CONNIVENCE STORE

Castiel and Claire have a stare down in the store, until the clerk glances over at them. Cas takes Claire's arm and nearly drags her outside.

"Excuse us." Castiel Says

Outside, Claire takes the hood off her head, then starts walking away.

"Claire, wait!" Castiel Says

"Screw you." Claire Says

"Whoa, hey, Miley Cyrus. Settle." Dean Says

"Eat me, Hasselhoff." Claire Says

"Claire, hold on a second. Look, my name's—" Sam Says

"Sam. Elena And you're Dean. We've met, remember?" Claire Says

"Claire. You were going to rob that convenience store?" Castiel Says

"So?" Claire Says

"So?" So ... it's—it's wrong!" Castiel Says

"You want to talk to me about wrong? You killed my dad. Is that "wrong" enough for you?!" Claire Says

"No, I didn't." Castiel Says

"Really? Because without you, he'd still be here. And my mom would still be around." Claire Says

"Claire, I'm—" Castiel Says

He takes a step towards her, and she pulls the gun from her pocket, cocking it and pointing it at him.

"Don't!" Claire Says

"That won't hurt me." Castiel Says

"Fine." Claire Says

Claire turns the gun on Sam, Elena and Dean, who  takes a step back.

"Whoa! Hey, come on." Dean Says

"Hold on a second." Elena Says

"Why? Like you don't have it coming? You stood there while this monster took my dad." She puts the gun down, then turns to Cas. "I used to pray to you, Castiel. Every night. I would beg you to bring him home safe." Claire Says

"I know." Castiel Says

"You know ... My father was a good man. In what messed up world does he have to die and you get to live?" Claire Says

"I'm sorry." Castiel Says

"No. You feel guilty. There's a difference." Claire Says

"So what? Now you run back to Randy? The guy you steal for?" Sam Says

"How do you know about that?" Claire Asks

"Your buddy Dustin told us, he was very helpful." Elena Says

"Claire, that man is using you." Castiel Says

"He was there for me. When things got bad—and they got real damn bad—he was there when no one else was. He's my family. And you're just ... you can go to hell." Claire walks away, leaving Cas watching after her

HELL

In Hell, Gerald opens the cell. Rowena and the other demon look up at him.

"The boss will see you now." Gerald Says

Rowena smiles. Gerald leads her into a room where Crowley is sitting on his throne.

"Mother." Crowley Says

"Fergus." Rowena Says

"Crowley!" He Says

"Fergus." Rowena Says As Crowley lets out a laugh

"So you haven't changed." Crowley Says

"But you certainly have. King of Hell, bravo. I always knew my boy was meant for big things." Rowena Says

"Really? As I remember it, you said I would die in a gutter, covered in my own sick." Crowley Says

"I was motivating you to do better, aim higher. And clearly, it worked. How did you die?" Rowena Says

"The point is, you hated me." Crowley Says

"Oh, please." Rowena Says

"You said you'd be back in a flash. Then you disappeared. I was eight years old. EIGHT!" Crowley Says

"Oh, now you're being dramatic." Rowena Says

"I didn't even have a father!" Crowley Says

"Of course you had a father! You were just conceived during a winter solstice orgy, and it's not like I was taking names. What do you want me to say? I ... I had a disagreement with the locals and when they set their hounds on me, I had to leave!" Rowena Says

"And never come back? For hundreds of years?!" Crowley Says

"But I'm here now! We have a second chance. We can be a real family again, Fergus." Rowena Says

"Crowley!, And I have a family." He Says

"Who? The demons? Any one of them would stab you in the back if they thought they could get away with it." Rowena Says

"And you wouldn't?" Crowley Says

"No! Because we're family! We're blood! You can trust me. I can help you! "Crowley gives her a look, and she makes her way up to him "I understand you're angry. I understand you ... hate me. And if you want to keep me locked away, then so be it. But understand that I'll always be your mother. And I'll always love you." Rowena Says

She kisses him on the head, and Crowley stares at the ground.

BAR

In a bar, Sam, Dean, Elena and Cas come walking up. The bartender walks over to them.

"Give me a shot of ... um ..." Castiel Says

"Four whiskeys." Dean Says

"Cas, don't beat yourself up, man. Claire was ..." Elena Says

"Right. She was right. Who am I to tell her how to live her life?" Castiel Says

"Well, somebody needs to. It's not like we're talking about Mother Teresa here. The girl just about knocked over a Gas n Sip. She's got issues." Dean Says

"Because of me." Castiel Says

"Well, you are wearing her old man's meat suit. Probably didn't help." Dean Says As Sam shakes his head at him

"I thought I could make it up to her." Castiel Says

"I don't think you can. I mean, Jimmy was her father, and to some people, that's ... That's everything, you know?" Sam Says

"No, I don't. I never knew my father. He was distant, to say the least." He turns to Dean "What about you? Did you love your father?" Castiel Asks

Dean looks to Sam, then back to Cas. "With everything I had."

"Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't always easy, but yeah."  Sam Says

"Elena?" Castiel Says

"Of course..I mean Bobby was all I had, he did the best he could and he raised me to the woman I am today..I loved him unconditionally." Elena Says

"Yeah I mean, look. John Winchester's not going to win any "Number One Dad" awards, you know? But you know... damn if he wasn't there when we needed him." Dean Says

"Hey, uh ... Tell him about that time in New York." Sam Says

"Oh yeah. Yeah, okay. So, uh ... We were working this haunting in Long Island, and me and Sam begged the old man to let us go to the city for once." Dean Says

"He had this thing about New York, right? Too big, too loud, too dirty." Sam Says

"Yeah, and he hated the Yankees." Dean Says

"Big time." Sam Says

"Somehow, we convince him to let us go. So, we all go. We all, you know, see all the sights, and uh, ride the subway, eat too much pizza. The whole nine. Well, by about midnight, Sam and Dad are zonked, and I figure... Screw it. I'm going to CBGB." Dean Says

"So CBGB is—" Sam Says

"I know. It's where The Ramones and Blondie got their start." Castiel Says

Sam looks to Dean and Elena, all of them taken aback from Castiel.

"Right." Dean Says

"Look at you knowing your facts." Elena smiles at Castiel

"Wow. Anyways, he was way underage at the time." Sam Says

"All right, so I get there. I sneak in, and it is nuts. I mean, people are drinking and they're smoking and they're—they're snorting whatever. There's a five-hundred pound guy on stage with a Mohawk just screaming. And, uh, my mind is blown. I don't even know what to do. Then this girls walks up and she says "Hey, why don't you come over and sit down with me and my friends at our table?" All right!" Dean Says

"Yeah, and they get him drunk. First time." Sam Says

"But not fun drunk. I'm not quite sure what was in that stuff, but the room starts to spin, and I feel like I'm going to puke ... forever. And right about that time, I hear him. "Dean Winchester!" Cas looks confused, but Sam just smiles. "My old man. I don't know how, but he found me. And now I'm really freaking out, because he's just standing there, not saying anything. I look around, and everybody else is freaking out, too. In fact, nobody's even looking him in the eye. And finally, this one guy with, like, a safety pin through his nose and a—a "Kill Everything" tattoo looks up and he says, "Sorry, sir."
Cas and Elena smiles, and he shakes his head. "Yeah. "Sorry, sir." To John friggin' Winchester." Dean Says

Dean, Elena and Sam take a sip of their whiskey, while Cas throws his back like a shot.

"He saved you." Castiel Says

"Yeah, and you know what he got for that? Me whining about how much he embarrassed me. Me telling him that I hated him. But then he stopped and turned around and he looked at me and he said, "Son, you don't like me? That's fine. It's not my job to be liked." Dean Says

"It's my job to raise you right." Sam Says

"Yeah. And he did." Dean Says

"Do you think Claire is in trouble." Castiel Says

"She's hanging out with a guy named Randy. She's in trouble." Dean Says

Dean motions to the bartender, who says their refills are coming up.

RANDY'S HOUSE

Claire walks into Randy's house "Randy—"

She stops abruptly when she sees Randy surrounded by three men. One of them turns around to her.

"Hey! Evenin', little lady." Salinger Says

"Honey? Do you have something for me?" Randy Asks

Claire shakes her head, and a man near Randy flips open his knife, putting it at Randy's neck.

"No!" Claire Says

She pulls the gun out of her pocket, but is quickly overpowered by a big man from behind. He gets the gun from her easily. Salinger laughs.

"Guns blazing, huh? That was your plan? Trust me. This pile of crap? He ain't worth it." Claire spits in his face, he laughs "Put her in the other room.
She's got fight I like that. I married the last girl that spit in my face."He takes a drink of the beer in his hand. "Last few months, you've lost a bundle on the ponies. How much do you owe me now?" Salinger Says

"Five thousand." Randy Says

"So how about I give you a break? And you give me the girl." Salinger Says As Randy shakes his head

"That's a joke, right? Claire's like family to me." Randy Says

"Please! I know the con, all right? You find some kid with Major League daddy issues and then get her to steal for you. Cut the proud papa act. I'll make you a good deal." Salinger Says

"Like I said, Claire's family. So it better be a damn good deal." Randy Says

________________________________

HELL

In Hell, Gerald throws Rowena back into the cell. He tries to get her back into her shackles.

"Stop!" She turns to Crowley "I know who's been smuggling souls up from Hell." Rowena Says

"Really? Pray do tell" Crowley Says

Rowena turns to Gerald "Him."

