Last week found Agent Beyonce aka Castiel (Misha Collins) and Agent Jay-Z aka Crowley (Mark Sheppard) searching for Lucifer (now Rick Springfield). But it was Rowena (Ruth Connell), my favorite witch who got the best of Lucifer. As for Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith), “There was no pain… I think I was in heaven.” So give her something to sing about. She was with John and the boys and was happy. She tried hunting it out, but eventually, Mary had to go deal and left her grown sons.

Spoilers below.

My favorite boys are back pretty soon, and it would not be Supernatural if one brother wasn’t going after another brother to save his life. The longevity of the show is due to its ability to still surprise you after all this time, even when the characters act predictably. Of course we already knew what Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) reaction was going to be… the Winchesters are our family too.

Check out the season 12 video and photo below.

Supernatural was at San Diego Comic-Con Sunday, and this long-running fan fave shows no signs of slowing down. Although the Earth almost ended with the brother and sister team of God and the Darkness (Rob Benedict, Emily Swallow) squabbling, the season ended with a parting gift for Dean (Jensen Ackles)- his mother resurrected.

THE ROAD SO FAR: This season on Supernatural, the boys have been to hell and back – literally. But that is usual, isn’t it? They got rid of the Mark of Cain, but released the Darkness, Amara (Emily Swallows), who appeared in the form of a baby. She grew up with Crowley (Mark Sheppard) for a while, feeding on souls, but left because she wasn’t interested in his goals. Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) spent the season hunting Amara, yet working cases. They tried talking to Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) in the cage with the help of Rowena (Ruth Connell) and Crowley. Castiel (Misha Collins) said yes to Lucifer to stop Amara after Sam said no. Metatron (Curtis Armstrong) redeemed himself by writing God’s autobiography after Chuck (Rob Benedict) revealed himself, giving it to the Winchesters. He then sacrificed himself to save Lucifer, mankind’s only hope. After God and Lucifer hashed out their father and son issues, Amara came and mortally wounded God.

“Welcome to the end.”

Supernatural is winding down its 11th season, and it has been all about the darkness named Amara (Emily Swallow). God’s sister had been trapped for eons, until Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) mucked it up and let her out. They gambled with some bad beings, as usual, but Crowley and Lucifer and Rowena (Mark Sheppard, Mark Pellegrino, Ruth Connell) put together could not stop her. The brothers are trying to figure it out, but are still doing one-off cases in small town America – just another hunting day.

Spoilers for 11.20 “Don’t Call Me Shurley” below.
