. "The eggs stay in their stomachs, marinating for years before they're born. Oh, but you have to find the burrow tonight, to kill these guys before they go underground, because then you'll never find them for another 27 years."

"Ness, Amara, thank you," Dean told them.

"You got it," Amara told them. "Be careful."

"We're always careful," Dean told them.

Amara scoffed barely.

Ness smiled a small smile, hanging up.


              §    


Alley


A teenage girl and boy walked through the graffiti'd alley.

"Don't be a wuss," the girl told him. "It's faster this way."

"And spells like a urinal, but whatevs," the boy told her. They came to a stop, seeing a couple having sex on an old couch. "Whoa." The couple stopped, looking up. Their eyes glowed green. Their teeth were fangs. They hissed at the girl and boy, growling. The girl screamed in horror, backing away. The boy turned to lead the girl away. "Come on." The girl and boy turned to run. Another man was behind them, his eyes glowing green. He jumped at the boy, tackling him to the ground. The girl screamed. The man tore into the boy's neck, feeding hungrily. The boy screamed, looking at the girl. "Go! Run!" 

The girl screamed, turning around, running away.

The man continued to feed on the boy, making him scream in agony.


              §    


Sheriff's Station - Interrogation Room


Sam, Dean, Catty, and Sheriff Tyson were talking to the girl at the Sheriff's Station, in the interrogation room.

"We ran, and then another one with green eyes came from nowhere," the girl told them. "It was Coach Hollister."

"Grant Hollister?" Tyson asked.

The girl nodded. "He attacked us. He had these teeth that were pointed. He ripped into Cliff. I could hear him screaming, but I ran." She started to cry. "He killed Cliff."

"Did you, by chance, recognize the couple?" Sam asked.

"It was one of the Deaver brothers, the tall one, and Mrs. Limoski," the girl answered.

"You're sure about this?" Tyson asked.

The girl nodded.

"Did you see anybody else?" Catty asked.

The girl nodded. "I couldn't see their faces, but I'm pretty sure there was more of them down the alley, past the couple. I--I could see them moving around."

"The, uh, the couple that--that was going at it, would you say this was a orgy-like situation?" Dean asked.

"I've never seen an orgy," the girl told them.

"No?" Dean asked.

"Enough," Tyson told them. She looked at the girl. "Excuse us a second."

They stood, walking out of the interrogation room.


              § 


Hallway   


Tyson, Dean, Sam and Catty walked into the hallway.

"I got a dead kid minus a chunk out of his neck and all the people that girl ID'ed are missing," Tyson told them.

"Were missing," Catty corrected.

"Yeah, now they're all having sex with each other," Dean told her.

"Then there's that," Tyson told them. "Putting aside the fact that Rob the fireman is screwing the librarian... and I am friends with his pregnant wife..." Sam looked down. Dean and Catty looked at Sam. "Now I've got two witnesses claiming they saw what? I don't even know. Aliens? Attacking people."

Sam nodded awkwardly. "Yeah."

"What is this?" Tyson asked. "Spanish Fly gone bad?"

"Well, I can honestly say this is a new one for us," Catty told her.

"I gotta go contact the families," Tyson told them.

Sam nodded, mouthing the word. 'Right.'

Tyson walked away, leaving.

"So, we got more Bisaan running around," Dean told them.

"Right," Sam agreed. 

"Just how many more are there?" Catty asked.

"Well, we should go check the crime scene," Dean told them.

Catty's phone rang. She took it out, answering. "Agent Lewis. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey. Cori, calm down. Where exactly? All right, I'm on my way." She hung up. "Ganja Girl's pretty hysterical. Says she just saw her friend walking in the woods. She's too freaked out to go, so..."

Sam pointed at Catty. "You go. We'll grab the alley."

"Great," Catty told them.

They walked out, leaving.


              §    


Woods


Catty walked through the woods where Cori had said that she had seen Libby running, coming to a stop when she saw Libby.

Libby was rattling and buzzing.

Catty walked closer. "Libby?" The rattling and buzzing stopped. Catty walked closer. "Hey, Libby, there's a whole lot of people looking for you."

Libby looked up. Her skin was rotting over her forehead and chin. Her eyes glowed green. She hissed at Catty, growling, lunging toward her.

Catty drew a machete, slashing it through Libby's neck, decapitating her, killing her, watching the body fall. A Bisaan ran toward Catty from behind while she had been distracted, tackling her to the ground, straddling her, kicking the machete out of her hand. His eyes were glowing green. His skin was rotting. His teeth were fangs. He tried to rip Catty's throat out. Catty held him back at arm's length, punching him in the face twice, kicking him back off of her.

