Astral Dean and Tessa rematerialize out on the sidewalk, but Astral Sam's nowhere to be seen...
...because Astral Sam's getting yanked back into his body just as Alastair's minion guts Show Barnes like a fish with this enormous hunting knife. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!?" Raoul shrieks, hopeful yet again, and Raoul, they're not going to show that sort of stuff until the Reapers start working again, so please -- as a favor to yourself -- don't wonder about it until I say so, okay? "[Sob!]" Oh, please don't weep into your flagon like that. This episode's depressing enough as it is. "[Blubber!]" Fine. Have it your way. "Thanks! I will! [Wail!]" Christ on a stick.
So, Darling Sammy snaps awake, but it's too late, for the minion's already shredded Show Barnes's stomach, so Sam telekinetically flings the minion against the wall and deploys his Mighty Hand Of Ipecac, which soon enough sends the demon howling and wailing and blazing its merry way back down to Hell. Or, you know, The Waste Land. Whichever one they've decided to use now that this show's turned into Charmed. Once the demon's gone, Sam insists Show Barnes see a doctor, but she waves him off to fetch her a cocktail instead. Um. Atta girl? I guess? I mean, South Big Horn County Hospital's only an eight-minute drive away from that motel, Show Barnes, and I'm sure the doctors there can... no? You just want a cocktail? Okay, then. Whatever you want.
Dumbass. TWoP Barnes would've gone to the fucking hospital.
Somewhere else, Astral Dean's bow-leggedly clompy-stomping through a rail yard (I think) in search of his astral brother (I'm pretty sure) when Fake Brando (I'm positive) hops out from his hiding place to slither and sneer and SHUT UP AND DROP DEAD, FAKE BRANDO, and oh, wow. The instant I typed that, this lightning bolt came from out of nowhere and fried Fake Brando's ass to cinders. Hooray! "You should use your newfound powers for good!" I agree, Raoul. How's this? GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE! "Anything?!" I'll try again. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE! "Well!?" Um. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE! It's not working. "Rats!"
