The brothers managed to recruit Rowena and Gabriel, now being all prepared to go into the alternate universe.

"Are we really gonna leave our children here with Rowena?" Miranda asks.

"Technically, yes." Sam says. "But she's not in charge of them. We make the kids stay in one of their bedrooms and Rowena stays in the library. No contact."

"And we trust the kids to listen? Or Rowena to listen?"

"What does Rowena gain from hurting them except for a target on her back?" Miranda questions. Sam thinks. "Nothing. Exactly. Which means if they cross paths, the kids will be fine."

"We're really doing this?" Sam asks.

"I don't trust Dean to keep you alive and you're gonna need help." Miranda states. "Better get used to it cause it's happening."

"Fruit from the tree of life. Blood of a most holy man." Rowena says, getting the ingredients for the spell to open the rift out.

"Dean." Sam calls getting the older one's attention and Sam tosses him a pack of glow sticks.

Rowena pulls a hair out of Dean's head.

"Ow." He whines.

"Something from the other side." Rowena puts his hair into the bowl.

"Hey. How's Gabriel?" Sam asks Cas when he walks in.

"He said he needed a minute alone. He wanted to extract his grace by himself. "In private."" Cas says.

"Ugh." Miranda grimaces.

"So I left him alone in Dean's room." Cas says.

"You what? No." Dean complains.

"Oh, I love that." Miranda grins making Sam quietly laugh.

"I hate to interrupt, but I can't be the only one to notice the rather glaring hole in our plan." Rowena says. "We open up the rift, it gives us a day to find and save your mom and the boy. And it's a very big world over there and you're not even sure where they are, so..."

"She's right. The clock may run out on us." Cas says.

"Yeah. It might." Sam agrees.

"Yeah, well, we don't have any better ideas." Dean says.

"Mm, that's inspirational." Rowena remarks.

"Here it is!" Gabriel walks in. "The final ingredient -- a fresh serving of archangel grace." He puts a vial on the table. Rowena picks it up, the group looking at the small amount of grace in there that doesn't even fill up half of the vial.

"This is what you call a serving?" Rowena asks.

"That is the jet fuel of divine emissions. It'll be more than enough to get the job done." Gabriel says.

Rowena prepares the spell, everybody getting ready to go through the rift when she opens it. She says the spell and the rift appears.

"Okay, everyone ready?" Cas asks.

"Yeah, all right." Sam says.

"Let's do this." Dean says.

They move towards the rift, but stop when it flickers. It slowly starts to fall sideways, everybody's heads falling with it until it completely disappears.

"Okay." Dean mutters.

"Well, that was... fast." Cas says.

"Very, very fast." Sam says.
