In order to "lock the angels in a room" to force them to sort out their differences and keep the war from spilling over onto Earth, Metatron has decided to seal up Heaven as well as [[Hell]], but needs Castiel's help to do it as so because he doesn't feel he could do complete the trialsTrials himself, but that Castiel could. Castiel eventually agrees to work with Metatron to close seal Heaven up. As the Scribe of God, Metatron knows remembers all the trials Trials without the [[angel tablet]].
