JASPER SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI 1863

A confederate soldier rides up to a cabin on a horse and quickly jumps off, tying it to a rail. He bursts into the cabin and there are two other soldiers inside who are guarding a door.

"He's coming! Stand your ground, no matter what happens. The knight must be protected." He Says

The room starts shaking and the curtains blow around the windows. Suddenly all three of the soldier's eyes turn black and they turn around to see a man in the doorway. The man grabs the first soldier's face and his eyes and mouth burn out in a hot, red light. The other two demons/soldiers shoot the man and he doesn't even react. Suddenly the camera is outside and the windows all glow in the same hot, red light. We are back inside and the man steps over the bodies of the dead demons on the floor. We see him grasping a large jawbone as he kicks in the door to the guarded room.

BAR

Dean, with a few-day-old beard, sits at the bar and goes through his phone. He swipes pass some pictures of he and Sam, then comes across some of him and Elena. He sighs sadly then Crowley appears.

"Oh how the beautiful die young, such a shame I was rooting for you and Bambi." Dean startles and draws the demon knife from his jacket "At least buy me a drink first." Crowley Says

"I said the next time I see you—" Dean Says

"Dead. Yes, rings a bell, but let's not dwell on the past, shall we? This bar is a bust. That waitress is trouble with a capital VD, and your prey, Gadreel, has left the building. So, it's time to move on to more pressing matters, like destroying Abaddon." Crowley Says

"Yeah, good luck with that. The Knights of Hell aren't exactly the dying kind." Dean Says

"But there is something that can kill a knight. The weapon that the archangels used to execute them The First Blade." Crowley Says

"Never heard of it. Can I kill you now?" Dean Says

"I've been chasing that blade for decades. The closest I got to it was when one of my droogs -- Smitty -- got wind of a protégé demon of Abaddon's who claimed knowledge of the blade. Sadly, before Smitty
could nab the guy, a hunter by the name of John Winchester nabbed the protégé. I'm here to see if there's anything in the John Winchester memorial library that might lead us to the first blade -- to killing Abaddon..." Crowley Says

"You want to hunt? With me?" Dean Says

"I do love a good buddy comedy." Crowley Says

Dean rolls his eyes and reluctantly takes John's journal out of his jacket and lays it on the table. He rummages through the pages until he finds what he's looking for.

"Oh, yeah. Here it is. Yeah, he picked up a protégé who had bones with Abaddon, but that's about all it says in here." Dean Says

"What do those numbers in the margins mean?" Crowley Asks

"None of your business." Dean Says

"You're gonna play hard to get? We have time for a montage?" Crowley Says

"It's a code -- one of my dad's storage lockers. He may have put something about the case there." Dean Says

"And what does the "T" next to the numbers mean?" Crowley Asks

"Not a clue." Dean Says

"Fine. Let's go find daddy's man cave, then, shall we?" Crowley Says

"And how do I know this isn't a trap?" Dean Says

"You...don't. That's what makes it fun." Crowley Says

He shoots Dean a wily grin and heads out the door. Dean slowly follows, There's a man sitting next to them at the bar. He watches them leave as his eyes turn black. Then he follows them out the door.

THE BUNKER

Corinna is in the kitchen filling a glass with water, Sam enters.

"Hey." Sam Says

"Hey how ya feeling Sasquatch?" Corinna Asks As Sam chuckles

"Okay honestly but Corinna it's okay, you don't have to stay here with me I'm okay." Sim Says

"Bull besides I think it's best I stay here for a couple of days, get a break from that house." Corinna Says

"What's wrong?" Sam Asks

"It's....Denny he's back." Corinna Says

"Denny's back how?" Sam Asks

"A ghost..he's haunting my house, he attached himself to the watch I've been wearing and he wants to stay longer just until the baby's born...but him staying longer makes me even sadder." Corinna Says

"Because it's not really him anymore." Sam Says

"Yeah...I can't believe this is what my life has come to." Corinna Says

"What hiding out in a bunker pregnant." Sam Says

"No hiding from ghost husband." Corinna Says As she and Sam share a laugh

"Don't worry about okay, because I know you'll figure something out." Sam Says holding her hand, Corinna smiles at him

"Oh and by the way, you guys are out of food." Corinna Says

"Great time to go shopping." Sam Says

Later on In the main room Castiel is eating a PB & J sandwich, he grimaces at the taste while chewing it, Corinna and Sam enters the bunker carrying groceries.

