And the first episode back was an unexpected return to an old story: The Bad Place.
After walking into a Radio Shed get it?
But he didn’t stop there.
He made other worlds with other endings, his “other toys,” as he calls them.
And now, he’s wondering if that’s where he screwed up.
Those other toys, he says, don’t “spark joy.”
(Someone bingedTidying Up.)
The real Sam and Dean challenge Chuck, they disappoint him, they surprise him.
And so, he does just that.
And for now, it’s the only plan they got.
the reaper assigned to keep an eye on him.
But the drinks are put on hold when Jody calls.
Dark Kaia has her trapped in a barn in Sioux Falls and she needs their help.
So our Kaia’s not dead after all.
Spoiler: They fail.
But his reaper guardian isn’t too keen on the idea.
In the end, the reaper explains that the boys never restored the warding on the bunker after Amara.
(The warding would keep Chuck from sensing Jack.)
(Castiel convinces Jody to stay behind for Claire’s sake.)
They’re simply scared.
And can you blame them?
Their world is ending.
But this story doesn’t have a happy ending.
Chuck is wiping the slate clean, which is why Sam wants to know more about Billie’s plan.
And in that library, everyone has a book, even God.
(Cut to Death telling Dean in season 5 that he will reap God one day.)
Billie explains that God didn’t write these books.
It’s his only weakness.
And no one can read their book unless Death lets them.
Apparently, Jack and the Winchesters are in God’s book.
That’s why Billie told Dean that they still had work to do.
“This is your destiny,” she tells Sam and Dean.
“You are the messengers of God’s destruction.”
So, you know, no pressure.
Back at the Radio Shed, God calls it a day.
He’s been ending worlds for weeks and he still isn’t done.
I have to say, I was surprised to see Dark Kaia again.
I didn’t feel like I needed more from that story, though I’m glad Kaia’s alive.
Chuck is ending worlds, and that means he’ll be back with our Sam and Dean soon.
