But not only did this episode bring back that whole Is Lucifer still alive?

plot, but it also gave us a major step forward in Jacks turn to the dark side.

(Also, could God come back into the fold?)

These are all things I love!

(If a love of cookies is a sign of soullessness, I could be in trouble.)

Cutting to the bunker, we continue with the theme of nights getting interrupted.

In it, Donatello asks for help before breaking into some ancient Hebrew.

They can save him…if they can find him.

So, what does Nick want?

To talk, he says.

Dean and Mary bring Nick back to the bunker, where Sam is anything but happy to see him.

Now, they just need to find Donatello.

Like I said, UH-OH.

Dean ultimately gets nothing out of Nick except a request to talk to Jack.

Nick then directs Sam and Dean to an abandoned warehouse.

Dean heads inside and leaves Sam to watch Nick at the car.

(Its almost like Sams never watched the show before.)

Nick hit him over the head with a rock twice.

And its going to take an ambulance 20 minutes to get there.

Jack, enraged, then burns Nick severely.

(According to next weeks promo, Nick isnt dead, but he also doesnt look good.)

Jack then rushes to Sams side and heals him before returning to Mary, whos rightfully worried.

And we all know bad things happen when Jack loses control.

Did Jack just kill Mary?!

And if he did, is there any saving him?

BUT THATS NOT ALL.

This episode also saw Castiel connect with Anael/Jo.

Why does Cas need God?

Because only God can restore a soul.

In other words, only God can save Jack.

Anael informs him that Joshua never spoke to God.

God only spoke to him.

She doesnt know how he did it, but she knows someone who was there.

Anael takes Castiel to meet Joshuas old roommate, who isnt exactly helpful.

And so they do, all the while getting to know each other.

It seems that back in heaven, Anael had a problem with Gods lack of meddling.

Why wasnt he helping his creation?

She never understood it, and thats why she performs miracles.

Just as theyre both about ready to give up on their search, Castiel spots a necklace.

Its an amulet!!!

Castiel tries to use it to ask for Gods help, but theres no response.

Apparently, it never worked for Joshua either.