"Mm." Castiel Says

"Hey." Sam & Corinna Says

"Tastes like...molecules." Castiel Says

"What? What are you talking about?" Sam Asks

"When I was human, you know, I had to eat constantly. It was kind of annoying." Castiel Says

"Yeah, a lot of human things are pretty annoying." Sam Says

"But...I enjoyed the taste of food -- particularly peanut butter with grape jelly, not jam. Jam I found unsettling." Castiel Says

Corinna and Sam sets the bags down, She sits on the table next to Castiel and takes his sandwich.

"So, what? Now you can't taste PB and J?" Corinna Says

"No, I-I taste every molecule." Castiel Says

"Not the sum of its parts, huh?" Sam Says

"It's overwhelming. It's disgusting..I miss you, PB and J." He stands up "We need to continue your healing. We're almost done." Castiel Says

Castiel lays two fingers on Sam's forehead and starts to heal him. Suddenly he looks a little concerned.

"What?" Sam Says

"Nothing." Castiel Says

Sam slaps his hand away "You're a terrible liar."

"That is not true." Castiel Says

"Kinda is." Corinna Says eating the sandwich

"..I once deceived and betrayed both you and your brother." Castiel Says

"Okay, that's not the point. Cas, what's wrong?"Sam Asks

"I noticed something. It's, uh... It's resonating inside you." Castiel Says

"What?" Sam Says

"Something angelic." Castiel Says

"Okay, uh, what the hell does that mean?" Corinna Asks

"Maybe we should call Dean." Castiel Says

"No. He wanted to go, and he's gone. We'll handle this." Sam Says

JOHN'S STORAGE LOCKER

Dean and Crowley walk in, He removes the hood over Crowley's head.

"Is all this really necessary? I mean, I've been inside your brother. We're practically family." Crowley Says

Dean's eyes flash with rage and he grabs Crowley swinging him into a shelf.

"Listen to me. We are the furthest thing from family. You got that, dickbag?" Dean Says

"Oh, yeah." Crowley Says

"Now, you want to hunt? Let's hunt." Dean Says

Dean opens a small gate and walks through. Crowley goes to follow up realizes that the entrance is guarded by a Devil's Trap, He rolls his eyes.

"I'll be right here." Crowley Says

he looks around at all the strange items on the shelves and in boxes as Dean rummages through case folders.

"So, what do you call this decor, anyway? Rustic obsessive? Paranoid deco?" Crowley Asks
As he picks up and opens a jar of sulfur and sniffs it. Disgusted, he puts it back

"Here we go." He pulls out a file and starts to read "Looks like my dad was working with another hunter when he nabbed Abaddon's pet." Dean holds up a picture of a woman

"I guess the "T" didn't stand for terrible father. It stood for—" Crowley Says

"Tara..Doesn't ring a bell.All right, looks like they interrogated the demon. Then they exorcised him. But not before he mentioned the First Blade." Dean Says

"I love it when I'm right." Crowley Says

"Yeah, well, the rest of the file's empty, genius." Dean Says

"What? Didn't they teach note-taking at Hunters Hogwarts?" Crowley Says

"Let's go see if Tara's still kicking." Dean Says

BUNKER MAIN ROOM

Sam, Corinna and Castiel are in the Bunker doing some research.

"I've found, well, something. It's a detail about when angels leave their vessels...I think. It's, uh, Enochian,
which can be a bit flowery. "And the departed shall remain, and the remains shall be the departed". Castiel Says

"Okay, so, when an angel leaves a vessel, they leave behind a piece of themselves. Like, uh...like an angelic fingerprint." Corinna Says

"Whatever you want to call it, this piece of the departed contains Grace." Castiel Says

"Wait, you're saying there's angelic Grace inside of me?" Sam Says

"Yes. But it's fading each time I heal you." Castiel Says

"Okay. Is that good or bad?" Sam Asks

"Well it's harmless. But the Grace itself... might be helpful." He sets down the book and picks up a file titled 'On the Inner Workings of Angels' "According to this, we may be able to use the Grace that remains inside you to track Gadreel...If we can extract it." Castiel Says

"How would we do that?" Corinna Asks

"Well...painfully." he holds up a picture of a huge syringe with a 4-inch long needle "The Men of Letters believed that you could perform a tracking spell with extracted Grace, but they were never able to test the theory." Castiel Says

"Well, they didn't have a guinea pig, but we do." Sam Says

Castiel looks up very confused "You have a guinea pig? Where?"

"Aww Cas." Corinna smiles at him

"Me, Cas. I'm the guinea pig." Sam Says

"Ohhh." Sam looks closer at the picture of the needle "Any idea where that is?" Castiel Asks

TARA'S PAWN SHOP

Dean and Crowley walk into a pawn shop called Tara's. A fit lady in her fifties is leaning on the counter reading a comic book. She looks up.

