Anyway, where the hell was I? Oh, yeah: So, that ridiculous conversation happens, and then the next thing we know, it's the following morning, and Dashing El Deano is sliding this week's crapped-out piece of automotive trash into a parking space somewhere semi-urban so he might load up on provisions in a nearby convenience store. After instructing My Amnesiac Baboo to remain in the car, Dashing El Deano enters the store all by his lonesome, only to find himself immediately set upon by a trio of demonically-enhanced mooks. Fisticuffs ensue, with Dean quickly taking out the first of the demonically-enhanced mooks with The Knife before the second demonically-enhanced mook bitchslaps The Knife right out of Our Intrepid Hero's hands. D'OH! The third demonically-enhanced mook then advances upon him until a certain mysterious someone retrieves The Knife from the floor to plunge it into the third demonically-enhanced mook's back, at which point the second demonically-enhanced mook drops to his knees, unhinges his temporary host's lower jaw, and unleashes a torrent of bitterly black demonic foulness up towards the convenience store's ceiling. And with that final adversary now roiling its merry way out a nearby window, and with the convenience store's floor now littered with corpses and shattered glass, both Dean and the camera direct their attention towards the certain mysterious someone and...it's Meg! You know, Short-Lip Meg? Meg Masters? Meg who killed Jo Harvelle? Meg who macked on My Sweet Baboo for some bizarre reason way back during season...oh, whenever the hell it was. Yeah, her. "Dean, Dean, Dean," Meg smirks, "you got some 'splaining to do!" Dashing El Deano looks her up and down for one very long moment before we all get booted into this evening's next commercial break most woefully CHOMP!-less.

Convenience store. Aftermath. Dean crosses to lock the store's front door so he and Meg might chit-chat in private -- OF COURSE, AGAIN, SOME MORE, AND AUUUAAUUAUAAAAUUUGH, AND ANEURYSM! -- and by the time I recover from my rage-induced stroke, Dean and Meg have brought each other up to speed on recent events. Long story short, Crowley's basically caught wind of Castiel's continuing presence on Earth, and as he and Meg are still not on speaking terms -- thanks, you'll recall, to that time she helped kill him, except for the part where they totally didn't kill him at all, and are you getting as sick of these fake deaths as I am? -- and as Meg's current "'Army Of One' situation is not cutting it," she's there to make a deal: If Dean grants her access to My Amnesiac Baboo, she'll fend off any future demon attacks. No, she never explains why she wants access to My Amnesiac Baboo, despite all their endless blathering in this scene, and no, it's never made clear how she'll be able to fend off any future demon attacks on her own, but there you go. Dean agrees, mainly because the resumption of demonic hostilities has clearly unnerved him, and with that, the two provisional allies head back out to...
