After their victory, Sam tries to convince Dean that this is what they’re supposed to be doing. Dean questions how they would earn enough money to drive around the country, staying in motels and eating at diners. That might be the life for Sam, but Dean doesn’t think it’s for him.

The next day at work, Sam can’t take all the phone calls so he takes an iron bar and beats his phone to death. He quits. Dean’s his boss walks into his office and offers him a huge bonus. However, hearing about the monotony of the corporate life after an exciting evening of ghost killing, he tells his boss that he’s quitting.

After hearing that Dean wants to go back to work, his boss is relieved and touches Dean’s forehead. The real Dean is back, and he’s starving. The boss is actually an angel named Zachariah, Castiel’s boss, who put Dean in this place to teach him a lesson about how he is always destined to be a hunter. Now Zachariah thinks Dean is ready for the fight ahead.

That’s an interesting twist, and one I certainly didn’t see coming. Like many others, I was predicting it to be the Trickster.


Next week on Supernatural: The brothers discover a book series called Supernatural, about their lives. In less meta news, Ruby offers Sam the opportunity to end Lilith once and for all.
