From hunting the Yellow Eyed Demon that killed their mother, to saving the world from Lucifer and the Apocalypse, then the Lethiathon to now attempting to close the gates of Hell for good. This episode was simply astounding in it's emotional capacity, I was in a flood of tears at all the heart-filling moments. Especially that scene with Sam and Dean, I haven't seen that kind of bromance between them since the earlier seasons of the show. It was truly beautiful. Crowleys humanity peaked, even his accent changed but honestly I hope he goes back to being the big bitch in charge simply because he is so damn good at it and his humour is so one of a kind. I knew Metatron was not to be trusted, THAT was too obvious. Seriously Cas, everytime you trust the wrong people, he should seriously stick to trusting Dean for once and now he has suffered his greatest consequence - losing his grace. This truly was a beautiful last episode, finally picking up from the deep rut season 6 and 7 left it in. The Angels have fallen.

Hopes for season 9:
-Cas trying to adapt to a full mortal life but continuing to help out Sam and Dean and hopefully gaining his grace back again.
-More wonderful bromance between the Winchesters and Sam NOT dying.
-Crowley going back to being the badass he is though suffering competition with Abbadon who isn't nearly as cool.
-Kevin gets even cooler somehow.
-Garth and Charlie make more appearances.
-New badass Angel characters perhaps?
-Metatron getting the shit he deserves for manipulating Cas.

Seriously though, I truly that the writers and creators of this show. Supernatural will forever be my favourite TV show in existence ever since I started following it in 2005 when I was 9 years old. Yupp, I watched it that young so to me I truly have seen the Winchesters grow up and well I will be sad when it all ends in season 10 but I know they will do a good job especially if they keep up with the standard of this season.
