Synopsis
Something kills and eats a camper in the Wharton State Forest, and Dean, Sam, and Bobby squat in an abandoned house while they investigate that and a number of missing persons reports. Dean complains about their living conditions over the last few weeks, but Bobby is insistent that they need to follow Frank Devereaux's advice and stay off the grid while the Leviathans are after them. Dean, though, is fed up and points out that the world is always on the verge of ending—maybe it wants to end. Bobby tells him not to think about it.

Sam: Someone's got to do it.
Dean: It's funny, I couldn't give two shakes of a rat's ass. Is that right? Do rats shake their asses or is it something else?.
Dean: I think you pissed off my sandwich.
