ICE CREAM PARLOR

Episode opens up in a ice cream parlor in Dixon, Missouri. A few people are sitting at the counter. A lady and her young son are ordering at the register.

"Yeah... Give me one scoop of the no-fat, non-dairy vanilla, with a quarter teaspoon of the sugar-free caramel, and 10 -- not 9, not 11 -- blueberries. Got it? Good." She Says

The employee at the register stares at the woman in annoyance as she addresses her son.

"What do you want, honey?" She Asks

The young boy looks at a girl in a booth eating a huge banana split. "That!"

"Excuse me. I-I know this is none of my business, but—" She Says

"You're right. It's not. Go away." She Says

"Where are your parents?" She Asks

"I don't have parents. I'm an Angel." She Says

"Yeah, you're a little Angel. Does your mother know you're sitting here, eating diabetes?" She Says

A man walks in the door looking around and as soon as the girl catches his eye she stiffens.

"You need to run." She Says

"What?" She Says

The Girl turns to the lady with her eyes flashing blue.
"Now!" The man charges the girl and then there is an outside shot of the ice cream parlor named Colonel Scoop's as it exploded in a flash of bright angel light. Glass shoots out into the street.

BUNKER

Scene opens in Sam's room and he is dead asleep on his bed. Suddenly a hand enters the frame and blaring loud rock music plays. Sam jerks awake and pulls a gun on the intruder....who just happens to be his big brother.

"Nice reflexes. Better hair." Dean Says

"What's wrong with you? I could have shot you."He checks his watch "Why aren't you sleeping? We got in like two hours ago." Sam Says

"Not tired. And we got work to do, so put on your dancing shoes, and let's boogie." Dean Says

Dean walks out Sam's room and walks a few doors down to Elena's room and knocks on the door, no answers so he goes inside and see's Elena asleep in her clothes still.

"Lena Wake Up." She snores louder, he leans down to wake her but she punches him in the face "Ow!" Dean Says

" Jesus Christ Dean, what are you doing?!" Elena Says

"Did you seriously have to punch me." Dean Says

"I always sleep with my fist closed, just in case people come in and sneak up on me..what are you doing in my room?" Elena Says

"We got work to do that's what." Dean Says

"Ugh can we do this in the morning, we just got in." Elena wines laying back down on the bed

"No can do if I'm awake so are you guys let's go." Dean Says

Dean puts both his hands on Elena's legs and drags her out the bed as she wines.

"Okay I'm up!" Elena Says

Later in the main room of the bunker, Sam and Elena walks in the library. Sam is drinking a cup of coffee while Dean is busy packing his duffel on the table.

"All right. What's up?" Sam Asks

"Yeah what's so important you had to ruin my sleep." Elena Says

"I called Cas. He said there's something going down in Missouri." Dean Says

"What kind of something?" Sam Asks

"He said he couldn't talk about it over the phone." Dean Says

"Why?" Elena Asks

"Because he is a weird guy, okay? He's a weird, dorky, little guy. But he happens to have an army of Angels behind him, and, even though I hate to say it, if we're gonna take a shot at Metatron, they might be useful." Dean Says

Dean goes to put the First Blade into his duffel but Sam and Elena notices and you can see their level of concern growing.

"Well, do you think we need the First Blade? Why don't we just leave that here?" Sam Says

"We talked about this, and we decided that—" Dean Says

"No. In all fairness, we didn't decide. You did." Elena Says

"Okay, I decided that a hockey stick that can kill anything might come in handy, so sue me." Dean Says

"How many times have we been around this block? Magic that powerful comes at a price, and right now we don't know what that price is." Sam Says

"I'm fine. I'm fan-friggin'-tastic." Dean Says

"And I'm glad, honestly. I'm not saying we bury the thing. I'm saying we just save it for when we really need it. Crowley. Metatron. The big boss fights. You don't have to have it with you all the time, right? I mean, just leave it. Please." Sam Says

Dean setting the blade to the side "No problem."

"Thank you." Sam Says

Dean picks up his duffel bag and walks away, Sam and Elena exchange looks with one another.

"Geez it's like he has separation anxiety with that thing." Elena Says As Sam chuckles

"Yeah." Sam Says

COLONEL SCCOP'S

Scene changes to outside the exploded Colonel Scoop's. Sam, Elena and Dean approach a deputy on duty outside. They go to pull their badges but before they can flip them open she addresses them.

"Agents Spears, Clarkson and Aguilera? FBI?" She Says

"Uh-huh." Dean Says

"Your partner said you'd be along." She Says

"Thank you." Sam Says

They enter and greet Castiel who has been talking with the Sheriff.

