In some ways, this weeks episode ofSupernaturalfeels like the start of the final season for Sam and Dean.
It wasnt until Lilith(!!!)
showed up and told them Chuck is still around that they understood what theyre facing: the end.

And thats why I really liked this episode.
(Well that, and all the callbacks!)
And as far asSupernaturalis concerned, camping is a surefire way to get yourself killed.
So when something kills two of the three campers, its less than surprising.
As for what happens to the third, well get to that.
First we head to the bunker, where we see Sams sent about a million unanswered texts to Castiel.
(Dont you love an angel who texts?)
It seems the body count is up to five, and the theory is that its a mountain lion.
Naturally, the boys hit the road to check it out.
(After Dean dumps water all over his face.)
In the car, Sam falls asleep and were treated to another one of his dreams.
In this one, Samifer is sitting in the bunker, white suit and all.
But the Colt doesnt work.
Not only does Samifer heal himself, but he burns Dean alive.
Sam then wakes up in the car and promptly does NOT tell Dean about his dream.
At the hospital, Dean talks to Ashley, the survivor from the camping trip.
he promises that he and Sam will protect her.
With that promise, she tells him the name of the werewolf: Andy.
Sam and Dean head out to meet Andy, who lives with his brother, Josh.
Meanwhile, inside the house, we find out that Josh killed Ashleys friends.
Andy, however, let Ashley go.
Im where Im supposed to be, he tells her.
As for Ashley, she just graduated college and has no idea what to do with her life.
Wouldnt it be great if everything was just planned out for you, she says.
If it was all just already decided?
Deans response, as someone who recently discovered his life was scripted?
No, not really.
Ashley then falls asleep… but so does Dean.
By the time Sam returns from a food run, Dean is out and Ashleys gone.
They quickly make their way out to Josh and Andys place, where Ashley is tied up.
He was never gonna stop, Andy says.
He turned into a monster.
And Im a monster too.
Andy then turns the gun on himself.
Until she says, Well this is a bitch, and gets up.
Because shes not Ashley.
Shes LILITH!!!
According to Lilith, she was dead and sleeping away in the Empty until God brought her back.
Once Dean flashes his black eyes, he uses the First Blade to stab and kill Sam.
Sam then wakes up.
Its why God wanted them to meet the werewolf brothers, because its foreshadowing.
But once they get to the motel, Lilith realizes Dean doesnt have the gun there.
Once she locates it in the glovebox, she melts it.
Back at the bunker Sam tries to call Castiel, but he doesnt answer.
The brothers then figure out what to do now that Chucks not gone.
Dean tells Sam about Chucks endings, and Sam finally tells Dean about his dreams.
Sam thinks he must be seeing Chucks endings, that the wound they share has linked them.
What if somehow Im in his head?
But it doesnt give Dean much hope.
This was supposed to be over, Dean says.
And now what are we supposed to do, man?
Do they keep running in the hamster wheel until they die?
We fight, Sam says.
But without the gun, Deans hopeless.
Its God, Sam, Dean says.
And hes coming for us.
How the hell are we supposed to fight God?
