Ep 18 recap:
2 men following a woman. Charlie hiding. From? The man has a unique compass. They take out guns and look for her among the dumpsters. She saves herself. The man says that book belongs to my family. She says Sorry, Gambit, finders keepers. He says my people will never stop coming. Russia, Alaska, this ends with you being dead. She runs and he shoots. Hits her. Can't run forever, little girl!
Cas and Metatron in the car. Cas turns the radio off. Metatron isn't pleased. He likes the Alannis Morissette song. He talks and talks.....I feel feelings now! And goosebumps. Creepy, yet arousing. Ewww. Cas calls Sam and asks if I can kill him now. No. You can't. And Sam doesn't have anything on the Mark. When Dean comes in, Sam hangs up. Metatron says he hung up on you, didn't he? Cas punches him again.
Dean says the Mark is an actual curse. What? Crowley told me. Rowena told him. The Mark protected me from Rowena. She's Crowley's mother. The Mark is an actual curse. Probably should've told you that. Dean's phone rings. it's Charlie. I'm exhausted and bleeding and in a phone booth. Dean says take a deep breath and tell me why you're bleeding. She says I got shot. She stitched herself up with dental floss. I dug up the Book of the Damned and these Southern douches are after me. What does it say about the Mark? No frakkin' idea. Can't read it. It's a spellbook for creating or undoing an damnation. We translate this thing, I think we can get the Mark off you, dean. The dude after me, he keeps talking about family. I don't know how much more running is in me. They're tracking the Book somehow. Dean says Bobby has cabins to crash in near her in Des Moines. Okay. She says bring snacks. And this book is scary. Never seen anything like it.
Dean and Sam in the car. Dean's rocking out to "The Boys Are Back in Town". Sam is amused. Dean's feeling optimistic. He wants to take a vacation. A beach, some beers, some girls. Neither one of us have ever been on a beach.
Metatron eating a giant waffle. Food, glorious food! The taste! He's binge-ing on sugar. Don't you miss being human? Cas says no. Metatron says don't you miss the feeling of all this. We've touched the divine and the mundane. Cas says don't. Metatron says can't you get past this? Never. Cas says either you've lost my grace, or you're stalling. Metatron says the minute I hand it over, I'm dead. His stomach starts gurgling. Cas takes him to the restroom. There's a guy in the diner with an angel sword!
Sam and Dean get to Charlie. Hugs. She says 700 years ago, a nun locked herself away after visions of darkness. The book is made out of slices of her skin and written in blood. Dean flips through the book and hears it whispering to him. Sam gets his attention. Dean closes the book and says it's not a good idea I touch this. He goes back to the car. Charlie asks what was that? Sam says he's not getting better. We need to get the cure fast.
Cas and Metatron leaving. An angry Cupid confronts them. Cas fights with him. Metatron kills the Cupid. Cas says this changes nothing. Metatron says You're welcome!
Charlie drew the tattoo. Sam says the book is in Sumerian...or not. Because it seems like gibberish. Charlie says it's in code. Dean says you nerds got this! Sam says let's stick to my notes for a bit. The book is making my eyes hurt. He puts the Book back in the case.
The family stops at a gas station. The guy uses the compass again. Nothing. She found a way to hide the book. It was on this road, she was on this road. Send the boys up and down the way.
Cas and Metatron in a library. Metatron says I had another angel hide it, even from me. Cas torturing him. Metatron says he told the angel to hide clues in my favorite books. They get a book, find a riddle, and the riddle will lead to another book.
Charlie isn't having luck. Dean says those people following you? The Stein Family. All kinds of wrong! They profit on awful bad things. All the spells came from a book of evil, which they lost 100 years ago. When you use the Book, there's a negative reaction. Dean says the Book wants me to use it, but for nothing good. We have to burn it, bury it, but it's not the answer. I'm not giving up, but I can fight the Mark until-- Sam says until what, you're a demon again? I can't do that! I won't do that. Dean says then you'll have to lock me up again. Sam says I can't lose you. Dean says that's not what you said last time. This is my cross the bear, mine! And that book is not the answer. He goes out for a drive to pick up snacks. Sam, I'll get my vacation, but not like this.
Metatron and Cas in the library. He thinks he and Cas make a good team. Cas says the incident at the diner was unfortunate. No more of our brothers and sisters will die. Metatron says we're not family, we're beings of light. What are you now? You're not an angel of the Lord. What are you going to do after cleaning up all these messes? Go back to Heaven? Hannah has cleaned it up. So what is your mission now? Cas says shut up and keep looking. Metatron used his blood to write sigils. Cas coughs and collapses. What did that spell do, just weaken him?
Charlie asks what did Dean mean when he said you changed your mind? Sam says we had a chance to close the gates of Hell. I had to die and Dean saved me. Charlie said he did something you didn't want and it pissed you off and you said something that hurt him? Yeah. She ponders how she got to this life as a hunter. Sam says I told myself one last job, and then when I lost Jess, it was one more job and then I'd go back to law and my life. But I understand now this is my life. I love it. But I can't do it, don't want to do it without my brother and if he's gone... She gets it.
Metatron looking for what he really came for. Cas figures the riddles are quotes. Metatron says I have a back-up plan. Hello, demon tablet. Cas finds his grace! Metatron says 1 out of 2 ain't bad. Cas takes in his grace and tada!
Dean comes in a convenience store. The Southerner is at the counter. Dean grabs stuff. Man tells him $15.75. Dean notices the tattoo. And pulls his gun. Hands where I can see them. He gets grabbed from behind. Southerner notices the Mark. Jacob Stein. Asks if the treats are for the redhead? You have the book. No one's seen the girl, then a man bearing that Mark comes in to me. The Book wants to be found, to come home. You want to use it to get rid of that Mark. The Book can do it, but you mess with that, you're going to do far more harm than good. So tell me where that book is. Dean headbutts him, gets free. Shoots the other guy. Reloads. His phone is broken.
He gets back to the cabin and says the Steins found me. They're jacked up, too. He puts the holy oil in the fire. Destroy the book! Burn it now. Sam, now! Steins break in the windows. Dean and Charlie fight. Sam at the fireplace. Tosses the book in. Stein grabs Sam. Sam kills him. The Book is burning.
Cas and Sam. I should've just killed Metatron. Sam says you got your grace back. Cas said you did the right thing with the book. Charlie and Dean return. She meets Cas. She hugs him. I thought you'd be shorter. LOL. Sam takes the groceries to the fridge. She asks Cas if he can cure Dean. Afraid it's not that simple. But he can heal her. She slugs his arm. LOL. Dean comes in with pizza. Cas lies about how he got his grace. Hannah got the location out of Metatron. Dean says awesome. They sit and eat. "Behind Blue Eyes" plays. Dean laughs at something.
Sam tells someone I need help. He took the Book! Switched it to burn another. I need the Mark of Cain off my brother and something tells me you can crack the Book. It's Rowena. Shall we discuss terms?
Next ep - Sam and Rowena. And Benny?
