Episode 6.22 The Man Who Knew Too Much
Manage episode 378956156 series 2995511
A season finale that really runs as part one of a two-parter. I had to firmly sort the events of this one out of the events of 7.01, and mostly succeeded, I hope.
Poor Sam has to put himself back together after Cas breaks his wall in a desperate last-ditch attempt to go through with his awful plan. Somewhere along the line, this power grab stopped being About Saving Dean and morphed into something truly awful. And all the while Our Guys have NO idea what Cas's actual goal in his determination to defeat Raphael actually is! They don't understand what Raphael in power in heaven would mean for them very specifically! Resuming the apocalypse, forcing Lucifer and Michael into Sam and Dean, and the end of everything on earth!
I will never be over the fact that if Cas had just shared that tiny fragment of information with them from the start, Sam and Dean both would've been all about helping Cas defeat Raphael, whatever that ended up looking like. But heck, they never even had a chance. And now, Cas has no idea why all his friends are "betraying" him, because he's so single-minded in his goal of busting open Purgatory like a cold one and drinking down the boys... like... without that One Key Detail, it sounds like an insane plan! And it even sounds like an insane plan to folks who DO know what Raphael plans to do (like Balthazar!). So really.. this is just a mountain of frustration and sadness and The Consequences Of Their Own Actions. And it all lands on Cas right here... :(