A man appeared next to the Bisaan with a machete, decapitating him, killing him.

Catty breathed heavily, trying to catch her breath.

The man turned to Catty, offering her a hand.

Catty took it, letting him help her up.

Another man ran past Man 1, toward the body, stabbing it in the chest repeatedly.

Man 1 looked at Catty. "You hurt?"

"No, I'm--I'm--I'm good," Catty answered. "Thanks."

Man 2 was still stabbing the dead Bisaan in the chest.

"Jesse, I think it's dead," Man 1 told him.

Man 2, revealed to be Jesse from the teaser, stopped, breathing heavily. "Just making sure."

Jesse stood, backing away toward them.

"Who the hell are you guys?" Catty asked.

"You wouldn't believe us," Jesse told her.

Catty looked at them warily, kneeling next to her machete, picking it up, using it to point at Libby's dead body. "Try me."

Man 1 and Jesse looked at Catty in surprise.

Catty raised her eyebrows expectantly.

Bar


(Song:) Things Have Changed - Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets Featuring Sam Myers


Catty took Jesse and Man 1 to a bar. They were sitting at a table, waiting for Sam and Dean.

"So, how long have you guys been hunting?" Catty asked.

"Together?" Jesse asked. "About seven years."

"And we've heard of the Winchesters, but we also heard you bit it a couple years ago," the man told her.

"Ah, that's a long, ugly, ugly story," Catty told them.

Sam and Dean walked in.

"Hey," Sam told them.

"Sam, Dean, hey," Catty told them. "Uh, Jesse and Cesar."

Dean shook Cesar's hand.

Sam shook Jesse's hand. "You guys are hunters, right?"

"Yeah," Cesar answered.

Dean shook Jesse's hand.

Sam shook Cesar's hand. "I'm surprised we never ran into you."

Sam and Dean sat down with them.

Catty waved the waitress for another round.

"Well, we're mostly in Mexico," Cesar explained. "Sometimes we make a run over into Texas."

"Nice," Dean told them. He looked at Catty. "Uh, nothing in the alley, by the way."

The waitress brought them beer.

"Thanks," Catty told her. The waitress walked away, leaving. Catty looked at Cesar and Jesse. "You guys know what we're hunting?"

"They're called Bisaan," Jesse told them. "It's a kind of cicada Spirit."

"Yeah, uh, we were made aware of what these things are by my wife, Ness," Dean told them. "She knows a lot about a lot of things."

"Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure that I know more about this than she does," Jesse told them.

"Really?" Sam asked. "Why's that?"

Cesar looked at Jesse.

Jesse hesitated for a moment. "One of them took my brother 27 years ago."

Sam, Dean and Catty exchanged a look, looking at Jesse.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Sam told him.

"I've been waiting years to come back and have this shot at them," Jesse told them. "So, I hope you understand, I'm gonna ask you three to take a step back from this one."

"Well, catch us up," Catty told them. "Where have you guys been?"

"In the woods, where the action is, looking for their burrow and saving your ass," Jesse answered. Cesar sighed, giving Jesse a look. "What?"

"Well, one of the reasons we've been holed up in the trees is because Jesse hates the town and everyone in it," Cesar told them.

"Because they're ignorant and useless," Jesse told them. "They didn't believe me 27 years ago. They're not gonna start now."

"It's boneheaded not to be following leads in town," Cesar told him.

"Hey, nobody's stopping you from talking to the whole box of crackers," Jesse told him.

"Ah, you guys fight just like brothers," Dean told them. He chuckled. "Almost as bad as me and Sammy. Only reason we don't take each other's head off sometimes is Catty."

Cesar chuckled. "Well, we're more like an old married couple."

Dean chuckled. "That's..."

Cesar and Jesse tilted their heads.

Catty realized that they really were married, tilting her head in surprise. "Oh." She pointed between them. "So..."

Cesar smiled, nodding. "Yeah."

"Okay," Catty told them. "That's..." Cesar placed down his beer. "That's nice."

"Yeah, I know what it's like settling down with a hunter," Dean told them.

"Smelly, dirty," Cesar told them. "Twice the worrying about getting ganked."

Dean chuckled. "At least for me and Ness, it's not that bad. She's bit of a clean freak, and now she's at home raising kids. Aiden and Amara."

"Congratulations," Cesar told him.

"Thank you," Dean told him.

