Quotes

Jack: Cas, the deal you made, why can't Sam and Dean know?

Castiel: They can. I just don't want them to. They don't need that burden, you don't need that burden.
Jack: Of course I do. You did that for me.

Castiel: You know the Empty said that it wouldn't come for me until I had finally given myself permission to be happy. But with -- with everything we have going on, with Michael still out there. I don't see that happening anytime soon. This life may be a lot of things, but it's rarely happy.

Dean: Listen to me. Michael conned me, kept me trapped and drowning inside my own body. Now When you and Sam were possessed by Lucifer I-I thought I understood. But I didn't, not really. So yeah, if we get a chance to trap him, I'll take that. But I won't be truly happy until he is dead, and I kill him. And now I have a chance to do that. So yeah, I'm good. Let's go.

Trivia & References

Werewolf Bro: My friend EY, he made the change. Says he's immune to silver now. Pretty cool, right? The only thing that can take him down now is the full Ichabod. Says he's never felt so great, called archangel grace, the ultimate power up. A real Chug Jug. Dude Fortnite.

The building Michael takes over, Hitmoi Plaza, may be a nod Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard.
