Episode Summary

Written by Aurelia

St. Mary’s Convent, Ilchester, Maryland, in 1972.
A demon moves along the hallways of the convent and, entering the chapel, takes possession of the priest who’s there…

A little later, while the priest is officiating.
“Our Father who art in…Heaven…Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, blah, blah, blah, he says to the surprise of one of the nuns. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us...from Evil, he adds with a half-smile and he turns towards the nuns. Truer words never spoken, huh, sisters? But sometimes it seems as if it’s difficult to know the Creator, he says walking in the aisle. Sometimes I feel…in a very literal sense…that I have been wandering the desert for years looking for our Father, and arriving at the chapel door, he locks it up. Well, not our Father. My Father. See, he’s in jail. Your Dad put him there, he adds and the nuns turn towards him. I almost gave up hope. But “ye of little faith” …Because I finally found Him…Or at least, you know, the spot where His cage door opens. It’s right here…In a damn convent, for God’s sake. Life is funny.
- Uh...Father? The sister, who had been surprised by ‘blah blah blah’, interrupts him.
- Shut your friggin’ pie hole, you little slut! He shouts before starting smiling and he turns back to the altar. Then again, I suppose it makes sense. Folks forget…my Daddy is an angel, after all. Or was. I mean, I suppose some dumb bastard stood here, felt a jolt of his holy juice, and thought, “I’m gonna build me a nun factory”. Well…it’s the right idea…wrong angel, he says before turning towards the cross and, as his eyes turn yellow, he pulls out his knife. So, um…If any of you gals are the praying type, now would be a good time to start”, and from outside the chapel, we hear the sisters’ howls.

Nowadays.
Leaning against Ruby’s car, Sam seems lost in thought. After shutting the trunk, she asks:
“Sam? Your head in the game, here?
- I’m good. Let’s go.
- You okay?
- I just said I was, he says turning towards her.
- Look, I know hand-holding really isn’t my thing…But still, Dean was wrong saying what he said to you.
- No, he was right to say it. I mean, I don’t blame him, after what I did.
- Well, after we’re done, you guys will patch things up. I mean, you always do.
- You’re talking like I got an “after”.
- Don’t say that.
- I can feel it inside me, Ruby. I’ve changed…for good. There’s no going back now.
- Sam…
- Look...I know what I got to do. It’s okay. I’m just saying. Dean’s better off as far away from me as possible. Anyway, doesn’t matter. Let’s just get this done with”, he adds before getting into the car.

At Bobby’s, his brother also seems lost in thought.
“Dean? Dean? You listen to a word I said?
- Yeah, I heard you. I’m not calling him.
- Don’t make me get my gun, boy.
- We are damn near kick-off for Armageddon. Don’t you think we got bigger fish at the moment?
- I know you’re pissed, and I’m not making apologies for what he’s done, but he’s your…
- Blood? Dean interrupts him. He’s my blood is that what you’re gonna say?
- He’s your brother, and he’s drowning.
- Bobby, I tried to help him. I did. Look what happened.
- So try again.
- It’s too late.
- There’s no such thing.
- No! Damn it! No. We got to face the facts…Sam never wanted part of this family. He hated this life growing up…Ran away to Stanford first chance he got. And now it’s like déjà-vu all over again. Well, I am sick and tired of chasing him, Dean says sitting down. Screw him. He can do what he wants.
- You don’t mean that.
- Yes, I do, Bobby. Sam’s gone. He’s gone. I’m not even sure if he’s still my brother anymore. If he ever was.
- You stupid, stupid son of a bitch! Bobby exclaims after knocking over everything that was on his desk and Dean is so surprised by his friend’s move that he gets up again. Well, boohoo! Bobby says. I am so sorry your feelings are hurt, princess! Are you under the impression that family’s supposed to make you feel good? Bake you an apple pie, maybe? They’re supposed to make you miserable! That’s why they’re family!
- I told him, “you walk out that door, don’t come back”, and he walked out anyway. That was his choice!
- You sound like a whiny brat, and then Dean heads for the window. No. You sound like your dad. Well, let me tell you something. Your dad was a coward, and Dean turns towards him.
- My dad was a lot of things, Bobby, but a coward?
- He’d rather push Sam away than reach out to him. Well, that don’t strike me as brave. You are a better man than your daddy ever was. So you do both of us a favor. Don’t be him.”

