Supernaturalfamily!

Welcome to season 13, where everything is feeling pretty bleak and yet Im very excited about it.

Why do things feel bleak?

Lost and Found

And then theres the little problem of Lucifers son, you know, existing.

Speaking of Jack, thats where this season picks up.

(Probably not the weirdest order theyve heard.)

The sheriff then attempts to question Jack, which obviously doesnt go well.

and that hes trying to find his father.

And you know what?

But Jack swears hes not stoned.

(Also something a stoned person would say.)

But the brothers are already disagreeing on what to do once they find him.

Deans plan is simple: They kill Jack and then they figure everything else out.

Dean is sure that hes really dead this time.

Thankfully, Sam interrupts them and tells Dean to head to the police station.

There, Jack is discovering the many wonders of the world, starting with nougat.

Sign me up!)

But once angel radio starts hurting his head, he accidentally uses his powers to hurt the sheriff.

Before he can do any more damage, Sam tases him.

Jack explains that Kelly taught him.

I was her, he says.

But when it comes to his powers, he doesnt have any answers.

Things happen when he gets scared and he cant control them.

All he knows is that he needs to find his father, Castiel, who will protect him.

In Jacks mind, Castiel is his father, the one person his mother said would keep him safe.

So, wheres his father?

Hes dead, Sam explains.

Jack is perfectly fine after being stabbed.

And not fine in a typical teenager way.

But not because Dean likes the kid.

Besides, the only people he can hurt in the bunker are Sam and Dean.

But before they head home, they stop by the house where Jack was born to burn Castiels body.

While Sam was inside, Dean walked around back and reluctantly prayed for Chucks help.

Weve lost everything, and now, youre going to bring em back.

And when nothing happens, Dean declares that Gods not listening.

Theyre all gone, a hopeless Dean says.

But when we flash to apocalypse world, we discover that Dean is wrong.

Lucifer ALMOST kills Mary but then, at the last second, decides he needs her.

So this should be fun.

From Deans prayer through the funeral, were reminded just how well this show handles emotion.

And I cant wait to watch them bounce back from it all.
