Season 7
In Reading Is Fundamental, when her son vanishes, she goes to the police for help. A detective visits her at her house and while he's interviewing her, Kevin appears with two angels. Linda is relieved to see her son, but the reunion is cut short when the detective reveals himself to be Edgar, a Leviathan, who kills both angels and kidnaps both Kevin and Linda.

In There Will Be Blood, Dick Roman holds Linda hostage and uses her life to force Kevin to translate the Word of God for him. Once Kevin is finished, Edgar instructs his men to let Linda go, under the condition that she doesn't talk.

Season 8
In What's Up, Tiger Mommy?, Concerned about his mother's welfare, Kevin convinced Dean and Sam to visit his mom. After clearing through the demons secretly guarding her home, Kevin and his mom are reunited. Linda takes the news of her son being a prophet with surprising ease, even willing to go on the job with them to ensure Kevin's safety. During the episode, she establishes herself as a devoted mother not to be taken lightly, from getting a tattoo without flinching to attacking Crowley head-on, despite knowing how dangerous he is. She, alongside Dean, Sam, and Kevin, attends the auction held by the pagan god, Plutus, for The Word of God. After Kevin is kidnapped by Beau, Linda offers her own soul in exchange for her son. After declining the angels' protection, Linda is possessed by Crowley, with the help of Beau, who burns her anti-possession tattoo off. In her body, Crowley kills Plutus, steals The Word of God, and escapes before Dean can kill him in Linda's body. Linda is left severely traumatized by the event, and Kevin is angry that Dean was willing to kill his mother to get to Crowley. She later disappears with Kevin, in an attempt to get away from both the Winchesters and Crowley.

In A Little Slice of Kevin, when Kevin gets back to the abandoned restaurant where they are hiding out, Linda, who has recovered from her possession, dumps a bucket of holy water on him to make sure he isn't possessed. Linda reveals that in order to replicate the "demon bomb" spell Kevin used to escape Crowley so they can strike at him, she has hired a witch named Delta Mendota off of Craigslist to gather the ingredients they need which are found all over the world.

When Delta arrives, Linda squirts her with holy water to make sure she is not possessed and is annoyed when Kevin shows interest in Delta. Linda is angry when it turns out Delta didn't bring them much ingredients, wanting to be paid first and is shocked that Delta betrayed them to Crowley. Crowley kidnaps Kevin and leaves a demon to kill Linda, however, she squirts him with holy water and overpowers him. Needing help to rescue Kevin, Linda calls Sam for help and brings the demon in the trunk of her car bound by a Devil's Trap so they can interrogate him. Linda meets with Sam and Dean and gives them the ingredients and Kevin's notebook with instructions for the demon bomb. Interrogating the demon, they get Kevin's location, but when they get there, Sam handcuffs Linda to her steering wheel so she won't be in danger or get in the way.

Sam, Dean and Castiel rescue Kevin and reunite him with Linda. Linda helps Kevin clean up a bit as Sam warns her about how calling in a witch led to this situation and tells her that they are calling in Garth to look after them and that Castiel believes he can fix Kevin's cut-off finger.

In Hunteri Heroici, Linda calls Sam to tell him they are safe on Garth's boat while Kevin translates the Demon Tablet.

In Taxi Driver, Crowley later captured her son who was alone on the boat one night. Crowley claims to have finally captured Linda and tortured her for Kevin's location. Crowley claims that when Linda wouldn't break, he killed her and got Kevin's location off of Linda's SmartPhone. Upon hearing of Linda's supposed death, Kevin screams in horror.

In Sacrifice, after Kevin is rescued, he mentions to Castiel and Dean that his mother is dead, indicating that at least he believes her to be dead.
