5.03 Free To Be You And Me

Raphael posseses his vessel during a skirmish with demons at a gas station in Maine. The vessel was left in a catatonic state after he returned to Heaven. However, Castiel is able to summon Raphael using an Enochian invocation, to interrogate him as to where God is, while trapping him behind a wall of holy flame (made by igniting some holy oil that Castiel obtained from Jerusalem).

Raphael tells Dean and Castiel that God is dead, and that the heavenly hosts are tired of waiting and want to bring forth paradise on Earth. Castiel did not believe Raphael and questioned who was it then who resurrected him after he was destroyed by Raphael. Raphael asked Castiel has he considered that it could be Lucifer. After all, Lucifer needed all the rebellious angels that he could get his hands on.

Castiel and Dean then leaves Raphael, but was warned not to leave him in that state. Raphael threatened to hunt down Castiel, to which he replied "Maybe one day. But today, you're my little bitch!".

Raphael in Lore

The name Raphael means "God Heals". Raphael was the Archangel who bound Azazel according to the Book of Enoch. Raphael isn't mentioned in the canonical Bible but was mentioned in the Book of Tobit.

In the Book of Tobit, Raphael healed Tobit of his blindness and delivered Tobit's daughter, Sarah, from Asmodeus. To Catholics, Raphael (venerated as Saint Raphael) is the patron saint of doctors, medical workers and travelers.

In Islam, Raphael (or Israfil as he is called in the Arabic language) is the Archangel who signals the start of Judgment Day.