Sam chuckled. "Aiden's still a baby. Amara's more of a teenager. Jesse, you're from here. Do you know anything about the sheriff, Cochran, who worked the case back in '89?"

"That son of a bitch was incompetent," Jesse told them. "He shut himself away years ago."

"Do you know where he is?" Sam asked.

Jesse nodded. "Turned tail, ran off into the hills couple towns over. Lives like a hermit."

"Can you take us there?" Sam asked. "It seems like he was honing in on some of the missing."

"We need to find the burrow," Jesse told them.

Cesar tilted his head. "Jess. We've been beating around the woods for two days."

"That's where they are," Jesse told him. "You saw the tracks."

"I can keep searching on my own," Cesar told him. "We're losing."

Jesse sat back in his chair, hurt.

Catty looked at Cesar, pointing from Dean to herself. "Why don't we go with you? We'll start where--where I got jumped."

Cesar nodded.

Jesse sighed. "Okay."


(Song Ends)


              §    


Night - On the Road


The Impala drove the road.


              §    


The Impala


Dean was driving. Catty was in the passenger seat. Cesar was in the backseat.

"We gotta find the burrow tonight," Cesar told them. "By tomorrow, the Bisaan will be underground, dying. Won't be able to find them or their eggs. And Jesse will wait another 27 years."

"Well, there's five of us now," Catty told him. "We'll smoke those sons of bitches."

Cesar nodded. "Yeah. It'll eat him alive if we don't."

"It's hard to watch someone go through that, isn't it?" Catty asked.

Cesar sighed. "Yeah. I never had a brother or a sister, but I've seen it over and over, when someone loses someone when they're young. It never heals over."

Catty and Dean looked at each other knowingly, shaking their heads. "No, it doesn't."

"And the insane thing is, how many hunters have you seen over the years get their revenge?" Cesar asked.

"A few," Dean answered.

"Yeah," Cesar told them. "Me, too. And they are never fixed, are they?"

Dean chuckled a little. "No, I guess not."

"But you gotta help him get that revenge anyway," Catty told him.

Cesar nodded in agreement.


              §    


Woods


Dean, Catty and Cesar got to the woods, searching by flashlight, following footprints, splitting up when the footprints split up.


              §    


On the Road


A pickup truck drove down the road.


              § 


Truck   


Jesse was driving. Sam was in the passenger seat.

Jesse sighed. "I must have stumbled around, searching for Matty 10, 20 minutes. I was shaking and panicking. Told myself I had to focus to find him. And I did. Those green eyes staring at me. It wasn't him. I took off. Didn't look back."

"You never saw him again after that?" Sam asked.

Jesse shook his head. "Everybody in town, including my mom, thought some pervert had taken him. She was falling apart. Crying. Why didn't I remember what the guy looked like? Why was I making up this lie?"

"She still live here?" Sam asked.

"Moved as soon as she could," Jesse told him. "Still thinks I should've done something. Saved him. Everybody did."

"They couldn't accept that your brother was taken by a monster, huh?" Sam asked.

"They couldn't accept a lot of things," Jesse told him. "But Matty did. He was a great brother."

Sam was thoughtful and sympathetic.


              §    


Woods


Cesar walked alone through the woods, shining his flashlight around.

A Bisaan in its true form rose from the ground, bald and naked but without any parts to show for it.

Cesar heard a breaking twig, turning around. He saw the hole in the ground where the Bisaan had rose from, but he didn't see the Bisaan. He walked closer, machete in hand.

The Bisaan ran toward Cesar from the side, kicking his ankle forcefully, tackling him to the ground, straddling him, rattling, buzzing, strangling him.

Catty heard the rattling, buzzing and Cesar groaning, running closer.

The Bisaan hissed at Catty, running away, leaving.

Dean ran closer.

Cesar was struggling to stand.

Catty looked at Dean, pointing after the Bisaan. "Go!" Dean took off after the Bisaan, leaving. Catty looked at Cesar. "You good?"

Cesar nodded, groaning in pain.

Catty looked off in the direction that Dean and the Bisaan had run off in.


              §    


Cochran House - Outside


Jesse's truck was parked outside.


              §    


Inside - Living Room


Jesse and Sam were sitting on the couch.

An elderly man, presumably Sheriff Cochran, sat in a chair across from them. "I don't care if you're FBI or not. It was 30 years ago. I don't remember a damn this." He took a deep breath. "Except we never found them."

"Yeah, well, one of them was a 16-year-old boy, and that was my brother," Jesse told him.

"A lot of folks lost family that year," Cochran told them.

