INT. MOTEL ROOM
Dean was asleep. Kit was cuddled in his arms. Sam paused and looked at them before leaving the room.
EXT. MOTEL
A car pulled up. Sam got in the passenger's side.
Ruby, who was driving, asked, "Ready?"
"Definitely," Sam replied.
INT. MOTEL ROOM
Dean was dreaming. His face was terrified and he screamed. He woke to find Castiel sitting on his bed. Kit was still asleep.
"Hello, Dean," Castiel greeted. "What were you dreaming about?"
Dean frowned. "What, do you get your freak on by watching other people sleep? What do you want?"
"Listen to me. You have to stop it."
"Stop what?"
Castiel put two fingers to Dean's forehead.
EXT. STREET
Dean was sleeping on a bench.
An officer tapped one of the bench legs. "Move it buddy -- you can't sleep here."
"Okay... sleep... where?" Dean asked.
"Anywhere but here."
Dean tried to make a call on his cell, but got no signal. "Perfect."
He got up and entered Jay Bird's Diner.
Dean sat at the diner's counter, next to a young man.
"Hey, where the hell am I?" Dean asked.
"Jay Bird's Diner," the young man replied.
"Yeah, thanks. I mean, uh... city and state."
"Lawrence, Kansas."
"Lawrence."
"Hey, are you okay, buddy?"
"Yeah, tough night."
"Hey, uh, coffee here, Reg."
"Okay, coming right up," Reg replied.
Dean pulled his cell from his coat pocket. "Can you tell me where I can get reception on this thing?"
The young man looked at the phone. "The USS Enterprise?"
Dean looked at Reg as he brought the coffee over. Reg was dressed in 1970s hippie gear.
"Thanks... nice threads," Dean commented. "You know Sonny and Cher broke up, right?"
"Sonny and Cher broke up?"
Dean looked around the diner and noticed everyone was dressed in 1970s-era clothes. He looked at the newspaper the young man was reading. The headline read 'Nixon accepts resignation of top...' and the date was Monday, April 30, 1973. A man entered the diner.
"Hey, Winchester," the man greeted.
Dean and the young man looked around. The man shook the hand of the young man.
"Son of a bitch. How are you doing, Corporal?"
"Hey, Mr. D," the young man said.
"I heard you were back."
"Yeah a little while now."
"Good to have you home, John, damn good."
"Dad?" Dean asked.
"Well, say hello to your old man for me."
"You got it, Mr. D," John answered.
John noticed Dean staring at him. "Do we know each other?"
