THE PETERSON'S HOUSE

Gail opens the door to the basement and walks downstairs, Magda stops singing and sits up.

"What did you do?" Gail Asks

"Nothing. Nothing." Magda Says

"Liar that woman..that boy, you killed them." Gail Says

"What? No." Magda Says, then Gail slaps her across the face.

"I have tried to keep the Devil locked away, and you let him out. You couldn't let it rest. And now...now the Devil is doing his work through you. Confess your sins." She hands a whip to Magda, which she takes "Pray for forgiveness." Gail Says

Magda untied the back of her dress, revealing the horrific scars from her previous flayings.

"Prok yaw-thi a-law-haw a-rum mayyaw mto 'ad naf-Shaw." She performs self-flagellation. "Tma-'ith bama-'a-ma-ke syawn w-leth a-Thar lma'kum." Magda Says, she whips herself again.

PETERSON'S HOUSE

Outside the house Elijah moved towards the basement windows and looks inside, he sees Magda whipping herself again and crying out in pain.

"Ishthal-hith bmik-ri." Magda Says

Inside the barn Sam steps inside holding up an EMF meter, he hears a door creek and hides as Abraham and Elijah enters.

"Elijah? What's wrong?" Abraham Asks

"Mom's with Magda." Elijah Says

"Your mother's doing God's work. She's hurting her. Son, the Devil's a deceiver. Don't let him sow doubt in you." Abraham Says

A horse whinnies in the background and Sam is shown hiding in the stall, eavesdropping on their conversation.

"If anyone found out about Magda, they'd come for her." He grabs a feed bucket and hangs it in the stall.
"And if that happened...I love your sister...but you know what she can do. Magda...Magda's our cross to bear." Abraham Says

Elijah nods as his father pats him on the shoulder, Abraham and Elijah leave the barn. Sam leaves the stall and he takes his phone out his pocket and waves it around but there's no signal.

"Come on." Sam Says

CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES BUILDING

Beth is sitting at her desk the candle is still lit on her desk.

"Working late?" Dean Says

Beth looks up to see Dean and Elena standing in the door way, he's hiding a gun behind him.

"Oh. Sorry, Agents, you both surprised me." Beth Says

"No worries." Elena Says

"Can I help you both?" Beth Asks

Dean and Elena exchanged looks then walked further into the office.

"So how you liking the new gig?" Dean Asks

"I hate it." Beth Says

"What?" Elena Says

"Yeah. You make more, but you work more. And if somebody screws up, that's on you. If somebody blows a deadline, that's on you. And if somebody's photocopying their ass in the breakroom, you have to adult and act all mad, even though it's kind of hilarious. Being the boss sucks. I don't know how Olivia did it." Beth Says
