Natalie and Sam are sitting at a table in the diner and Libby is on Sam's lap.

"What do you mean, you don't think it will work, Bobby? It's a demon dispelling ritual." Sam says. There's a knock on the window by their table and the look over to see Dean and Ophelia, the former waving a newspaper.

"Well, maybe we got the translation wrong." Sam says as Natalie watches Dean and Ophelia walk inside. "Look, we can't just let Dean fry in Hell while we--" He stops as Bobby talks. "Well, there's got to be something that w--" He notices Dean get closer. "Oh, uh, yeah, no, uh, I-I gotta go. Uh. Okay. Never mind." He hangs up.

"Hey. Who was that?" Dean asks.

"Uh, I was just ordering pizza." Sam says. Natalie gives him a 'what the fuck' look and he shrugs.

"Dude, you do realize that you're in a restaurant?" Dean asks.

"Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I... just felt like pizza, you know?" Sam says, giving him a tight lipped smile.

"Ophi?" Dean asks.

"Yeah, sure, whatever. Lie, don't lie, whatever." Ophelia mumbles, sitting next to her aunt.

"Okay." Dean mumbles before clearing his throat. "So, I think I got something." He says, sitting down by Ophelia.

"Yeah?" Sam asks.

"Cicero, Indiana. Falls on his own power saw." Dean informs, giving Sam the newspaper.

"And? What, that's it? One power saw?" Sam asks.

"Well... yeah." Dean says.

"And you think that this is a case?" Sam asks.

"Well, I don't know. Could be." Dean shrugs.

"I don't know, Dean. I-I--"

"All right, there's something better... better in Cicero than just a case."

"And that is?"

"Lisa Braeden."

"Should I even ask?"

"No. No, we shouldn't." Natalie shakes her head.

"Remember that road trip I took, uh... gosh, about eight years ago now? You were in Orlando with dad wrapping up that banshee thing. I had Nat." Dean says.

"Yeah. Yeah, the five states, five day--"

"Yeah." Dean nods and laughs.

"I finally had a motel room to myself." Natalie grins.

"Well, kind of. Although, I spent most of my time in Lisa Braeden's loft." Dean says.

"So, let me get this straight. You want-- you want to drive all the way to Cicero just to hook up with some random chick?" Sam asks.

"She was a yoga teacher. It was the bendiest weekend of my life." Dean grins.

Libby and Ophelia are both looking between the brothers, completely confused by what he did with Lisa.

"Come on. Have a heart, huh?" Dean says. "Smile! God knows I'm gonna be smiling after 24 hours with Gumby girl." He chuckles. "Gumby girl." He frowns. "Does that make me Pokey?"

Sam, Natalie, and the girls are at a diner. The twins are sitting across from each other and Libby is sitting on her dad's lap, despite having her own chair. She's eating fries while watching him do whatever on his laptop.

Ophelia is sitting next to her aunt and eating chicken tenders and fries.

A chair pulls up to the end of the table and a blonde woman sits at the end of it.
