After the Omega-Witness, Rowena MacLeod makes room for damage in the only way she knows how: by opening a bar, pouring drinks, and forcing three supernatural idiots to explain how they survived contact with the Winchester ecosystem. There are house rules. No fighting. No deals. No summoning. No Winchesters. Naturally, the last one is aspirational, more of a hope than a policy.
As old humiliations are dragged into the light, Rowena keeps one eye on the damage the family is carrying now, one eye on the fools who think they understand what happened then, and both hands very firmly on the room.
