- Castiel and Uriel ask Dean to torture Alastair for information. But when Alastair breaks free, Castiel starts to believe that there is a traitor among the angels.
- Uriel and Castiel forcibly recruit Dean to torture the captive Alastair. They need to find how, who or what is killing angels as one of another 66 Seals in which both Dean and his former captor play mind games against each other to break one another down. Sam is forced to call upon Ruby to help him find Dean before he emotionally cracks, while the rogue angel, Anna Milton, also returns to ask Castiel where he stands on his position as an angel of the Lord - does he obey all heavenly rules without question?—matt-282
- 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.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Car alarms of busted up vehicles, some flipped upside down, go off like crazy. Castiel (Misha Collins) silences them with a motion. He checks on a woman dressed in white, his sister, dead from a wound to her chest. He says goodbye to her as the police drive up.
The boys drive through the night. They're looking for Lilith. Dean (Jensen Ackles) is generally feeling gloomy, tired of burying friends.
They return to their motel room. Uriel (Robert Wisdom) is there. They're not happy he burned Pamela's eyes out. Some angels have been murdered, one tonight, Uriel says.
They need the boys' help making Alastair (Christopher Heyerdahl) talk. They're arrived at an impasse. They've come to his student, Dean. A qualified interrogator. ("Supernatural" meets "24"?) Dean's not excited by the request. But it's not a request.
There's a whoosh.When Sam (Jared Padalecki) looks around, they're all gone.
Castiel and Uriel have whisked Dean off to an abandoned building, where Alastair is tied to a rack shaped like a star of David, situated in the center of a Devil's Trap. Dean looks at Alastair on the rack, not feeling like pitching in on the torture parade. Dean asks Castiel what's going on. His superiors felt he was expressing doubt, getting to attached to his charges.
Cas says he'd rather not have Dean do what he has to either. But it must be done.
Dean wheels in a cart o' torture, while Alastair takes it all lightly. Dean just needs to know who's killing the angels.
Alastair invites Dean to untie him and rejoin him in the pit. He figures Dean must want payback.
Ruby (Genevieve Padalecki) stops by Sam's room. He tells Ruby that Dean physically can't get the job done. But Sam will be able to.
Alastair spins a tale for Dean about torturing his dad endlessly without John cracking. Unlike Dean, who broke.
Dean has been looking forward to this moment, he says, as he fills a syringe with holy water.
In the other room, Castiel listens to the screaming.
Ruby recites an incantation as she burns a map. She tells it to go out and the only part that doesn't burn is the part where Dean is.
Sam says it's been weeks, but he needs to be strong enough. Ruby says he can have it. She pulls out a knife and cuts her arm... and for the first time, we see where he's getting his strength from: he drinks Ruby's blood.
Dean continues getting to know Alastair with pointy things as the demon vomits blood.
A knob turns in the warehouse, apparently of its own accord, and from a pipe above water drips on the chalk line and the demon trap is broken.
Anna appears. She's not worried about Cas killing her.
Dean admires his handiwork as Alastair bleeds.
Castiel tells Anna (Julie McNiven) that Dean is doing God's work. She doesn't see how torture is exactly His doing. The orders are wrong and he knows it. But he's nothing like her. He tells her to go.
Alastair tells Dean about all the things he did in Hell. Dean responds by pouring salt down his gullet.
Sam drives.
Alastair tells Dean it was supposed to be John who brought it on, but it was Dean instead who broke the first seal, when a righteous man sheds blood in Hell. Well, that doesn't sound good at all.
Alastair tells him they had to break the first seal before they could break others. When they bring on the Apocalypse they'll owe it all to Dean.
Alastair notices the circle is being broken by a slow drip. Dean's ready to finish him off, but when he turns around, Alastair is free.
Some serious pummeling ensues, and Dean falls to the floor, broken and unconscious. Alastair picks him up by the throat and move to kill him. Cas breaks it up by trying to stake Alastair. He misses his heart and hits his shoulder instead.
Alastair goes after Castiel and some angels v. demons action breaks out. Castiel appears to lose, and Alastair pins him to the wall by his throat. Alastair can't kill Castiel, he says, but he can send him back to heaven. The demon begins an incantation, making Castiel's eyes and mouth glow as the spirit nearly comes out of him. He nearly finishes when he starts to choke on his words...it's Sam!
Using telekinesis, Sam twists Alastair's demon essence in him, finally delivering some effective torture.
He wants to know who's murdering the angels, and strangles Alastair, who claims the demons aren't killing angels. He dares Sam to send him back. Sam informs him he can do more than that -- now he can kill demons. Concentrating, Sam blasts Alastair into a lifeless heap. Castiel looks at Sam, shocked.
Later, Dean lies hooked up to life support machines in the hospital as Sam sits over him. Castiel walks by. Sam angrily demands a miracle.
Cas refuses. Sam says the whole thing was pointless, and says he believes Alastair -- the demons aren't killing the angels.
Castiel finds Uriel on a park bench. Uriel says he received divine revelation: The higher powers want the angels to stop hunting the demon responsible. Cas wonders if maybe Sam is right.
But then who could it be? The will of heaven, Cas says. Maybe the garrison is being punished. Maybe their father isn't giving the orders anymore.
Later, Castiel calls out for Anna. She shows up. He's considering disobedience. She's glad to hear it. She tells him choosing his own course of action is confusing. But she's not going to help him.
Cas sees a nearby spigot like the one that turned on and broke the devil's trap. He wonders. He goes back to the warehouse and examines.
Uriel meets him there, asking Castiel if he'll join him. Castiel says no one could have broken that trap. Cas wants the truth. The truth, Uriel says as he reveals a knife, is the only thing that can kill an angel is another angel.
It was Uriel, Castiel realizes too late. Uriel says their father stopped being that the moment he created humanity, his favorites. He still wants Castiel to join him, and Lucifer. Uriel only killed the ones who said no. Others have joined him. He asks Cas again to join him, to help bring on the Apocalypse. Uriel asks him to be unfraid. Castiel says for the first time, he is...as he slams Uriel through the wall. He gets up and fights back, socking Cas. Castiel tells Uriel he can't win. Uriel says there's no God. He moves to kill Castiel, but in the nick of time a knife plunges into Uriel's neck from behind. It's Anna. She kills him.
Castiel sits by Dean's bed, asking him he's OK. He tells Dean to be more careful. Dean asks if what Alastair said was true, did he break the first seal? Yes, Castiel says.
They laid siege to Hell when they learned of Lilith's plan for him. They were too late. But there's still hope: The righteous man who begins the end times is the only one who can stop it.
Dean says he can't do it, it's too big, he's not strong enough. Find someone else.
