:''"Because I made a promise. Because I love you, Jack. And Sam and Dean-- they love you. And they are fighting for you at this very minute. I hope that… They don't need to know what happened here. What I did-- I'm-- I'm-- I'm at peace with my choice. I don't want them to worry."''
[[Jack]] dies of his affliction, devastating the Winchesters and Castiel. The three spend the night drinking and sharing stories and in the morning, Sam calls in [[Lily Sunder]] in hopes that she can read [[Kevin Tran]]'s [[Tablets#Angel Tablet|angel tablet]] notes and find something that can help them to save Jack. Displaying none of her previous antagonism towards Castiel, Lily determines that she can't read the notes, but offers a solution using her [[Enochian]] magic to sacrifice a piece of Jack's own [[soul]] to sustain him. Castiel realizes that if Jack is in [[Heaven]], he can pull Jack's soul back into his body for just long enough for Jack to perform the spell. However, Lily demands that the Winchesters ensure that what remains of her own soul get into Heaven in exchange. Castiel tells the Winchesters about [[Anubis]], the deity used to determine where a person's soul will end up, but receives a distress call over [[angel radio]] that reveals that something has happened in Heaven and all of the gates have been thrown open, even the ones that [[Metatron]] closed. Castiel leaves the Winchesters to deal with Anubis and Lily while he travels into Heaven to find Jack and uncover what is happening.
In Heaven, Castiel finds the place virtually abandoned and learns from [[Dumah]] that Heaven has been invaded. Searching Jack's Heaven, the two find him missing, but are met with [[Naomi]] who explains that the [[Cosmic Entity]] from [[the Empty]], the same being that resurrected Castiel, has invaded Heaven in search of Jack's soul due to his half-angel nature before Naomi is consumed by the Entity as well like all of the rest of the angels.
Continuing his search, Castiel finally locates Jack's soul in [[Kelly Kline]]'s Heaven where he is warmly reunited with his old friend. Though Jack is dead, Kelly states that Castiel still kept his promise to her since Jack is so wonderful. Castiel proposes to Jack their plan to bring him back, which worries Kelly because it will sacrifice part of his soul. However, it will also cause the Entity to leave Heaven since Jack will no longer be there. The Entity reveals itself to be possessing Dumah and attacks to take Jack to the Empty as Dean prays to Castiel that they are ready on Earth. Unable to defeat the Entity, Castiel offers to trade himself in Jack's place if the Entity will allow him to return to life. Castiel reminds the being that it could be eons otherwise before it gets him and the Entity accepts, but states that it will only take Castiel once he is truly happy. After the Entity leaves, Castiel asks Jack not to tell the Winchesters as Castiel doesn't want to burden them with his choice which he is at peace with. Jack accepts and after a goodbye with his mother, Castiel [[resurrection|resurrects]] Jack, allowing him to complete the spell and be cured.
After departing Kelly's Heaven, Castiel is greeted by Naomi who thanks him for his actions even if they weren't done to save Heaven. In turn, Naomi offers Castiel the location of [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] as a reward. Upon returning to Earth, Castiel shares this news with the Winchesters and Jack who celebrate both Jack's return and knowing where to attack Michael.
