Without me, you got zero shot at killing Lucifer. Sorry. But... you can trap him. The cage you sprung Lucifer from, it's still down there, and maybe, just maybe, you can shove his ass back in. Not that it'll be easy. You got to get the cage open, trick my bro back into it, and oh yeah, avoid Michael and the God Squad. But hey - details, right? And here's the big secret, Lucifer himself doesn't even know. But the key to the cage, it's out there. Actually it's keys, plural, four keys. Well, four rings from the Horsemen. You get 'em all, you got the cage.

This Cage was designed after Lucifer's rebellion. It was built and constructed to contain [[Lucifer|archangel Lucifer]] because of his disobedience towards God's orders and for his lack of faith in God's plans. He was banished here by [[Michael|archangel Michael]], and [[God]] attached 600 Seals on the Mouth of the Cage, 66 of which needed to break for the Cage to open. The gates of this prison are secured by the 66 Seals. The Four Horsemen all own an individual Ring that, together form a key-like device that when activated, can reopen his Cage. The Mouth of Lucifer's Cage is somehow interconnected with St. Mary's Convent. Although, after the activation of the Four Rings, this Cage can reopen anywhere as shown when Dean opens it in a hotel room via the Rings, and again when Sam uses the Rings and reopens the Cage at Stull Cemetery. Soon after the re-imprisonment of Lucifer and imprisonment of Michael, [[Raphael|archangel Raphael]] attempts to summon them back to Earth by unspecified means so that they can end the World as scripture dictates<sup>[[6.03 The Third Man]]</sup>

In preparation for confronting Lilith, Ruby encourages Sam to drink the demon's blood (killing the woman it is opened after possessing in the process). At [[St Mary's Convent]], Sam killed uses his powers to kill Lilith, releasing only to have Ruby reveal that Lilith is actually the final Seal holding the Cage secure. With Lilith's death the Cage opens and Luciferis freed.

Sam and Dean try to kill [[Lucifer]] with the [[Colt]] but fail, and are desperate for a solution. <sup>[[5.10 Abandon All Hope]]</sup> In a hidden message recorded on a [[Casa Erotica]] DVD, [[Gabriel]] reveals posthumously how Sam and Dean can trap [[Lucifer]] back in his cage. The keys to the cage are the rings worn by the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]].
Lucifer starts to beat Dean, taunting him, saying he will kill him slowly and make Sam feel it. Dean doesn't resist, just telling Sam he won't leave him. As he goes to land another blow, he glances at the Impala, and suddenly all Sam's memories of life with Dean rush at him, allowing Sam to take control over Lucifer. He tosses the Horsemen's Rings to the ground, recites the incantation to open the Cage. He and Dean look at each other one last time, but as Sam goes to throw himself in, [[Michael]] reappears. Michael tries to stop him, but [[Sam]] drags him into the chasm too, and it shuts.
