|outline= [[Amara]] unleashes her full power in her search for [[God]]. While , while [[Dean]] attempts to understand the connection they have, . [[Sam]], [[Crowley]] , and [[Rowena]] devise a plan to communicate with [[Lucifer]] in [[Hell]].

On the other side of town, Amara continues her search for God in a church, and asks a priest how she can meet God. He explains that no person has met God, and that she can talk to Him through prayers. Not satisfied by the priests priest's answers, Amara consumes the [[soul]]s from everyone in the church and slaughters them.

Back in [[Crowley’s Crowley's Lair]], his [[demons]] bring him the captured Rowena. After a short bickering over who hates the other more, Dean and Sam come and explain the situation -- the four of them need to work together to lock away the Darkness that was unleashed when the [[Mark of Cain]] was removed. Rowena demands her safety after doing her part, which Crowley agrees to, until the next time Rowena decides to go after him.

The news that the Darkness is God’s sister also comes as a surprise to Rowena. She asks for the codex [[Nadya's Codex]] and Charlie’s [[Charlie]]'s code breaker so she can read the book, and Sam confirms her that she will be reading only from the pages needed. When Dean tells her that they will need to know how to open [[Lucifer's Cage|the Cage]] and how to protect Sam once it’s open, Rowena’s curiosity rises. Sam reveals they are seeking to speak to Lucifer. Rowena becomes excited at the prospect. At the [[Men of Letters Bunker]], Sam supervises Rowena while Dean leaves to investigate the deaths at the church in the hope that he may find clues to Amara's whereabouts. As he leaves the church, Sam calls him, but Dean becomes distracted by the sudden appearance of Amara and the call goes unanswered as Amara she teleports Dean to a clearing in a wilderness.

Now alone with each other, Amara tells Dean that she was wronged by her brother, God, locked away by his His jealousy that she would bring about a better creation than Him. When Amara tells Dean about how she would change the world, bringing bliss to everyone. When Dean question her asks what she would do after she takes everything over, she tells him he knows all he needs to for now. Dean turns quickly and plunges a blade into Amara. The blade shatters, as it doesn’t cannot penetrate her bodyand shatters, as the broken shards fall falling to the ground, Dean looks stunned. Amara tells him that was pointless, but understands, as he is a warrior and it is his nature to resist. She draws Dean closer, seemingly about to consume his soul, but she kisses him instead. Dean reciprocates, but eventually is able to pull himself away from Amara. When he questions her about what just happened, she tells him that was "the future," and that they’re bonded by the Mark of Cain. Their discussion is cut short by a group of angels , led by the rallying angel from the earlier scene, who say they have come to take her to Heaven. In response, she kills each of them. As the sky cracks in fury and thunder, a look of concern falls on Amara's face and she returns Dean to the park near the churchbefore the full force of Heaven rains down upon Amara in a single unified blow.

Back at the Bunker, Rowena says she has found a way for Sam to safely talk to Lucifer. Sam calls Dean, who once again fails to answer, and Rowena insists that must proceed immediately. In [[Hell]] Sam follows Rowena and Crowley to "limbo," an area in the furthest reaches of Hell where they will communicate with Lucifer. When they reach the end of the long corridor, they find an empty cage. Rowena works on placing warding sigils and spells on the cage and then summons Lucifer to appear inside it. Lucifer demands of Crowley why he is there. Sam shows himself and Lucifer can’t hide his excitement at seeing him. When Sam asks about the Darkness, even Lucifer admits that that is not good news. Lucifer admits that he had helped God locking up the Darkness and he knew that Sam need him to lock up the Darkness once and for all. He declares he needs a human [[vessel]] to do this but Sam flatly refuses.

'''Crowley:''' It was sealed by God himself, of Himself. Of course I don't 'have a key. ' The mechanism is of divine manufacture. I believe its secrets, along with the spells for warding Sam, are recorded where many such mysteries are found -- the ''Book of the Damned''.