"And you didn't help a damn one of them, did you?" Jesse asked.

Sam sighed. "Jesse." Jesse fell quiet. "Mr. Cochran, we're here because more people have gone missing. The same MO."

Cochran was in denial, shaking his head. "No." Jesse and Sam looked at him curiously in confusion. "No, it's done. It's done."


              §    


Woods


Catty helped Cesar through the woods in the direction Dean and the Bisaan had taken off in.

Cesar limped on his ankle.

"Not broken, is it?" Catty asked.

Cesar shook his head. "Nah."

Dean walked toward them. "Catty? Cesar?"

"You lost it?" Catty asked.

Dean shook his head. "No. No, I followed it. I saw where it went. I think I found the burrow."

Cesar sighed in relief. "Thank God."

"I think that's why he attacked you," Catty told him. "He was being protective."

"Of what?" Dean asked.

"The females, the burrow," Catty answered.

"Oh, that makes sense," Cesar told them. "Must be laying their eggs by now."

"You gonna be all right?" Catty asked.

"Yeah," Cesar answered. "Where are we headed?"

"It's a hike," Dean told them, glancing at Cesar's busted ankle.

"That's okay," Cesar told them.

Catty looked at Dean. "I tried to call Sam. There's no service."

"Do you think the whole brood's there?" Cesar asked.

"If we're lucky," Dean answered.

Cesar sighed deeply. "Let's go."

Catty nodded. "All right."

Dean, Catty and Cesar walked away toward the burrow.


              §    


Cochran House - Kitchen


Cochran stood at the sink, turning on the water, washing his face, turning the water off. He picked up a towel, drying his face.


              §    


Living Room


Jesse and Sam were still sitting on the couch.

Cochran walked in. "Okay, I'll tell you what. Leave me your card, and if anything comes back to me, I'll call."

"Mr. Cochran, you don't own a phone," Sam told him. "Look, we're not asking for a lot. Just please tell us what you know."

Cochran shook his head. "I couldn't find them. So, that's on me." He sighed heavily. "I never recovered from it. I--I... so I bought this little slice of heaven and made my peace. I wish you all better luck."

"Joe, please," Jesse told him. "I was 12 when my brother got taken." He stood. "I never got over what I lost that day. The one person in the whole world I loved the most."

"Okay, I'm only gonna say this once," Joe told them. "It's time for you to go."

Sam stood. "Listen, we know what took Jesse's brother, and what took all the townspeople then and now. You know, Jesse was only a kid at the time, but he was telling the truth. What took these people was not Human."

"How do you know?" Joe asked.

"It's what we do," Sam answered.

"I saw one of the creatures today," Jesse told him.

Joe had to sit down in his chair, taking a deep breath. "I knew she was something. I didn't know what. I tracked one of those things down in '89. It was sick and dying. I--I followed it back to its--its lair, I guess." His voice broke. "My daughter was there. Couple of days before that, she had left to go back to school." He sighed. "I don't know what happened. But she was one of them."

Joe exhaled shakily.

"Wait a second," Sam told him. "You never reported her as missing."

Joe looked up, shaking his head. "I knew where she was." He took a deep breath shakily, exhaling sharply. "All the missing people were scattered all around, dead." He sniffled. "I think she and that other thing had killed them. I tried--I tried talking to her, but she attacked me like some kind of rabid wolf." He sniffled. "Teeth like thorns." He hesitated for a long moment, tears in his eyes. "I killed her."

Jesse pushed Joe back against his chair angrily. "You son of a bitch. You knew the whole time! You knew where they were when everybody was suffering."

"I was suffering, too!" Joe told them.

Sam pulled Jesse off of Joe, pulling him away. "Jesse. Hey, hey. Hold on. Hold on."

"You think anybody would've believed me?" Joe asked. "Monsters?"

"You told me I was making it up!" Jesse told him. "We could've told people together, found those things."

"They were already dying," Joe told them. "All the missing people were dead."

Jesse shook his head. "No. You didn't wanna say that your kid was one of them. A monster. And that you killed her."

"Hey," Sam told him. "Jesse."

Jesse ignored him, looking at Joe. "You killed her."

"Jesse, stop," Sam told him. "Stop." He pulled Jesse further away from Joe in an attempt to calm him down, looking at Joe. "What did you do? What, did you just erase her from your life? Pretend that she just went away somewhere?"

Joe started to cry, moving a newspaper on the coffee table to reveal a picture of a young girl, his daughter, taking it out to look at it. "Yeah, better to bury it. All of it." He exhaled shakily. "I just let the townspeople think their loved ones had run off for a big, bright life."

