Devil's Trap

LUCIFER RISING

It's the aftermath of the fight of the Century. Not since Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed have we seen such a fight. I am talking about, of course, our favourite Winchester brothers.

It is back to 1972 for the flashback. We see a priest in a convent who gets possessed by none other than old Yellow Eyes himself. I found this part of the Finale very amusing. He is after all making a mockery of all things pure and good. Which then proceeds onto the ritual killing and slaughtering of the innocent and virginal.

Dean (our Angel) has returned to Bobby's house after saying "those words" to Sam to lick his wounds. He's trying to figure out what to do and where does he go from here. Bobby gets sick and tired of hearing Dean piss and moan about Sam and even calls Dean "Princess" which to me was the giggle of the Finale. You can just tell that Bobby has hit a raw nerve in Dean with his family speech, but what can Dean do now?

Sam (our Demon) has fled with ... you guessed it. Ruby. Our favourite little demon "slut". I use the term very loosely, of course. She does after all at this point, seem to have dear little Sammy wrapped around her little Demon claws. Ruby and Sam have abducted Lilith's main meal ticket in the hope of bleeding her dry (quite literally) and hunting down Lilith.

Enter good old Zachariah. The major thorn in Dean's side that seems to be playing and toying with Dean. Much like a cat does with a spider before pouncing and killing it. Zachariah explains to Dean (after the ritual bribery tactic) that there is only one seal to go and that seal is .... Lilith. She is the last seal to bring forth Lucifer. Am I the only person by this point who wishes Zachariah would just disintegrate for good? Why do we need him here? Maybe it's the annoyance factor he's going for and in my opinion he's succeeding.

As well as informing Dean about Lilith, he also tells him that Sam plays a part in all of the scheme of things as well. They need Sam to kill Lilith and then Lucifer will in fact rise. Which brings us on to Dean's part in all of this. He gets the really great task of trying to rid the world of Lucifer. Dean tries to contact Sam and warn him, but alas he has no success. Castiel appears to be turning against Zachariah and opens a portal with his own blood that sends dear little Zachy back to heaven. Just in the nick of time as well. It's about time Castiel grew a pair and stood up to the powers that be !!!

Bring on Lilith, who has entered the same convent where all the slaughtering happened all those years ago. Enter Ruby and Sam hell bent on ending it all for good. It looks like it's going to be the showdown of the Century between Lilith and Sam. While Sam is trying to rid the world of Lilith, he thinks he can hear Dean shouting for him. Dear little Ruby has blocked Dean from getting near Sam as she has her own agenda.

Sam destroys Lilith and Ruby informs him that he has done it. He has brought Lucifer to life. She gives him some big important speech about how she was the only Demon with enough guts to get Sam to help. Well you can imagine how Sam must feel knowing that Ruby was only using him for one thing. Could he not see this before now? Jeez. Maybe he should listen to big bro now and again. Dean finally manages to get to Sam but not before trying to take aim at Ruby. It seems that Sam has to take care of Ruby as well. He "helps" Dean to kill her (woo hoo). It's about time.

We then see the ground shifting and changing. Dean and Sam know who's coming. But, how will it all end?

WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE OF THE CLIFFHANGER !!!!!!

Nasty, horrible, mean Eric !!! How could he do that to us after all we've been waiting on? Was I the only person shouting at my tv "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"? I think not.

It has to be the best Finale yet in the Supernatural stakes. I was absolutely riveted to my seat to see how it would end. Again, it was a roller coaster of emotions for me. Bring on the new Season and soon !!! Excellent writing again Mr Kripke.
