Synopsis

Samandiriel is still being held captive and tortured by demons. He has a large pick protruding from his forehead, piercing his brain, and in a moment alone he uses telekinesis to push it out. Apparently, the pick makes it impossible for him to contact other angels. Once it's out of his brain, he tries to contact Naomi, telling her that Crowley has him. Before he can say anything else, though, his torturer returns and puts the pick back in his brain, making him scream in agony.

Meanwhile, Dean has traveled to Kermit, Texas, to find Sam, who hung up on him earlier. Sam is still mad at Dean for trusting Benny and insisting that the vampire killed the hunter Martin in self-defense. What makes him the most upset, however, is that Dean let him think Amelia, the woman he loved, was in danger so that he could save a vampire. Dean insists that Sam should have trusted him, but Sam points out that he wanted him to trust Benny, and he can't. When Dean asks him what they can do now, Sam tells him it depends on whether or not Dean is done with Benny.

Somewhere else, Castiel is busy healing people, like an infant with a hernia, when he is called to heaven by Naomi. She tells him that Samandiriel isn't dead like they thought. He needs to be rescued from Crowley, but she doesn't know exactly where he's being held. Castiel tells her that he'll need help because the demons will be warded against angels, and Naomi tells him to take what he needs, but to remember that rescuing Samandiriel was his idea: not hers or heaven's.

Castiel immediately finds Dean and tells him that they need to rescue Samandiriel from Crowley. When Dean asks him how he heard the Angela's distress call, Castiel tells him that he turned his "angel radio" back on because he's been helping people as part of his penance for what he did as "god."

Quotes

Dean: So who snatched Heaven’s most adorable angel?
Crowley: What on earth could you possibly need now, Viggo? I've given you every torture instrument known to man—short of a Neil Diamond album.
Kevin : I can't enjoy a world I need to save, Dean. I can enjoy it when this is all over with. For right now, there's nothing more important than this.
Mr. Hinkley: Are you serious?
Castiel: Yes, that is his serious face.
Dean: I’m just tired of all the fighting. And, you know, maybe I’m a little bit jealous. I could never separate myself from the job like you could. Hell, maybe it’s time for at least one of us to be happy.

Trivia & References

Torn and Frayed is a Rolling Stones song from the 1972 album "Exile on Main St."

When Castiel asks Dean for help, Dean open his laptop and it displays Bustyasianbeauties.com, one of his favourite Porn sites. Embarrassed, he covers it from Cas while he shuts it down.

Castiel: The amount of pain an angel must be in not just to manifest through shrubbery, but to burn— Dean, we have to find him before it’s too late.

Writer Jenny Klein confirmed that the "shubbery" reference was a shout-out to Monty Python source , and the famous Monty Python "Knights of Ni" scene from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Watch the scene here.
Samandiriel chants in Enochian. Castiel says that "Sol-voch-tay" translates as "obey". Crowley translates "Zoh-bah-leh-ta. Sah-teh-voch-leh" as “You, celestial being, have been created to be an angel of the Lord.”
