I almost had the recap done, and then BOOM, everything is gone. So, here is a quickie recap, because I don’t have the time or energy to do the whole thing again.
Everyone is in the AU world!!
Even an evil, nazi-ish Castiel!
Lucifer talks to Jack! It goes okay! (Nobody dies. That’s the definition of OK on Supernatural.)
Gabriel tells Lucy to stop being such a blame-y jerk.
The Winchesters Three, plus NotEvilCastiel rescues Ketch and Charlie from some torturing. Castiel kills evil, twitchy Castiel!
THEY ARE THE SAME. But totally not.
Lucifer gets his other world CDL license and they load up the rebels and drive 25 or so off to the rift so everyone can have some beers and regroup in a safe and pretty world.(How many of these peeps are gonna go soft and bail on the fight? I am not ashamed to admit that I would. This earth has good whiskey and mostly non-apocalyptic days.)
Before our beautiful boys step through the rift – a rift that is quickly waning, as Rowena has been using magic to keep it open for, what? DAYS?? Yay, Rowena! Is she totally TeamWinchester? Maybe! (At least for now.) – Gabriel volunteers to stay and keep Micheal occupied while everyone escapes. He pays for his heroics with an arch angel blade to the gut, and our favorite trickster is now all the way dead. SadFace!
Lucy, not nearly as selfless, wants to be with Jack, but Sam tells him he has to stay, to keep an eye on Michael. Sam knows this is Lucifer’s doom. He is sure of it.
Oh, Sammy, not so much! Never forget the wiliness of this particular arch angel!!
Micheal beats up Lu pretty good, but Lu is no fool. He tells Micheal he knows the spell to open the door to the other, nicer, prettier earth, and the two strike a deal. DUN!!
We end the episode with a packed bunker, everyone clinking glasses and smiling, with the exception of Jack. Jack, who looks sullen and alone, and holy crap that is not a good look! SOMEONE SHOULD TOTALLY GO OVER AND TALK WITH JACK!
BAH.
There was a theme running through this episode: Hugs/No Hugs!
HUGS!!
NO HUGS!!
Next!
It’s gonna be a humdinger of a finale, ladies and gents! Micheal finally crosses over!!
