If you punch links we provide, we may receive compensation. And even though the episodes are standalone stories, showrunner Andrew Dabb sees the two-hour slot as an opportunity. Coming out of the finale, people will have a pretty good idea of where things are going. Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW When season 12 ends, Dabb hopes theyve created a finale thats a bit of both. Butwhatis happening in the finale isnt the only draw....

For all things Comic-Con 2017, visit our all-encompassingEW Comic-Conpage. First up, Collins addressed Castiels death, to which he simply promised fans, Im not going away. As he put it, Sam and Dean will handle things differently … In Deans mind, [Jack] just simply has to go. But because Sam is ever the optimist, he wont necessarily agree with Deans more practical approach. As Padalecki said, Jack is half-Lucifer but hes also half-Kelly Cline....

Jared Padalecki reveals which scripts made him cry AnySupernaturaldiehard can name their favorite seasons and episodes. (Heck, evenwe did.) Maybe you prefer the days of the yellow-eyed demon. Credit: Diyah Pera /The CW Maybe you love soulless Sam. Maybe you hate God? No, thats just crazy. Regardless, you have your favorites. And not surprisingly, those involved in the show have favorites of their own. One popular opinion among the cast is that season 5 was the pinnacle of the show....

The Winchesters take on Lucifer, and not everyone makes it out alive Guys. But I will say this: I really liked this season-ender. Am I emotionally shattered from those deaths? Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW Of course I am. Do I think theyll stick? Im not positive, but the fact that Im doubting it means this show is doing something right. Okay, lets start with the penultimate hour. And based on the text Ketch just sent her, Jody Mills is on her list....

Dean senses that somethings up, but Sam talks him down. Howd he find out? As for Lucy, he thanks Crowley. Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW After all, Crowley couldve put him back in the cage, but instead he decided he wanted revenge. So when Crowley refuses to help, the Winchesters call in Rowena. Their offer is simple: If she helps them locate Gavin, shell get to meet her grandson. Rowena agrees, and a matter of hours later, Gavin gets off a bus in Iowa....

And to generally sum up my feelings about it: I really, really liked it. (In their defense, Lucifer had inhabited the presidents body.) He believes they could be involved in a larger group, which means theyre to be interrogated. Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW No, were not talking about torture, because quite frankly, what havent these two already been through? It seems hes having trouble connecting with American hunters. In other words, American hunters are difficult, which Id say is an understatement....

You call for help, thats what. (Reminder: They need Gabriels grace to make it get back to the Apocalypse World.) But lets just say that doesnt go as planned. Credit: Diyah Pera/The CW And you know what? They might be willing to help. But first, Castiel has to have a conversation with…NAOMI! Shes back (with some awesome short blond hair)! As she tells Castiel, a drill in the head was never going to kill her....

As for Mick, he got all his werewolf knowledge at the school where he was trained. Think Hogwarts + the largest collection of occult lore in the world. They got rid of them all. Credit: Diyah Pera/The CW After all, Garths a werewolf, and he doesnt hurt people. But thats another conversation for another day. Tonight, theyre staying at the Wild Elk Lodge the BMOL is paying, of course. Although, I have to say: Sam and Dean figure out a lot in those motel rooms....

In other words, Lily Sunders Has Some Regrets left the audience with very few. We open on the angel Benjamin playing Rampage in an old-school arcade. Suddenly, a redhead with an eye patch and two angel blades appears. Credit: Diyah Pera/The CW Call your friends, the redhead whispers before driving the blade home. Ive waited so long. Dean clarifies: Im not pissed that he cares about us. But hes worried that Billie warned about the cosmic consequences of breaking their deal....

And then theres the woman who just slapped him in the face for not remembering her. However, Sam still doesnt quite realize the severity of the situation. (Mo money mo problems, as Dean puts it.) Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW But dollar bills werent the only thing in his stomach. There was also a hex bag, which, of course, takes us back to witches. As much as Dean loves Dory dont we all?...

Because season 12 has been incredibly referential (and reverential) to the ones that came before. Weve had the return of the Colt and the alpha vampire. Weve revisited the poor, doomed sons of Crowley and Rowena. Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW Weve examined Cas journey on Earth and why Marys struggling to find her place in the Winchester family legacy. First, the heavenly part. Cas wordlessly grabs the recording and bounces....

So lets get one thing out of the way: This was not a traditional episode. The fact that I dont know what to expect from a monster-of-the-week episode? Now thats a feat worth recognizing. Credit: Jack Rowand/The CW (Think:Reservoir Dogs.) And I loved it. I think the method of storytelling, although unconventional, worked perfectly. So, heres the deal. But when shes handed her next mission, she calls in Wally, a fellow hunter, for help....

Needless to say, Mary is probably going to regret sleeping with the guy. Oh yeah, did I mention that Mary SLEPT WITH KETCH?! Well get to that later. Credit: Dean Buscher/The CW We start with a flashback. So yeah, shes a female President Snow. It seems Eileen is helping with the Kelly Kline search. She promises to keep them updated. When he showed promise, they brought him aboard. And now, he seems to be questioning that upbringing....
