Back at [[Bobby]]'s place, Bobby [[Photo Album|takes a photo]] of himself, Sam, Dean, [[Ellen]], Jo and [[Castiel]], as he believes that this might be their last night on Earth. When the team arrives in Missouri, Castiel sees [[reaper]]s everywhere. He tries to find out why they are there and is captured in a ring of flaming [[holy oil]] by [[Lucifer]], who tries to convince Castiel to join him. [[Meg]] arrives and sends [[hellhound]]s after the brothers and the Harvelles, and while trying to help Dean, Jo is severely wounded. While taking shelter in a hardware store, Dean calls Bobby, who tells him the Reapers are in town because they are waiting for their boss to show: [[Death]], one of the [[Four Horsemen]]. Realizing she won't recover from this, Jo suggests they build a bomb to blow up the hellhounds, using her as bait to lure the demonic dogs. Ellen volunteers to stay behind, too, so she can let the hellhounds in and set off the bomb while Dean and Sam escape. After a tearful goodbye with Dean, Jo dies in Ellen's arms, who then blows up the building, killing herself and the hellhounds. |
− | The brothers find Lucifer having killed all the women and children in the town as part of the ritual to summon [[Death]], and with all the men possessed by demons. Dean shoots Lucifer with the Colt. However, he recovers instantly and reveals that there are only five beings the Colt can't kill — and he happens to be one of them. Lucifer sacrifices several demons to summon Death, stating that "they're just demons." Meanwhile, Castiel manages to free himself from his trap and takes the brothers to Bobby's. There, Bobby throws the picture showing them all into the fire as if it is a [[Hunter's funeral pyre]] and together with the brothers, grieves silently over Jo and Ellen's death. | + | The brothers find Lucifer having killed all the women and children in the town as part of the ritual to summon [[Death]], and with all the men possessed by demons.

Synopsis
Castiel finds Crowley, and with the help of Jo Harvelle the brothers enter his house which is protected from angels by Enochian symbols. To their surprise he shoots his henchmen and gives them the Colt, stating that he wants Lucifer dead because he believes that eventually Lucifer will kill all demons after the humans are dead. Back at Bobby's place, Bobby takes a photo of himself, Sam, Dean, Ellen, Jo and Castiel, as he believes that this might be their last night on Earth. When the team arrives in Missouri, Castiel sees reapers everywhere. He tries to find out why they are there and is captured in a ring of flaming holy oil by Lucifer, who tries to convince Castiel to join him. Meg arrives and sends hellhounds after the brothers and the Harvelles, and while trying to help Dean, Jo is severely wounded. While taking shelter in a hardware store, Dean calls Bobby, who tells him the Reapers are in town because they are waiting for their boss to show: Death, one of the Four Horsemen. Realizing she won't recover from this, Jo suggests they build a bomb to blow up the hellhounds, using her as bait to lure the demonic dogs. Ellen volunteers to stay behind, too, so she can let the hellhounds in and set off the bomb while Dean and Sam escape. After a tearful goodbye with Dean, Jo dies in Ellen's arms, who then blows up the building, killing herself and the hellhounds.
The brothers find Lucifer having killed all the women and children in the town as part of the ritual to summon Death, and with all the men possessed by demons. Dean shoots Lucifer with the Colt. However, he recovers instantly and reveals that there are only five beings the Colt can't kill — and he happens to be one of them. Lucifer sacrifices several demons to summon Death, stating that "they're just demons." Meanwhile, Castiel manages to free himself from his trap by throwing Meg into the flames and walking over her, and takes the brothers to Bobby's. There, Bobby throws the picture showing them all into the fire as if it is a Hunter's funeral pyre and together with the brothers, grieves silently over Jo and Ellen's death.

Quotes
Dean: Uh-huh, okay, and why exactly would you want the Devil dead?
Crowley: It's called -- survival. But I forgot -- you two, at best, are functional morons—
Crowley: Number one, he's going to wipe us all out anyway. Two, after you leave here, I go on an extended vacation to all points nowhere. And three, how about you don't miss, okay! Morons!
Dean: Sam Winchester, having trust issues with a demon. Well, better late than never.
Sam: Yeah, and thank you again for your continued support.
Jo: Are you giving me the last-night-on-earth speech?
Dean: What?
Jo: What?
Dean: No... If I was, would, uh, would that work?
Jo: No. Sweetheart, if this is our last night on Earth, then I'm going to spend it with a little thing I call self-respect.
Castiel: I came alone.
Lucifer: Loyalty. Such a nice quality to see in this day and age. Castiel, right? Castiel. I'm told you came here in an automobile.
Castiel: Yes.
Lucifer: What was that like?
Castiel: Um. Slow. Confining.
Dean: When have you known us to ever make anything easy?
Ellen: No, I—I won't let you.
Trivia & References
Dean: Going down? Right. Okay, Huggy Bear, just don't lose him.
- Huggy Bear was the name of the streetwise pimp who acted as an informant for Starksy and Hutch on the '70s TV show.
- The Hardy Boys are brothers and amateur detectives in the boys' own adventure children's books. It is also the nickname given to Sam and Dean in the recaps on TWOP.
- Possibly a reference to the drinking game between Gimli and Legolas, in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Ellen: Reapers? As in more than one?
Castiel: They only gather like this at times of great catastrophe. Chicago Fire, San Francisco Quake, Pompeii. Excuse me, I need to find out why they're here.
- References to three famous historical disasters which resulted in great loss of life: the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, and the destruction of the Roman city of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Reapers gather again in Chicago in 5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight in anticipation of Death's plan to unleash a storm and natural disasters on the city, killing millions.
- May be a reference to the line in the Doctor Who serial "The Tenth Planet" in which the First Doctor remarks that "this old body of mine is wearing a bit thin" prior to his first regeneration.
Dean: You mean like, as in this dude and taxes are the only sure thing?
- This is a reference to Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
Bobby: Not this guy. This is—this is the angel of death. Big daddy reaper. They keep this guy chained in a box six hundred feet under. Last time they hauled him up, Noah was building a boat. That's why the place is crawling with reapers. They're waiting on the big boss to show.
- This is a reference to the story of Noah's Ark and the Biblical deluge, as told in the Book of Genesis.
- "Kick it in the ass" was a catchphrases of the late Kim Manners. Samantha Ferris related in her blog how the line came about:
The shout out to Kim Manners was an idea from one of the Camera guys, Brad. He came up to me quietly on the down low before we shot that piece where i say goodbye to Dean and said, "hey, when you turn around to say "don't miss" try one where you say "kick it in the ass" ". The line was just supposed to be "....and Dean, don't miss". We did both. They put both in. It was a bittersweet moment for the cast and crew. Robin the props gal cried......Kim is/was and will always be a very loved and missed man. Especially on that set.
- Sam telling Lucifer that he is going to rip his heart out may be a reference to The Prophecy In this movie the only way to kill an angel was to remove its heart.
- A reference to It's a Wonderful Life, in which the angel Clarence shows Jimmy Stewart that life is worth living, and then finally gets his wings and goes to heaven.
Minutiae
- Anti-God is anti-American, seen on a giant billboard as Sam and Dean drive into the empty town.
- Jesus Saves, on what appears to be a movie theater billboard when Castiel is looking for the reaper he sees in the window. "Jesus Saves" is also the name of a song by the thrash metal band Slayer.
