Last time on Supernatural, Castiel (Misha Collins) almost died, thanks to a yellow-eyed prince of hell, Mary (Samantha Smith), and the Men of Letters. Crowley (Mark Sheppard) helped too, by giving Ramiel an angel-killing lance, but redeemed himself by using it to cure Cass when he was on the brink of death. He put Ramiel in a cage, before revealing it was really Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino). Richard Speight Jr (The Trixter/Gabriel) directed this episode, and the tone was as different as he is.

THE ROAD SO FAR: This season on Supernatural, the boys have been to hell and back – literally. But that is usual, isn’t it? They got rid of the Mark of Cain, but released the Darkness, Amara (Emily Swallows), who appeared in the form of a baby. She grew up with Crowley (Mark Sheppard) for a while, feeding on souls, but left because she wasn’t interested in his goals. Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) spent the season hunting Amara, yet working cases. They tried talking to Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) in the cage with the help of Rowena (Ruth Connell) and Crowley. Castiel (Misha Collins) said yes to Lucifer to stop Amara after Sam said no. Metatron (Curtis Armstrong) redeemed himself by writing God’s autobiography after Chuck (Rob Benedict) revealed himself, giving it to the Winchesters. He then sacrificed himself to save Lucifer, mankind’s only hope. After God and Lucifer hashed out their father and son issues, Amara came and mortally wounded God.

Supernatural is winding down its 11th season, and it has been all about the darkness named Amara (Emily Swallow). God’s sister had been trapped for eons, until Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) mucked it up and let her out. They gambled with some bad beings, as usual, but Crowley and Lucifer and Rowena (Mark Sheppard, Mark Pellegrino, Ruth Connell) put together could not stop her. The brothers are trying to figure it out, but are still doing one-off cases in small town America – just another hunting day.

Last week’sSupernatural was a Sam/Lucifer (Jared Padalecki/Mark Pellegrino) love story as Lucifer hosted a “This is your Life” montage. We got to see the season 5 finale when Sam/Lucifer and Adam/Michael fell into hell. I think he genuinely can beat the darkness, but if it means Sam has to say yes…
Surprisingly, he does not. But that Lucifer is wily. At the last second, he got Castiel (Misha Collins) to say yes, so Lucifer got dressed in a Castiel suit. And then killed Rowena (boo!!).

Supernatural is back and so is the Geeks of Doom coverage of this guilty pleasure! When the fall finale ended last December, we found Sam (Jared Padalecki) trapped in the cage with Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino – squee!!! I will watch him in anything!). Sam thought God (actual God, not Geeks of Doom) had been sending him visions that Lucifer was the answer to the Darkness (Emily Swallow) problem. Oh Sam. Have you learned nothing? God (or Chuck) is missing. It was Lucifer the entire time. Rowena (Ruth Connell) had been helping to loosen the cage on the sly. He wants Sam to say “Yes.” Sound familiar?
