Tablets
,dashes
The Word of God was inscribed on a series of tablets that were dictated by [[God]] during creation "for the defense of mankind." [[Metatron]] is the [[angel]] who recorded God's word on a series of tablets. [[Crowley]] described Metatron as "The scribe... and suck-up. Took down God's word, picked up His cleaning." Metatron's personal note on the [[demon]] tablet reveals that there is a compendium of tablets about a variety of subjects, presumably on all the creatures that God created.<ref>[[8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin]]</ref> Metatron disappeared after completing the tablets.<ref>[[7.21 Reading Is Fundamental]]</ref>
[[Castiel]] says that if the Word of God is revealed a [[prophet]] will be awakened - – this prophet turns out to be [[Kevin Tran]].
The first tablet in the series was excavated by [[Dick Roman]] in Iran and describes how to kill the [[Leviathan]]. Sam and Dean use it to kill Dick Roman, but the spell they use transports Castiel and Dean to Purgatory.

Metatron approaches Castiel to talk about the situation in [[Heaven]]. He's done some investigating and found many factions all at war trying to gain control and that [[Naomi]] leads just one of them. Castiel feels responsible after all the destruction he wrought in Heaven. Metatron invites Castiel to join him for some crepes at a restaurant. He tells Castiel that he thinks they should close Heaven off from Earth - – to force the angels to sort out their issues, and also to prevent any of their conflict from causing damage on Earth. He says that the angel tablet contains [[trials]] which when completed will close Heaven. As the Scribe of God, Metatron knows them without the tablet. Metatron says he's just a writer, but that Castiel is a warrior.
Castiel agrees to undertake the trials - – even though Metatron warns that they will be more difficult than Cas can imagine. He then points out [[Jane]], the young woman who has been their waitress. Metatron reveals the first trial is to kill her and cut out her heart because she is [[Nephilim]] and considered an abomination. That night, the two angels trail her to kill her, but she reveals her knowledge of what they are and begs them not to kill her. As she is an innocent woman, Castiel hesitates, but when she attacks him and Metatron, Castiel kills her with his [[angel blade]] while she attacks Metatron and completes the first trial.
