I-I'm his son.
Adam was our brother.
He died like a hunter. He deserves to go out like one.
Maybe we can bring him back, get ahold of Cass,
call in a favor.
These angels tell me that I'm chosen.
Michael... I'm his sword or vessel.
Hey, ass-butt!
- We're brothers. - God is doing this to us!
God was supposed to be gone.
What if I'm seeing Chuck's endings?
- Aah! - Eileen,
we can bring you back.
Ex spiritu incarnatum est.
Chuck is weak. I think we can beat him.
I can see it now... "The End".
It's God, Sam. How the hell are we
supposed to fight God?
You went easy on the rum this time, right?
Okay, cool.
'Cause, you know, you don't want me cranky.
Keep 'em coming.
Aah!
Sam!
Hey!
Were you tailing me?
You could have left a note.
You're... worried about me.
You... You think I'm being overprotective?
A little bit.
I got it!
The answer to all of our problems... maybe.
So, we know that Chuck is weak, right?
If we're to take our shot, now's the time.
But a weak God... is still God.
So, how the hell are we supposed to take him down?
Well, I was doing some thinking.
What if the answer is right under our noses?
The demon tablet?
Boom.
This was dictated by God Himself...
instructions on how to seal angels and demons
back into heaven and hell if...
if they ever tried to take over Earth.
Exactly.
But if Chuck was so freaking invincible,
then why wasn't he able to protect us
from the dick demons or even the dickier angels?
'Cause, remember, these babies were dictated
before he took a powder.
So, he was worried about humans,
if he couldn't protect them?
Yeah.
Like, if, for some reason, he were out of commission.
Which is weird, considering that
he's supposed to be untouchable,
unless he is not... untouchable.
So, he has an Achilles heel.
Well, I'm saying he has a weak spot.
Yeah, that's... that's...
These hunks of rock, they're... they're like a...
they're like an advanced directive, okay?
In case something happens to Chuck
because there is a crack in his invincibility shield.
So, you guys can read that?
No.
But I've got that handled.
I know you're in there.
Donatello, would you please?
Go away!
I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
What you're trying to do, it... it doesn't sound possible.
Look, we know that Chuck overpowered his sister,
the Darkness, and locked her up, so...
We may be able to lock him up, too.
Why don't you just kill him?
God has to exist
to maintain the balance of the universe.
Without him, creation would fall apart.
Right, so, the best thing to do is toss him in
solitary and throw away the key.
Okay, but the last time,
it took the power God to do this?
I mean, even if he has a hidden flaw,
do you have the power of God?
You know what? Uh, one step at a time.
You figure out how to lock him up,
we'll take care of the rest.
Oh.
And, guys, when I go crazy again,
just shoot me.
Stop it.
Oh.
This is interesting.
- What? - What is it?
There appear to be annotations, uh, personal observations.
By Metatron?
By the scribe, yes.
Uh, as if he were trying to give some context to God's actions.
For example?
"The Almighty guards his secret fear,
but it is always there."
Fear of what?
"Fear of what, I do not know.
This he shares only with his favorite."
Favorite?
Wait, his favorite... at the time... at the time
this was written, Lucifer had been cast down.
Michael sealed him in the Cage.
So Michael was the favorite.
Oh, yeah, a real daddy's boy.
But if Michael helped Chuck overpower Amara,
then maybe he also knows how to lock him up.
Perhaps, but even if we could get to him,
he wouldn't tell us.
I don't know. But I mean, if my dad kept me
locked up in a cage for 10 years, I might be looking
to get some payback. It's worth a shot.
Swell!
So, you guys talk to Michael.
Problem solved, right?
Not exactly.
Michael's in hell.
Yeah, he was possessing Adam,
Sam and Dean's half-brother, when he fell into hell with Sam,
who was possessed by Lucifer,
and then they were all sealed in the Cage.
What is it with you people?
Can anything you do be easy?
I mean...
But where's the fun in that?
This story just gets better and better.
Donny, you going crazy again?
Oh, Donatello's not here any longer.
Hey, guys.
It's Chuck.
Prophets speak the word of God, sometimes indirectly.
Sometimes they're my bluetooth.
So, here's the thing.
Usually, I really love our little... process.
I toss something at you guys, and you slam it right back.
It's fun, like tennis.
With monsters.
But this... Let this one go.
Or what?
Or I go all-powerful.
