| |
| − | | |
| − | Chuck reveals his latest dream is of Sam and Lilith having "a night of fiery demonic passion." Sam asks Chuck if he knows about him drinking [[Demon Blood]], which he does, and he confronts Sam about why he is doing it.

The [[Archangel]] , and other angels, appear in pursuit of Castiel and Dean, and Castiel stays with Chuck to let Dean try and stop Sam.

| − | Sam and Dean arrive in Kripke's Hollow to find Chuck's house more chaotic than usual and also quite bloody. They ask if it's true that Castiel is dead. Chuck tells them, that [[Castiel]] practically exploded (one of Castiel's molars seems to have lodged in Chuck's hair). [[Zachariah]] and some of his "bodyguards" show up, and after a brief conversation in which they try to convince Dean that he should work with the angels again, because they want the same thing, namely [[Lucifer]] gone, Dean banishes them the [[Angel Banishing Sigil]].
