First of all - the ninth season really goes the way I enjoy! Back to the episode: We start where we left the last time - death of the "P"rophet. The funeral - I think they killed me, so emotional it was! It reminded me the funeral of John a lot and it was so sad seeing Dean completely in despair. Later Castiel joins Dean in the bunker and together they discuss what Dean truly did to protect Sam. Meanwhile more information about Gadreel is told. Seeking for his rehabilitation Gadreel is capable of murder of his old-best friend, despite the fact he has his own family. Dean is ready to negotiate with the demon in the dungeon - Crowley himself. He requires "a massage" and all three of them (Castiel, Dean and Crowley) are on their way to catch Gadreel. They visit a "loyal demon" of Crowley, Cecily, who gives Crowley information about the ongoing wars in Heaven and in Hell. She finds Impala for Crowley as well and that means Gadreel is found. He is caught right after the murder of Abner ("friend" of Gadreel). Crowley begins with his art, trying to get to real Sam - but Gadreel is strong enough to resist. They have to choose a different strategy - Crowley suggests possessing Sam to wake him up in exchange for Crowley's freedom. The moment Dean agrees, so it happens. Sam rejects Gadreel who later possesses his ex-vessel, Crowley walks free - just in time for Abaddon's arrival. Castiel, Sam and Dean run away, Crowley faces Abaddon - he reminds her that not all of the demons are on her side (Vote Crowley ;) and then he vanishes. Dean chooses to leave Sam to avoid losses...
This episode was an excellent example to remind us why we love the show. There were so many characters in Road Trip, but it all worked together. I really enjoyed Gadreel's story, return of his ex-vessel and the scenes with Crowley - he surely is the charismatic King (Although i am a huge fan of Abaddon as well- You may not like her, but she's got style!)Now to the actors (I'm still clapping in my mind). I've already mentioned how strong was the opening, but Jensen keeps the high level all the time. As well as the others of course! Jared had the opportunity to give more space to Gadreel - and he was really scary. His blind faith that what he's doing is right - you wouldn't invite him for a cup of tea I think...Castiel taking Gadreel down- one of the best parts ever! The problem is I simply can't pick up the best moment of this episode - too many of them - "torturing" Gadreel, Crowley inside Moose's head, Cas vs. Gadreel, Crowley vs. Abaddon, Dean watching Kevin burn, Dean watching Sam suffer...The last scene, dear God!... Another thing to be mentioned: technical stuff - work with camera and light was awesome! And the location choices! The abandoned factory/warehouse where Crowley tries to rescue Sam - Did you notice the ventilator? (scene when Dean wants Castiel to humor him) It absolutely reminded me season 4 - On The Head of A Pin Dean vs. Alastair and of course Bobby's panic room - using the motive of ventilator was very clever.
Simply: Supernatural, you made my day! ....PS: And don't forget to vote! :D