Maybe not on you.
Not right away.
But, let's see, there's...
Jody, Donna, Eileen.
Pretty much everybody on your speed dial.
So drop it.
'Kay?
Well, the bunker's warding is intact,
but it clearly doesn't withstand God.
How much do you think he heard?
He heard enough.
So... do we... drop it?
Donnie, I think it might be safer
if you went on home.
Really? I have to leave?
Oh, that's too bad. I'll, uh...
I'll just get my stuff.
Okay.
Like hell we're dropping this.
Donna, Jody... They're not safe.
They'll never be safe.
As long as Chuck is out there, it's only a matter of time...
Before he rounds them up and offs them.
Just to watch us suffer.
The only way to keep them safe...
To keep everyone safe... Is to take Chuck down.
Which is exactly what we're gonna do.
Are we seriously talking about going to hell
to try to speak to Michael?
Michael, who is in the Cage, and insane?
Yeah, and who told us that?
Lucifer.
And Chuck.
Now, I trust them as far as I can throw them.
But, Cass, if you wanna stay here,
why don't you stay here?
Here. Allow me.
Thanks.
Well, I think we're done.
It's exactly the spell Rowena used.
Just... without Rowena.
Alright, let's do 'er.
"Initium ad inferna...
permittatur."
Now where?
This way.
Sam.
Dean.
Ladies.
Look, we're not looking for trouble, okay?
We just wanna talk...
Aah!
Are any of us winning?
Stop!
Hello, boys.
You did say you wanted to see the one in charge?
Rowena, we thought you were dead.
Oh, I am, dear. Pretty much everyone here is.
When I closed the fissure, it did cost me my life,
and my soul went to hell.
Big surprise.
And the demons just... handed you the throne?
No one hands you anything, darlin'.
I took it.
So, why are you here?
Chuck.
He back, and he's outta control,
and we need to rein him in.
You want to rein in God.
We think there's a way.
Listen, we just need to speak to Michael.
Michael, the out-of-his-head archangel?
This just gets better.
Ahh.
Well, anyway, it doesn't matter.
What?
He won't be in the Cage.
Every door here was flung wide
when Chuck opened the fissure.
Your archangel could be anywhere in hell,
or out of hell, for that matter.
Rowena, we're running outta time, okay?
We need Michael yesterday.
Did you not hear the man?
Find him!
Eileen?
Oh, my God!
I didn't know if you'd pick up.
People are saying you're...
Dead?
Yeah.
Didn't take.
Clearly.
Uh, anyway, do you remember...
I'm Sue... Barrish.
We worked that ghoul case.
Yeah, I remember.
I'm, uh, following this vamp's nest.
They're migrating, looking for decent feeding grounds,
and, well, when they get stopped,
I'm gonna need help cleaning them out.
Where are they now?
Moving down I-80, towards Omaha.
I'm close to there.
So... you're in?
I'm kinda in the middle of something.
But if I'm free...
Cool! Uh, I'll call you.
Rowena, I...
Samuel, please.
You killing me was one of the best things
that ever happened.
Yes, there are things I miss about being alive.
Flesh-on-flesh sex.
Amazon doesn't deliver here... yet.
But, lads, I'm queen.
My subjects revere me.
Well, fear me, which is better.
I should have died a long time ago.
Samuel, be a dear.
Yeah.
What am I picking up from you two?
A wee tiff?
Tell your Auntie Rowena.
- It's fine. Don't worry about it. - It's fine.
Boys? Fix it.
I don't have many regrets, but the few I do still haunt me.
Making Napoleon so short was just bitchy.
Telling Mick Jagger he had no future when I dumped him.
And, well, everything with dear Fergus.
Then one day, you die, you go to hell,
they make you queen, and...
you can't make it right.
So fix it!
Thank you, my dove.
Milady.
Aye?
Michael... he's...
nowhere to be found.
Then where is he?
You know that stuff will kill you, right?
Worth it.
Michael, I haven't seen a burger in 10 years.
You know, I know I don't need to eat.
It just tastes so damn good.
I wouldn't know.
I don't know much about any of this.
You'll be my guide.
Thank you.
You got it.
So, what about you?
You gonna go back to heaven?
Uh, I don't know.
My brothers are dead.
My father never returned.
In so many ways, I'm alone.
Yeah. Same here.
It's not like I have family waiting to see me.
