There were 2 characters who stole the show this week (well 3 if you also count Lucille!! hahaha that was awesome!) but it was Lucifer and Crowley who really stood out..
MAJOR SPOILERS: I nearly got whiplash at the end of the episode. Mark Pellegrino's Lucifer had been doing such a delightful job as a belligerent captive, it was a pure joy to watch, but then he got free and I laughed out loud at the "now you made it weird" scene. When Crowley came back and Lucifer powered up with his Angel mojo and I was actually cheering Lucifer on. But Crowley snapped his comeback and within seconds I was cheering for Crowley. Brilliant, brilliant performances from both actors and brilliant, brilliant characters and writing that can leave you simultaneously cheering on two such opposing forces. This is why we love Supernatural.
For the other 9/10s of the episode there was also a Hell-Hound hunt. It was well done and the Crowley team up with the boys and usual injection of humour made it a fun monster of the week episode. On a side note: I was also pleasantly surprised that when the truth came out about Sam working for the BMOL, the boys didn't have a major dust up. I had been worried that the writers would go that way for added drama, but had felt it would have been out of place in the boys relationship these days. I should trust the writers more! We have had some really good moments so far in Season 12 and I am excited to see where the rest of the season takes us.
