This week the Winchester are out to find Rowena who cast a rage spell on Castiel and reverse whatever she has done to him. Crowley is playing nursemaid to Amara and not doing a very good job. Amara is a ten year old girl that has an insatiable appetite for souls and Crowley is running out of demons for her to feed. Rowena is back!!! Need I say more!!
I am so glad my favorite fiery redheaded Scottish witch has returned. Her personality and charm can brighten up any room. She can put a spell on me any day. Getting back to the show, Rowena is having trouble recruiting witches for her “Mega” Coven. She uses the term mega to prove and entice the potentials that her coven will be more grand and spectacular, but her tactics fall flat. Her reputation and rumor about how she killed the Grand Witch and her connection with the King of Hell, Crowley. She doesn’t take criticism well, so she bursts her potential members into flames. Maybe it’s me, but it’s not wise to kill your members before you start a club.
Anyway, Dean is still having visions and nightmares about his encounter with Amara in the Darkness. Her words echo through him like a repeating warning, “I am a part of you, and you are a part of me forever”. He feels responsible for this entire mess: the Mark, killing Death, and releasing the Darkness. Back at the Bunker, Sam, Dean, and Castiel are working hard trying to track down Rowena. Castiel is getting worse and the brothers don’t know how long he has left. For safety reasons, he is chained up to prevent him from harming himself and others. They get a lead on her, but tells Cass to stay behind due to his condition. The relationship between the Winchesters and Castiel is somewhat volatile and nurturing at the same time. Whatever hell they put each other through, they always know that they have each other’s back. Castiel is in pain both mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Amara is growing up into a force of preteen angst and annoying habits. She is always hungry, never satisfied, and very impressionable. Her older persona chats up a storm with her younger self through a mirror, where the adult Amara explains that she has a destiny. The adult Amara tells her that God is imperfect and that his plan for the human race is flawed and must be fixed. The young Amara takes this advice to heart and begins to form an idea or impression of the world, the humans, angels, demons, and of God. Crowley’s plan to mold her into whatever he wants is failing and is getting concerned about her education and understanding of the world.
Dean and Sam finds Rowena hiding in plain sight by becoming a blond. They incapacitate her magic by binding her wrists with enchantment bracelets. Dean makes a deal with her to free Castiel from the rage spell and they will let her go. But he also wants the Book of the Dead. Unfortunately their raging infected Angel has gone AWOL. So they go back out to find him, taking Rowena with them to keep an eye. While on the road, Rowena spills the beans about Sam’s deal with her to Dean. He doesn’t take it well, but tries to focus on finding their rogue angel. They finally catch up with Cass and it is just in time. Cass is attacking an innocent, but Dean intervenes and saves the innocent. Rowena reverses the rage spell and Cass is cured, but she escapes. Rowena is out in the wind, but the Winchesters have the Codex, but not the Book of the Dead.
Crowley discovers that Amara has fed too much and is now grown into a teenager. Her behavior and attitude has changed to become more bold and aggressive.
Amara is growing up way too fast and Crowley feels he is losing control of his pupil. His concern for her powers is justified since she is the Darkness, older than God and Creation. Castiel is cured but weakened. Now that Cass is cured, Dean and Sam can now focus on fighting the Darkness, but there is an elephant in the room. Sam must try and explain his decision to recruit Rowena to save to Dean, but that is something Sam is going to have a hard convincing Dean his reason.
