Episode 10:
V
Video game. In a bar. Bartender wants to close. She says she's almost finished. He says you don't have to beat that game every night. She disagrees. He'll take the trash out then he's closed, end of story. Woman arrives and says you're too old for video games. She has an eye patch. The gamer tries to get by. And can't use her power. Benjamin, your angel tricks won't work on me. Who are you. Angel swords vs. angel swords. The gamer loses. Benjamin chants. The attacker says that's right, call your friends....
Angels hear the chant. Cas and a bearded man.
Benjamin is killed. Redhead with the eye patch has waited so long. Walks out.
Kelly Kline still missing. Dean and Sam in front of the board. Cas has been trying to find her. Mom is in Atlanta hunting a shapeshifter. Dean says she jumped into this rather quick. Sam says we don't have a mom that stays home and makes chicken soup. Sam wonders how long Dean will be mad at Cas? Dean says Billie said there would be cosmic consequences. Cas says he did the right thing, and will deal with what's next. I have to go. An angel friend cried out for help. I need to know if he's still alive. Sam says we'll come with you. Dean agrees. Make sure you don't do anything else stupid.
Awkward silence in the car. Sam caught in the middle. Offers music and Dean says I'm good. Sam asks Cas about his friend. Cas is silent. Sam says this silent treatment thing is silly, it doesn't work. We should have a plan. Cas asks what do you want to know? Dean says he speaks. Sam says enough and asks for more. Cas says Benjamin wouldn't call for help without reason. He's always very careful. His vessel in Madrid, she gave him everything. She's not just his vessel, she's his.... Friend. He'd never put her in unnecessary danger. Then what happened? That's what Cas needs to find out.
The redhead on a bed, chanting.
The bar. Wing burns on the wall. Talking to the bartender. Cas says get out. Get out. Dean escorts him out. Sam asks you alright? Cas says no. Benjamin was a gifted soldier. Don't know how this happened? Dean finds an angel blade. Cas says it's not Benjamin's. He hears chanting.
The redhead sits up. Castiel. Leaves her room.
In the car to a restaurant. Cas says wait here. His friend said come alone. He doesn't like humans. Meets with 2 angels. They're not friendly. Is Cas a hero, a spanner in the works? Cas says I'm not the hero. Sometimes sacrifices are necessary. Isham insults him. Cas wants to discuss Benjamin. The female angel says 2 more from our flight have been murdered.
Dean storms in. Sits with Cas. My friends who don't listen very well. Female angel goes outside to check for others. Goes around the corner. The redhead kills her.
Dean wants pie. Isham says Cas was a soldier, a warrior, an angel's angel. Look how far he's fallen. Dean says how about coffee with that sugar? Dean and Isham spar words. Cas says it's fine. Isham wants to go to a safe house nearby. He'll go get Mirabelle. Nice to see you, old friend. He leaves. Sam and Dean aren't impressed. Cas will put up with all this to help the angels he served. I have to go. He leaves.
Isham in the alley. Finds Mirabelle. Redhead attacks him. He tries to smite her. She says I'm not powerless anymore. How? Cas joins in. knocks her down. He says I know you. Dean and Sam come. She says I don't want to hurt any human. Just let me finish what I started. She blinds them with light and flees in a convertible. Sam got the plate of her car, though.
Church. Cas offers to tend to Isham's wound. Isham is fine. Cas asks how is she alive? Cas says before the apocalypse, we rarely came to Earth. Except for an anomaly many years ago.
Flashback. 1901, Maine. Castiel in a female vessel. An angel has taken a wife and has a daughter. A nephilim. They've come to set things right. Approach the Victorian house. The couple comes out. The redhead woman is there. Angel says you have no business here. Isham disagrees and lectures him. Angel says humans are not animals. Most are good and true. How could anyone not lose them? Castiel announces the charges. Angel seems surprised at the nephilim charge. They kill him. Isham says dispose of his vessel. Next part, I'll do alone. Mirabelle cleans her blade. They hear the woman and girl screaming.
Cas says we completed a mission. It was necessary, it was right. The woman studied angels, speaks fluent Enochian. Lily Sunder. Isham let her live. Sam says she's got to be 100 years old? Cas says older. Isham says she's made a demonic pact that keeps her young, strong, immune to our powers. Sam and Dean want to reason with her. Cas says 4 dead angels show she's not reasonable. It will take all of us to defeat her. Sam says her family was murdered. Maybe if we find her, we'll explain you're different now. Cas says it won't work. She won't quit. Would you? Sam says we have to try. Dean says we're not asking.
