 +
 +
Amara takes Goldie’s soul and returns to Crowley’s hide out, now aged forward another few years. Crowley awaits in her room and confronts her for letting herself be seen and running over his court.

 +
 +
Cut to Sam and Dean leaving a house in Fall River, Massachusetts.  They discuss the ‘solid lead’ they’d thought they were chasing, which turned out to be a cat napping in the dryer.

They bemoaned being unable to chase down any current leads or victims of Amara. Dean asserts finding her victims to be the best lead they have, but Sam counters “not actually true.’
 +
 +
After discussion, Dean agrees that they have an Angel on their side and agrees to call Cas.

 +
 +
Cut back to Cas. He puts on his jacket and approaches the bunker door, but has a flashback to his trying to kill Dean before Rowena removed the spell, his torture by the angels responsible for Anna’s death, his attempt to kill Crowely, and even his fight with Dean at the bunker as Dean succumbed to the Mark of Cain. Cas cannot bring himself to leave the safety of the bunker.

 +
 +
Cut back to the boys at the entrance to the police station morgue where Lenny’s corpse was being brought in. They smell sulfer in the hallway and as they discuss the ramifications of a demon having killed Lenny they witness a commotion made by Goldie as uniform officers bring her into the station. They confront the detective and ask to speak with her after learning she tried to kill her mother.
 +
 +
Cut to Cas watching reality TV. The news begins to play a clip of a murder shot by a witness on scene, and Cas catches a reflection in the side mirror of a vehicle on scene. Cas is overwhelmed as he realizes Metatron is the cameraman.
 +
 +
Cut to the teen, Goldie, in her cell at the station. An obnoxious ginger man approaches her cell and she mouths off about wanting her phone call. He snarks at her that he is not here for that, instead he is being made to clean up messes left behind by the boss’ daughter. He enters her cell, but a few steps in is suddenly unable to advance. Looking up, he’s been caught in a devil’s trap. Sam and Dean enter the scene, and Dean makes the connection of Crowley and Amara together.
 +
 +
The boys take the ginger demon back to the local hotel and bind him to a chair. They begin to question him on the relationship between Crowley and Amara. The Demon complains about Amara eating up all the demons and Crowley putting her on restriction. After the demon mouths off and complains, refusing to give answers, Dean wants to kill him, but Sam argues to exorcise him and save the meat suit. However, a closer look reveals a mortal wound to the body, and agreeing that the vessel would not have survived and is dead without its demon host, Dean ganks the demon with Ruby’s knife.
 +
 +
Cut to Sam working on his laptop as Dean enters the hotel room after having ditched the vessel body. Sam is researching the location history of the smartphone taken from the ginger, and finds that he had been tailing Amara, having  been at the Lizzie Borden house, the bar where another was taken, and at the park where Goldie said Amara had approached her.
 +
 +
Sam comments, wondering why Crowley was keeping Amara on Earth, rather than in hell. Dean offhandedly comments that Crowley hates Hell, and Sam snarks back ‘oh right,  keep forgetting about you Crowley’s summer of love.’ Cue Dean eyeroll
 +
 +
The map Sam is using has a POI (point of interest) right near the area Amara has been working, the Amedum Asylum, now abandoned, since 1963.
 +
 +
Cut to a shot of the front of the asylum, followed by a shot of Crowley entering Amara’s room. Amara is sulking, surfing the internet and ingoring Crowley as he tries to talk with her. Crowley explains why she cannot feed wherever/whenever she wants, and has a ‘snack’ brought in in the form of a chained prisoner. Rather than accepting, Amara insists she is not hungry and refuses the gift.
 +
 +
Crowley goes to leave, but instead closes the bedroom door and turns to Amara. He confesses his lack of experience and understanding in dealing with a teen and how to reach her. He explains he is terrified, and she responds with “I’ll bet.” She is aware he wants her only for the power she will wield, and that she soon wont need him anymore.
 +
 +
Cut to Sam and Dean in the hotel. Sam wants to make sure, they are ‘gonna do this.’ Now. Going in to try to kill Amara, even though they are unaware of her power or weaknesses, or of she CAN be killed. Dean agrees but worries that if they don’t try to take her on now, it might be too late later. She is too big a threat.
 +
 +
Cut back to Crowley in Amara’s room. He acknowledges her power, but asserts he has wisdom and experience, and was part of putting Lucifer back in his cage. He proposes that while she might not need his tutelage, he can offer her his help if she will give him time, and slow down on her growth. He agrees to give her protection until she decides she doesn’t need him anymore. Amara agrees
 +
 +
Cut to Metatron filming a victim lying in an alley, giddy with how much this footage will get him. He taunts the man as he chokes his last breaths, and takes his wallet. He comments how he at one time could have healed the man, helped him, but he is not that guy anymore, and can’t save him. “I can” Cas states and enters the scene.
 +
Cas confronts Metatron about his methods and kneels down to heal the man. Metatron films the healing, gloating about the great footage. Cas takes the camera and throws it down the alley, much to Metatron’s indignation:  “Do you know how much stuff I had to steal, the pawn, to pay for that?!”
 +
 +
A Police car enters the alley and Cas and Metatron exit, leaving the healed victim.
 +
 +
Cut to the boys approaching the asylum. Despite wards there are no guards anywhere on the path leading to the entrance or at the external door. Sam cautions that while outside security may be lax, there is now way to know how many are in there, or what they’ll find. Dean, in typical fashion, picks the lock with a smirking “well, let’s find out.”
 +
 +
Cut to Crowley’s ‘court’ where a minion lackey gives a report on decreasing soul collection. Crowley, rather than reading the report, is reading a parenting book on how to interact with your sulky teen.
 +
 +
Cut to Metatron being tossed into a warehouse by Cas. Cas berates Metatron for being a pick pocket and letting people die, expressing his disappointment. Metatron counters with insults regarding Cas’ time as a human, choosing a way of ‘slinging slurpies’ and gives his whining speech about how he pulled himself up trying to better himself.
 +
 +
Cas responds with contempt for Metatron and his preying on human tragedy. Metatron sneers back to Cas to know what century he is in now, he is not shamed by making his way dealing in ‘fleeting visual sensation’, ‘gif length glimpses of horror, waste and degradation.’ How he has now caught up with the times. ‘Reality is the great literature’ of this era, and he himself is ‘reality’s author’
 +
 +
Cas cuts him off, that this was not what he came for. Metatron begins to taunt and bluster that Cas will never find the demon tablet. He’s hidden it so well… But Cas pulls the tablet from his jacket and lets Metatron know he has found it already. He begins to question Metatron about what he knows about the Darkness. Metatron tries to act as though he doesn’t understand, but when pushed instead begins to snark, sure of himself that Cas is traumatized and afraid, and can’t hit him because of that fear.
 +
 +
Cas lets loose and finally punches Metatron, letting him know, ‘it’s not fear.’
 +
 +
Cut to Crowley’s asylum. The lackey guarding Amara’s door hears Crowley calling from around the corner. He approaches to find the Dean waiting in the hallway instead, playing a recording of Crowley from Dean’s cellphone. As he rushes Dean, Sam tackles him from the side, cuffing him.
 +

