HARLAN MEAT PACKING COMPANY

"I don't believe it." Dean Says

"Yeah, I was gonna meet up with you guys sooner, but I...kinda just got here, oh uh Kevin Tran. Former prophet..." He Says

"Arthur Ketch, uh... former assassin. Mostly." He Says

"What are you... What are you even doin' here? You're supposed to be in Heaven." Dean Says

"Yeah, not so much." Kevin Says

"Chuck said he was sending you to Heaven." Dean Says

"Yeah, what he said, not what he did." Kevin Says

"Wait, he lied? For what? Kicks?" Ketch Asked

"Turns out, God's a dick. Look, it doesn't matter. We are going to get you to Heaven, okay? Right after we shove all these ghosts back down." Dean Says

"At least the town is warded." Ketch Says

"Yeah, but it's fading. I can feel it." Kevin Says

"So, the others feel it, as well?" Ketch Says

"Uh, not sure. But if they do, you've got a lot of problems." Kevin Says

"What, your... your... your pals know that we have history? I mean, you did just yell at 'em and saved my ass." Dean Says

"I yell at 'em all the time. They take it. Since God himself cast me down, I've got kind of a bad-boy rep." Kevin Says

"Oh. That means you can mingle." Dean Says

RENO

In Amara's hotel room, Chuck is sprawled on the sofa flipping channels on the tv while Amara does yoga.

"I called room service like an hour ago. How long's a burger take?" Amara ignores him and continues her yoga, "You know...that, uh...little retreat of ours, it taught me how priceless our relationship is. And, you know, since I'm on an extended break from my omniscient benevolence, why not use the time to deepen what we have? So, you know, why not drop by another dimension? Check it out. Maybe start a new species? Huh? You know? A family project. Sound good?" Chuck Says

"I'm...fine. I am running a hot streak in craps. I like Reno. Everyone here is so not...you." Amara Says, then slowly turns around, studying Chuck curiously.

"What? Do I have a booger?" Chuck Says

"Interesting. What... is it?" Amara Says

"I don't know." Chuck Says

"You need me." Amara Says

"Of course I need you, Amara. You're my big sis." Chuck Says

"You've never needed me. What...is going on? Oh. Oh, there it is...Hm. Your shoulder." Amara Says, as she touched it he groaned.

"Ow!" Chuck Says

"Something happened. You're not complete. You're not at full strength. And you're afraid." Amara Says

NEIGHBORHOOD

At the quarantine zone, Sam, Elena, Dean and Corinna are on patrol.

"Okay, look, it's great to have Kevin around...even Ghost Kevin...but do you think it's safe having him do what he's doing?" Sam Says

"No. No. I mean, none of this is safe for any of us, but if he can give us some information, you know..." Dean Says

"Wait.." Elena Says

"What?" Sam and Dean Says

They all stop walking and turn around, and find Belphegor behind them.

"Would you stop sneaking up on us?" Belphegor Says

"Hey, we just heard from a reliable source that the warding is fading." Sam Says

"Yeah. Sure, sure. Like... Like I said it would. I guess I just assumed you four pros woulda wrapped it up by now. What can I say? Goofy optimist." Belphegor Says

"Okay, meanwhile, we're gonna need you to charge her back up." Dean Says

"Oh... Yeah, if only. Sorry, guys. It was a one-time thing." Belphegor Says

"Well, Kevin says the ghosts may sense its weakness." Corinna Says

"Oh, "Kevin says"? Kevin Tran? Whiny Kevin Tran? Ugh. Typical millennial." Belphegor Says

"Kevin's not even supposed to be in Hell." Elena Says

"Yeah so when this is all over, we're gonna send him up in Heaven where he belongs." Dean Says

"Yeah, yeah, not gonna happen. Souls cast down to Hell? That's the end of it. Heaven can't take 'em." Belphegor Says

"That's not true. Our dad made it to Heaven after he was in Hell." Sam Says

"And my father as well, Bobby Singer." Elena Says

"So God made an exception. Didn't he used to like you guys? Just saying. Without the big guy...them's the rules." Belphegor Says

In the hotel room, Chuck examines the wound in his shoulder in the mirror. He pokes at it and flinches, at the same moment Sam flinches as his matching wound twinges.

