In a pivotal episode, we learn more about Castiel and Crowley.
Hey Crowley, do you remember that son you used to have?
You hated the bastard.
Guess if youre not all powerful, he doesnt want to go to Parent-Teacher Night.

Crowley was right to tell Amara to slow her ravenous appetite down.
Shes growing too ridiculously fast for the Winchester boys to catch up.
Cas is showing some weakness.
Hes having panic attacks, recalling the Attack Dog spell put on him by Rowena.
Now instead of binging on Netflix, hes watching trash TV.
By some miracle, Cas sees news footage of a murder captured by a stringer Metatron.
He confronts him, in an amusing and somewhat tense scene.
Metatron hints that the Demon Tablet is hidden so obscurely, Cas would never find it.
Cas then holds it up and states, You hid it under your mattress.
You realize you have bedbugs?
Metatron reveals: God has a sister, and her name is the Darkness.
Sam and Dean capture Crowleys assassin in a really brilliant move.
Dean also used an old Crowley voice mail as bait for his remaining demons.
As the demon rushed Dean, Sam tackled him from the side.
Id like to see more of this planning ahead and less blindly rushing into situations.
Unfortunately, we also eventually see an oldSupernaturalstaple: Sam being choked.
Guys, what is it with choking Sam?
Theres at least one montage on YouTube.
Go ahead, Ill wait.
A hand pokes through the bars.
Is this God, sending Sam these messages?
Or possibly Michael, the archangel who has been stuck in battle with Lucifer since an epic season finale.
Oh yeah, and the Winchesters had a half brother down there but everyone seems to forget.
Dean later hesitates to kill Amara, which leads directly to her escape.
Hes going to hear about that one from his brother for a while.
We can only wonder why Dean hesitated.
Is it because he believes what Amara said about there being a connection between them?
Only time will tell.
