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?

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.
Furthermore, Tonis the one who tells them about the manual override switch outside of the bunker.
Yes, you read that right.
In day one of being trapped, Sam decides that magic is their way out.
Surely there has to be a spell that can help them break free.
He admits that he followed them simply because following was easier than leading.
Just like that, Dean gets an idea.
Its time for the grenade launcher!
Having hisDie Hardmoment, Dean shoots the grenade launcher at the wall, and it works!
He made it out, and all hes got to show for it is a bloody leg.
Once theyre free, Sam and Dean start calling hunters to warn them about the BMOL.
Dean gets in touch with Garth, but its Jody theyre worried about.
By the time they get to Jodys, Mary is already tied up.
It seems Jody took her down, and now, its Tonis turn to fix her.
Only, she cant.
Spoiler: She lied to make it save herself.
We will take down the bad guys, because thats what we do, Sam tells them.
Theyre scared of us, yeah.
With his injured leg, he wont be any good in a battle at least not a physical one.
Those, along with a hypnotic agent/sedative, are Deans best shot to get through to his mom.
Toni knocks them both out, and when Dean wakes up, hes back in his childhood home.
Sams still a baby.
Marys still a mother.
And Dean still loves pie.
Theyre the perfect family, but Mary cant seem to hear him.
Or rather, she doesnt want to.
Dean quickly realizes that Mary is ignoring his adult self.
She lied to him.
I had to be more than just a brother, Dean tells her.
And I couldnt do it.
I hate you, he tells her again.
I hate you and I love you.
Because I cant help it.
He knows what it is to make deals to save those you love.
So he forgives her and promises they can move forward, but only if she looks at him.
She has to see him.
(Im crying just writing about this scene.
For these two characters, this might be their most powerful scene yet.
And for the show in general, its definitely up there.)
Just as Dean gets through to Mary, Ketch shows up and rips him out of his unconscious state.
Tonis dead, and now Ketch is after Dean.
But just as Ketch is about to shoot Dean, Mary shoots Ketch.
Ketch is right about one thing: Dean and Mary are both killers.
And thats why she kills Ketch.
She informs him of Lucifers escape, but Sam has learned his lesson.
Well, I guess thats the end of that story!
Still, Mary is scared Sam wont be able to forgive her.
In that moment, Sam tells her she has nothing to be scared of.
Then we get a family hug to end the first hour.
(Needless to say, IKEA wins and weve all been there.)
Plus, its evident Castiel is very serious about this baby thing.
As for how theyll find them, they start looking for signs.
Apparently, when a Nephilim is born, crazy things start happening.
So, much like every other day, the Winchesters are trying to find something weird.
More on that later.
And Dean isnothappy to see him.
Dean punches Crowley and wants to know if its true: Did Crowley let Lucifer out?
Crowley then admits that he let Lucy go because he wanted to win.
Back at the house, Castiel is telling Kelly about the future her son showed him.
It was paradise a world without fear, without suffering.
And its what Castiel knows her son will bring.
At least, thats the hope.
As Kelly starts having contractions, the Winchesters arrive.
Mary sits with Kelly while Castiel, after healing Dean, gets to explain the portal out back.
As he puts it, its a tear in space and time, a doorway to another world.
Its a doorway to another earth, an alternate reality.
Once there, Castiel explains that this is a world where Sam and Dean were never born.
Or rather, Bobby explains it!!
This Bobby doesnt know Sam and Dean.
Armies of angels are fighting armies of demons, and humans are dying left and right.
These demons have horns!
The one good thing about this world is that Rufus and Bobby are still hunting together.
Also, theyve created angel-killing bullets, which are just practical.
But thats all Sam and Dean need to know before Castiel returns them to their world.
Its then that Crowley shows up with the answer to all their problems.
And so the plan begins.
Sam, Dean, and Castiel head out front to face Lucifer, whos back in all his glory.
But when Sam and Dean run through the portal, Lucifer is too intrigued not to follow.
And heres where things get emotional (again).
But…
Then Castiel charges into the alternate world to go after Lucifer.
How am I supposed to keep writing?!?!
She tells her sons she loves them before giving Lucy a beatdown hell remember.
She forces him back through the tear… but he pulls her with him.
So, just as the world is sealed off, Mary is stuck with Lucifer in the post-apocalyptic reality.
As far as the finale goes, my only complaint is that I want more Lucifer.
I was truly, truly shocked.
And I cant wait for next season.