"Still with the shoulder?" Dean Says

"I'm okay. It's getting better." Sam Says

Sam walks off as Dean, Elena and Corinna does not appear to believe that.

HOUSE

The ghost having another meeting at the house, inside the quarantine zone.

"I felt it." The man ghost says

"Yes, yes, I felt it, too. The warding that surrounds us is indeed beginning to falter." Tumblety Says

"So, we just hang loose for a while, then when it fails, we just stroll outta here." He Says

"No, I say we seize the moment. Use our collective strength. We find the most vulnerable point in the warding, mass our power, and break through now. Then back to all the fun that sent us to Hell in the first place." Tumblety Says

"We can't be the only ones noticing the wall's got issues. The Hunters will be workin' overtime to send us back." She Says

Then suddenly Kevin appears in the house at the ghost meeting.

"What have we here? Well, look who Hell just coughed up. Kevin Tran." Tumblety Says

"Yeah, so what? Answer the lady. What do we do about the Hunters?" Kevin Asked

"Well, you tell me, Kevin. Aren't you privy to their plans?" Tumblety Says

"Who, me? Are you kidding?" Kevin Says

"In Hell, I was never as impressed by you as my more gullible colleagues. I've heard demons say that in life, you were quite closely connected to the Hunters. To the Winchesters, in particular. Oh, you know how the Hellspawn are. All they talk about is Sam, Elena and Dean, Sam, Elena and Dean..." Tumblety Says

"Okay. I've had enough of this." Kevin Says, as he turns to leave, and is blocked by a large ghost.

HARLAN HIGH SCHOOL

In the Harlan High Athletic Department office, Rowena is using as a magical lab to come up with a spell.

"I do like a left-brained man. Logic, cause and effect, calculations... very butch. It does, however, lack the more nuanced perspective of...the right brain." Rowena Says

"The, um... voodoo, booga-booga perspective." Ketch Says

"One might welcome the coupling of both." Rowena Says

"Ah." Ketch Says

"The dominating, analytical enforcer... you... and the pulsating, throbbing firebrand...me." Rowena Says, as she flirts with him.

"Hmm." Ketch Says

"Well, in the, um...spirit of...coupling...may I suggest a shortcut to your alchemy, one we used at the, um, British Men of Letters?" Ketch Says

Rowena rolls her chair back from the desk, and Ketch cuts some wire, plugs it in, and shocks the spell ingredients.

"Right. Mm." She nods her head, "I think you'll find you can skip the next two steps. The power of science." Ketch Says

"But...if we were to marry the power of science with the power of magic, you might find we had a situation that was highly explosive." Rowena Says

The two of them are standing very close towards one another, their lips almost meets until Rowena's phone rings, and she answers it.

"Yes, Dean, what? Aye, it's almost there. But you can't rush these things. Fine, fine." Rowena Says

"Right." Ketch Says, leaving her to finish the spell.

NEIGHBORHOOD

Outside in the quarantine zone, Rowena hurries along carrying a carpetbag with her completed spell stone until Francis Tumblety appears.

"Rowena. Delicious to see you again." Tumblety Says

"Francis Tumblety! You're an unfaithful dog." Rowena Says

"Oh? And you're Mary Poppins? You know I always thought of you as special. I gutted my other dates." Tumblety Says

"I told you centuries back, our liaison was finito, so let me pass." Rowena Says

"What's in the bag, Red? Oh, don't tell me. You're working with the Hunters now? How sad. But perhaps there's a silver lining. You can deliver a message. Tell the Winchesters we have their boy, and we want to talk. 5879 Maple. We'll be waiting." Tumblety Says

Ketch appears with his confetti gun and distracts Tumblety.

