Episodes

14.01 Stranger in a Strange Land

Kipling meets with Castiel at a bar, after ordering himself coffee and a Texas Trinity and a water for Castiel. The two begin discussing why Castiel called to meet, learning from Castiel that Dean Winchester has gone missing, Kipling refuses to answer unless given incentive. Castiel demands any information Kipling may have on Dean's whereabouts, threatening to burn him to ash where he sits. Unfazed, Kipling makes a gesture and the patrons in the bar become possessed by demons and proceed to beat Castiel into submission.

With Castiel restrained, Kipling places a call to Sam Winchester. When Sam arrives, Kipling reveals that his demons have captured Jack and Maggie. Wanting to get to the point, Sam wishes to know what Kipling wants. Telling Sam with both Crowley and Asmodeus dead, here is a power vacuum in Hell, and he wants to declare himself king and strike the same deal Crowley had -- in exchange for occasional aid and information, the Winchesters turn their heads to the demon on demon violence and crossroads deals. Sam, however refuses, angering Kip who gives Sam one last chance to agree. Steadfast in his refusal to deal with Kip, Kip and the other demons are caught off-guard by Bobby and Mary bursting through the front doors. As a brawl ensues in the bar, Kipling and Sam face off. When Kipling gets the upper hand and a hold of the demon-killing knife, Sam is able to surprise Kip, and force the knife into Kip's chest, killing him.

Trivia

• It is implied that Kipling got the idea to become King of Hell from a meeting with Michael who asked him what it was that he wanted, much like Michael had done with Jamil and Sister Jo in the episode.
