Zachariah: Maybe we let it happen. We didn't start anything, right Sammy? you had a chance to stop your brother and you couldn't. Why quibble over who started what. Let's just say it was all of our faults and move on. Like it or not it's Apocalypse Now and we're back on the same team.
Let's just say that Zach is a lousy coach who doesn't fill anyone with confidence. Dean showed Zach the door with a trick he learned from his friend Cas. To make a long episode short, it turns out that Dean is the vessel for the angel Michael and Zach wants Dean to just let the Angel in. He goes as far as to give Dean cancer and take out Sam's lungs and when it was getting fun Castiel shows up (good trick given he was recently a tooth in the prophets hair) and sends a few angels a packing. Zachariah looked like someone had ruined a good plan:
Zachariah: How are you......
Castiel: ALIVE? That's a good question. How did these two end up on that airplane? Another good question, because the Angels didn't do it. I think we both know the answer don't we.
Zach: No, that's not possible.
Castiel: Scares you--well it should. Now put these boys back together and GO--I won't ask twice.
Zach did just that, he left. Then we find out that Lucifer is about to score a vessel and it's time to get to work.
I have to mention that one of the helpers tonight was a clavicle caressing slash writer Becky who stayed around long enough to touch Sam and state her disappointment on Dean. Slash writers...gotta love them.
There were two stories going on. The brothers and Lucifer. Lucifer was selecting a lucky volunteer to be a vessel. We got to meet Nick/future home of Lucifer, who has had a tragedy and isn't dealing well with the loss of his wife and baby. Lucifer came to Nick in the form of his wife and made his pitch:
Lucifer: You call me Satan and Devil but do you know my crime? I loved God too much, and for that he betrayed me--punished me. Just as he's punished you. How could God stand idly by while that man broke into your home, butchered your family in their beds? There are only two rational answers, Nick. Either he's sadistic or he simply doesn't care. You're angry, you have every right to be. I am angry too. That's why I want to find him, call him accountable for his actions. Just because he created us, doesn't mean he can toy with us like playthings...I can give you the next best thing--God did this to you Nick, and I can give you justice.
I know that Lucifer was sort of talking about Nick but it was really about his obsession with a God that didn't love him enough. I almost expected him to say "if he won't love me over everyone else, then no one will be able to love him once I've finished with him." Sure he mentioned justice for Nick but it was really only about what he wanted for himself. I can see why the angel Michael kicked him to the basement.
I forgot about Bobby. As soon as he rejected Sam I knew there was something wrong. It got Sam to leave and Dean alone to face a posessed Bobby. What the demons didn't count on was Bobby making the self-sacrificing choice to ruining Meg's party. Yeah, Meg's back and she took the time to lip lock with Dean before having Bobby kill him. Bobby wouldn't ever give up on Sam and he took the time to make sure Sam knew that.
The last scene had Dean vent about his lack of trust for the brother who chose a demon over him. I wonder how long it will take Dean to get over that hurt?
Things I loved the best about episode 5.01:
Becky caressing Sam's firm chest.
Bobby being the worst patient on the planet.
Chuck plucking the tooth from his hair.
Castiel telling his former superior Zachariah to 'shoo'.
Castiel kicking some Angel ass.
Bobby telling Sam he'd never give up on him.
Now a few questions:
How did Castiel get re-created?
If the Angels didn't put Sam and Dean on that plane, who did?
Did Sam really get some spiritual methadone in that short trip?
Can Dean forgive Sam?
