It was a great fight even though I have to overlook the rather sloppy wirework they did up in the air where it was obvious Dean/Michael and Lucifer were supported in harnesses. Seeing Dean enter the scene all glowy and angel-winged was a fangirl delight that was surely GIF’d as soon as it appeared on TV screens. This leads to a pretty great clash of the titans. In season 13 we pick that storyline back up, when a broken Apocalypse Michael and Dean make a deal. After season five, we didn’t get nearly as much of that “destined to be vessels” stuff, because Lucifer was killed off (or so we thought) and Michael was trapped forever in the Pit (or … well you get the idea). Back in season five, Zachariah broke the news that Dean would be Michael’s vessel – the Michael Sword – while Sam was destined to be Lucifer’s meat suit. ![]() The finale made a big callback to a major story arc that was built up and dropped quicker than Adam into the Pit (too soon?). He siphons his kid before the big ending battle. ![]() Of course, Lucifer never really wanted Jack – he wanted his power. When Lucifer is revealed to be the manipulator he has always been, Jack loses all interest in connecting with his old man. It is Jack’s human side that, in the end, makes all the difference. “Like Star Wars?” He offered him a lightsaber… temptation, much? This is when Jack is most vulnerable, so Lucifer has a prime opportunity to corrupt his son. So of course his neglectful Dad shows up to offer him toys and sweet vacations. Maybe he still has the potential for evil. As he hits himself in the woods, you get the feeling again that maybe Jack will go over the deep end. Jack is immediately shamed by his tendency to lash out. It leads Jack to confront and hurt the wrong person. The murder distracts us from Michael’s impending arrival. This easily could have been the first act of any middle-of-the-road-episode. Then we have our typical inciting incident – a body is discovered, and it’s one of the Apocalypse Worlders. Political jokes aside, it at least serves to update these newcomers. Sam coaches the inhabitants of Apocalypse World on current events, glossing over how The Shape of Water won best picture and the President is a reality star. The beginning of the episode is at a slower pace, feeling like a regular episode. It makes me wonder if this intro was compiled before it was clear the Wayward Sisters spinoff was axed. With a long run like this show has, the avid viewer is rewarded with references to the past and old characters and once-forgotten storylines being brought back front and center.įor the montage of intro sequences, they added a lot of Scooby-Doo, which had no bearing on the season story arc, and shots of the Wayward Sisters. The beginning recap intro started with a Dean voiceover, which basically sounded like “If you haven’t been watching this show religiously up to this point, you’re about to be real confused.” And it’s true. ![]() What a doozy! There’s a lot to unpack about the ending of Supernatural Season 13 so lets start from the beginning. I haven’t been that tense during an episode of Supernatural in a while.
