Bobby's Emporium. Dean's outside at a workbench, evidently practicing Death's instructions regarding the four Horsemen rings. He has them arranged in a Y shape, and when he slides one towards the center, all four snap together as if magnetized. The gentleman of The Emporium delicately announces his arrival by knocking aside a bit of automotive debris with his now fully functioning legs, and Dean looks up from the rings to smirk, "How'd it go with the Rockettes audition?" "High kicks fair," Bobby shoots back, "boobs need work." Bobby passes Dean a beer, Dean shows Bobby his neato ring trick, and then the two settle in for an end-of-episode chat that covers Dean's promise to the final Horseman and Sam's abysmally stupid plan to end The Apocalypse. Dean thinks Death might be lying about that whole indentured-servitude-to-the-spoiled-brat thing, but Bobby's inclined to take The Grim Reaper at the latter's word. There's some chatter about Sam's heroics at the Niveus warehouse, and then mention is made of the "darkness" supposedly lurking deep within The Ginormomope before Bobby expresses his belief that Sam will either succeed in defeating Lucifer or die trying. "So, I gotta ask, Dean," he finishes, laying it all on the line, "what exactly are you afraid of: Losing, or losing your brother?" The Ducky Lips do not answer.