Redhead has a nasty gash. She heals it with light. Wonder what's with the eye patch?
Cas attends to Isham. Isham calls them simeons. You're so gooey. Know why we're meant to stay away? They're a danger to us. Cas says my friendship to Sam and Dean has made me stronger. Your wound is deep. This will be painful.
Sam and Dean exit an elevator. She greets them with angel blades. Sam says we come in peace. Dean says we don't want to kill you. She doesn't want to kill them. Sam says it's not Cas's fault that Heaven has crazy rules about nephilim. She says her name was May. She was beautiful.
Flashback to the family.
I had a life, a wonderful life, until....they took everything from me.
Angel told her to take May and run. She gathered papers inside. Hears the kill. Grabs the girl.
Lily says I made angels my life's work, until I summoned one. Isham was the face of the divine. I thought he was perfect. But he is a monster.
Isham shared all their secrets with her. I loved you. She says you were obsessed with me. That isn't love. He says I loved you. You threw me away for him. She says I needed Acabel to protect me from you. And you'll kill me? He says no. you broke my heart, Lily. Now I'll break yours. Grabs May. You are powerless to do anything. You. Are. Powerless. May screams and Lily wails.
Lily had her daughter long before she saw an angel. not a nephilim. My daughter was human. Dean...are you buying any of this? Sam says kinda. Dean says we have to make sure. I'll call Cas. Phone ringing. Dean hangs up. Sam says go. Lily says she is no threat to humans and she can hear you. Heh.
Church. Isham doing push-ups. Cas not impressed. Where's my phone?
Sam asks....I get wanting revenge, but why wait so long? She says before the angels fell, there was no way to hunt them down. Patience is a talent. You can be amazed what a person can do with a little bit of purpose and an abundance of time. Sam looks at the photo. Isham says you made a pact. using dark magic. She says I use angel magic. Sam says that's possible? She says for the price of admission. Every time she uses a spell, a piece of her soul burns. I used to dream about my daughter every night. Now I dream about nothing. You don't trust me, I understand, but when your brother confronts Isham, Isham will kill him. He's too big in Heaven. When your brother's dead, you will help me. For that, I can wait.
Dean gets to Cas. Tells Cas that Lily says her daughter was human. I think Isham is playing you. Isham says you're back. asks what's new?
**Dean, try to have more of a poker face.
Cas asks is it true? Lily Sunder's daughter, was she human? Isham says she's a liar. She's human, it's what they do. Calls Dean an ape. Dean says at least Cas knows who his real friends are. Cas asks why do his questions bother you so? Pushes for answers. Isham says you won't like it. Isham attacks them. Dean cuts his hand to write in blood. Isham punches Cas out. I'll cure you of your human weakness same way I cured myself of my own. Dean threatens to blast them out. Isham says do it. I'll survive, but Castiel is hurt. Roll the dice. Dean hesitates. Lily and Sam arrive. She fights Isham. Dean is happy Sam changed his mind. They join in attacking Isham. Lily says I'll never be powerless again and blasts Isham. He says you can't hold me here forever. He pushes back. Prepares to strike. Cas stabs him from behind. You held him for long enough.
**Not often we see Cas in a different vessel. Nice to get some history as a stand-alone ep.
Lily looks at Isham's body. Dean asks her is she done? She turns to them. Revenge is all I've had for over a hundred years. It's what I am. Dean says wrong answer, you're done. Cas apologizes. Ignorance is no excuse. I truly can't imagine the depths of your loss. This is your child. I can't imagine the pain. If you leave here and can't forgive me, I'll be waiting. She thanks him. Walks out.
Bunker. Dean gives Cas a beer. Cas appreciates the gesture. Dean says you're not weak, you know that, right? Sam says your changes are for the better. Dean says no matter how crazy it got, you've been here. Sam says it counts. Dean is not mad, he's worried about the Billie thing. Cosmic consequences bite us in the ass. Cas knows, but he doesn't regret it, even if it causes him his life. Sam says don't say that. Dean asks about Kelly and the nephilim. Cas says he can't imagine the power if a child of Lucifer. Sam says at the end of the day, it's a mom and her kid. Do you think you can..? Cas doesn't know now. Dean asks what will we do? Cas says drink, and hope we can find a better way.
