After hanging up with Jody, they all start getting ready to go while the kids finish eating. Sam gets up, frowning when he sees the sharpie by her leg.

"What is this?" He picks the marker.

"Huh. Don't know how that got there." Carly shrugs, focusing on her cereal. Sam's eyebrows furrow, thinking back to when he woke up and remembering that Carly jumped.

"You're evil." He tells her, kissing her cheek. Carly innocently smiles.

"Sheriff. Laying off the blind dates, I hope." Dean says.

"Yeah. You bite your tongue, boy." Jody says.

"So?" Sam asks.

"So. Car was right over there, ass over teakettle. Now, normally, if somebody would tell me that one guy lifted an S.U.V., I'd tell him to take a flying leap, but after what I've seen..."

"Nothing's impossible." Sam says.

"Uh-huh." Jody nods.

"And this matches up with the other missing people how?" Dean asks.

"Well, four abductions, strong evidence left at every scene -- literally." Jody says.

"So, first vic was a pastor?" Sam asks.

"Yeah. Door of his study was punched in. And then, the next two -- an engaged couple." Jody says.

"Locked bedroom window was ripped open." Dean says.

"Mm-hmm. And then we have our waitress here with the topsy turvy ride." Jody says.

"Any other connection among them?" Sam asks.

"Yeah. They were all members of Good Faith church here. My, uh, my church group back in Sioux Falls was in a tizzy over it." Jody says. Dean hums. "What?"

"I didn't beg you for churchy." Dean says.

"Yeah. You know, choking on the ladies' room floor cause of witchcraft kind of makes a higher power seem relevant." Jody says.

"Jody, are you sure you're, uh, ready to jump back in the fray?" Dean asks.

"This wackadoo stuff keeps coming. More I know, better armed I'll be." Jody says.

"Okay, so, we have, uh, missing church folk and super strength. Maybe angels harvesting vessels? Could be a Buddy Boyle type thing." Sam says.

"Wh-- angels? You're joking."

"Don't get your pants on fire. They suck." Dean tells Jody.

"You said there was a witness." Sam says.

"Yeah, well... more or less." Jody says.

They're in an office at the church and sitting across from Bonnie.

"We hope you enjoyed the tour. Any questions before we get you three registered?" Bonnie asks.

"Uh, yeah, uh, look, um, Ms. Futchko..." Sam says.

"Oh, plese. Bonnie will do just fine." She says.

"Bonnie. Okay, um, we... love the church. We do. But... well, we've heard that a few members have gone missing and to be honest... that kind of scares us." Sam says.

"Let me assure you, with our increased security, Good Faith has never been safer. And those people who have gone missing, well, they are front and center in our prayers." Bonnie says.

"What a relief. Now, you must have been, uh, close to them." Dean says.

"Well, we do share the A.P.U bond." Bonnie says.
