Linda Tran calls the police after Kevin disappears. A Detective named Collins visits her to reassure her that they will find her missing son. Kevin returns, accompanied by two angels. However, they cannot protect themselves as Collins effortlessly kills them both, saying that "Leviathan beats Angel." He then greets Kevin as he morphs into the form of the Leviathan Edgar.

7.22 There Will Be Blood

Dick Roman has both Kevin and his mother hostage. He threatens to harm Mrs Tran if Kevin does not translate The Word Of God.

8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy?

Kevin insists on checking up on his mother, who he hasn't seen in a year. At the time, Linda is visiting with her friend Eunice sadly discussing the disappearence of Kevin who Eunice insists Linda keep out hope for. With the Winchesters, he finds her house surrounded by demons. After killing two of them, Sam and Dean find that Eunice is possessed as well and kill her in front of a shocked Linda. They then offer to find a safe house for Linda to hide out in, but she insists on accompanying them in the search for The Word Of God.

Kevin and his mom get Anti-possession symbols tattooed on them to prevent demon possession, although Linda admits it's not her first tattoo which appears to shock Kevin.

While tracking down the tablet, Linda proves of use at a pawn shop, using her knowledge of tax law to blackmail the owner into giving them the information they need, which helps them track down Beau, who invites them to Plutus auction of mystical artifacts.

At the auction, Crowley shows up, and Linda punches him for kidnapping Kevin, impressing Sam and Dean. When Plutus grabs Kevin and adds him to the auction, Linda wins the auction by offering her soul which Sam warns won't kill her, but will make her wish she was dead, knowing from his own soulless experience.

After the auction, Samandiriel tries to convince her to let the angels guard Kevin, but she refuses as the last time angels tried, they were killed and Kevin got kidnapped. She is then possessed by Crowley after Beau burns off her tattoo.

Possessing her body, Crowley pretends to seal her deal and then teams up with Beau to kill Plutus and his guards and take The Word of God. In the fight that follows, Dean nearly kills Crowley and Linda with Ruby's Knife, but Crowley flees her body first, leaving her in shock and completely unresponsive. Sam and Dean believe she will recover as she is a strong woman, but Kevin tricks them and flees with her. He leaves a note asking Sam and Dean not to follow them.