Dean turns around to think because Bobby has got on to a sensitive point but when the young man turns towards his friend, he finds himself in a totally different room!
“Hello, Dean. It’s almost time”, Castiel tells him.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.
“We’re gonna take you to the nursery, sugar, ‘Lilith’s personal chef’ says as she gets out of a room with a cradle. Let mommy and daddy get some sleep. He’s a beautiful child. Absolutely scrumptious. Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker’s man. Bake me a cake as fast as you can. Pat it and roll it and mark it with a ‘B’, she sings while her eyes are black. And put it in the oven…, she adds before being lifted from the ground and dragged right to the wall and then, Sam and Ruby appear.
- So, we need to talk”, Sam tells her.

Meanwhile, Dean paces up and down and suddenly, on the table, there are a plateful of hamburgers and a bucket containing bottles of beer.
“Hello, Dean. You’re looking fit, says Zachariah who has just appeared along with Castiel.
- Well, how ‘bout this? Dean says putting a bottle back in its place. ‘The suite life of Zack and Cass’. It’s a…Never mind. So, what is this? Where the hell am I?
- Call it a greenroom. We’re closing in on the grand finale, here. We want to keep you safe before show time. Try a burger. They’re your favorite, Zachariah says holding one out to him. From that seaside shack in Delaware. You were 11, I think.
- I’m not hungry.
- No? How about Ginger from season 2 of Gilligan’s Island? You do have a thing for her, don’t you?
- Tempting, Dean answers as if he was thinking about it. Weird, he adds then.
- We’ll throw in Mary Ann for free.
- No, no. Let’s…bail on the holodeck [reference to Star Trek. Holodeck=a room which recreates virtual environments for training or entertainment], okay? I want to know what the game plan is.
- Let us worry about that. We want you…focused, relaxed.
- Well, I’m about to be pissed and leaving, so start talking, Chuckles.
- All the seals have fallen. Except one.
- That’s an impressive score. That’s…that’s right up there with the Washington generals.
- You think sarcasm’s appropriate, do you? Considering…you started all this? But the final seal, Zachariah says tapping on Dean’s shoulder, it’ll be different.
- Why? Dean asks turning towards the two angels.
- Lilith has to break it, Zachariah answers. She’s the only one who can. Tomorrow night. Midnight.
- Where?
- We’re working on it.
- Well, work harder.
- We’ll do our job. You just make sure you do yours.
- Yeah, and what is that, exactly? If I’m supposed to be the one that stops her, how? With the knife?
- All in good time.
- Isn’t now a good time?
- Have faith.
- What, in you? Give me one good reason why I should.
- Because you swore your obedience, Zachariah replies coming up to Dean. So obey”, he adds with a threatening expression and when the young man looks at Castiel, the angel remains silent and bows.

Meanwhile, in a house.
“What, no devil’s trap? Asks the nurse who’s tied to a table.
- I don’t need one, Sam replies.
- Look at you…all ‘roided up. It’s like A-rod [Alex Rodriguez from the New York Yankees] and Madonna over here.
- Where’s Lilith?
- I’m not scared of you.
- Yeah, you are, actually. And with good reason.
- Look...what’s my upside? She asks him. Okay, I tell you, you kill me. I don’t tell you, you still kill me. I get away somehow, Lilith will definitely kill me. So where’s my carrot?
- I think what you should be worrying about is what happens before you die”, Sam answers and she starts howling when he uses his power against her.

Meanwhile, in the greenroom, his cell phone in his hand, Dean paces up and down.
“Ah, screw it, he says before he finally calls his brother.
- It’s Sam. Leave me a message.
- Hey, it’s m…me. Uh...Look, I’ll just get right to it. I’m still pissed...And I owe you a serious beat down. But...I shouldn’t have said what I said. You know, I’m not Dad. We’re brothers. You know, we’re family. And, uh...No matter how bad it gets, that doesn’t change. Sammy, I’m sorry”, and he hears the beep putting an end to the message he could leave.