"You there! Charm School. Run." Ketch Says

Ketch shoots Tumblety, but he materializes behind Ketch and clocks him over the head as Rowena runs away. Soon Rowena meets up with Cas, Sam, Dean and Corinna.

"There she is." Castiel Says

"I got here as quick as I could. Mr. Ketch and I were attacked by ghosts." Rowena Says

"Your here, well where's ketch?" Corinna Asked

"He may still be fightin' them." Rowena Says

"Are you okay?" Sam Asked

"He... Francis said they have your boy." Rowena Says

"Kevin?" Rowena nods, "Did you bring the soul catcher?" Dean Asks

"Is that what you're calling it?" Elena Says

"I like soul catcher." Dean Says

"Whatever. There's been such a fuss, there's no telling if it works." Rowena Says

"Well, if it doesn't, nice knowin' all of you." Dean Says

HOUSE

At the ghost meeting house Sam, Elena and Dean enter, demonstrating they're unarmed.

"The Messrs and Misses, Winchester. I hope this encounter's more productive than the last one." Tumblety Says

"You said you wanna talk." Elena Says

"So talk." Sam Says

"Indeed. The terms are quite simple. You shut down the warding. I won't devour Kevin whole." Tumblety Says

"Well, here's our offer. You go to Hell." Dean Says

"Not what it's cracked up to be." He sticks his hand into Kevin's chest, siphoning off part of his soul, "Well, guys, what's it gonna be?" Tumblety Says

Soon Rowena, Corinna and Cas come in the back door, surprising the ghosts with her spell, sucking them into the stone.

"Capare!" Rowena Says

Tumblety and several of the other ghosts flee from the house.

"Thanks. I think my badass days in Hell may be over." Kevin Says

"Yeah, looks like. Nice work, Rowena." Dean Says

"Oh, it's not as powerful as the first one. A few ghosts at a time, I'm afraid. A lot of them got away." Rowena Says

"So what now?" Sam Says

"They have a backup plan...they know that the warding's been fading. They think if they mass all the ghosts at its weakest point, they'll be able to bust out." Kevin Says

"Well, where's its weakest point?"

They soon arrived over at the weakest point of the warding, where many ghosts are assaulting it, visible only as red flashes.

"So... not good." Belphegor Says

"You can see 'em. How many of 'em are there?" Dean Asks

"100 at least. More keep coming." Belphegor Says

There's a rustling in the nearby bushes. Sam and Dean raise their guns, but it's Ketch.

"Easy. It's just me." Ketch Says

Dean starts randomly firing salt rounds at the ghosts, near the weakest point.

"Yeah, that's not gonna work. There...There's too many of them." Belphegor Says

"How 'bout it?" Dean Says

Rowena nods as walks forward with the soul catcher, with Ketch near her side.

"Capare!" Rowena Says

She chants the spell and all the souls begin to flow into the stone.

"It's working." Belphegor Says

"Capare!" Rowena Says

Suddenly Ketch then strikes Rowena, and picks up the stone.

"Ketch?" Dean Says

Ketch turns around, ectoplasm streaming from his eyes.

"Son of a bitch." Dean Says, he tries to shoot Ketch, but he's out of salt rounds and more ghost shows up.

"Oh, Dean. Did you run out? Wouldn't matter anyway. And thank you. Thank you so very much." Ketch Says

"Francis..." Rowena Says

"The thing about souls is...they're almost pure power, so even with the few trapped inside your little gizmo here, I am in possession of a massively powerful weapon, one which I will happily use to blow open that warding." Ketch Says

Dean shoots Ketch/Tumblety in the shoulder with iron bullets, catches the soul catcher as Ketch falls, and passes it to Rowena.

"Capare! Capare!" Rowena Says, as the remaining ghosts are captured.

________________________________

NEIGHBORHOOD

Now that most of the ghosts are gone, an ambulance has arrived for Ketch. Dean stays back with Ketch, as Sam, Cas, Elena and Corinna walks off.

