The Devil's Trap- S1E22
"Put my father on the phone you vindictive bitch." Dean yelled into the phone. Lily could barely hear the voice on the other end, but she could tell it was a girl. "Dean? What's going on?" She asked. "Meg." He mouthed. Her eye twitched and she took the phone. "Listen you slut, bring John Winchester back right now or I swear I'll send you to the worst part of Hell." Lily seethed. The girl laughed. Oh, she hated that laugh. "I'm going to call your bluff sweetheart. You'd better come quick. Johnny here may not last through the night." And she hung up. Lily crushed the phone. Sam looked at her. "We're leaving." She stated.
"And going where Lily? We don't know where they are." He sighed. She shrugged. "So? I can find them. Just give me a minute." Sam hugged her from behind. "We need to find the demon and kill it. That's what Dad would want us to do." He said softly.
"No. You're acting like he's already dead Sam. He's not. We need a plan." Dean countered. Lily pushed Sam away and packed her bag. "Get your bags and get in the car. I'm driving." She stated. They both looked at her and she grabbed John Winchester's journal. She flipped through it and grinned. "We're going to Sioux Falls."
"What's in Sioux Falls?" Sam asked. Lily smiled wistfully. "An old friend. Come on."
The sign read Singer Salvage Yard. "We're at a junkyard Lily." Dean stated blatantly. She turned in the driver's seat to look at him. "Thanks Captain Obvious." He frowned and leaned up, looking out the windshield. "You sure you got the address right?" She nodded and finished pulling in. "Let me do the talking." She parked the car and turned it off, hiding the key in her shirt. She pranced right up to the backdoor and knocked loudly. The door flew open to reveal a man around John's age, wearing a cap. "What do you want?" He growled. Sam and Dean stood behind her.
"Uncle Bobby, I'm really upset you don't remember your favorite person in the world." She said. He blinked then grinned. "Lily?" She nodded happily and hugged him. "Get in here before someone sees." Bobby said gruffly. He ushered them inside and shut and locked the door. He poured them all glasses of water. Sam and Dean downed theirs and Lily nursed her glass a while. "Bobby Singer, did you just give us holy water?" She stared, setting her half drunk glass down. Bobby smiled secretively.
"Who are your friends Lillian?" He nodded towards Sam and Dean. "Sam and Dean Winchester."
Bobby got a surprised look on his face. "These are John's boys?" He murmured. She said yes. "I remember you. You ran Dad off with a shotgun once." Dean recalled. Bobby laughed. "Don't even remember what for." He turned to Lily. "I know you aren't here to swap stories young lady. What have you gotten into this time?" So Lily told him about the Daevas and Meg and the yellow-eyed demon that killed John's wife and Sam's girlfriend. She told him how Meg had somehow kidnapped John and was hiding him. And she told him about the Colt, the magical gun that could kill anything. "We need your help Uncle Bobby. We've got to get Uncle John back and kill this demon."
Bobby took everything in very well and agreed to help them. "I've got some books you might want to look through." Lily thanked him. "Lily, help Sam go through those books. I want to talk to Bobby." Dean told her. Reluctantly, she nodded. Bobby showed them to the parlor, where he kept his books. She hadn't been alone with Sam in a long time. She'd avoided it. Sam cracked open a few books and sat down. He looked up at her. "You going to help, or are you going to stand there?" He asked. She sighed and sat down. "I don't need these books. I know how to stop her." She sighed, setting the Key of Solomon aside. Sam raised his eyebrows. "How?" She got a piece of paper and took a minute to draw something with a pen. She showed it to Sam. "What is that?" He whispered curiously. "It's called a Devil's trap. But this one, this is the big one. The Grand Pentacle." He asked what it did. She told him it trapped demons and they couldn't exit it once inside. "I'll draw one on Bobby's ceiling later. I'll use it to exorcise the demon once she tells us where Uncle John is." "Wait, Meg's a demon?"
She shook her hand in an iffy way. "Sort of. There's a demon inside her, inhabiting her body. There is a chance, the girl will die once I exorcise the demon. That swan dive she took wasn't exactly graceful."
