Cas’ eyes flashed open and his chest went up and down. He was tied onto a chair and he felt a sharp pain in both his hands. He looked down at his shirt, which was soaked in blood. He moved his arms and the pain in his hands became worse. He looked over his shoulder and saw how an angel sword pinched his hands together. He heard footsteps and tried to free himself.
“You’re awake” Zoey said breathless. She was carrying a plate with food. “Good”
“You killed all those people” Cas said trembling. “Why?”
Zoey sighed. “Do we have to talk about that?” She lifted the plate. “Look, I made you dinner”
“I don’t eat” Cas said short.
“Yeah, I heard about that” Zoey nodded.
“Why did you kill those people? And why did you make that DVD about me and Alex?” Cas insisted to know.
Zoey sighed again. “All right, then, if you must know” She put the plate on the ground. “When I saw you for the first time, through my field glass, I felt something new. Something I haven’t felt with Gerard for a very long time. But when Daphne saw you she ruined my chances. You believe you owe her, because you think she saved you. But she didn’t. I did. I saw you first”
“Why didn’t you just say something?” Cas asked.
“I did. On the first night you were in Daphne’s house, but you didn’t listen” Zoey said desperate.
“I’m sorry” Cas said weak.
“I forgive you” Zoey smiled and she caressed his cheek. Cas shivered. “You have no idea how hard it was to see the two of you together. That’s why I was such a bitch in the beginning. All I really wanted was to tell you how much I love you”
“If you love me you wouldn’t try to kill me” Cas said difficult.
“What? No, I would never do that” Zoey said upset. “I just had to get you here, so we can have some privacy. Crowley wants me to kill you, but there’s no way I’m doing that”
“You’re really stupid if you think you’ll get away with this. Crowley will find you and kill you” Cas said demeaning.
“You don’t have to be mean” Zoey said a little hurt. “I even made the holy circle as big as possible, so you’d have the entire building”
Cas looked around him. So that’s where the light came from. He looked at the walls. “I see you made some decorations” he noted.
“We can’t have any of your angel buddies showing up, can we?” Zoey said. She clapped her hands. “Okay, why did I kill those people. Jack was being too nosy and I know that’s my fault, so I had to fix it. I didn’t plan to kill Carrie, but she was there and I couldn’t take any chances. Shannen said she slept with you and I know she lied. It was so disrespectful of her towards you. I had to punish her. That waitress made out with you. You’re mine, I couldn’t let her get away with that. And those people in the police station wouldn’t let me see Meg. And I had to see Meg, because I had to give her Daphne’s book, so she could figure things out. I know she’s stuck. Oh, and Gerard was too jealous for words. You have no idea”
“And the DVD?” Cas asked.
“Oh, right, Crowley made that with a few of his demon tricks” Zoey said. “The point is that Daphne turned you in and I wanted you to turn against Daphne completely”
“You’re awake” Zoey said breathless. She was carrying a plate with food. “Good”
“You killed all those people” Cas said trembling. “Why?”
Zoey sighed. “Do we have to talk about that?” She lifted the plate. “Look, I made you dinner”

Meg sat on her knees, outside the police station. With her right hand she held her stomach and with her left she tried to pull herself up on the wall. She closed her eyes and focused.
“Meg!”
Meg opened her eyes and saw Sam walking in her direction. He helped her up, while Dean frowned.
“How did you get out?” he wanted to know.
Sam helped Meg to the couch, but she refused to lie down. She groaned from the pain.
“What is wrong with you?” Dean asked.
“Daphne attacked me” Meg said difficult. “My stomach hurts, my hands hurt”
“Cas’ ex attacked you, why?” Sam asked surprised.
“It’s not her fault” Meg said. “Zoey manipulated her. Where’s Cas?”
Sam looked at Dean, who scratched his head.
“Please, tell me you know where he is” Meg said weak.
“Meg!”
Meg opened her eyes and saw Sam walking in her direction. He helped her up, while Dean frowned.

“Daphne? It’s time to let me go” Martin said soft.
Daphne lifted her head and stared at him with wet and bloodshot eyes. “How? I can’t”
“It’s time for me to move on” Martin said. “I’ve been wandering around for too long. I’m done here. If I stay much longer, I could turn into a vengeful spirit”
Daphne shook her head. “I don’t believe that”
“You didn’t believe I would show up in the first place, either” Martin pointed out.
Daphne pulled her shoulders. “How do I let you go? Aren’t you supposed to walk into the light or something?”
Martin laughed. “Not exactly. You have to salt and burn my bones”
“So I need to go to the cemetery?” Daphne asked.
“No. That grave is empty” Martin said bitter.
“Then where are your bones?” Daphne asked nervous.
“You’re standing on them” Martin answered.
Daphne lifted her head and stared at him with wet and bloodshot eyes. “How? I can’t”
“It’s time for me to move on” Martin said. “I’ve been wandering around for too long. I’m done here. If I stay much longer, I could turn into a vengeful spirit”

“Gerard committed suicide last night” Zoey said. “I found him hanging in our bedroom”
Daphne covered her mouth. “Oh my God, that’s…awful” she said
Daphne threw her arms around Zoey and Zoey faked a few tears and sobs. She pushed Daphne away and said she had to tell Alexia. She put her purse on the dresser, knowing Daphne would see the letter and be too curious to leave it where it is.
And indeed, a minute later, Daphne stormed outside, hysterically crying how everything was her fault.
Zoey walked back inside, trusting Daphne would need some time to calm down. She opened Daphne’s computer and connected a portable hard drive to it. The hard drive contained a fake video of Cas doing things with Alexia.
Zoey copied the video to Daphne’s files and then removed the hard drive. She closed the computer and called Alexia.
“Let’s go, Lex” she said. “We’re going to your grandparents”
