Rather than accepting, Amara insists she is not hungry and refuses the gift. Crowley goes to leave, but instead closes the bedroom door and turns to Amara. He confesses his lack of experience and understanding in dealing with a teen and how to reach her. He explains he is terrified, and she responds with “I’ll bet.” She is aware he wants her only for the power she will wield, and that she soon wont need him anymore.

At the motel, Sam wants to make sure they are really gonna try to kill Amara, even though they are unaware of her power or weaknesses, or of she Can be killed. Dean agrees but worries that if they don’t try to take her on now, it might be too late later, as she is too big a threat.

Crowley acknowledges Amara's power, but asserts he has wisdom and experience, and was part of putting Lucifer back in his Cage. He proposes that while she might not need his tutelage, he can offer her his help if she will give him time, and slow down on her growth. He agrees to give her protection until she decides she doesn’t need him anymore. Amara agrees

Metatron is filming a victim lying in an alley, giddy with how much the footage will get him. He taunts the man as he chokes his last breaths, and takes his wallet. He comments how he at one time could have healed the man, helped him, but he is not that guy anymore, and can’t save him. “I can” Cas states and enters the scene. Cas confronts Metatron about his methods and kneels down to heal the man. Metatron films the healing, gloating about the great footage. Cas takes the camera and throws it down the alley, much to Metatron’s indignation: “Do you know how much stuff I had to steal, the pawn, to pay for that?!” A police car enters the alley and Cas and Metatron exit, leaving the healed victim.

Sam and Dean approach the abandoned Needham Asylum. Despite wards there are no guards anywhere on the path leading to the entrance or at the external door. Sam cautions that while outside security may be lax, there is now way to know how many are in there, or what they’ll find. Dean, in typical fashion, picks the lock with a smirking “well, let’s find out.”

Inside Crowley’s Court, a minion lackey gives a report on decreasing soul collection. Crowley, rather than reading the report, is reading a parenting book on how to interact with your sulky teen.

Metatron is tossed into an abandoned warehouse by Cas who berates Metatron for being a pick pocket and letting people die, expressing his disappointment. Metatron counters with insults regarding Cas’ time as a human, choosing a way of ‘slinging slurpies’ and gives his whining speech about how he pulled himself up trying to better himself. Cas responds with contempt for Metatron and his preying on human tragedy. Metatron sneers back to Cas to know what century he is in now, he is not shamed by making his way dealing in ‘fleeting visual sensation’, ‘gif length glimpses of horror, waste and degradation.’ How he has now caught up with the times. ‘Reality is the great literature’ of this era, and he himself is ‘reality’s author’ Cas cuts him off, that this was not what he came for. Metatron begins to taunt and bluster that Cas will never find the demon tablet. He’s hidden it so well… But Cas pulls the tablet from his jacket and lets Metatron know he has found it already. He begins to question Metatron about what he knows about the Darkness. Metatron tries to act as though he doesn’t understand, but when pushed instead begins to snark, sure of himself that Cas is traumatized and afraid, and can’t hit him because of that fear. Cas lets loose and finally punches Metatron, letting him know, ‘it’s not fear.’

Back at Crowley's Lair, Jervis hears Crowley calling from around the corner. He approaches to find the Dean waiting in the hallway instead, playing a recording of Crowley from Dean’s cellphone. As he rushes Dean, Sam tackles him from the side, cuffing him. Other demons are heard coming down the hall, and Sam tells Dean to take her out, he will handle the goons. Dean heads toward Amara’s room while Sam turns toward the coming demons.

Dean enters Amara’s room where she is calmly waiting for him. Something passes between them and Dean apologizes as he brandishes Ruby’s knife. A moment passes and Crowley is heard behind Dean, tossing Dean at the wall as he turns to face Crowley. Crowley pins Dean to a pillar in the room, and Dean confronts Crowley for wanting to use her, control her. Crowley picks up Ruby’s knife that Dean dropped and monologues about why he wasn’t able, before, to kill Dean because of their shared experiences, their "bromance." But he concludes that he feels he is ready to kill Dean today, feels different ‘Fatherhood chances a man.’ Suddenly, Amara – from behind him – hits Crowley over the head with what looks like a log from her fireplace. He spins to confront her and she freezes him. She pressures him with her power, first causing him to drop the knife, then snapping his arm and throwing him across the room, pinning him to the wall. She hold Crowley pinned with one hand, keeping Dean pinned to the pillar with the other.

A beatean Metatron again gives a speech about how everyone used Castiel, prompting Cas to kick him. As Sam in the hallway being confronted by two demons. He takes the angel blade he was holding up and sheaths it, instead rushing them for a tackle. As Cas questions Metatron again, Metatron taunts him that he wasn’t fixed even though he got his grace back. Cas growls only “the Darkness’ as he grips Metatron by the throat.

Crowley tries to ask Amara why she is hurting him, so she accuses him of not being able to protect her. She tells him she doesn’t need him, and that they’re done. Sam continues to fight the two demons in the hallway, trying to subdue the demons and cuff them, rather than killing them and the vessels. However one of the demons is too much for him, forcing Sam to kill him.

