Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFather Lehne, a priest possessed by Azazel, is named after Fredric Lehne, who played Azazel during the show's second season.
- GoofsThe newspaper with the article on the priest killing the nuns is dated for "Friday, October 16, 1972." However October 16th, 1972 was a Monday, which incidentally means that the 13th was a Friday, and thus would have made for a more thematically appropriate date on the article which would have actually been accurate.
- Quotes
[Castiel appears, slams Dean against the wall with a hand over his mouth and pulls out a knife. Castiel stares hard at Dean, who nods slightly. Castiel takes his hand off Dean's mouth, bares an arm and cuts himself, uses the blood to draw a sigil on the wall]
Zachariah: [appearing suddenly] Castiel! Would you mind explaining just what the Hell you're doing?
[he advances threateningly; Castiel slams his palm onto the sigil; Zachariah vanishes in a flash of light]
Castiel: He won't be gone long. We have to find Sam now.
Dean Winchester: Where is he?
Castiel: [handing Dean the knife] I don't know, but I know who does. We have to stop him, Dean. From killing Lilith.
Dean Winchester: But Lilith's gonna break the final seal!
Castiel: Lilith *is* the final seal! She dies, the End begins!
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: End Credits: When the episode ends, instead of fading or switching to a black-drop with the Executive Producers' names, a white back-drop appears as Lucifer's cage opens.

Season overall:
season 4 is debatable the best season of the show because it manages to have one of the most intense storyline that causes the Sam and Dean to fight. Their disagreement in this season feels less forced and more real than later brotherly melodrama the show comes up with. There is something more relatable to Sam's addiction than yet another contrived secret that one of them have kept. Apart from that the mythical arch hasn't fully taken over the show and the one offs in this are wonderfully daft and quirky. The season has a balance and freshness that show ends up lacking in later seasons.