"I tried to heal him, but it didn't work. I don't know why." Castiel Says

"You're probably just tired, Cas. We all are." Sam Says

"I wouldn't stress it Cas, you'll be fine..we all will be." Corinna Says, as she looks over at Elena.

"They're gonna get you fixed up. Sorry about the whole iron bullets. There just didn't seem to be another way." Dean Says

"Oh, admit it. You've killed me once. You've been itching to do it again." Ketch Says

"Well, there's that. Take care, man." Dean Says

Dean steps aside as the paramedics pulls him inside the truck, Ketch and Rowena shared a quick glance for a moment until he was inside and the vehicle drives away. Moments later Dean meets up with Sam, Elena and Corinna as they stand with Kevin.

"Hey." Dean Says

"Hey, uh Kevin said he wants to leave." Sam Says

"Leave"? No. No, no, no. we...we gotta get you into Heaven." Dean Says

"How? Belphegor says...I've been in Hell. Heaven can't let me in." Kevin Says

"Kevin, being a ghost with nothing to hold you... anywhere... that would be a terrible way to exist." Elena Says

"That's true." Dean Says

"Kevin you don't belong in Hell." Corinna Says

"Look, I got two options... Hell or Earth. In one, I get tortured for eternity. In the other, I might go crazy. Guess I'll take door number two. I won't go back to Hell. Maybe... I know Belphegor can't power up the warding...but maybe he can make just a bit of it dip? You know, for a minute. E-Enough to let me out." Kevin Says

"I'm sorry, Kevin. I wish there was some way to make this right." Sam Says

"Me, too, but there isn't. And sometimes, you just gotta accept that. Besides, I'm better off than I was and...I mean, there's a whole world out there." Kevin Says

"Would you come on, already?" Belphegor Says

"Take care, Kev." Dean Says

"I love you guys." Kevin Says

"We love you too." Corinna Says, as they nod.

Belphegor opens a hole in the warding, and Kevin waves goodbye and disappears.

AMARA'S HOTEL ROOM

Amara's all dressed up and wearing sunglasses, ready to leave as Chuck stops her.

"Going somewhere?" Chuck Says

"Yes." Amara Says

"Great. Where we headed?" Chuck Asks

"Alone. I'm going alone." Amara Says

"Amara, we've been all through this. We belong together." Chuck Says

"Yes. Yes, yin, yang, balance of nature. I am willing to coexist with you, brother, in the universe. Just not, you know, anywhere near you." Amara Says

"Hey, don't test me. I front the group. You sing backup." Chuck Says

"Oh, really? Because you're "God"?" Amara Says

"Amara, just..." Chuck Says, he reaches out to grab her.

"Don't. Even on your best day, you couldn't force my hand. And this is not your best day. In fact, I don't think you can do much of anything. Ah, a few parlor tricks, perhaps, but you can't leave this world, not without my help. And me? I'm done, Chuck. I've changed. I've adapted. I've...I've become the better me. And you? You are still the same...petulant, narcissistic. So... I'm leaving you here. Once, long ago, you sealed me away. Now, in a way... I'm doing the same to you. You're trapped, diminished, abandoned. So I guess you got what you've always wanted. You're on your own." Amara Says

HARLAN, KANSAS

Outside the quarantine area, Rowena and Cas watch as more souls escape the rift as the four hunters and Belphegor, approached them.

"What's going on?" Dean Asks

"They just keep coming." Belphegor Says

"How many more ghost are there now?" Corinna Asked

"Let's just say..a lot and soon, they're gonna overrun us. Again. Once my spell comes crashing down..." Belphegor Says

"They'll be free to destroy everything...great." Elena Says

"My little toy isn't strong enough to handle all this. We have to find another way. Before it's too late." Rowena Says

"Alright, then that's what we'll do." Sam Says

"How?" Dean Asks, as they all looked up at the sky which was full of many souls.