As for Sam, he’s still using his power when, suddenly, the demon exclaims:
“Stop! Stop! Please!
- You’ll tell me where she is?
- Fine. Fine. Just…let me die.
- Deal.
- Tomorrow night…midnight…She’s gonna be at a convent. St. Mary’s, Ilchester, Maryland.
- A convent? Sam repeats.
- Lilith…She’s gonna break the final seal.
- And what is the final seal?
- I don’t know. Aaaah! she yells when Sam starts using his power again. I don’t know! I don’t know! I don’t know! I swear! Ohh, please! I’m begging you…Kill me, please!
- Fine.
- Wait. You can’t, Ruby intervenes.
- Why not?
- Because we got to take her with us. It’s the final run on the Death Star, and you need more juice than I got, Ruby explains.
- You promised, the demon reminds him.
- Sorry, sister, Ruby replies. You’re a walking, talking can of whupass.
- You bitch!
- I know. Just can’t trust anyone these days.
- Well, least you won’t be able to crack me open that easy, the demon says after thinking.
- That so?
- Don’t forget. It’s not just me you’re bleeding. In fact, I think I’m gonna take a little…siesta in the subconscious. Hand over the wheel for a little bit.
- What are you talking about? Sam asks her.
- Cindy McCellen, r.n. [registered nurse], come on down! And she loses consciousness. What? Where am I? Cindy asks as she regains consciousness. Oh, my God, I can’t move. What’s going on? Help! Help me, please, she asks turning towards Sam and Ruby.
- Great”, she exclaims.

St. Mary’s Convent, Ilchester, Maryland, in 1972.
After murdering all the nuns, the priest kneels down in front of the altar and, joining his hands, he says:
“Father, look…I’m not exactly the praying type, but still…I made the sacrifice. I got you a bagful of nuns. So, uh…Can you hear me? Can you whisper through the door? And then, a draft makes the candle flames flicker.
- I’m here, my son, we hear after something took possession of the body of the nun lying on the altar.
- It’s so good to hear your voice, Padre. I have been searching for you for so long. You have no idea. The others have lost faith. Dickless heathens. But not me.
- You’ve done well.
- So, uh…How do I bust you out?
- Lilith.
- Lilith? Father, she’s…trapped neck-deep in the pit. It won’t be easy.
- Lilith. Lilith can break the seals.
- Yeah, okay. But what do I do?
- You must find me a child. A very special child.
- What do you mean? He asks him after his eyes turned yellow. What child?”

Nowadays.
“You got to be kidding me, Sam exclaims reading an article from the Ilchester Chronicle.
- What? Ruby asks him.
- Get this. St. Mary’s. Abandoned in ‘72 after a priest disemboweled eight nuns.
- What’s black and white and red all over? Ruby jokes.
- That’s not funny. The priest said it wasn’t his fault. He said a demon made him do it and that he even remembered the demon’s name.
- Yeah?
- Azazel.
- Wow! Ruby exclaims coming up to Sam. So, Lilith, Yellow-Eyes…All the A-listers are paying visits. Certainly gives the joint credibility.
- As a place where the final seal goes down.
- Well, it’s good enough for me. Let’s pack up Nurse Betty and hit the road.
- Hey, maybe, um…look.
- What?
- M…maybe we can find another demon, and Ruby has a look at Cindy who’s sleeping.
- Sam, no. That blubbery ‘don’t hurt me’ crap…it’s just an act. She’s playing you.
- I’m not so sure.
- Even if she’s not, there’s still a hell-bitch snoozing in there. I mean, come on. It’s not like you haven’t done this before, right?”

A few minutes later.
“No. Please, don’t, the nurse begs while Sam is dragging her out of the house. Just…just listen to me, okay? My name is Cindy McCellen. I’m a nurse in the NICU over at Enfield Memorial. I have a husband named Matthew, okay? We’ve been married six years. He’s got to be worried sick about me. And I don’t even know who you are. I don’t know who you are and I’m not gonna tell anybody anything. Please, just let me go, but Sam doesn’t soften and he opens the trunk of the car in which a devil’s trap is drawn. No-o-o! No! No! No! No! She yells as Sam forces her to get into the trunk and he shuts it. Please, no! Please…help!”

Meanwhile, in the greenroom. After Dean made a statuette of an angel fall, Castiel appears behind him and says:
“You asked to see me?
- Yeah, listen, I, uh, I…I need something.
- Anything you wish.
- I need you to take me to see Sam.
- Why?
- There’s something I got to talk to him about.
- What’s that?
- The B.M. I took this morning. What’s it to you? Just make it snappy!
- I don’t think that’s wise.
- Well, I didn’t ask you for your opinion.
- Have you forgotten what happened the last time you met?
- No. That’s the whole point. Listen, I’m gonna do whatever you mooks want, okay? I just need to tie up this one thing. Five minutes. That’s all I need.
- No.
- What do you mean, no? Are you saying that I’m trapped here?
- You can go wherever you want.
- Super. I want to go see Sam.
- Except there.
- I want to take a walk.
- Fine. I’ll go with you.
- Alone.
- No.
- You know what? Screw this noise. I’m out of here, Dean says heading for the door.
- Through what door? Castiel asks and Dean stops to turn towards the angel and, when he turns around again, not only there’s no more door but Castiel has also disappeared.
- Damn it.”

