→15.08 Our Father, Who Aren't in Heaven
As they discuss what to do next, [[Lilith]] arrives looking for Michael on God's orders. Instantly taking control, Michael is skeptical of the demon's claims and intentions and causes her to vanish in a flash of white light when she insists. Noticing that the entire diner witnessed his actions, Michael erases their memories with a snap of his fingers.
After getting rid of Lilith, Michael begins bouncing all over the globe, finally ending up in Cairo, Egypt with [[Prophet]] [[Donatello Redfield]] sensing his movements. Castiel reaches out to Michael through [[prayer]], asking for him to come, acknowledging their past and the greater war that is taking place against God. Michael agrees to meet with Castiel in a factory, but is less than pleased to see his brother as Castiel called him [[assbut]], set him on fire and then helped send Michael to Hell. As Michael speculates if Castiel has come to beg forgiveness, Castiel surrounds the archangel in a ring of [[Holy Fire]]. As the Winchesters enter with the [[Angel Cuffs]], Michael angrily demands to know what Castiel has done.
Taken back to the [[Men of Letters ]] [[bunker]] in handcuffs, Michael calls their actions stupid and starts to comment on how [[Sam]] looks compared to the last time Michael saw him in the Cage. Sam cuts Michael off and insists that they need his help. Michael is incredulous that they want him to trust them when Castiel doomed him to Hell and Dean let Lucifer walk free while Adam was trapped in Hell. Sam explains that with what they do, they have gotten too used to losing people and with Adam they said goodbye because they thought they had to but were wrong. Michael then returns control to Adam, surprising the Winchesters that Michael lets Adam have control. Adam explains that he and Michael reached an agreement in the Cage where they only had each other.
Michael quickly retakes control and demands to know why he is there. Sam and Dean explain that they need his help because God is back and while Michael thinks God will bring paradise, paradise is boring and God only wants to be entertained meaning they are all his puppets, especially Michael. Michael refuses to listen, claiming that they are lying and returns control to Adam who states that Michael isn't listening. Alone, Adam attempts to convince Michael that the Winchesters might be right, pointing out that while he doesn't forgive them, they always try to do the right thing and maybe Michael doesn't know his father as well as he thinks. Adam finally gets Michael to admit that he won't consider the truth as it would mean that Michael - the Good Son, the Favorite - doubts his father. Adam questions if Michael really still believes that after God abandoned him in Lucifer's Cage.
When Castiel returns, Michael has retaken control and refuses to betray his father and everything he believes in. Castiel tells the archangel that he never really liked him, even when he was just another angel. Castiel always thought Michael to be too haughty and "to paraphrase a friend, you had an entire oak tree shoved up your ass." Castiel now pities Michael as he was never God's favorite but just a tiny part of God's story and figures that at least Lucifer knew that God couldn't be trusted. Enraged, Michael attacks Castiel who shows the archangel his memories of God's betrayal, the fight with [[the Darkness]], the murder of [[Jack]] and the [[Apocalypse World]] [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]].
Disillusioned, Michael later causes the bunker to shake and agrees to help. Michael provides Dean and Castiel with the spell that can lock God away, but it requires a [[Leviathan Blossom]] which only grows in [[Purgatory]]. With a snap of his fingers, Michael opens a twelve hour [[portal]], but refuses to come with them and help further. Dean removes the handcuffs and at Dean's request, Michael returns control to Adam so that Dean can apologize to his brother before Adam and Michael depart.
