Written by Shae

THIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...

Oh my Moose! This mid season finally hurt my feels! So much happened! Okay. Firstly, at least we only have to wait until January, unlike most shows that are making us wait longer! Shall we get into this? Are you ready? I'm not ready. I'm still like "what just happened!?"

So, Sam has another vision, this time of actually meeting Lucifer in the cage. Dean, being smart, thinks that's the dumbest thing ever and isn't about to happen. Of course, Sam pushes, and finally a potential plan is made. It seems Amara is restless, so she's kind of causing some trouble. She's going around, smiting people with lightning, and eating souls. She has to be stopped. Dean is willing to give this "God talking to Sam" thing a shot if it means stopping the Darkness.

The boys visit Crowley to discuss the cage and see if Sam can safely talk to Lucifer. Only, Crowley doesn't know how to himself. Thus enter Rowena. Seems mommy dearest is willing to help, mostly because the Darkness is a foe even she isn't willing to let be free for much longer. The Witch will need to Book of the Damned and the Codex though. Sam supervises her research while Dean goes to investigate a church filled with soulless dead people. Dean promptly gets swept away by Amara. She explains a few things. 

She's trying to get God's attention, and all the souls she has eaten? They're alive, inside of her. Dean and Amara are going to end up together, it's destiny, he freed her after all. Because, nothing says "crazy" like saying things like that. The two are interrupted by a group of Angels. They've United against the Darkness, and she quickly kills them. Heaven isn't pleased and plans to smite her. Dean is suddenly back to where he had been before she's taken him.

Rowena found the spell she needs and a decision is made. She gets Crowley to get the ingredients while Sam attempts to get ahold of Dean. Unable to, he finally decides to go confront Lucifer himself. It's a daring plan, and so far, going okay. Just kidding! Lucifer isn't offering any help. Well, he is, but he needs a vessel. Random thought, where is Michael!? Where is Adam! They were in the cage with Lucifer too!? Well now so is Sam. The wards failed and Lucifer was able to pull Sammy in. The visions our little Moose has been having!? That wasn't God. It was Lucifer...and his little tricks worked. And that's it. For over a month we have to wait!