That night, while the demon locked in the trunk is yelling and Ruby is at the wheel, Sam sees he has a message from Dean in his voicemail.
“What are you…a 12-year-old girl? Just play it already.
- Mind your own business. God, I wish she would just shut up.
- Well, that can be arranged. I don’t get it. All the demons you cut with the knife…What do you think happens to the host? How is this any different?
- Is that supposed to make me feel better?
- I know that you’re having a tough time here, Sam, but we’re in the final lap here. Now is not the time to grow a persqueeter.
- Would you drop the friggin’ attitude? I’m about to bleed and drink an innocent woman while she watches.
- And save the world as a result.
- I don’t know. I…I just…I’m starting to think…maybe Dean was right.
- About what?
- About everything.
- We’re gonna see this through, right, Sam? She asks him while we hear yelling. Sam?”

Meanwhile, Dean tries to smash one of the walls of the room with an object but after several blows, the wall is intact again.
“Son of a bitch, he says after dropping the object.
- Quit hurling feces like a howler monkey, would you? It’s unbecoming, Zachariah points out to him.
- Let me out of here.
- Like I told you…too dangerous out there. Demons on the prowl.
- I’ve been getting my ass kicked all year. Now you’re sweating my safety? You’re lying. I want to see my brother.
- That’s…ill-advised.
- You know, I am so sick of your crap riddles and your smug, fat face. What the hell is going on, huh? Why can’t I see Sam? And how am I gonna ice Lilith?
- You’re not…going to ice Lilith.
- What?
- Lilith’s going to break the final seal. Fait accompli at this point. Train’s left the station, Zachariah says sitting down.
- But me and Sam, we can stop, Dean answers but Zachariah doesn’t answer and has a half-smile. You don’t want to stop it, do you?
- Nope. Never did. The end is nigh. The apocalypse is coming, kiddo, to a theater near you.
- What was all that crap about saving seals?
- Our grunts on the ground, we couldn’t just tell them the whole truth. We’d have a full-scale rebellion on our hands, he explains to Dean who can’t believe what he’s hearing. I mean, think about it…Would we really let 65 seals get broken unless senior management wanted it that way?
- But why?
- Why not? The apocalypse. Poor name, bad marketing…Puts people off. When all it is is Ali/Foreman…on a...slightly larger scale. And we like our chances. When our side wins, Zachariah says while Dean is looking at the images of massacre pictured on the paintings, and we will…It’s Paradise on Earth. Now, what’s not to like about that?
- What happens to all the people during your little pissing contest?
- Well…You can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs, Zachariah answers getting up again. In this case…truckloads of eggs, but you get the picture. Look…it happens, he adds coming up to Dean. This isn’t the first planetary enema we’ve delivered, and then Dean has a look at a bronze statuette. Uh, no, Dean. Probably shouldn’t try to bash my skull in with that thing. Wouldn’t end up too pleasant for you.
- What about Sam? He won’t go quietly. He’ll stop Lilith.
- Sam…has a part to play. A very important part. He may need a little nudging in the right direction, but I’ll make sure he plays it.
- What does that mean? What are you gonna do to him?
- Sam, Sam, Sam. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. Forget about him, would you? You have larger concerns. Why do you think I’m confiding in you? You’re still vital, Dean. We weren’t lying about your destiny. Just…omitted a few pertinent details. But nothing’s changed. You are chosen. You will stop it. Just…not Lilith or the apocalypse. That’s all.
- Which means?
- Lucifer, Zachariah answers showing a painting. You’re going to stop Lucifer. You’re our own little Russell Crowe, complete with surly attitude. And when it’s over…And when you’ve won…Your rewards will be…unimaginable. Peace, happiness…2 virgins and 70 sluts, he adds tapping him on the back. Trust me. One day, we’ll look back on this and laugh, Zachariah says walking away.
- Tell me something, Dean says and the angel stops. Where’s God in all this?
- God? God has left the building”, Zachariah replies before disappearing.