"Tara?" Dean Says

"That's what the sign says. Can I help you?" Tara Asks

"Yeah. Hope so. John Winchester ring a bell? I'm his son." Dean Says

"You Sam or Dean?" Tara Asks

"Dean." He Says

Suddenly, behind the counter, Tara winces and grabs her right knee.

"Well, didn't you grow up pretty. Still in the family business?" Tara Asks

"Yeah, born and raised. Listen, bunch of years back, you worked a job with my dad. Well, me and my, uh, associate he-" Dean Says Then Tara raises a shotgun and aims it at them

"Ever since '92, I get a painful little tickle in what's left of my knee whenever a demon is around." Tara Says

"Hunters. So trusting. I'll go grab a latte while you get this sorted." Crowley snaps he fingers to disappear but nothing happens

"Devil's trap under the knock-off Persian, jackass." Tara Says

Dean moves the rug with his boot to reveal a red Devil's Trap.

"Tara listen, my, uh, associate—" Dean Says

"Friends -- besties, actually."  Crowley Says

"Not helping." Dean Says

"Not caring." Tara Says

"Look, I'm the King of Hell. He's a Winchester. There's a reason why we're working together." Crowley Says

"Yeah. It's called possession." Tara Says

Tara grabs a bottle of holy water and splashes it in Dean's face, he looks very annoyed.

"See? I'm good. Okay? Yes, you're right. He is a jackass, but he's helping me on this." Dean Says

"Helping you with what?" Tara Asks

"You and my old man found a demon who knew something about the First Blade. We need to find that blade." Dean Says

"Well, hell. You are as handsome as John. And as dumb, too, if you're looking for that old relic." Tara Says

"We're hunting a Knight of Hell." Dean Says

"Why? They're all dead." Tara Says

"One came back -- Abaddon." Dean Says

Tara goes behind the counter and lays a file on the counter.

"The demon said the archangels used a weapon that could kill the Knights of Hell. We'd never heard of anything like the Knights of Hell or a First Blade. Your dad thought he was lying, trying to save himself. We took him out, and we had a lovely weekend together. Then we went our separate ways. But I could never let the blade go. Something like that could really give a hunter an edge, you know? I looked all over the world -- destroyed my knee and my life. And all I found?" She unlocks a wall safe and takes out a tray full of spell ingredients. "A location spell for the blade that I could never finish. Couldn't find one ingredient -- essence of Kraken." Tara Says

"Kraken? I got a warehouse full of Kraken essence in Belize. Break the trap, I can be there and back before you say, "presto". Crowley Says

"Presto." Tara Says

"I can help. Dean?" Crowley Says

"He wants Abaddon as dead as I do." Dean Says

"If your daddy could see you now." Tara Says

Tara walks around the counter and pushes back the rug with her foot. Then she takes out her shotgun and shoots the Devil's Trap breaking the outer ring. Crowley disappears.

"You know, even if that blade is real, it ain't worth being bosom buddies with the King of Hell." Tara Says

"Abaddon? Way worse. I'll deal with Crowley after. Trust me." Dean Says

"You sound just like your dad... when he said he'd call me." Tara Says

Dean is rather lost of words but Crowley reappears, saving him. He holds a small jar in his hand.

"Shall we?" Crowley Says

Dean and Tara mix the spell while Crowley looks on curiously. They lay out a map of the United States on the counter and Tara pours the liquid spell over it.

Dean lights a match and it flames up. The flames spreads to the outside corners of the map and then quickly burn away all of the map except for the state of Missouri. A spark lands in the middle of the state just northeast of Springfield and Tara points to it.

"Missouri. Figures." Tara Says

"Would you care to join us?" Crowley Asks

"Him? Anytime. You? Never." Tara Says

"Thank you." Dean Says

"Good luck, Dean. You're gonna need it." Tara Says

Dean nods and the men leave the pawn shop. The scene switches to the Impala driving up to a farmhouse. Both men get out and Crowley pauses as they walk toward the house.

"Wait." Crowley Says

"What?" Dean Says

"I'm feeling something." Crowley Says

"What, cramps?" Dean Says

"I feel something dark." Crowley Says

"What, darker than you?" Dean Says

Crowley is about to retort when he notices a man in a beekeeper suit tending bee hives over by the house, he looks extremely worried.

"Oh, no. We need to leave here now." Crowley Says

"What, are you allergic to bees?" Dean Asks

"That's not a beekeeper. That's the father of murder." Crowley Says

"Sorry. Who?" Dean Asks

"It's Cain." Crowley Says

"As in Cain and Abel?" Dean Says

"Dean. We need to be a world away from here -- from him." Crowley Says

Crowley turns to leave and almost runs into Cain who appeared behind him.

"You're not going anywhere. Crowley." Cain Says
