"Supernatural" Recap: "Hell's Angel"

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

Well, Rowena is alive. Why am I surprised? I legit shouldn't be surprised, but I strangely am. She's clever enough that this should have been obvious. So, if Rowena was clever enough to survive Lucifer, I'm pretty sure Gabriel is too. I don't care what anyone says, I will forever hold onto hope that he's still out there.

Speaking of Rowena, seems she's helping Amara get back to normal. While the Angel Smite of Death didn't kill her, it did injure her enough that she needed to be healed by a Witch. And well, Rowena is just the right girl for the job. I have to admit, though, her betraying Amara to help Crowley and the Winchesters? Kinda brilliant. Yes, she's self serving, just like her son, but she's at least a great plot device!

Speaking of, Crowley has found the Horn of Joshua. He's made a simple offer, lock Luci back up and he'll help defeat the Darkness for good. This was so going to back fire and we all knew it. Seeing Lucifer trapped was almost as fun as seeing him in Heaven though. Misha does an amazing job portraying Mark's Lucifer, and the scene with him trapped in the fire trying to charm is way out of trouble with the boys was priceless. When Cas failed to expel Lucifer, Crowley dove in to help. Knowing Luci was leaving Cas alone really was a relief. This, sadly, back fired too, and soon we were facing the real Lucifer....a very angry Lucifer. It wasn't God or Gabriel or even Rowena or Crowley to come to the rescue, it was Amara herself. She freed our boys and vanished with Casifer.

The Darkness has a bone to pick with Lucifer, and she's going to do just that. Of course Lucifer tried using the Horn of Joshua against her. But even an object touched by God is no match for the Darkness herself. Amara frees Sam and Dean before taking Casifer and vanishing. She has no interest in Castiel. She'd trusted Lucifer once, and he betrayed her, just as he's betrayed every one and everything he's ever come in contact with. Amara believes that if she hurts Lucifer enough, God himself will come to the rescue. Is she right? Probably not. Let's face it, God hasn't cared about the loss of his other children, why would the son he locked away be different.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