"What?" Gerald Says

The other demon in the cell stands to her feet.
"It's true, Mister ... My lord. Gerald, he—we made a deal."

"She's lying!" Gerald Says

"Why? Why would she lie?" Rowena Says

Gerald grabs Rowena and pushed her against the wall, closing his hand over her throat and choking her.

"That's enough of that, Gerald." Crowley Says As He continues choking her

"I'll kill you, bitch!" Gerald Says

"That's enough, Gerald." Crowley Says

Gerald continues choking her until he lights up, gasping and choking himself, a knife through his neck, out his mouth. Gerald falls, and Crowley is left standing there, holding the bloody knife.

"I said, that's enough, Gerald." Crowley turns to walk away

"Thank you." Rowena Says

Crowley stops at the door, turning back to her.
"Coming?" Rowena follows behind him

"Rowena? You said that if I lied, you'd get me out of here." She Says

"Oh, and I will, darling. I'll be back in a flash."
Rowena walks from the room, closing the cell door behind her

RANDY'S HOUSE

Claire is sitting on a bed by herself when she hears footsteps. The door opens, and Salinger is standing there. He motions for his men to leave, and he turns to Claire.

"Hi." He finishes off his beer, then turns and locks the door "It's Claire, right?" Salinger Says

She won't look at him, until he's standing in front of her. He reaches down, taking hold of her chin, making her look up at him.

"You really are a pretty one, you know that?" Salinger Says

She lifts her leg, kneeing him in the groin. She runs to the door and tries to unlock it, but Salinger is right behind her, grabbing her as she screams.

One of Salinger's men opens the front door to find Cas, Sam, Elena and Dean standing there. Cas lifts a hand, and the man goes flying backwards. Randy and another of the men look towards the door. Cas, Elena and the winchesters walk inside, and another man goes towards Cas, stopping when he sees Sam and the gun in his hand.

"Don't!" Sam Says

"Back it up." Dean Says

The man does as he says, and Sam, Elena and Dean hold the men at gunpoint. Cas looks around the room.

"Where's the girl?" Castiel Asks

They hear screaming come from upstairs. In the room, Claire is screaming, trying to fight Salinger off. He's trying to hold her down, and the door flies open. Castiel is standing there, and Salinger turns to look at him, giving Claire enough of an opening to kick Salinger in the face and get up. She kicks him, over and over again.

"Claire. Claire!" Castiel Says

Castiel grabs her arm, and she finally stops kicking. Cas leads her from the room. They walk downstairs, and Claire moves away from Cas.

"Randy." Claire Says

He looks at her, then stares at the floor, guilt on his face.

"Cas, Get her out of here." Elena Says

"Yeah. Go." Sam Says

"Go." Dean Says

Sam and Elena nods, following after Cas and Claire. Dean starts to follow them, until Salinger's men start to move forward. Dean raises his gun again.

"Hey, back up! Back up. Don't be as dumb as you look." Dean Says

"Hey!" Salinger Says

Dean turns around and Salinger smashes his beer bottle over Dean's head. He falls, bleeding from his forehead. He looks up, then flashes back, to receiving the Mark from Cain, the feeling of holding the First Blade, killing Abaddon. The men crowd closer around him, and he remembers beheading Magnus, holding the First Blade, waking up a demon, the ritual of the sanctified blood that made him human again. Back in the present, Dean shakes his head.

"You guys ... don't want to do this." Dean Says

Salinger laughs, then kicks Dean in the face. Claire climbs into the back seat of the Impala, and Castiel sits beside her and Claire smiles.

"Are you okay?" Castiel Asks

"Yeah." Claire Says

She moves over, laying her head on Castiel's chest, wrapping her arms around him. Cas hugs her back. Sam and Elena climbs in the car and glances back. They turn their head back towards the house as he hears shouting, then leaves the car as fast as they can.

In the house, Dean is kneeling in the living room, a bloody knife in his hand. In a horrifying sequence, it's revealed that his dream from earlier, the blood-covered bodies surrounding him as he kneels in a room, has become a reality. Salinger and his men, along with Randy, litter the floor around Dean, their bodies sliced and bloody. Claire screams, and Cas pulls her to him. Elena looks at the dead men in horror than looks back at Dean, Sam puts his gun away as he walks to Dean.

"Oh my..." Elena Says

"Dean? Dean. Hey." He gets on his knees in front of Dean, then takes his brother's face in his hands.
"Tell me you had to do this." Sam Says

"I didn't ... I didn't mean to." Dean Says

"No. Tell me it was them or you!" Sam Says

Cas has a horrified look on his face as he looks from Dean to the carnage surrounding him. He leads Claire back outside with Elena following him, leaving Sam and Dean alone, the bloody bodies surrounding them. Sam's hands fall from Dean's face, as Dean seems to be realizing what he's done.
