Removed contrived coincidence because it\'s stated that Metatroon figured Sam would cast Gadreel out and the angel would return to his previous vessel. It\'s not a coincidence, Metatron is a chessmaster.

!Holy Terror

Written by Andrew Dabb.

Directed by Robert Singer.

Airdate: December 4, 2013.


Grieving for Kevin's death and Sam's disappearance - physical and otherwise - Dean calls in Castiel. Together the two of them have little choice but to ask Crowley's help in getting Sam back. In return Crowley demands a supervised, shackled outing. Together the three of them visit Cecily, a plant that Crowley has working at the NSA who puts them on the track of the Impala.

In Sam's body, Gadreel continues through Metatron's hit list. This is easy, even pleasurable, in the case of Thaddeus, an angel who had tortured him in Heaven and who is now occupying a teen pop idol. He has more difficulty with Abner, an old friend and fellow prisoner who tries to convince him that he can still make better choices. Nonetheless, Gadreel still kills Abner and Dean arrives just in time to see Gadreel washing the blood off Sam's hands.

Back in the Men of Letters compound Dean and Castiel have Gadreel bound, but the angel is defiant in holding onto Sam's body. Castiel can't possess Sam without consent that Gadreel isn't about to give, but Crowley reminds them that demons "can take what we want." At Dean's urging Castiel burns off Sam's anti-possession tattoo and Crowley goes in to tell Sam what has happened and get him to fight Gadreel.

In the aftermath, Abaddon appears to finish off Crowley. He challenges to an election for Hell's "hearts and minds" and disappears. Elsewhere Sam expresses anger and disappointment at Dean for lying to him. A shaken Dean resolves to hunt on his own from now on, leaving Sam behind.
