I know that this sounds odd. [ And isn't really a question that people generally ask. Also what isn't odd, around here? It's her justification ] But with what's been happening I'd like to know.

[ There's a pause. It's a touchy subject, obviously, and she's not even sure where the conversations might go ]

I want to know about your experience with death. [ She's going to try and go slow on this. As slow as Lydia Martin wanting to know something can. But things are pretty messed up. She feels pretty messed up. And she'll even tell her reasons for asking if she's asked ]

Not just if you know someone has died but... if you've seen it. [ A two second pause ] Or nearly died.

It's happened here, and could have happened a lot more. [ If Dirk hadn't put out that useful message. People were still taken but at least they were warned ]

But- Can people come back? [ It might sound crazy, but it's happened before. It happened to Jackson - twice, although that was a supernatural thing. But it leaves the possibility, right? ]

( PRIVATE: Allison Argent | "Stiles" Stilinski )

I'm going to the library. Hopefully it's as useful as it should be.

Some of Ellen Harvelle's moonshine, the batch that was brewed with holy water. If you were possessed by a demon, it wouldn't have just tasted bad.

[ He screws the cap back on his flask and tucks it in his pocket. ]

There are other kinds of possession, maybe, like ghost possession. But with you being called to different kinds of bodies, back home and here, I don't know about that one.

[intelligently]

You think that I'm possessed?

[ That definitely was pretty... odd. And with all the blackouts she'd been having? Why not ]

There isn't any other option?

[venatical]

It fits with the blackouts. Not sure how the dead bodies tie in yet.

[ Dean hasn't run into many people who aren't aware of their status as a supernatural being, so his mind is going to possession first. ]

Hey. You want me to look into this? There are books in the library that can help me; I saw 'em.

[intelligently]

What if they don't? [ Is that even an option? Hopefully he'll know.

When Dean asks if she'd like him to look into it at first Lydia just looks at him, only for a couple of seconds, and then she nods. He knows a lot more about, about everything than she does. It'd help ]

I wouldn't even know where to start.

[venatical]

They've got to. People don't just blackout and wake up next to dead bodies over and over again.

We'll do it together. Promise. [ He smiles at her, trying to be a little more comforting. ]

This is what my brother and I do, okay?

[intelligently]

[ Lydia doesn't smile but she does look a little more relaxed, and definitely grateful. For some reason she trusted Dean, and she knew that he could do it - or would try, based on what he'd told her before ]

Okay. What do we do first?

[venatical]

We can hit up the library and see what's there. I'll probably bring my brother in on this too.
