Why this must be read: Officer Kathleen (from 1x15 ‘The Benders’) teams up with Henricksen and discovers more than she bargained for. Yeap, it’s just as fantastic as you’d think it would be.

"You were lucky," Reed says. "You were really lucky."

The evidence is scattered all over the table, file after file of crime-scene photographs, evidence lists, a familiar face staring back from a booking photo. The other photographs are grimmer: wrecked houses, dead and mutilated bodies, charred skeletons. Kathleen clears her throat. "Yeah," she says. It's too much to take in, right now.

"But you got closer than anyone, Officer Hudak." Now it's Henriksen, leaning toward her across the table. "You spent more time with Winchester than anyone. Anyone still alive, anyway."

"Lucky," Reed says again.

"Anyone but Sam," Kathleen says.

"We need you," Henriksen says. "You can help us find him."

The table is full of bodies: stabbed, burned, strangled, ripped apart. A dizzying range of victims, scenes, crimes. None of it makes sense. "OK," Kathleen says. "I mean, yes, of course. I'll do it."