"Thank you for coming." Castiel Says

"Spears, Clarkson and Aguilera?" Elena Says

"I've noticed your aliases are usually the names of popular musicians." Castiel Says

"Wow." Dean Says

"Come here. Take a look at this."They approach a body on a gurney and we see her eyes are burned out of her head."Look. And the other bodies are the same -- burnt-out husks." Castiel Says

"Okay, so, what is this, some sort of mass smiting?" Dean Says

"I don't know what this was. Never seen anything like it. Six humans died here... And one angel." Castiel Says

"One of yours?" Elena Asks

"Was a good soldier. This attack... I knew he wanted a war, but this...This is abhorrent, even for him." Castiel Says

METATRON'S OFFICE

Metatron is standing in front of a mirror in his office trying on a trench coat. Someone knocks at the door and he  tries hurriedly to take the coat off.

"Uh...just a second!" Metatron Says

A second later, Gadreel enter and Metatron glares at him.

"I gave you a second." Gadreel Says

"You are such an...angel sometimes. What do you want?" Metatron Asks

"To talk about tonight." Gadreel Says

"We'll be fine." Metatron Says

"No, we -- we're losing, Metatron. Castiel's followers outnumber us. And while they haven't gone on offense, they have proven capable. They stopped you from killing him, and me, for example." Gadreel Says

"I told you, we had our shot with operation Lee Harvey, and we took it. I gave the orders. You weren't to be harmed." Metatron Says

"You had me followed." Gadreel Says

"Yeah, and you met with the enemy... In secret. What is that old line about sins and stones?" Metatron Says

"He spoke. He lied. And I listened. That's it. But I serve heaven. I serve you." Gadreel Says

"Good. Don't forget it. I mean, I-I don't get this whole Cas lovefest, either. I'm offering our people a way home, and still -- still, they're choosing him over me. I mean, sure, he's cute. And Castiel has this simple...charm. He's like a mentally deficient puppy. But I'm lovable. And funny. I made God laugh -- twice!" Metatron Says

"You're the one who asked him to lead an army." Gadreel Says

"Well, I didn't think he'd be good at it." Metatron Says

"Your meeting tonight -- Tyrus -- he controls the largest independent faction of angels left, and—" Gadreel Says

"And I have to make a good impression. I know. I've got a plan." Metatron Says

Gadreel motioning to the trench coat "It's not that, is it?"

"Shut up!" Metatron Says

COMMAND CENTER

Castiel, Sam, Elena and Dean enter Cas command center. The place is bustling with angels and Hannah rises to greet them.

"Commander." Hannah Says

"Oh, it's just creepy." Dean Says

"Sam, Elena Dean, this is Hannah." Castiel Says

"The Winchesters and Ms.Singer I've heard so much about you." Hannah Says

"What can I say? Cas is a fan." Dean Says

An angel in a red shirt takes a box of evidence that Castiel is holding. "I'll start to examine this evidence."

"Y-- oh, um..." Dean Says

"Sir, this morning, Josiah wasn't at roll call." Hannah Says

"Uh, roll call?" Elena Says

"You hold, uh, roll call?" Sam Says

"They like to hear me say their names." Castiel Says

"I know a couple of women like that." Dean Says glancing over at Elena

"No one's seen Josiah since Ezra was murdered. We think that—" Hannah Says

"You think Josiah's the killer, that he is the mole?" Sam Says

"Well, who else? We searched the grounds, but he's vanished." Hannah Says

"Not without wings. He's an angel, but he's still got to travel like he's a human, which means walk, drive."

"Which means he's gonna leave a trail, they always do." Elena Says

Sam walks over and sits down at a computer
"All right. What was his vessel's name?"

"Sean Flynn from Omaha." Castiel Says

"This the guy?" Sam Says showing them the computer screen

"Yeah, that's him." Castiel Says

"All right. Looks like someone just used his credit card at a Gas-n-Sip in Colorado." Sam Says

"And that's how we do things in the pros." Dean Says

"Commander. I have something. This phone's memory chip has a video time-stamped just before the explosion." He Says

In the video plays showing footage from inside Colonel Scoops. The Man rips open his coat to reveals a sigil carved into his chest. He rams an angel blade through his heart as he yells

"I do this for Castiel!" He Says As The whole ice cream shop explodes. Video goes dead.

