When Haley, Andrea, Cassie, and Lisa meet, they all quickly realize they have something in common: they're waiting for a man who will never come back.
They share stories, Andrea and Haley quickly jealous that they never got him into bed.
"I lied," Lisa admits. "He is Ben's father."
"I lied, too," Cassie says. "I know we could have worked it out-he's more worth the trouble than anyone else ever has been."
Andrea sighs. "I know he wouldn't have stayed, but I wish I'd asked."
Haley agrees, "Me, too." She raises her glass, still more than half-full. "To Dean Winchester, the man who saved us all."
"To Dean," they each say, clinking their glasses together.
"May he return one day," Lisa adds.
But she remembers what he said, after giving her back the boy he didn't know was his son. She remembers the look on his face.
"May he return," they echo.
Outside, the sky is pale red where it's not covered by yellow clouds.