"We should talk Lily." Sam said quietly. Her eye twitched. "Nothing to talk about." He set his lips in a thin line. "Nothing to talk about? We kissed Lily. And we almost did more!" He hissed. She broke the stare. "Don't pretend like you care Sam. It didn't mean anything to you so let it go." He looked mortified. "Is that what you think? That I don't care?" She nodded slowly. He reached across the desk and grabbed her hand. "Lily-." He started. "Don't Sam. I know what this is. You love Jessica. You always will. I am nothing compared to Jessica." He stood up and pulled her to her feet. "I'm not comparing you to her Lily. You two are nothing alike. She wouldn't have been able to handle this life. I need someone who can handle it. But I also need someone who can still be normal." And he thought there was no one better than Lily. "That kiss meant everything. Let's keep it that way." He leaned down to kiss her and the door blew open. "How cute." Meg.
Meg was tied to a chair under the Grand Pentacle. "Wow." Sam nodded, impressed. Lily crossed her arms over her chest. "I wasn't bluffing. I will send you back to Hell." Lily sneered. "Exorcise her. I don't care about the risks." Dean told her. Lily had told Dean about the body the demon was inside after they trapped her. Sam looked at Lily and she nodded reluctantly. Sam began to chant the incantation. "Where's my dad?" Dean ordered her. "Dead." Meg smiled painfully. Black smoke was starting to pour from her ears and nose. "Tell us where he really is." This went on for a few minutes. Meg always replied that John was dead. Her mouth gaped open and the black smoke swirled around the room and flew out the open window. The girl's body crumpled. "She's still breathing. Call 911." Lily told Bobby. He hurried out of the room to the kitchen. Dean stepped inside the trap and leaned down.
"Do you know where she hid our dad?" He whispered. The girl blinked. She looked right at Lily. Her eyes widened into the fearful look of a deer caught in headlights. "The Sunrise..." And her eyes shut. "Dead." Lily reported. Her eyes lit up. "Jefferson City! That's it. Come on. We've gotta go." She grabbed Sam and Dean and pulled them into the kitchen. "He's in Jefferson City. We'll be back. Promise. Love you!" She called to Bobby as she pushed the boys out the door. She heard Bobby yell a distant 'be careful' which meant he loved her and she got Sam and Dean in the car. She drove.
"How did you know it was Jefferson City?" Dean asked warily. She shrugged, "Just knew." She couldn't tell them how she really knew. She hit the interstate. "Dean! We have to kill the Yellow-Eyed demon! We have to! It killed Mom!" He didn't say Jessica, but glanced over at Lily. "And we need to rescue Dad. I know you want revenge Sam. I do too. But family comes first." Dean protested. Lily agreed with him. "Sam, you want to kill the demon. I understand. That's what I wanted after my parents died. And I did it. I found them and I killed them. I didn't exorcise them and send them to Hell. I killed them. But I took time first to get my shit together. You need to do that. First, we rescue your dad. Then we kill that son of a bitch." She told him. He muttered a fine and stayed silent. Dean mumbled that Sam was just like their father. Lily told him to get some sleep. When she was certain he was knocked out, she reached across the space separating her and Sam and she grabbed his hand. He looked over at her. "I think we should keep it this way." She smiled. So did he.
"All the windows salted?" Lily asked Sam and Dean. John was half conscious on the couch. They had hidden in a secluded cabin. "Yeah. Doors too." Sam answered. "Good." Dean groaned. "You two are going to get me killed, you know that?" Lily looked at him. "What?"
"You're family. Both of you. And I protect my family. But I don't know how far I'll go to protect my family. That's scary." He explained. Lily put a hand on his shoulder. "I'd rather die than see you put your life on the line for mine." She stated.
"Nonsense. What Dean does for you two, for all of us, he should be proud. It's his job to protect family." John? He was standing up, like he was never hurt. "Hell, I'm proud of him." John smiled. Dean cocked his head to the side and said thanks. Outside, the wind howled. The lights flickered. "What's going on?" Sam looked at Dean. "The demon's here. We've been found." John replied. He told Lily and Sam to go check the salt lines and they left the room. "Dean, do you still have the gun?" His son nodded. "Hand it here."