At St. Mary’s Convent, a flashlight in his hand, the security guard is on watch when, suddenly, he hears a woman’s voice.
“Howdy, Lilith says and he turns towards her.
- Lady, this is private property, he answers after switching off his flashlight. You’re not supposed to be here.
- But I’m here for mass. And so are you”, she adds smiling while some demons set about the guard and Lilith’s eyes turn white.

Meanwhile, Dean tries unsuccessfully to call his brother but Castiel appears behind him and says:
“You can’t reach him, Dean. You’re outside your coverage zone.
- What are you gonna do to Sam?
- Nothing. He’s gonna do it to himself.
- What’s that supposed to mean? Oh, right, right. Got to toe the company line. Why are you here, Cass?
- We’ve been through much together, you and I, and I just wanted to say, I’m sorry it ended like this.
- “Sorry”? He repeats before punching him but all he gains from it is to hurt his hand. It’s Armageddon, Cass. You need a bigger word than “sorry”.
- Try to understand. This is long foretold. This is your…
- Destiny? Don’t give me that holy crap. Destiny, God’s plan…It’s all a bunch of lies, you poor, stupid son of a bitch! It’s just a way for your bosses to keep me and keep you in line! You know what’s real? People, families…that’s real. And you’re gonna watch them all burn?
- What is so worth saving? I see nothing but pain here. I see inside you. I see your guilt, your anger, your confusion. In Paradise, all is forgiven. You’ll be at peace. Even with Sam.
- You can take your peace…and shove it up your lily-white ass. ‘Cause I’ll take the pain and the guilt. I’ll even take Sam as he is. It’s a lot better than being some Stepford bitch [Reference to the movie The Stepford Wives] in Paradise. This is simple, Cass! No more crap about being a good soldier. There is a right and there is a wrong here, and you know it. Look at me! He says forcing Castiel to turn around. You know it! You were gonna help me once, weren’t you? You were gonna warn me about all this, before they dragged you back to Bible camp. Help me…now. Please.
- What would you have me do?
- Get me to Sam. We can stop this before it’s too late.
- I do that, we will all be hunted. We’ll all be killed.
- If there is anything worth dying for, Dean answers but Castiel shakes his head in silence. This is it. You spineless, soulless son of a bitch. What do you care about dying? You’re already dead. We’re done.
- Dean…
- We’re done”, he repeats and when he turns around, Castiel has disappeared.

Sam and Ruby are 2 miles away from St. Mary’s Convent.
“Sam, it’s time, says Ruby who’s leaning against the car. Are we doing this or not? She asks Sam who’s a few meters away.
- Give me a minute to think.
- Sam!
- Give me a damn minute, Ruby!
- Better think fast.”

Then, Sam takes out his cell phone and listens to the message left by his brother:
“Listen to me, you bloodsucking freak. Dad always said I’d either have to save you or kill you. Well, I’m giving you fair warning. I’m done trying to save you. You’re a monster, Sam…a vampire. You’re not you anymore. And there’s no going back.”
At the sight of Ruby’s smile, we can well imagine she’s the one who changed the message. Anyway, it has the effect anticipated because, after hanging up, Sam tells her: “Do it”. She heads for the trunk and we hear Cindy’s howls.

In the greenroom.
While Dean is about to eat a hamburger, Castiel suddenly appears behind him, pins him against the wall and puts a hand on his mouth so that he remains silent. He pulls out Ruby’s knife and Dean nods. Then, Castiel cuts his own arm and with his blood, he draws symbols on the wall.

“Castiel! Zachariah exclaims appearing. Would you mind explaining just what the hell you’re doing? He asks coming up to the angel but Castiel places his hand in the middle of the symbol and Zachariah disappears in an intense light.
- He won’t be gone long. We have to find Sam now.
- Where is he? Dean wants to know.
- I don’t know. But I know who does, Castiel answers giving him the knife. We have to stop him, Dean, from killing Lilith.
- But Lilith’s gonna break the final seal.
- Lilith is the final seal. She dies, the end begins.”