"What the hell was that?" Dean Asks

"I don't know. I didn't -- I would never ask an angel to sacrifice himself to kill innocents. I'm gonna be sick." Castiel Says

"Cas, why would an angel blow up a Colonel Scoop's in your name?" Elena Asks

"That's not what he was doing. Roll it back. There." She points the girl in the booth. "That was an angel -- Esther. She's one of Metatron's." Hannah Says

"So, this was some kind of hit?" Sam Says

"I don't know." Castiel Says

"Stop saying you don't know." Dean Says

"You can't think I would allow something like this." Castiel Says

"Cas, I know you try to be a good guy, okay? I do. You try. But what you got here, this is a a freakin' cult." Dean Says

"Dean." Castiel Says

"And the last time you had this kind of juice, you did kill humans and angels, and you did nothing but lie to Me, Elena and Sam about it the whole damn time!" Dean Says

"Dean!" Elena Says

"Can we, uh -- can we take this somewhere else, guys?" They all enter Castiel's private office.
"Will you stow the baggage, Dean. Look, we've got a case. Let's work it. Cas, did you know the angel in that video?" Sam Says

"Yes. His name was Oren. He was a new recruit. He worked in community outreach." Castiel Says

"Okay And what does that mean?" Elena Asks

"Some of my troops are stationed at a local hospital. They help where they can. Minor miracles -- it's nothing that would attention." Castiel Says

"So, what was he doing in that video, with the stabbing?" Sam Asks

"The Enochian runes that were carved in his chest -- I...I think that they were meant to focus energy. When he stabbed himself, it unleashed all that power." Castiel Says

"So, what about the girl? What happened to her?" Elena Asks

"If she was the target, if the blast was focused on her, then more likely than not, she -- she was atomized. So, what do we do now?" Castiel Says

"Well, you don't do jack. Me, Elena and Sam will head to the hospital, see if we can find somebody who knew this...walking nuke." Dean Says

"Hold on. These are my people. I can help." Castiel Says

"Well, that's sort of the problem. I mean, the Manson girls aren't gonna give us a straight answer with Charlie in the room, so just hang back." Dean Says

"So, I should just sit here?" Castiel Says

"Pretty much." Dean Says

"No. If you don't want my help, then I will follow Josiah's trail to Colorado. I have to do something, Dean." Castiel Says

"All right, fine. But Sam's coming with you." Dean Says

"What?" Sam Says

"Because you don't trust me?" Castiel Says

"To help." Dean Says

________________________________

ROAD

Sam and Castiel drive down the road in Castiel's car.

"Corinna's had her child, Crowley apparently has a child. Katherine is back but is Elena's doppelgänger.... And Abaddon is dead." Castiel Says

"And then some." Sam Says

"Oh, no." Castiel Says

"Okay. Um...Ominous." Sam Says

"Does Dean seem different to you?" Castiel Asks

"Yeah. Lately, he seems to be...amped up --you know, on edge." Sam Says

"Effects of the mark?" Castiel Says

"What else?" Sam Says

"He does seem angry. I mean, he's always a little angry, but now it seems like...more. I think a part of him actually believed that I ordered those angels to, you know...Sam, you don't, do you?" Castiel Asks

"No, man. Cas, listen. You got a weird thing going on back there. Those other angels, the way they stare at you, I-it's like you're part rock star, part L. Ron." Sam Says

"They've put their faith in me." Castiel Says

"And maybe that's the problem. I mean, people have been doing messed up crap in the name of faith -- in the name of God -- since forever." Sam Says

"Well... I'm not trying to... play God. I'm just trying to get my people home." Castiel Says

BOWLING ALLEY

Metatron and Gadreel are watching a very large man throw a bowling bowl down a lane. He throws a strike.

"Yes! Well done!" Metatron Says

"It's such a simple game. And boy, you got to love the sound of those pins." Tyrus Says

"Beautiful -- a symphony of wood.So, you've heard our offer." Metatron Says

"Yeah, I sign on the dotted line, and, well, my people, they get a ticket upstairs. What if we don't want to go?" Tyrus Says

"But it's home." Gadreel Says

"It's boring. I mean, you -- there's nothing like this in heaven." Tyrus Say

"I could whip you up a bowling alley." Metatron Says

"Eh, but it wouldn't... I mean, just smell that. Mmm." Tyrus Says

"Old shoes and... Alcoholism? I..." Gadreel Says

"Authenticity." Tyrus Says

"So, wait. You're turning me down because of...bowling?" Metatron Says

"And I like being an independent operator. And I hear you're losing. And I hate your face." Tyrus Says

"Well, I could get a new face." Metatron Says

"You'd still be you -- a nerd trying to be one of the popular kids. Mnh-mnh." Tyrus Says

"Okay. Time for the hard sell." Metatron Says As Gadreel takes out his Angel Blade

"Please. You knife me, and all my guys will go running to Castiel. Even you're not that stupid. But tell you what, huh? You out-bowl me, we'll talk?" Tyrus Says

GAS N SIP

Sam and Castiel are at the Gas-N-Sip in Colorado talking to the store employee.

