The controls themselves are clearly located within the lighthouse. Robin has said as much, publicly. But she barely knows how to use them after two decades at the helm. Sure, others here might pick it up quicker - for he's beginning to get the idea that Robin, for all her experience as Keeper, is either not very bright or not very curious - but they won't be getting to try any time soon.

He pockets the bullets and powder, and gives Crowley a nod. "Thanks for these, though. If I find anything out about a way back, I'll keep you updated. I know you're not alone in feeling trapped here."
