Sam finds he wants to know more but can't quite bring himself to take on the overload of details at the moment. Since arriving, it's been nothing but a careening reorientation, the spins in the form of a new world, new people, new atmosphere — even the air here smells different. That alone is a lot to take in, never mind the idea that someone (or something) with seemingly free access to his head might come into another "huge mess" (that is arguably Sam Winchester's brain already).

"At least it's not unfamiliar," he adds with a grin and a shrug. Despite all the circumstances they'd faced in their lives — particularly when dealing in angels and demons and gods — there's no shortage of oddities to make even the more bizarre circumstances feel just like another Thursday.

"I'm glad you're the one who found me first." The practical ease-in without too many emotions has been a godsend. The only person who might have given the news more straight would have been Bobby. Still, Sam puts a hand on Jo's shoulder, grateful despite saying, "Just don't tell Dean I said so."