Meanwhile, at Chuck’s.
While the first page of the script of Lucifer Rising is displayed on the screen of the computer, the writer is talking on the phone:
“Oh, yeah, really? At the same time? Really? Wow. That sounds…moist.
- Well, it can be, a woman’s voice answers.
- Uh, what are your rates?
- We can get you one girl, one hour, $1,000.
- Okay. Then, uh, I’ll take 20 girls for the whole night.
- Um, sir, I’m not sure you can afford that.
- Lady, sometimes you got to live like there’s no tomorrow, and when he turns around, he sees Castiel and Dean. Wait. This…this…this isn’t supposed to happen.
- Sir? The woman on the phone asks.
- No, lady, this is definitely supposed to happen, but I just got to call you back, and Chuck hangs up. I…”

Meanwhile, at St. Mary’s.
While Lilith is in front of the altar, a demon brings her a cup filled with blood. “Don’t be afraid, she tells him seeing concern on his face. We’re going to save the world”, she adds before placing the cup on the altar. But when she turns around, all the demons have disappeared and Sam and Ruby appear at the other end of the hallway. Then, Lilith uses her power to close the chapel door.

At Chuck’s.
“St. Mary’s? What is it, a convent? Dean asks.
- Yeah, but you guys aren’t supposed to be there. You’re not in this story.
- Yeah, well…We’re making it up as we go, Castiel replies.
- What? Aw, man! Chuck exclaims after the apparition of an intense light, a piercing sound and strong tremors just like the archangel had come to his place. Not again!
- It’s the archangel! I’ll hold him off! I’ll hold them all off! Just stop Sam!” Castiel orders placing his hand on Dean’s forehead and the young man finds himself in one of the hallways of St. Mary’s Convent.

Meanwhile, Sam uses his power to open the chapel door and he pins Lilith against the altar. Turning around, Ruby sees Dean appear at the end of the hallway and she closes the door of the chapel by telekinesis.
“I’ve been waiting for this…for a very long time, Sam tells Lilith while we hear heart beating.
- Then give me your best shot, she replies and Sam starts using his power.
- Sam! Sam! Sam! He hears his brother shout after a few seconds and he stops. Sam! Dean repeats hammering on the chapel door.
- Dean?
- What are you waiting for?! Now! Ruby shouts.
- Sam!
- Sam, now! Ruby repeats and the young man seems lost until he hears Lilith laughing.
- You turned yourself into a freak, she tells him. A monster. And now you’re not gonna bite? I’m sorry, but that is honestly adorable”, and while the heart beating speeds up, Sam’s eyes turn black and he kills her.

While Lilith’s blood spreads on the floor, Sam exclaims:
“What the hell?
- I can’t believe it.
- Ruby, what’s going on?
- You did it. I mean, it was a little touch-and-go there for a while, but…you did it.
- What? What…what did I do?
- You opened the door. And now he’s free at last. He’s free at last, she repeats smiling.
- No, no, no. No, he…Lilith…I stopped her. I killed her!
- And it is written that the first demon shall be the last seal. And you bust her open. Now guess who’s coming to dinner.
- Oh, my God.
- Guess again, she replies while the blood now forms some kind of circle with lines heading for its center. You don’t even know how hard this was, Ruby says while Dean is trying to break down the chapel door. All the demons out for my head. No one knew. I was the best of those sons of bitches! The most loyal! Not even Alastair knew! Only Lilith! Yeah, I’m sure you’re a little angry right now, but, I mean, come on, Sam! Even you have to admit…I’m…I’m awesome!
- You bitch. You lying bitch! Sam exclaims and he tries to use his power against Ruby but he’s no longer strong enough and he falls on his knees.
- Don’t hurt yourself, Sammy. It’s useless. You shot your payload on the boss.
- The blood…You poisoned me.
- No. It wasn’t the blood. It was you…and your choices, she says coming up to him. I just gave you the options, and you chose the right path every time. You didn’t need the feather to fly. You had it in you the whole time, Dumbo. I know it’s hard to see it now, she says kneeling down in front of him, but this is a miracle so long coming. Everything Azazel did and Lilith did just to get you here. And you were the only one who could do it, she adds placing her hand on his cheek.
- Why? W…why me? Sam asks tears in his eyes.
- Because…because it had to be you, Sammy, she answers stroking his hair. It always had to be you. You saved us. You set him free. And he’s gonna be grateful, she says while the traces of blood have almost finished converging on the center of the circle. He’s gonna repay you in ways that you can’t even imagine”, she adds before hearing the door yield.

Dean enters the chapel and, pulling out his knife, he heads for the demon. Ruby lets go of Sam and gets up to face him.
“You’re too late.
- I don’t care, Dean replies and while he’s coming up to Ruby, Sam holds her so that his brother can stab her.
- I’m sorry”, Sam says after letting go of the lifeless body.

Suddenly, an intense light pierces from the center of the circle.
“Sammy, let’s go.
- Dean…He’s coming.”