"Ma yeah, I saw him, officer. He filled up some old, uh, woody station wagon." He Says

"Don't suppose you, uh, got the license plate number?" Sam Asks

"No. But he was headed to an address in Pray, Montana." He Says

"How do you know that?" Castiel Asks

"Guy asked for directions." He Says

"Oh." Sam Says

"Uh, you want me to write that down?" He Says

"Yes. Now. Please." Sam Says

COMMAND CENTER

Dean and Elena are sitting down at a table, she looks at him as he rubs the mark on his arm.

"You know if your not up for this—" Elena Says

"Elena I can handle questioning a bunch of uptight angels." Dean Says

Flagstaff enters the room, she sits across from them with a straight face as Dean & Elena looks at her.

"Dean look just watch what you say okay." Elena Says

"Sure whatever you say." Dean Says

Moments later they are questioning a female angel in a doctor's coat. They are sitting across the table from each other in a room that looks like a boiler room.

"What do I call you?" Dean Asks

"My angelic name is 18 syllables long. Let's stick with Flagstaff." She Says

"Copy." Dean Says

"So, you knew this Oren guy?" Elena Asks

"We worked together at the hospital. He was a joy -- bright, full of life." Flagstaff Says

"Yeah, I hear he had a real explosive personality." Dean Says

"Do you think this is a joke?" Flagstaff Says

"Do you see me laughing? Is there anything else you can tell me about him? For example, why he'd light his own fuse." Dean Says

"No. Can I go? I have lives to save." Flagstaff Says

"Welcome to the club." Flagstaff smirks "Something funny?" Dean Says

"Not funny "ha ha." But you thinking you help people -- it's amusing. I help people. A clogged artery here, a tumor there. I do good in this world. You -- you believe every problem can be solved with a gun. You play the hero, but underneath the hype, you're a killer with oceans of blood on his hands. I hate men like you." Flagstaff Says

Dean stares at her calmly and then leaps to his feet and throws the table between them aside in one swift movement. He throws Flagstaff and her chair backwards but catches them before they hit the ground and instantly has an angel blade to her throat.

"Honey, there ain't no other men like me." Dean Says

"Dean!, Stop it let her go." Elena Says

"Don't...please." Flagstaff Says

"Oren. Friends?" Dean Asks

"Constantine... And Tessa." Flagstaff Says

"Wait did you say Tessa?" Elena

" The reaper, Tessa?" Dean Says

Flagstaff nods "You know her?"

WAREHOUSE

Sam and Castiel pull up outside a warehouse in Pray, Montana.

"That looks like the car the guy at the gas station was talking about, right? Maybe Josiah's still around." Sam Says

"Sam, this place is... radiating power. I haven't felt anything like this since... since heaven. We have to get in here." Castiel Says

"All right." Sam Says

Sam goes to pick the lock but the door will not open no matter how much Sam bangs his shoulder against it.

"Step aside. I got this." He throws his body into it and jangles the door handle a few times. Nothing happens. "I don't got this." Castiel Says

AUDITORIUM

Outside of an auditorium, people walk up the stairs. Tessa walks up to the stairs but is stopped by Dean's voice as he steps from behind a post.

"Howdy, Tessa. You're supposed to be working at the hospital tonight, but when I stopped by, you were gone. So was an ambulance. Pro tip -- they all have GPS." Dean Says

"Good to know. So, you're here. Why? You just love musical theater?" Tessa Says

"Only if it's "Fiddler." We need to talk." Dean Says

"Can't. Sorta got a date." Tessa Says

As she turns to leave Dean grabs her jacket to pull her back but accidently reveals part of a sigil carved into her chest, He quickly puts two and two together.

"Not happening." She tries to jerk away but he handcuffs her and pushes her to a wall "Where's the other one? Where's Constantine?" Dean Asks

BOWLING ALLEY

Metatron slamming his bowling shoes on the counter in disgust, clearly he lost the game.

"Better luck next time." Tyrus Says

"Thanks." Metatron Says

"Metatron!" he rips open his shirt and stabs an angel blade into his heart "I do this for Castiel." Constantine Says As while light blast from his chest
