Warning: Spoilers
After Pamela's funeral, Sam and Dean follow a fresh trail to Cheyenne, but they meet Castiel and Uriel. They tell that seven angels from their garrison had been murdered and they want Dean to torture Alistair to know the name of the demon responsible for the deaths. Dean refuses but they force him, telling that he is the most qualified interrogator. Dean begs to Castiel to call off the assignment but the angel tells that he was ordered to do that. Meanwhile Sam meets Ruby and drinks her blood to increase his power. Alistair incites Dean recalling the period that he was in hell and tells that he had been the first broken seal. Meanwhile Anna questions the faith of Castiel raising doubts in his judgment. When the demon trap is broken, Alistair overpowers the trap and attacks Dean; however Sam arrives and uses his power to get the requested answer from the powerful demon. They discover that the angels might have been murdered by a traitor and not by demons.

"On the Head of a Pin" is one of the best, if not the best, episode of this excellent Fourth Season. In this engaging story, there are many revelations, like for example, how Sam is empowering; how Dean is weak after the period he spent in hell and why the angels have rescued him; and the most important, who is killing the angels to help the ascension of Lucifer. The return of Anna could not be better. My vote is ten.
