How many fans lost it when Chuck showed up like 'Hey! I'm God. Sup?' Because I did. I feel this was either a long time joke that turned real or a plot planned out long ago. Probably the first though, I'm just saying. Either way, Supernatural decided to throw their fans a bone. It was pretty cool, considering. However, I have a huge complaint. Where. Is. Gabriel? I refuse to believe he's really dead. With how often Cas got brought back, I'm just saying. Gabriel lives! I believe in him!

All right, so, Chuck reveals himself as God to Metatron, of all people, because he's working on a new book. His new book needs an editor, which Metatron is actually good at. The back and forth between the two was pretty magical. To see Metatron push Chuck to the breaking point? To see Metatron own up to everything he did? To demand answers? Yeah, this was a cathartic episode. The once Scribe of God had a lot of valid points, why walk away? Why abandon them? You can't just walk away from something and not expect consequences. It's been many seasons coming that we finally find God, or rather Chuck grew up enough to come back. For years we have asked for a sign, or for God do show up and fix his mistakes. Looks like the season finale is gearing up for just that. A showdown between Amara and Chuck? Yeah, that'll be interesting.

Sam and Dean are not aware of this. Our boys are chasing a lead. That fog from the beginning? It's back, kinda, it's just more vicious. The boys get trapped in a Police Station by said fog, and it's a message for Dean from Amara. Nothing says romantic like killing innocent people. They get a group of people locked in a room, but the vent isn't covered properly, so guess who gets hit by the fog? Sammy. Dean is immune to it, because Amara isn't about to hurt her squeeze. Sammy is going to die, apparently. Isn't that how this always goes? Sam or Dean are either dead or on the verge; one can't handle losing the other, so they fight. Dean does fight, he yells at God. And you know what? It finally works.

Remember the amulet Sam gave Dean forever ago? And Dean threw away? He didn't. Sam had it this whole time in his jacket. When the amulet starts glowing, Dean finds it, and suddenly the fog is just gone, everyone is okay. The self deprecation and pity party Chuck was having seems to be over. He appears in the street and, yeah, they do have much to talk about.

The important thing is that Sammy is safe. Chuck is, well, being an adult, and Dean is Dean. With just a few episodes left, so much needs to be resolved. More importantly, Gabriel needs to come back. Oh, and saving Casifer is probably important too.
