Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

Castiel and Jack are absent in this episode, but Nick has made his grand return. He has been missing for a good amount of episodes, but he’s back to get his revenge. Nick’s journey finally has him crossing paths again with the Winchesters. He is hunting down Mary Winchester because she is the last hunter who made contact with the demon Abraxas, Dean also pays a visit to his mother for one-on-one time without being around Sam. This behavior arises suspicion from Sam and Mary.

Mark Pellegrino is an amazing actor. I’m glad the writers found a way to keep him around post-Lucifer. He portrays Nick subtly differently from how he plays Lucifer. Nick behaves more like a deranged man than an archangel who’s mad at Daddy Chuck. I really hope Nick finds a way to redeem himself… because the idea of resurrecting Lucifer is not the best move to make at the moment. We have plenty going on with Dean trying to kill himself with Alternate Michael.

Sam and Dean argue about how Nick was handled, and then about Dean’s plan. No matter how many times they fight with each other, these boys never fail to tug at the heartstrings. The episode also had small moments between Dean and Mary, reminding us how 14 seasons ago, these two were just eating unhealthy food with John Winchester. I can’t wait for the 300th episode… John Winchester, baby!

Overall, a good episode that finally addressed Nick’s revenge and revealed fairly early the endgame Billie showed Dean in the book. Sam and Dean are going to get out of this one. Let’s see how much the world is fucked after they do it.
