Elena! Where the frak - are you in the city. Are you dead. Don't be dead.

Dean! What did you do with Elena's pants?

Nothing like seeing a real live planet...

I'm awake, if anyone was worried.

Anyone want to go run a few miles?

What about a glitter banner.

Maybe with neon lights.

And an airhorn.

I'll put in the request for the text and sees what happens.

Okay, but seriously, she was killing people.

D'you have any clue how to deal with vampires?

private

The file had a little primer on powers.

And honestly, Dean, she's not just... a vampire. There's a lot going on there. I think she's hurting so much that she thinks she's better off feeling nothing, and it seems to me that she has to hit the bottom of that spiral herself before she comes climbing out.

I'll try to limit the damage to people on the Barge next time. At least they can come back.

Yeah, that's great, but here's the thing: maybe those guys were assholes, maybe they weren't, we'll never know. It's awesome that she needs to get in touch with her inner Pickle or whatever, but it's not awesome that other people are paying the price for that.

We don't get to decide who deserves what. Neither does she.

And if I'd been awake, I wouldn't have let her off the Barge.

But I wasn't awake, and I can't change what happened, and I can't make her feel guilty about it. But my bet is she'll feel it eventually. Sooner or later.

[Dean is never, ever going to like it, and no one can make him.]

Did you find out who it was that let her off? That blood is on their hands.

private

[landfall]

I don't know. And how would they know how dangerous it would be?

private

[surfaceshine]

It doesn't matter. You can't just go taking responsibility for people and then dropping the goddamn ball.

Not you, you. Them you. Whoever.

private

[landfall]

Maybe no one thought to stop her.