You have the Winchesters, your brothers.
I met them once.
And they let me rot in hell.
Family.
Family sucks.
Donnie, hey. How you doing, pal?
Listen, uh, we got ourselves a little situation here.
I thought I was off the case.
Off the case? No, come on, pal.
You're part of the team.
Oh. Gratifying.
Listen, have you, uh, sensed anything lately?
Uh, like...?
Like a-a surge of power?
But not... not God-like.
But almost God-like.
Uh, no, I don't think so.
Okay, well, we've kind of got ourselves an emergency here,
so, uh, if anything tickles your brain,
you let us know.
- Tickles my... - Gotta go.
Well, Donnie's got zip.
What about you?
Nothing that screams "archangel."
Yeah.
Eileen did good, right?
Getting us back from hell.
She doing okay?
Yeah. I guess.
You guess?
If she needs something from me, she'll tell me.
We have an agreement.
You have an agreement?
That's adorable.
Look, man, I didn't want to say anything, okay,
'cause I was kind of in a... In a bad place,
and, uh, yeah, I didn't want to jinx it or whatever,
but, you know, I tried the family thing, right?
Yeah, me too.
And that's not for us.
No, not really.
But I'm just saying if it was to work,
Eileen, you know, she gets it.
She gets us. She gets the life.
She's hot.
- Dean. I mean, I'm not even... - Look, all I'm saying is you...
You could do worse, okay?
And she could certainly do better.
Like, so much better.
I'm happy for you, Sammy.
Maybe I should pick up some kinda little job.
A little job?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, these are the same clothes we went to hell in.
We're gonna have expenses, right?
And whatever change I had, I spent on food,
so, it's not like I can go back to college.
Not with an archangel inside of me.
Hello, Michael.
Lilith.
You're dead.
Was.
Now I'm back, baby.
And I've been sent to fetch you.
I'm not accustomed to being fetched.
Who sent you?
You have to ask?
Your daddy.
God.
Yeah. He'd like a word.
You're lying.
Really not.
Then why would he send you,
a demon, a speck of infernal bile?
One, ouch.
Two, maybe because we worked together before.
Remember? Setting off the Apocalypse?
To try and bring God back.
Right.
Didn't work then, but then he came back on his own.
So, win?
If that's true...
If... he can come talk to me himself.
Yeah, except
I'm not supposed to leave without you.
Get out.
Michael.
I can't fail him.
Whoa!
Remember nothing.
Yo, Donnie?
I know where he is.
- Really? - I think he's in... Whoa!
There!
No, there!
There!
Damn it, Donnie!
He's hurtling all over, Dean.
There!
Alright.
He stopped.
He seems to be staying put.
Okay, where?
Cairo. Egypt.
Excuse me.
I need Bourbon.
Alright, well, good news is we know where he is.
Bad news is we can't get to him in time.
Not before he moves again.
Then we bring him to us.
Michael.
This is Castiel.
We didn't know each other very well,
and our last meeting was... unpleasant.
But I know you have been through
a terrible ordeal for many years.
You've been beyond the reach of heaven.
Been beyond the reach of Earth.
Much has changed with both.
Heaven is not what it was.
And your father...
your father is certainly not who you knew.
Michael, there's a battle raging, and you are a warrior,
but you must know the nature of this fight.
I'm not your enemy anymore.
Now we all have the same enemy.
God Himself.
Michael?
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Do you remember me?
You called "ass-butt" and set me on fire.
And then you helped send me to hell.
I did.
And now what?
You've come to tell me that God, my father,
creator of all things, is my enemy?
Or maybe you just came to beg forgiveness.
Oh, I didn't come to beg.
Castiel, what have you done?
Even for you... especially for you, this is stupid.
Good to see you, too... Mike.
Sam. You look well.
Last time I saw you in the Cage...
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
We need your help.
God... I've heard.
Repeatedly.
Well, then you're aware that...
I'm not aware of anything.
You're asking me to trust you... You, who doomed me,
you, who let Lucifer walk free while
your own brother sat in hell.
Doing what we do,
we've had to get used to losing people.
Probably too used to it.
With Adam, we said goodbye because we thought we had to.
We were wrong.
Well, don't tell me.
Tell him.
Hey, Sam.
Dean.
Adam?
Ha!
Wait, Mic... Michael lets you... talk?
I mean, he lets you be?
Uh, yeah.
