Supernatural Recap: I'm No Angel

Written by:  Shae

While it's sadly true; Misha Collins is in fact, not an angel. And Misha isn't even his real name! Yep, I'll I've you a moment to deal with those lies…processed? Good! This weeks Supernatural explored the more, human side of things. Castiel had his grace stollen, and is now completely human--but he's been human before? Yes, briefly in season 5. This time around, Cas get's to feel the full extent of what it's like to be human. There's no slowly losing his grace, this time; nope, it's sink or swim time.

Meanwhile! Dean nearly gets whiplash from Sam's being Sam one minute, and Zeke the next! Maybe a little warning bro? Brighter note; Sam does seem to be doing better, or so says the angel that's inside of him…that he doesn't know about…so many secrets!

There's also a new Angel Boss in town. He goes by Bartholomew (Bart for short) and boy is he angry. He's sending every angel with a vessel out there to find Castiel. This, of course, always ends badly for his angels. Cas still has an angel blade and still know's how to fight. Being human doesn't slow that down. Just makes him susceptible to cold, hungry, and the constant need to urinate (so time consuming). Bart, gets tired of his angels not producing results, mostly because Cas gets a nifty angel ward tattooed on his pretty stomach, so he enlists the help of some freelance Reapers.

One of which is sent to tail Sam and Dean. Bad idea; the boys always know when they're being followed. The Reaper proves useless, so he dies. Dean decides he's tired of trying to find Cas on his own and asks Zeke to help. Only, the angel seems to be unable to locate the wayward human.

Who, by all means, is totally not off with some nice hot girl named April, who offered to take Castiel in. Things got steamy…and then they got emotionally terrifying.  Because April, isn't as sweet as she seems. She ties our ex-angel up, and tortures him for information. The problem is, Cas has none. Sam and Dean arrive in just enough time to be thrown violently into things, then watch as April stabs and kills Castiel.

That's right. For 30 heart wrenching seconds we're left to believe that our beloved and favorite angel of all time is officially dead. (Tears were not involved…) Just before there's massive panic, Ezekiel saves the day! Okay, well, he saves Cas; at the cost of hurting himself further. Cas and Sam are both bewildered, but Dean smooths it over with more lies. Everyone ends up back in the Bunker and happy ending!

Okay, that last part's a lie. Zeke appears again and tells Dean that Castiel has to go. If he stays, the angels and reapers will find him. Sam still isn't strong enough to survive without Zeke so Dean's left with no choice. He tells Castiel that he can't stay and everything fades to black for the end credits.

Just like that, you're left with a sad empty feeling because, oh my Lucifer! Cas! And the feels! It's okay though! Next week's episode has Felicia Day! That's right, Charlie's back! We also get to see more of Crowley! See? Told you it got better!

What will happen to Castiel? Is Ezekiel really there helping Sam out? Will Crowley get free? And what about Abaddon! She's still out there! So many questions. All of course, eventually, will be answered. One episode at a time.
