Ep 11
County Cork, Ireland. Record on the turntable. The baby loves this song. Only thing that'll put her to sleep. Besides, it's our song. Baby cries. He hears screams. He's in pain. His eyes bleed. He beats his head on the wall over and over. Banshee licks his blood. The woman banishes it finally. Baby cries as her mother collapses.
Sam dreaming about Lucifer's words. He wakes and gets dressed. Dean asks how long you been up? Don't know. You haven't left the bunker in days. Sam says he's fine. Dean says I found a case. Sam's cleaning weapons. Dean says it's 15 minutes from here. Sam says what about Cas? We haven't heard from him. Dean says he'll be fine, he always is.
LuciCas sits on a bench in a park. Then takes the nature walk. A man follows him. Luci whistles as he walks. Stops at a big tall tree. Angel sees him. Luci says it's beautiful out here. Angel wants to stab him. Lucifer says I'm your only hope at beating the Darkness. You don't need to be afraid, Brother. I'm here to save you all. Angel goes after him again and Lucifer makes him explode. You rank and file have no vision.
Impala stops at a senior center. Oak Park Retirement Living. Talk to the manager. Harold yelled Get it out of my head. I found him on his back. His skull.....there was a lot of blood. No one was in or out of his room all night. Dean meets Mildred. Manager stays at the home. His wife left him. With text emojis. I wish she'd call me back. Dean asks if he's noticed strange smells, sounds, cold spots? No. Harold have enemies? Actually, quite a few.
Sam in the dead man's room. Finds stolen Viagra. Dean says that's a real dick move. LOL. Dean has files on everyone that's passed here. Jake filed a complaint against Harold for stealing.
They dig up Jake Townsend to salt and burn. Dean asks Sam if he's okay? Sam says no, not at all. Being so close to Lucifer again brought stuff up. Dean asks if he wants to talk about it. Sam says no. Dean says case closed. Sam opens the coffin. Sam says just burn the bones so we can go home.
Oak Park. Mildred and Arthur. Arthur hears screaming. Lights flicker. He sees the banshee thing. She doesn't. He screams to get it out of his head. Beats his head on a window. Falls out of it. Banshee goes after him. Feeds. Mildred sees it. Screams.
Dean and Sam interview Mildred. She says you won't believe me. No one does. Sam asks what did she see? Mildred describes the banshee. Sam approaches a maid. Marlene. She wasn't working the nights of the deaths. She's deaf. Sam and Dean reconvene.
Deaf woman reads their lips.
Sam says part of Harold's frontal lobe was. Dean says banshees. Only people that can hear them scream are the victims. Prey on the vulnerable. They hunt at the same place until it's picked clean. We need a gold blade. Dean goes back to the bunker to get a couple. You stay and figure out who's next.
Dean hears noises in the bunker. Draws his gun. More crashes. It's Casifer. Hello, Dean. I'm sorry. Dean asks what he was doing? Cas says looking for a spell to draw Amara out. I had her in my sights and should've ended it. Dean says I've had 2 shots at Amara and struck out both times. Cas asks him to tell everything.
Sam visits Mildred in her room. She offers tea. He says we're not FBI. We hunt monsters. She says I knew it! You're too cute to be FBI agents. He shows her the banshee text. He says they prey on the vulnerable. You have Afib, which can be treated with meds... She asks if she's next. He says you're safe right now. Rest while you can. We'll be back. And do you know Marlene? She's deaf? She says Marlene is on vacation. My granddaughter is deaf, so if there's a staff member that's deaf, I'd love to talk to them.
Sam looks for "Marlene". She rounds a corner. Sam goes in the laundry room and shuts the door. Turns on the light. She does a spell and sticks him to the wall. UH OH.
**A banshee walking around as a deaf human is a nice touch.
She has a gold dagger! Thinks they're banshees. He says no, we're hunters! I swear. Test me, please. She cuts him. Then frees him. Thanks. My name is Sam Winchester. She says the banshee killed my parents. She was the Irish baby. A hunter found me in my crib, ears bleeding. Lilian trained her. Died from cancer. On her own since her teens. Her mom was part of a secret org. Men of Letters? Yeah. We're like you. Legacies.
Dean and Casifer. Dean says the connection to Amara scares him. I don't know if I can resist it. Cas says it may help draw her out. Could be a good thing. Sam calls and tells him to look up a name.
Dean goes to the files. Edward Durbin the 2nd. Her mom banished the banshee. We'll use the same Celtic spell Aileen used to trap me. Dean doesn't like using Mildred for bait. Dean always like Blanche on Golden Girls. Sam like Sofia. Dean is on his way. Asks Cas to keep this quiet. Cas agrees and says next time you face Amara, you won't be alone.
Sam paints the symbols. Aileen says not bad. Now we wait. Sam asks if she's okay? She says if this is the banshee I've been looking for.... Sam says revenge isn't all it's cracked up to be. She never met her parents, but they're family. My Family. Sam says then what? She says no idea. My mother was a lawyer. Sam says I was studying law at Stanford when my brother came to get me. I wouldn't do this without him. Dean arrives. Introductions. Dean hands Sam a blade. Where's Mildred? She walks in. Grabs Dean to show him something. Sit. I won't bite. West-facing room to see the sunset. She says it's almost as gorgeous as you are. Heh. She asks when is the last time he watched a sunset without waiting for something to go bump in the night. She asks if this all works? He says yep. Everything will be fine. He asks what she did before retiring. She was in a Patsy Cline tribute band. I had my fun. She says follow your heart. Do that, and all the rest figures itself out. I traveled the world, made people smile, and then my heart said you're done. I had my fill and I retired and i love it. Dean promises she'll live through this. Her hand on his knee. He gets up. Dean hears the screams. Sam! Dean collapses. Eyes bleeding. Sees the banshee.
Banshee disappears. Then is behind Aileen. Tosses her. Sam cuts it. Gets tossed. Deans beats his head on the wall. Mildred locks the banshee on the wall. Aileen stabs it. Mildred and Sam rush to Dean. Sam thanks Aileen.
Morning. Sam asks Aileen how she feels. Like it was another kill. What now? She says this is my life. Sam tells her to call any time.
Dean and Mildred. She's still flirting. You're pining for someone else. Follow your heart, remember? Dean says I'm single and ready to mingle. LOL. You boys stay out of trouble. Mildred signs that the boys look even cuter walking away. LOL!
Hmmmm, ten minutes left.
Sam tosses Dean a can. Cas is gone. Something a little off about him. Sam says there always is. You were right, by the way. Getting back on the job helped. When I was with Lucifer, he showed me things. A highlight reel of my biggest failures. I should've looked for you when you were in Purgatory. I stopped, and I've never forgiven myself for it. Dean says I have. What matters is that we're together, so shut up and drink your beer. Can you sleep tonight? Yeah. Dean has some ringing in his head, but nothing good music can't help. Sam asks why the banshee went after Dean? Dean lies.
Sam puts an Oak Park brochure in his keepsake box.
Dean lays down in bed. Hey, music!!
Sam gets in bed. Turns out the light.
Dean can't sleep. He sits up. Amara's getting to him.
Next week - Claire. Sheriff Mills.
