"So you couldn't even give us a hint?" Dean asked as the four climbed into the Impala once more. They had finally stopped by at Jimmy's house, only to be greeted by a demon attempting to attack the Novaks. After being able to save them and gain a car for Claire and Amelia to escape in, Jimmy had gotten a call from demons saying that they had captured Amelia and Claire and were using them as a ransom to gain Jimmy himself. Squeezed in between Kāzia and Eva, Jimmy was muttering many prayers, begging the heavens for Castiel not to abandon him. Eva attempted to make eye contact with Kāzia, but her friend was looking out the window.

When no one answered Dean's question, the older Winchester scoffed, turning his attention back to the road. Upon reaching the area where the demons had claimed they captured Jimmy's family, all five tumbled out of the car and ran in. Without warning, the three demons launched the attack: one of which being Amelia. Through the midst of the fight, Eva attempted to spot out Claire - Jimmy's young daughter, however, was no where to be seen.

A sound of a gunshot rang out throughout the abandoned factory. Eva watched as Jimmy fell to his knees, the area around his abdomen turning a dark crimson. She glanced at the demon who was possessing Amelia. She glanced towards Claire, then nodded towards the two other demons who, at the moment, were fighting with Kāzia, Dean and Sam. "Kill the girl," possessed Amelia ordered.

Before the demons had a chance to fulfill her order, Claire had stood up to her feet. Her eyes were glowing, signaling to Eva that Castiel had possessed her. Easily exorcising the demons, Claire-now-Castiel turned attempted to make her way towards Jimmy, only to stop at the sound of a demon crying out in terror and alarm. Everyone present turned their attention towards Sam, who had attacked a demon that attempted to grab Claire/Castiel from behind, and had bitten down on her neck. Eva's jaw dropped as she watched in horror at the sight of Sam who was drinking the blood hungrily, similar to the way a vampire might.

Throwing the demon forward, Sam wiped the blood from his mouth, raising his hand and killing her quickly and easily. He then turned towards the demon possessing Amelia, killing the demon just the same. Silence filled the factory until Jimmy gasped out in pain. Eva looked at him to see Claire/Castiel bend down next to him.

"Castiel, please," Jimmy begged, his voice raspy from the pain.

"Claire is very much like you," Claire/Castiel commented. "Something in her blood makes her special. I will use her as my new vessel."

Jimmy's eyes widened, terrified. "No, Castiel, please… I beg of you. Take me… I'm already half-dead anyway. Please, don't take Claire."

"It will be painful," Castiel warned. "You will never die nor age. Are you sure you want that?"

"I don't care," Jimmy replied. "I'll do anything."

Meeting his gaze evenly, Castiel slowly nodded. "As you wish," was his last response before a bright light filled the room as he left Claire's body. Another flash and Jimmy was unconscious once more. Glancing back at the Winchesters and Kāzia, Eva slowly approached him. Before she could shake him awake, Jimmy's eyes opened. He met Eva's gaze, then slowly stood up, shouldering past her. From the cold greeting, Eva concluded that Castiel was back to normal.

Dean approached the angel before he could take his leave, grabbing onto his arm. Castiel glanced at him, then stopped walking, turning to face him.

"Cas, hold up," Dean said. He stared at the angel facing him as he added, "what were you gonna tell me?"

Castiel met his gaze evenly. "I learned my lesson while I was away, Dean," he said, his voice harsh. "I serve Heaven, I don't serve Man. And I certainly don't serve you." As he turned around once more, about to leave, Kāzia grabbed him. He stopped, turning harshly at her, about to rebuff her as well only to be interrupted as Kāzia snapped:

"Bullshit," she spat. She narrowed her eyes, attempting to drag him back as she added, "just tell him what you were going to say and get over with it."

"Do not talk to me in that tone, Kāzia Yearley," Castiel warned, his eyes dark. "I don't know who you really are or where you and Eva are from, but I will not tolerate you two anymore. Either you both leave now and go back to where you came from, or I'll send you back myself." He shook off her arm harshly, stepping backwards, meeting Kāzia's gaze evenly. "And I won't hesitate this time."

Eva felt a rush of cool air tingle up her spine as Castiel vanished in a flutter of wings. Kāzia stepped back, her back still facing Eva and Winchesters. Eva was attempted to approach her and tell her that there was no stopping Castiel anyway, but thought twice about it. Kāzia had already snapped at her about treating everything like it was a tv show, still, and not a reality. And after being ditched by Cas, Eva knew that Kāzia was not in the mood.

Back on the road, it was chillingly quiet in the Impala. Eva awkwardly glanced out of a window, recalling what was going to happen next. Dean was going to trick Sam into going back to Bobby's and lock them in the panic room, making sure all the demon blood was out of his system. Eva bit her lip, pushing her glasses up to rest correctly on the bridge of her nose. She was not ready for the outcome.

"Dean…" Sam started awkwardly. Dean didn't answer and Sam cleared his throat. Before he had a chance to pry for Dean's opinion, a buzzing sound sounded from his jacket pocket. Pulling out his phone, he answers. After talking for a few moments, he hung up, glancing back at Dean. "That was Bobby. Says he needs to see us and we need to get back to his place."

Dean merely shrugged, turning left, heading in the direction of South Dakota, Eva presumed. She glanced at Kāzia. Her friend was resting her cheek against her hand, eyes closed. Eva thought it best not to disturb her. They could talk after they reached Sioux Falls.

Upon reaching their destination, Kāzia and Eva followed quietly after Sam and Dean as they entered Bobby's house. A brightness seemed to appear in Kāzia's eyes as she looked around the room, smiling slightly. Eva acknowledged the happy feeling - after all, Bobby's house was where the boys' greatest memories were held. She glanced back at the brothers as they ascended down the stairs, followed by Bobby himself. He glanced back at the two girls, nodding to them awkwardly. Eva gave him a small smile as they reached the door of the panic room.

Sam frowned, glancing back at them. Bobby nodded to the doors, opening it. "Got somethin' I need to show you," he muttered. Sam glanced at him suspiciously before walking in, only to have the door slammed behind him. Eva turned her head away as Sam banged on the other side of the door.

"Dean? Bobby? Hey!" he exclaimed, still pounding desperately on the door. "Let me out!"

Eva swallowed, crossing her arms. She knew there could have been some way to stop this. She glanced at Kāzia who bit her lip, eyes shut until she opened them. Before she could head towards Eva, Dean shouldered past her, gaining her attention. Eva watched as Dean stared at Kāzia incredulously, a look of both anger and pain in his eyes.

"You couldn't have given us just one hint?" he asked. Kāzia opened her mouth to respond, only to falter as she stared helplessly back at Dean. He didn't bother to say anything else as he headed for the stairs, disappearing up to the first floor.