Dean enters Amara’s room where she is calmly waiting for him. Something passes between them and Dean apologizes as he brandishes Ruby’s knife. A moment passes and Crowley is heard behind Dean, tossing Dean at the wall as he turns to face Crowley.

Crowley picks up Ruby’s knife that Dean dropped and monologues about why he wasn’t able, before, to kill Dean because of their shared experiences, their bromance. But he concludes that he feels he is ready to kill Dean today, feels different ‘Fatherhood chances a man.’
 +
 +
Suddenly, Amara – from behind him – hits Crowley over the head with what looks like a log from her fireplace. He spins to confront her and she freezes him. She pressures him with her power, first causing him to drop the knife, then snapping his arm and throwing him across the room, pinning him to the wall. She hold Crowley pinned with one hand, keeping Dean pinned to the pillar with the other.

Quotes

Sam: So um, on the off chance You're actually listening. I gotta be real honest, the visions aren't making a whole lot of real sense to me. Truth is, I don't know what's what. Please, what are You trying to say?
Dean: I thought we talked about this.

Sam: Yeah, we did, Dean. But why's it so hard to believe God could be sending me visions about the Darkness?

Dean: You kidding me? He didn't feel the need to show up for the Apocalypse, why would He give a crap now?
Dean: I'm saying don't count on God, count on us.
Donna: For the most part been tater tots and lemon drops, except for this doozy. I mean, when you get a call about a killer Easter Bunny, you don't know what to think.
Donna: My guess? Copycat killer.
Dean: Damn social media.
Sam: Yeah, so, Ghosts 101: somebody's spirit can attach itself to an object or a bunch of objects left behind. In this case, masks.

Dean: Right. So, whoever possesses the object...

Sam: ...Gets possessed.
Sam: Everything has a weakness, even ghosts.
Dean: They hate iron and salt, so all we gotta do is spook the spook with a little salt and, uh, maybe we could pry it off.
Dean: Killer clown? You're serious?
Sam: No Dean, I'm joking. Because clowns are really funny to me.
Donna: I don't know how you two do this. Day in day out, figuring out who's possessed, who isn't. Your life's one big poop storm isn't it?
Dean: Spoken like a true hunter.
Sam: I keep praying to God because if it is God, and I know you think it isn't, but if it is, He's showing me something I don't know what to do with.

Dean: What?
Sam: The Cage.
Dean: Lucifer's Cage?
Sam: Yeah. What if He's telling me I have to go back, what if He's saying that's where the answer is to defeating the Darkness?

Dean: Sam, no. No, okay? I don't know if these visions are coming from God or PBS or what. But we been down that road. Anything having to do with that cage is-it's suicide, you of all people know that. So no. Just... not gonna happen.

Trivia & References

Dean: Yeah maybe. I'm just still not 100% sure this is our kind of a case, but if you got a wild hare... See what I did there?
"Wild hare" is a pun on the term "wild hair," which refers to a person who does something sudden or unexpected. It is derived from the expression "to have a wild hair up one’s ass" or various variations of the phrase.
Sam and Dean use the aliases Elliot and Savage. Joe Elliott is the lead singer and Rick Savage is the bass player for English rock band Def Leppard.
Sam: What's the deal? He seems nice.
