Metatron approaches Castiel to talk about the situation in [[Heaven]]. He's done some investigating and found many factions all at war trying to gain control and that Naomi leads just one of them. Castiel feels responsible after all the destruction he wrought in Heaven. Metatron invites Castiel to join him for some crepes at a restaurantin Ojai. He tells Castiel that he thinks they should close Heaven off from Earth to force the angels to sort out their issues, and also to prevent any of their conflict from causing damage on Earth. He says that the angel tablet contains [[trials]] which when completed will close Heaven. As the Scribe of God, Metatron knows them without the tablet. Metatron says he's just "a writerpencil pusher", but that Castiel is a warrior.
Castiel agrees to undertake the trials, even though Metatron warns that they will be more difficult than Castiel can imagine. He then points out [[Jane]], the young woman who has been their waitress. Metatron reveals the first trial is to kill her and cut out her heart because she is [[Nephilim]] and considered an abomination. That night, the two angels trail her to kill her, but she reveals her knowledge of what they are and begs them not to kill her. As she is an innocent woman, Castiel hesitates, but when she attacks him and Metatron, Castiel kills her with his [[angel blade]] and completes the first trial.
