Revision as of 03:11, 29 June 2021
Dates are tricky in Supernatural. Some dates are significant dates are made explicit in the script, but most are not. Sometimes dates that appear within an episode relate to the the date when an episode was shot rather than when the events are supposed to occur.
It is generally accepted by fans that the time covered in each season roughly corresponds to the air dates e.g. from September/October to May.
Dates here taken from killa's timeline and hells_half_acre's timeline, canon where available and some wild speculation. The episode an event relates to is included so readers can make their own decision.
See the timelines category for other alternative dates.

- Castiel joins Anna's garrison and was stationed on Earth. He watched the very first fish crawl onto land and an older angel told him not to step on it, because God had big plans for that fish.
- The Mark begins asserting its own will and begins to corrupt Lucifer, amplifying his jealously of mankind. When God instructs the angels that they should bow down to humanity, Lucifer refuses because he sees humanity as flawed and unworthy.

- Lucifer passes the Mark on to Cain. Unwilling to become the killer the Mark wants him to be, Cain attempts to kill himself with the First Blade, but is resurrected as a demon.
- Lucifer hand picks humans for Cain to turn into demons (of which include Abaddon), and has him create the demonic order known as the Knights of Hell.
- Having seen enough, God imprisons Lucifer with six-hundred seals, sixty six of which have to be broken for Lucifer to escape his confinement.
