When Rowena gloats that he had murdered her own son, the King of Hell, by bewitching an angel to do the dirty work. One of the witches then mention that a friend of her just made a deal with Crowley recently. This news upsets Rowena, and when the other witches about to leave her, she used a spell from the Book of the Damned to evaporate them.  
 
  
In the bunker, Sam, Dean, and Castiel – chained to the floor – are trying to find any information about the disappearance of baby Amara. When Sam mentions that God did put The Darkness away a long time ago, Castiel replied bitterly that he’s not confident on that this time. God was not the only one they need to find, there’s also Metatron, who might also know about The Darkness, since he’s the scribe of God, and Rowena, who could remove the attack dog spell from Cas.

Synopsis

In the dark side of a city, Rowena is trying to gather new followers for her new coven, the Mega Coven, a name which unfortunately doesn’t receive the awe she's looking for. Instead, her main intention of creating a new cult is soon revealed: she needs her fellow witches to provide her with protection from the Winchesters and her other enemies.

Rowena gloats that she murdered her own son, the King of Hell, by bewitching an angel to do the dirty work. One of the witches then mentions that a friend of hers just made a deal with Crowley recently. This news upsets Rowena, and when the other witches are about to leave her, she used a spell from the Book of the Damned to evaporate them.

In the bunker, Sam, Dean, and Castiel – chained to the floor – are trying to find any information about the disappearance of baby Amara. When Sam mentions that God did put The Darkness away a long time ago, Castiel replied bitterly that he’s not confident of that happening this time. God is not the only one they need to find; there’s also Metatron, who might also know about The Darkness since he’s the scribe of God, and Rowena, who could remove the attack dog spell from Cas.

Down in his mansion, Crowley receives news from one of his minions that his mother was sighted alive, and commands her to be annihilated.

And Castiel is gone.

Crowley has realised what Amara can do with all the soul she consumes, and he soon assigns a new nanny for the little girl (the demon that failed to assassinate his mother) and commands him to inform Amara that she will need cut down on the number of souls she's eating.

Quotes

Sam: God kicked this thing's ass once before, right?

Dean: Yeah, it'd be nice if he put down the Mai Tai and showed up for work.

Castiel: I wouldn't count on that.
Dean: Come on Crowley, pick up! I left you a dozen messages. Why isn't he answering the phone?
Sam: Because he's a dick, and that's not breaking news.
Dean: You know where you are? What's the date?
Castiel: Earth. Several billion years from the beginning.
The Darkness: Amara, you must stay fixed on our purpose, even we cannot undo what has already been done. But as you grow and become stronger, your true destiny will be clear to you. I am what you are becoming, and we are mightier than God.
Demon: You know our two operations will always butt heads, that's the set up. But this. We could be out of work.

Angel: Yeah. We get knocked out, it takes over.
Demon: Someone's gotta do something.
Angel: Someone?
Demon: Yeah. If management won't, it's up to the little guy.
Angel: Yeah, I hear ya.
Demon: Power to the people, my friend.
Angel: Well, not actually people.

Demon: You know what I mean.
Amara: Every time I take in a soul, I feel how much emptiness there is.

Crowley: Yes.
Amara: God made a world where people have to suffer, and then die.
Crowley: Unfortunately.

Amara: But frankly, why would they want to live in such a world?
Amara: Good, evil, Heaven, Hell, people. It all seems so unimportant.
Rowena: Your eyes, so burdened. What happened precisely when I removed the Mark? The book wasn't specific. Yes, I read quite a bit of it. What new hell has Dean Winchester released upon the world?
Demon: She looks at me like she wants to eat me.
Crowley: She wants to eat everyone, don't take it personally.
Castiel: Dean, I can fix that.
Dean: No, no, no, no, it's fine, Cas. Besides, I had it coming.
Amara: I said I'm hungry!

Trivia & References

"The Bad Seed" is a reference to the 1954 novel and 1956 film of the same name about an 8-year-old girl who is also a sociopath.
The scene in which the angel and demon share a drink together at a bar, and commiserate over the state of Heaven and Hell is reminiscent of Neil Gaiman's Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. In Good Omens, the demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale, while representatives of Hell and Heaven on Earth, have become friends and like to get drunk together.
Crowley: Dante's Inferno, in the original Italian.
Dante's Inferno is the first part of the epic poem The Divine Comedy written by 14th century Italian Dante Alighieri. Inferno tells of his journey through the nine circles of Hell.
Crowley: That's God for you, not really thought out. The whole Big Bang thing? More of a big bust. I mean boom, bang, stars, evolution, Taylor Swift. I'm guessing you'd have done things differently.
The Big Bang was the cosmological event at the start of the universe. Taylor Swift is a Grammy award winning singer/songwriter. Her song "Shake it off" was the basis of the Hillywood Supernatural Parody.
Dean: Sam why don't you grab Cas, so Florence Nightingale here can do her stuff.
Florence Nightingale was a nurse in the Crimean war, who went onto be a leader in medicine, particularly in infection control and the use of statistics to determine contributing causes of mortality and morbidity.

Minutiae

Deni DeLory, who played Witch #1, previously appeared in 2.08 Crossroad Blues.