In the Cage, we came to an agreement.
We only had each other.
Adam, look, I know we bailed on you, okay,
and there is nothing that we can say to fix that.
How about, uh...
"I'm sorry"?
Enough.
Why am I here?
Michael, we needed to speak with you
because God is back.
You didn't think the Cage just opened
on its own, did you?
If my father is back, he will usher in Paradise.
No, he won't.
Because Paradise is boring, and your dad...
He's just looking to be entertained.
Which means we're his puppets.
All of us, especially you.
I won't hear this.
You're lying.
I don't know what your agenda is, but you're lying.
Michael.
Hey.
It's Adam.
I'd give it a rest.
He's not listening.
So, I've been thinking.
Maybe they're not lying.
Ohh. H-Hear me out.
Sam and Dean try to be on the right side of things.
They actually do.
They tried to talk me out of taking you on,
for example, out of all of this.
So, you forgive them?
Oh, hell, no. No.
But that's not what this is about.
It's... Look, if they tell you something's off with God,
it's because they believe it's true.
And if they believe it, it probably is true.
You and I have been together for years.
My father and I have been together for eternity.
I exist because he willed it.
So he's having a mid-eternity crisis.
Or... Or, maybe you don't know your dad
as well as you think you do.
Oh.
Mm.
The point is parents keep secrets, right?
Does it hurt to ask the question?
Yes!
It would.
It would mean that I doubt him.
The good son, the favorite, doubts his father.
You still care about that?
After he left you in the Cage?
The vamps have stopped moving just outside Omaha.
They'll start setting up a nest.
We need to move on them before they get
their defenses in place.
Can you help?
I...
What?
Do you have to ask for permission?
Send me the directions.
I just texted them to you.
Son of a bitch!
Ohh!
Hey.
I was talking to a friend.
She's working a vamp case.
She's in trouble.
Okay. Let's go.
Adam?
Not this time.
I'll spare you the effort.
I'm not gonna betray my father and everything
I've believed in.
Why not?
You know, he betrayed you.
You know, Michael, I never really liked you.
Even when I was just another angel,
I thought you were too haughty, too...
To paraphrase a friend,
you had an entire oak tree shoved up your ass.
But now?
I'm looking at you, and I... I just pity you.
Because you were never God's favorite.
You were just a little part of his story,
a tiny part of his story.
You weren't even a star.
At least Lucifer knew that God can't be trusted.
But I guess he was always the smart one.
See the truth for yourself.
I'm a writer. Lying's kinda what we do.
Of all the Sams and Deans in all the multiverse,
you're my favorite show.
And you were right. I am a monster.
Wait, you're enjoying this.
Shh.
This isn't how the the story's supposed to end!
The story? Wait, what are you saying?
He's saying he's been playing us.
This whole time. Everything.
This is all you because you wrote it all, right?
Because we're your favorite show?
Because we're part of your story?
The Apocalypse, with Lucifer and Michael,
you knew everything that was going on.
Why didn't you just snap your fingers and end it?
Fine! That's the way you want it?
Story's over.
Welcome to the end.
Maybe you went too far.
Maybe.
I mean, he's been in lockdown for
quite a while, you know?
Maybe you just, uh, went too fast.
What's he doing now?
No idea. He was very distraught.
Yeah, but what exactly did he say?
"Leave. Get out. I want you dead."
We didn't bond.
Where's Sam?
Eileen hit a snag with a case.
So, he won't be gone long.
Michael.
God lied to me.
I gave everything for him.
I loved him.
Why?
I'm not even the only Michael.
Okay.
She said she saw vampires here?
It looks empty.
Look again.
Sue. You're okay.
Thank God.
Any time.
Hi, Sam.
So, yes, I will help you.
What was done in the darkness can be done to God,
if he's as weak as you say.
And I know how.
That's the spell.
And the ingredients?
Myrrh, cassia, rockrose.
We've got that.
And, to bind the spell together,
the nectar from a Leviathan blossom.
A Leviathan blossom?
What is that, like a flower?
A flower that only grows in one place.
Purgatory.
That's the door.
It'll remain open for 12 hours.
Now, if you'll please...
You coming with us?
No.
Before you go...
can I talk to him?
Yeah?
Adam, I want you to know...
we are sorry.
What happened to you...
You're a good man.
You didn't deserve that.
Since when do we get what we deserve?
Good luck.