"Where was she?" Sam asked. "Where did you find her?"

Joe took a deep breath. "By Taylor Creek. The old Donnelly mine."

Joe sniffled, holding the picture to his chest.

Sam turned to Jesse. "Come on."

Sam and Jesse walked out, leaving.

Joe continued to hold the picture of his daughter to his chest, crying.


  §    


Woods


Dean, Cesar and Catty made it to the old Donnelly mine, pushing past the foliage, slowly walking toward the door.

Dean and Catty broke off the boards covering the door, tossing them aside.


              § 


Old Donnelly Mine   


Dean, Cesar and Catty walked inside, through the mine, gesturing for them to split up, dispersing through the tunnels.


              §    


Burrow


Catty came to a far back tunnel the Bisaan were using as the burrow, shining her flashlight around, finding a Bisaan laying on the ground, her stomach bloated.

The Bisaan seemed to be dead and pregnant.

Catty knelt next to her, feeling her wrist for a pulse, not finding one.

The Bisaan were glowing green from within her pregnant stomach, moving around like a parasite.

Catty found a hole leading underground, standing, having her machete ready, walking toward the underground hole. She heard rattling and buzzing behind her, turning around.

A sick and dying Bisaan growled at Catty, lunging toward her.


              §    


Tunnel


Dean walked through the tunnel, looking around the tunnel by flashlight.

Another sick and dying Bisaan walked toward Dean, hissing and growling. Dean slashed his machete toward him. The Bisaan ducked, tackling Dean to the ground, kicking the machete out of his hand, pinning Dean to the ground, hissing. Dean held him off at bay, kicking the Bisaan back. The Bisaan lunged toward Dean. Dean drew his knife, stabbing him in the chest, making him stop. He kicked the Bisaan off of him, making him fall to the ground, standing, picking up a shovel from nearby, using it to hit the Bisaan, making him fall to the ground. He slammed the blade of the shovel into the Bisaan's neck repeatedly until he decapitated him, killing him.


              § 


Burrow   


Catty pushed the Bisaan off of her. The Bisaan punched her in the face twice. Catty punched him in the face, grabbing him by his shoulders, kneeing him in the stomach. The Bisaan tried to punch her. Catty spun out of the way, making him punch a support beam behind her instead, kicking him in the back of the legs, making him fall to the ground, swinging her machete through his neck, decapitating him, killing him.

Cesar and Dean walked toward Catty.

"I hate it when I lose my blade," Dean told them.

"Yeah," Cesar agreed.

"You could've jumped in anytime," Catty told them.

Dean and Cesar walked toward the pregnant Bisaan's body.

Catty followed them.

"What is this place?" Dean asked.

"It's a maternity ward/subway station," Catty answered. She pointed at the underground hole she had found. "That hole? I think that's a tunnel. That's gotta go topside eventually. Mothers are already dead. Males weren't protecting them. They were protecting the eggs."

"They must gestate inside for years till they hatch," Cesar told them.

"Yeah, well, these aren't," Dean told them. "I got about five gallons of gasoline in the car. I'll go pull her around."


              § 


Woods   


Dean had brought the Impala outside the old mine.

Cesar, Dean and Catty were getting the gasoline from the trunk.

Jesse pulled up in his truck.

Jesse and Sam got out of the car, walking toward them.

"You guys find the burrow?" Sam asked.

Dean, Cesar and Catty nodded.

"Where are they?" Jesse asked.

"They're in the mine," Dean answered. "Don't worry. They won't be coming back out. We just gotta take care of the eggs."

Jesse noticed Cesar's busted ankle. "You okay?"

"Hell, yeah," Cesar answered. "It's finally over."

Catty offered a can of gasoline to Jesse. "You wanna finish them off?"

Jesse walked away.

"Let's give him a minute," Cesar told them.

Sam nodded in agreement.


              §    


Old Donnelly Mine - Burrow


They were all inside.

Jesse was looking over all of the dead bodies. "Aw, jeez." He looked at a body, tears in his eyes. "Hey, bro." He started to cry. "We found Matty." They looked at the skeleton in the same clothes that Matty had been taken in. Jesse was holding the silver coin in his hand. "Oh, jeez." He picked up Matty's wallet. "Oh, God."


              § 


Flashback - 1989

Day - Woods  


Young Jesse looked over the silver coin, smiling.  


                §   


Now

Night - Old Donnelly Mine - Burrow


Jesse continued to cry, holding his fist closed around the coin.

