After Garth escapes the hospital where he was interred, Bess helps pick him up but her car is caught on security cameras, enabling [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] to track down her apartment. Bess hid in the closet when the Winchesters broke down the door, demanding answers from Garth. She then burst out and attacked Sam, only to recoil when she cuts herself on his [[silver]] knife. Garth reveals that not only is she his wife, but like her, he is a [[werewolf]] too. After getting bitten by [[Garth's Sire|a werewolf]] during a hunt, he decided to kill himself, but Bess found him and took him into their pack led by her father. They offered Dean to meet with the pack to prove that they have benevolent intentions. During dinner, Bess explained to Dean that the pack wear [[silver]] bullets around their necks to remind them of their own fragility.

Later she and Garth were captured by [[Joy Myers]], her stepmother, who wanted to pin their deaths on Sam and turn the pack against humanity, but were rescued by Dean who killed [[Russ]], [[Jobah]] and [[Joy Myers|Joy]] single-handedly. She later consoles her father, who is heart-broken by Joy's betrayal.<ref>''Sharp Teeth''</ref>

===[[Season 15]]===
During ''[[The Heroes' Journey]]'', Bess and Garth are shown to have settle down and are now raising three children. The Winchesters soon arrive after having car problems. Bess and the Winchesters are on better terms, as they are able to talk amicably and she is shocked to hear [[God]] is out to kill them. She and Garth are the ones who tell them God has decided to make them normal by comparing their life story to others. Soon her cousin Brad comes in battered and injured. When he wakes up, he is disgusted Bess is affiliating with hunters, as she scolds him and does so again after he remarks they'll be dead while telling them of the monster fight club.

After the Winchesters return, Bess was tending to the kids. As Sam and Dean leave, Bess dances with Garth to "Werewolves of London."
