It’s then that Lilith (Anna Grace Barlow) of all beings walks in, demanding Michael return with him to God. Michael voices he has no idea what to do with his life now, while Adam contemplates getting a job and how much he resents Sam and Dean for letting him rot in Hell.
Across the table is Michael, who appears to him in Adam’s form – the two have clearly become best friends in the time they’ve spent together. Over on Earth, we catch our first sight of Adam ( Jake Abel) in 10 years as he enjoys a burger for the first time in forever. The bad news is that the demons report Michael is nowhere in Hell. She also absolves Sam of his prior guilt of killing her by confirming she made the right decision to die as it’s gotten her to fix some of the wrongs she’d done in life. She attempts to get Dean and Castiel to make up, but the two are too stubborn to listen. Clearly enjoying the role and with a snazzy new costume to boot, Rowena commands the demons to go and check the cage and all around Hell for Michael. It’s only with the intervention of an ally that the boys are spared, and who does it turn out to be? That would be Rowena!

There, all three are handed their butts by three demons, and I’m left asking for about the millionth time how a Seraph like Castiel ( Misha Collins) can lose so easily to regular demons. However, once they send Donatello away so he wouldn’t inadvertently spy on them for Chuck, the heroes still decide to go through with their plan for Hell. The problem is the archangel is supposed to be in Hell, but first, Chuck himself takes over Donatello and explicitly warns the heroes to stay out of this one or he will hurt the Winchesters’ allies. The tablet tells them that Chuck’s “favorite” might be the only one to know of his fear, so it’s time for Michael to be brought back. According to the new plan, God can be sealed somewhere the Darkness had been, meaning existence can still carry on. Over at the bunker, Dean ( Jensen Ackles) approaches Sam ( Jared Padalecki) and Eileen (Shoshannah Stern) with his brilliant new plan involving the demon tablet.ĭean figures they can find a weakness in Chuck through the tablet, and that’s when the Winchesters force a reluctant Donatello (Keith Szarabajka) to decipher it.
We start off at a casino where a huge massacre seems to have taken place, save for Chuck, who is happy to make the only surviving waitress keep bringing him drinks while he plays slots. It was never going to be possible to fulfill expectations fans had for about 10 years, and there was still more I wanted from Supernatural season 15 episode eight, “Our Father, Who Aren’t In Heaven.” However, it was still a lot better than I expected, as the episode managed to make a long-running antagonist out to be a sympathetic character.
