"Supernatural" Recap: "Our Little World"

There are few things in this world that can make a crappy day better, Supernatural is one of them. Last night's episode is still blowing my mind. I'm literally not sure how I feel about everything, but I am questioning the meaning of life, religion, and why my hair isn't as fabulous as Amara's. Seriously, guys, her hair. I'd cut mine, but I promised future Shae that I'd never do what Past Shae did once. Some people look good with short hair, I am not one of them. Granted Amara's isn't short, it's just shorter. 

Still, our Darkness is wondering around the world, stealing souls from angsty teens and growing into one herself. It seems her hunger cannot be satiated, that is....until Uncle/Papa Crowley steps in. He's having his demons follow Amara with the simple task of killing the soulless humans she leaves behind. It's a good plan, and Crowley clearly cares for the girl. Either way, she's in some trouble. Going off and eating souls whenever she wants isn't something that's sitting well with the King of Hell. So he grounds her. Yep, the Darkness gets grounded, for the time being.

The boys are busy investigating the murders when they put the links together. Crowley may be cleaning up the mess, but he's leaving a trail. Sam and Dean are dead set on finding the two. Dean plans to kill Amara, and Sam is on this "no kill" thing, because reasons. Cas isn't doing too well, he's binge watching TV and suffering from some PTSD of his own. However, while the boys are out the Angel spots something interesting on the news. This leads him to finding Metatron, yes, the long awaited confrontation is about to happen. Sam and Dean are a bit busy though. They find the base they think Crowley is hiding Amara in and infiltrate. Which is a bit hard to do since, you know, Sam is trying not to kill any demons.

I guess he's trying not to kill their meat suits. Dean finds Amara while little brother fights three demons. Crowley shows up. After all, he's made a deal; he's offered Amara protection, in exchange for help when she's more powerful. Crowley always has a plan. Sadly, he's made a mistake. Threatening to finally kill Dean (which we all know he can't do), is something Amara is against. She uses her powers to nearly kill the King. A new deal is made, well, Amara decides to let him live if he lets Dean leave unharmed. Crowley agrees and vanishes and it's awkward. Amara and Dean have chemistry that can't be explained. She won't kill him, he won't kill her. Throwing Sam violently against a wall, however, not a problem for the Darkness.

It seems Sam is having visions again. Is he seeing the future? Is Lucifer calling to him? Or has God given him the guidance he requested in hopes of defeating the Darkness? The only one who knows more about this mysterious being is Metatron, whom is getting kicked around by an irate Baby in a Trench Coat. Castiel has had it with the Scribe's shenanigans, and he may be taking a few liberties with how he gets information. Cas is literally beating Metatron to a pulp. The now human finally cracks. Metatron explains that God didn't just snap things into existence. He had to make a sacrifice, a betrayal of biblical proportions. The Darkness happens to be God's sister, and yes this just got more complicated. It does explain the constant sibling rivalries throughout the Bible though. No wonder she's eating souls and doing what she wants. She's free. And she's out to settle a score....