"We'll give him a proper burial," Cesar told him.

Jesse sniffled. "What about the others?"

"Don't worry," Dean told him. "We'll, uh, we'll take care of it."

Jesse continued to cry, holding the coin in his closed hand, relieved that it was finally over.


                §   


Day Two

Morning - Woods


Cesar and Jesse were giving Matty a proper hunter's funeral.

Dean, Sam and Catty stood about a yard behind them, talking.

Sam sighed. "You know, whenever you two and Dad used to leave me to go hunting and I--and I wouldn't hear from you guys for a while, I, um, I was always sure that some Vamp or Rougarou, or take your pick... I always figured one of them finally got you. I tried to think of what to do, you know, the next step to take. I was just lost."

"We came back, though, every time." Catty told him.

Sam nodded in agreement. "Yeah."

Catty looked at him. "I know that's what you're worried about, Sammy. About Ava, about the twins. We're gonna get them back. I promise."

Sam sighed shakily. "Yeah. What about after that, huh? How do Ava and I raise two Nephilims in our lives?"

"Well, look at Sabrina," Dean told him. "I mean, she's better than fine. And Sow's a lot more complicated than just half-Human, half-Angel. And Amara? She was possessed by the freaking Darkness. Mar's doing okay. I'm more than sure that Ava and your kids are gonna do just fine."

"And look at Jesse," Catty told them. "I mean, he turned out all right." They watched Cesar and Jesse.

"They're a good team," Sam told them. 

"They are," Catty agreed.

"I was thinking, maybe they could give us a hand with the Darkness, you know, with Ava," Dean told them.

Catty nodded. "Fresh eyes."

Sam nodded. "Could use the extra muscle, too."

Catty sighed. "Yeah."

Jesse stroke a few matches, tossing them onto Matty's funeral pyre.

The funeral pyre went up in flames.

Cesar looked at Jesse. "You did it."

"We did it," Jesse corrected. Cesar put a hand on Jesse's shoulder. Jesse put a hand on his. "Thank you."

They watched Matty's body burn.


                §   


Later


Catty, Dean, Sam, Cesar and Jesse walked out of the mine again after burning everything inside.

Dean looked at Cesar and Jesse curiously. "Well, you're awfully upbeat for guys who spent half the night in a cave."

"That's because we had a deal," Cesar told them. "When we finished this hunt, if we caught them, we hang up our spurs."

"Nice," Catty told them.

"Unless your hides need saving," Jesse told them.

Catty tilted her head, shaking her head. "No." Dean and Sam looked at Catty. "No, we're all set."

"So, uh, what's freedom look like?" Sam asked.

"Nice little spread in New Mexico," Jesse answered. "We've been paying on it for years. Set foot on it about twice."

"Gonna raise horses," Cesar told them. "And if that goes bust, Jesse used to be an EMT."

"Oh, so now I'm supporting your ass?" Jesse asked teasingly.

Cesar and Jesse smiled, chuckling.

"It's time to start living," Cesar told them.

Catty nodded understandingly.

Cesar and Jesse walked toward their truck.

Catty, Dean and Sam watched them go.


                § 


On the Road  


The Impala drove down the road on the way back home.


                §   


Lebanon, Kansas

The Bunker - Library


The family was back in the Bunker, eating together.

"Hey, Cas," Catty told him. "Sow. Did you two or Levi find anything?"

"Levi, Dad and I found a warehouse that was ripe with their scents," Sabrina told him. "But the Darkness knew that we were close to finding them. She took off with Aunt Ava and the twins before we could find them. I'm sorry, Uncle Sammy."

Sam sighed. "No, it's okay, Sow. It's not your fault. You, Cas, Levi, you're doing all that you can. That's all I can ask for."

Amara sighed. "So, how did the job go?"

"Well, it's a good thing we had that fire extinguisher," Catt told them. "For a second there, I thought the whole mine was gonna go up in flames. Cesar and Jesse loved it."

"We were considering on asking them for help with the Darkness, with Ava, the twins," Dean told them. "But then we found out that when they finished this hunt, they were gonna hang it up."

"Nice," Castiel told them. Sam, Dean and Catty exchanged a look. Castiel looked at them knowingly. "Couldn't do it, huh?"

"No," Catty answered. "Didn't feel right."

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Dean told her.

"Two hunters who make it to the finish line?" Ness asked. "You leave that alone."

Sam, Dean and Catty nodded in agreement.

They smiled small smiles, continuing to eat.
