Changes

Dean and Bobby arrive at Crowley's hideout and scope out the building. It's full of [[angels]], but before they can try to infiltrate it, they are hit by an entire cloud of demons that flips the Impala with them inside it. Castiel is still preparing the ritual when the cloud of demons descends around the building, and Crowley appears. Castiel tries to kill him with his angelic touch, but it fails because Crowley has a new partner: [[Raphael]]. Castiel is surprised at the partnership because of their differing goals, but both Crowley and Raphael seem to think they have taken the best course available. They demand the blood; Castiel throws them the jar of blood and leaves. outside Outside, Sam surveys the flipped and empty Impala - has a flash of memory from Lucifer's Cage, then continues to approach the building.

Crowley conducts the ritual, and though Bobby and Dean try to interrupt, completes it. Nothing happens , and Castiel reappears. Crowley realizes that he switched the blood, and conducted his own ritual. Castiel displays his new power briefly in a flash of energy - commenting and tells them that they cannot imagine what it is like to be filled with the power of "millions upon millions of souls.". Crowley immediately beats a hasty retreat , but Raphael is unable to, a . A terrified Raphael begs for mercy saying that , asking why Castiel allowed Crowley - a demon - to escape, so why not him? . Castiel states answers that this is because he has plans for Crowley , but none for Raphael. Castiel then snaps his fingers, completely obliterating Raphael.

He turns to Dean and Bobby. He was right, he says, and did save them. Dean nervously agrees, then suggests that Castiel should return the souls, and disarm himself. Castiel says he has Raphael's followers to deal with. Dean is worried that Castiel's power is affecting his mind and that he could "kill us all.", he He reminds Castiel that he is family, and tells him that he doesn't want to lose him. Castiel says that he has no family anymore; he will not give up the souls. Suddenly Sam stabs him from behind with an angel killing sword, but nothing happens. Castiel greets him, then says the sword will not work because he is not an angel anymore. He says that he is their new God - a better one, - and that they must venerate him, or be destroyed. They look at him in horror.
