Just when I thought I might get through an episode of this finalSupernaturalseason without crying, THAT happened.
Oh, and also THAT.
Thankfully, Rowena has a spell that she says will reinforce the walls.

Only her thing goes terribly wrong.
Theyre too strong, she tells the boys.
Were all going to die.
Hes not going to give Chuck the ending he wants.
But its Belphagor who comes up with the winning idea.
Back in the day, it seems Lilith created a crook.
(Think: Little Bo Peeps curvy cane.)
Except this is apparently more like a horn?
The question is: Who does what?
Rowena asks Sam to stay and help her, as hes the closest to a witch in this bunch.
As for Dean, Rowena needs someone by the rift.
She can light the fuse, but someone has to throw the bomb in.
And Dean is certainly the man for that.
Elsewhere, we cut to Ketch waking up in the hospital.
And losing someone in episode 3 is a great way to feel them.
Plus, having Ketch die because hes loyal to Sam and Dean?
Talk about character evolution.
He tells her everything.
Back at the rupture, Castiel pushes Belphagor into hell and jumps in after him.
Together, in hell, they find Liliths chamber and the crook.
Of course its sealed in a box thats covered with an Enochian incantation, which Castiel has to SING.
Once Cas gets the box open, Ardad shows up to ruin Belphagors plan.
And here it is: The crook wont suck the souls back to hell.
It will suck them INTO Belphagor, making him incredibly powerful… like a god.
Before Cas can stop him, Belphagor sounds the horn, which means its game time back on earth.
Back in hell, Castiel fights his way back to Belphagor and tackles the crook out of his hand.
(After all, Cas knows the power that comes with a bunch of souls.)
All she needs is her flowing blood and her final breath.
She hands Sam a knife and tells him he has to be the one to kill her.
After all, in Deaths books, Rowenas permanent demise always comes at Sams hands.
I know this in my bones.
It has to be this way, she tells a reluctant Sam as he starts to cry.
(An image that brings me back to Sam jumping into hell in Swan Song.)
Dean asks where hes going, and he tells him, Jacks dead.
You and Sam have each other.
I think its time for me to move on.
And then the angel who raised Dean from perdition and became family… simply walks out.
(Id say I started crying again, but I never stopped.)
Well, it really feels like were in the final season now.
Thats one way to wrap up a story line and launch a final season.