As Castiel continues punching Metatron over and over, Metatron begs for Cas to end it. Cas refuses to kill Metatron, shaking off the blood from his hand

Sam looks back over the two downed demons, and the one dead one. He heads around the hallway to find Dean Crowley is still pinned by Amara as Sam pounds on the door. Dean is loose and begins to go to Sam, but Amara pins him back to the pillar. Sam tries to get in the door, but is overpowered by a vision, fingers grasping through cracks in a wall. Amara threatens to kill Crowley unless he grants Dean safe passage. He agrees and she tells him to get out of her room. Dean can move as Amara focuses all her power on Crowley, but stands for a time watching her scene with Crowley play out. Once Crowley vanishes, Dean picks up Ruby's knife and approaches Amara, who scoffs at Dean's attempt to kill her.

Metatron continues begging Castiel to help him, Cas turns Metatron’s words back on him about being happy as a human. Metatron admits that he was faking, and his life is terrible. Castiel tells him he is sick of having his strings pulled and wont be manipulated anymore, and orders Metatron to tell him about the Darkness. He tells Cas the truth is that people want God to be magic, but instead he had to work, sacrifice, to make the world. He sacrificed his only kin – The Darkness. His sister.

Amara asks Dean, what is happening between them. Dean seems mesmerized by her. She tells him he was the first thing she saw of God’s creation after being freed after so so long. Dean represents creation to her. She tells Dean it is time for her to go, she is ready to explore the world. He still stands in at trance. She says soon she will be strong enough to do what she wants to settle a score. The oldest score she tells him. Dean seems to try to raise his blade, but is unable. Sam bursts into the room, and Dean’s priorities reset as she turns toward Sam and throws him back into the hallway. As Dean starts to rush her, She throws him against the wall and he falls to the floor. He watches as she walks away.

Sam, Dean and Cas are together in the Bunker, discussing Metatron’s revelation and Amara’s plans. Dean gives Cas a hard time about letting Metatron go, Cas assures them Metatron is human and not a threat. Cas asks Dean why he was unable to get a hit on Amara and she got away, and he insists she overpowered him. Sam goes to check the lore, and is overpowered again by a vision…. Of hands reaching through cracks and the cage suspended in nothing….

As Crowley holds court in apathy and Dean begins drinking in the Bunker. Amara walks through a crowd of people looking at the city and let her freedom soak in.

Quotes

Sam: Where'd you ditch the body?

Dean: School playground.
Sam: Come on.

Dean: Hospital parking lot.
Sam: But what I don't get is, why would Crowley have Amara on Earth in the first place? Wouldn't it be smarter to keep her in Hell?
Dean: Yeah, but then he'd have to spend more time there and he hates that place.
Crowley: You have tremendous power and soon you'll have even more. But I have something you lack... wisdom, experience. I helped put Lucifer back in his Cage. I rose through the ranks of Hell, defeated all comers to claim the throne. And a few minor set backs aside, I'm still here. I don't know how to impart what I've learned to you, how to teach you. At the rate that you're growing I'll probably never get the chance to figure it out. Perhaps you don't need my tutelage, but I believe deep down in my gut I have something to offer you, if you just give me a chance.
Metatron: Do you have any idea how much stuff I had to steal and then pawn to pay for that?
Demon: Turn to the graph at the bottom of twenty seven and you'll see a nearly 40% decrease in soul collections in the Pacific Northwest in the past three years. An unexpected consequence of legalized marijuana? Some analysts think so, others are not quite so sure.
Crowley: Do you know how disturbing it was to realize that I couldn't bring myself to kill you? I've had tons of chances over the years, some you don't even know about, but... Still, I made peace with it. Embraced my softer side, learned to accept that there was just too much going on between you and I -- Bromance. But you know what? I think I am gonna kill you today. I feel different somehow, ready. What can I say? Fatherhood changes a man.
Amara: Tell me what is happening here, between us? You save me, I save you. Why? You were the first thing I saw when I was freed, and it had been so long. Maybe that's it. My first experience of His creation. You can't help but represent that for me, the sweet triumph and the even sweeter folly of what He's wrought. There's no fighting it. I'm fascinated.
Metatron: The truth would make the Bible thumpers' heads explode. I mean, they want their God to be a finger-snapping all-powerful creator. They want magic, Mary Poppins. But what he did... Creation. That took work, took sacrifice. In order to create the world, God had to give up the only thing He'd ever known. He had to betray and sacrifice His only kin. The Darkness -- His sister.
Amara: It's been great seeing you again, Dean, but it's time for me to go. There's a whole world out there for me to explore, and I can practically taste it. Soon, I'll be strong enough to do what I came here to do.

Dean: What's that?

Amara: Settle an old score. The oldest score.
Sam: Guys. Bigger fish to fry here. Amara's in the wind.

Dean: Yeah, God's frickin' sister.
Castiel: You said you were close. Dean, how'd she get away?
Dean: I'm sorry, what part of God's frickin' sister didn't you understand? She overpowered me, end of story. What's our plan here, fellas? You said you got everything you could out of Metatron, right? So where on Earth are we gonna find an answer on how to stop her? I don't suppose God's decided to share some wisdom on the matter?

Sam: I'll look into the lore.
