Daphne and Dean were standing in the woods.
“There. That’s where it happened” Daphne pointed at the lake. “I’m sorry, I’m not going any closer”
“I think we should” Dean said insensitive. He grabbed Daphne’s arm again and pulled her to the lake. “Now, tell me what happened”
“He drowned, that’s what happened!” Daphne yelled. “I was supposed to look after him, but I failed”
“That’s the story Zoey told you” Dean said. “Is there someone else who could tell you what happened?”
“No, of course not” Daphne said irritated. “Unless you count Martin, but he’s-”
“-dead?” Dean said. “Why would that change anything?”
“What are you talking about?” Daphne asked confused.
“Who’s to say your brother hasn’t been with you all this time. Maybe you were too upset to see the signs. Why don’t you try and call him? If he’s here he’ll let you know” Dean said.
“You want me to call my dead brother? That’s ridiculous” Daphne said. Dean cast her an angry glance. “Okay, fine” she gave in. She took a deep breath. “Martin? Are you here somewhere?”
An ice cold wind swirled around Daphne and she got goose bumps.
“Hello, Daphne”
Daphne gasped and covered her mouth. Martin was standing in front of her.
“Is it really you?” Daphne asked emotional.
Martin nodded.
“How come you’re…” Daphne wanted to ask, but didn’t know how.
“Normal?” Martin helped. “Dying changed a few things. But I’m still good looking”
Daphne laughed and Dean coughed.
“We need to ask you something” he said.
“I know what your question is” Martin said. “It wasn’t an accident. Zoey drugged Daphne and her husband and she pulled me into the lake and drowned me”
Daphne shook her head in disbelief. “No” she said.
“I’m so sorry, Daphne” Martin said sad. “I wanted to tell you sooner, but I’m stuck to this place and you never come here”
Daphne took a few deep breaths and swallowed. She turned to Dean and blinked to fight the upcoming tears. “There’s an old, empty building, here in Castle Rock. Zoey and I used to go there when we were teenagers”
She gave him the address.
“Go find Cas” she said.
“You don’t want me to take you home first?” Dean asked doubtful.
“I know my way” Daphne said. “Go, I need some time with my brother”
And thus Dean called Anna to give him a ride.
“There. That’s where it happened” Daphne pointed at the lake. “I’m sorry, I’m not going any closer”
“I think we should” Dean said insensitive. He grabbed Daphne’s arm again and pulled her to the lake. “Now, tell me what happened”

The jury had made a decision and woman walked to the judge and gave him a piece of paper.
“To the question if Castiel abused Alexia Moore the jury finds him not guilty” the judge said.
“Yes!” Dean triumphed. He jumped up and walked quickly towards Cas.
Zoey took Alexia by the hand and walked down the aisle.
“Zoey, wait!” Daphne shouted desperate.
Zoey turned around.”Do you have any idea what you put me through? What you put Alex through? After everything I’ve done for you. Gerard killed himself, because of you! How many lives do you have to destroy, before you realize you’re the one who needs to be put away in a cell?”
Daphne grabbed Zoey’s arm. “Please, listen to me. I never meant to hurt you or Alex. I thought I was helping. Tell me how I can make it up”
Zoey jerked her arm. “Stay away from me and Alex. And if you even care a little about Cas, you stay away from him, too”
She turned around and walked away.

“It was me” Meg said. Sam had freed her from her prison and now she was going to free Cas of his. She had to promise Sam she wouldn’t try to get out until they were far gone. Because as soon as soon Cas was out they were going to hit the road an drive as far away as possible.
“I killed Jack and I killed Paul Morgan. Cas has nothing to do with it. I was trying to protect him. Jack was asking too many questions and Paul knew too much already. There were people trying to hurt Cas and I tried to give him a low profile. But it didn’t really work out. I don’t want a lawyer. I don’t want a trial. Just give me the maximum penalty and I’ll accept it”
Isabel stared at her, a little puzzled, but also thrilled. She got Jack and Paul’s killer. Now no one would question her competence as an inspector again. She cuffed Meg’s hands and brought her to a cell.

Dean was outside, leaning against the cabin, when Jo came standing next to him.
“You look happy” she said sarcastic.
“It sounds weird, but right now I wish Dick Roman was still alive” Dean said. “I have too much time to think”
“You want me to call mom? I think she knows a few ways to fix that” Jo commented.
“Where is she?” Dean asked.
“To the city, doing groceries” Jo answered. She looked up. “Did you hear from Cas? I mean, that’s why you’re so neurotic, right?”
Dean shook his head. “I don’t want to talk about it. He’s had his chance, he blew it. I’m done with him”
“Have you tried talking to him?” Jo asked.
Dean leaned forward and kissed her. “No talking about Cas” he said.
“Okay” Jo agreed. She threw her arms around Dean’s neck and kissed him back. Dean lifted her in his arms and carried her inside the cabin.
