Much to Sam's astonishment at their lack of empathy for Susie's death.

Later, Janet finds Billy speaking with Veronica in the gymnasium and calls for him to leave. Back at their home, Janet and Billy argue about his wanting to help with Susie's memorial, as Henry washes his blood stained hands in the kitchen sink. Janet and Henry try to explain to Billy everything they've done has been to help him be happy, despite Billy never asking them to, causing Janet to leave the room in tears.

Sam and Dean discover that the Whitman's car was used in the abduction of Tori Taylor, who has been bound in the Whitman's basement being drained of her blood. Upon entering the Whitman's home, Henry sends Billy upstairs while the Winchesters reveal they know he took Tori. After hearing a noise in the basement, Sam goes to investigate. Henry offers himself up to be arrested, if his family is left alone. Dean corrects him and pulls out a machete, telling Henry they are not FBI and know what he is.

As Sam finds Tori bound in the basement, Janet sneaks up on him with a gun. Forcing the two upstairs. Henry tells Janet to put the gun down and that it's over, and to take Billy and leave.
