A quick leap forward in time finds Mildly Amnesiac Sam splashing some water on his face in the grubby bathroom while the barmaid quizzes him on the details of his latest bad acid flashback. Mildly Amnesiac Sam quickly recalls Bobby's name and flips through a handy address book to find The Emporium's location. The barmaid decides to bail after first escorting Mildly Amnesiac Sam down to his car, but once she gets an eyeful of the magnificent Impala, she changes her mind and demands to accompany him to the lush coastal rainforests of southeastern South Dakota.

"You sure you don't want a cocktail?!" I'll fall asleep, dude. "Your loss! [Slurp!]" I hate you, Raoul. "Hee!"
Panic Room. Aftermath. The Rolling Stones' "Play With Fire" strums softly in the background as Bobby joins Dean, and during the increasingly loud conversation that follows, it becomes clear that Castiel ripped apart that wall Capital-D Death had erected to separate Sam's mind from his soul, or whatever. Thus, you know, Real Sam's catatonia at the moment. Dean orders Bobby to find My Devious Baboo, now, and with that, we plunge back down into The Ginormotron's freakish Cro-Magnon skull to find...