Dean took the gun from his pocket and stared at it. "Sam shot at the demon back in Iowa and it vanished." John said he wouldn't miss the shot like Sam did. "Give me the gun Dean." Dean flinched and looked at his father. "No." John looked furious. "Dean. Give me the gun." Dean said no again. "You aren't my father. He'd be furious that I wasted a bullet on some random demon. He doesn't ever praise me." Dean stepped away from John and held the gun up. "I don't think you're my dad."
"Dean? What are you doing?" Sam walked into the room, Lily behind him. "This isn't Dad." Dean stated, like it should have been obvious. "What? Yes it is." Sam told him. "No. It isn't Sammy. I don't think we rescued Dad from that building. We got something else." Sam looked between his father and his brother and stood beside Dean. John smiled faintly at Lily. "You're the voice of reason Lily. What do you say? Am I who I say I am?" She got a cold look in her eyes. Then she punched him in the jaw. When he looked back at her, his eyes were yellow. "You little bitch." He snarled. He waved his hand and threw her out of the room. The door locked. Sam lunged for him and John tossed him against the wall, pinning him down. "You can do so much better than that slut." He sighed.
Dean had the Colt pointed at John and he laughed. He pinned Dean to the wall beside Sam and picked the Colt up from the floor where Dean had dropped it. "Really hate this gun." He sighed. Sam and Dean spat insults at their father's body but it only made the demon laugh louder. He got close to Dean. "By the way, your daddy's very aware of what I'm going to do to you two. Not very happy, but he can't do anything. This is revenge. That exorcism you boys did upset me. And that bullet you 'wasted' in the alley? I'm very upset. You killed my son and daughter."
Dean stared back. "Meg? Your daughter?" He nodded, smiling. "And Tom was your son?" John nodded again. "Best kids a guy could ask for." He said wistfully and grinned. "Why'd you kill them? Why'd you kill Mom and Jess?" Sam demanded. John laughed and smiled. He was having fun. "Look at that! He still loves her! Of course he does. He was going to propose. He had a ring picked out and everything." John told Dean. Sam clenched his jaw. "I wonder if he'll give that ring to Lillian. She's a fine young lady. I might keep her around for myself when this is over..." John winked at Sam, like they had a secret. "I killed them, because they got in the way of us Sam! I had such big plans for you and those two were in the way! Those plans are still underway Sammy."
Dean groaned. "Just kill us already." John turned his head, his body turned towards Sam's. "I'm tired of you. But, I think everyone else in this family is too." "What?" Dean blinked. John bellowed laughter. "I forget that you cover up the pain and the truth so much, you forget about it all! No one in this family cares about you Dean. Sam is everyone's favorite. Your dad let Sam leave for college. Imagine if you wanted that. He would have made you stay. He's always concerned about Sam. What about you? And Lillian! She's only here because Sam's here. She doesn't even like you." John told him. Dean's chest started bleeding. "No!" Sam shouted. It came from his mouth and his eyes shut. "Dean!" Sam yelled out. "No. Stop." John whispered. He looked at Dean and Sam fell onto the floor. He dived for the gun and aimed at John. "Kill me, you kill your daddy." Sam shrugged and shot him in the leg. Dean crumbled to the floor. Sam crawled over to him. The door busted open and they looked up. Lily looked fine, except for the rips in her clothes. "That wasn't nice Azazel." She said angrily. Then she noticed Dean. "Oh God." She stepped over John's body and fell next to Dean. "Sammy! Shoot me! Hurry!" John yelled. Dean grabbed Sam's hand. "No. Don't do it." He begged. Black smoke flew from John's mouth and dissolved in the floor. "Sammy." John muttered.
"Sam. Drive faster." Lily commanded. "I'm trying!" He bellowed. She didn't say anything. Sam was speeding towards the nearest hospital and Lily was in the backseat, trying to keep Dean alive. John was in the passenger seat, glaring at Sam. "I thought you wanted that thing dead Sam!" He shouted. "I did. But I couldn't kill you." John didn't say anything. "We can find the demon. We've still got a bullet left in the Colt." Lily said. Sam said the hospital was a couple minutes away.
A semi slammed into the car's passenger side. The Impala was pushed off the side of the road and the semi kept going.
