I love/hate it when Dean cries. This is a good one.
I cannot help but to think what fun those boys had working those scenes together. Jensen and Jared, playing their Dean and Sam as strongly as ever, and Misha and Rob playing long time characters with a twist. Knowing the penchant for shenanigans on set, it is a miracle they got anything done at all.
This episode is the first step of gathering everyone for the fight against Amara. Crowley will enter the fray next week.
NOW!
Chuck gives the Winchesters a quick one-two punch to prove he’s really God. He snaps them from the streets of Hope Springs, to the bunker, and then gives us all a surprize by revealing Kevin Tran, and finally sending him up to Heaven. KEVIN TRAN! Well done, Chuck.
After Sam fanboys at Chuck a little, Dean shows us how heartbroken he is to find out God had left the building. Nothing is more upsetting than watching Dean cry, people (see gif at the start of this thing).
Chuck goes off for a shower, and Dean is up late trying to find Amara. So if course, she shows herself to him, telling Dean she knows her brother is in town, and that Lucifer, and consequently Castiel, are not doing well.
The Amara fog shows up in another town, killing everyone except one person: Professor Donatello Redfield, your newest prophet ladies and gentlemen!
Metatron calls the beautiful boys to show them Chuck’s autobiography, and fill them in on his intent to let Amara take everything down. Everyone is decidedly upset about Chuck just giving in to his sister.
Dean has a sit down with Chuck at a playground, and tries to convince Chuck to take Amara down, and I’m starting to think that Chuck is in need of a massive dose of Prozac.
So, with Chuck seemingly content watching curling and eating take-out, our heroes hatch a plan. Dean heads off for a Amara-requested meeting in the woods to keep her occupied, while Sam, Metatron and Donatello head off to rescue Casifer. Just as Metatron finds the spell to release Casifer, Amara realizes that Dean is in cahoots with Chuck. Very upset that her boo has betrayed her, she heads back to her lair, and finds Metatron, who has stayed behind to let the others escape. Amara has no mercy, and bye-bye Metatron.
Amara quickly finds the escapees, and just as she has them trapped, and our heroes seem doomed, Chuck drops Baby right into the bunker, and out of Amara’s path. SWEET.
We end the episode with our new team: A cranky and probably unpredictable Casifer; a depressed Chuck who has a soft spot for the Winchesters (thank God); and Sam and Dean, who have the task of herding all of the cats to try and defeat Amara. This should be fun.
Quotes!
Dean: “Holy crap.”
Chuck: “I know you had a complicated upbringing, Dean, but don’t confuse me with your dad.”
Amara: “I needed solitude, and he needed a fan club, so he made all of …that.”
Sam: “I know he takes really long showers.” Dean: “Right? And sings, too. Like, crappy old folk songs. I had to tell him to cool it three times.” Sam: “You told God to cool it?” Dean: “Yeah, I sleep.”
Dean: “Is that my robe?”
Donatello: “I can’t be a prophet, I’m an Ahtiest. And a chemist. I believe in molecules, not God.”
Dean: “Is that my computer?” Chuck: “I’ve never seen so much porn. Not in one sitting.”
Chuck: “I mean, I believe in me. But your skepticism is to be expected. I did include free will in the kit. Welcome aboard.”
Metatron: “It’s not an autobiography, it’s a suicide note.”
Casifer: “Wacky isn’t it? One minute, your nobody, and then shazam, you’re Joan of Arc. Let’s hope this ends better than that.”
Chuck: “Occasionally, I do answer a prayer.”
Dean: “Still twitchy, huh? Well, you’ve met God, Lucifer and The Darkness. You’re gonna need a spa day. That or a pair of hookers.”
Next!
The Winchesters recruit Crowley and Rowena for the fight. I think.
