Quotes
Dean: Can't believe I'm teamed up with a demon again, think I'd know better by now.
Belphegor: Teaming up with a hunter, could say the same.
Belphegor: Teaming up with a hunter, could say the same.
Castiel: You're angry.
Dean: Yes, I am angry. At everything, all of it.
Castiel: All of it?
Castiel: Even if we didn't know that all of the challenges that we faced were born of Chuck's machinations, how would be describe it all? We would call it life. Because that's precisely what life is, it's an obstacle course. And Maybe Chuck designed the obstacles but we ran our own race, made our own rules and mostly we did well with that.
Dean: Did we? I'll tell you what we do know. Nothing about our lives is real. Everything that we lost, everything that we are is because of Chuck. So, maybe you can stick your head back in the sand, maybe you can pretend that we actually had a choice. I can't.
Dean: Chuck said he was sending you to Heaven.
Kevin: Yeah, what He said. Not what He did.
Ketch: What He lied? For what? Kicks?
Dean: Kevin's not even supposed to be in Hell, okay. So when this is all over we're gonna send him up in Heaven where he belongs.
Belphegor: Yeah. Yeah. Not gonna happen. Souls cast down to Hell, that's the end of it. Heaven can't take them.
Dean: That's not true. Our dad made to Heaven after he was in Hell.
Dean: And Bobby Singer.
Sam: I'm sorry Kevin, I wish there was some way to make this right.
Kevin: Me too. But there isn't. And sometimes you just to accept that. Besides, I'm better off than I was, and there's a whole world out there.
Kevin: Me too. But there isn't. And sometimes you just to accept that. Besides, I'm better off than I was, and there's a whole world out there.
Dean: Take care Kev.
Kevin: I love you guys.
Kevin: I love you guys.
Amara: Yes. Yes. Yin-yang balance of nature, I am willing to coexist with you brother, in the universe. Just not, you know, anywhere near you.
Chuck: Hey! Don't test me, I front the group, you sing back up!
Rowena: My little toy isn't strong enough to handle all this. We have to find another way, before it's too late.
Sam: All right, that's what we'll do.
Trivia & References
"Raising Hell" is the title of a 1993 concert video by Britsh heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
The decor of Amara's ostentatious hotel room featuring a mural of the Taj Mahal, references the hotel known as the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. It was billed as "the world's largest, most flamboyant casino." It was said to be connected to organised crime and was fined for violating money laundering laws. It closed in 2016.
Chuck: So, how about that Game of Thrones ending? Pretty great, right?
Dean: This is quite the list of ingredients. I hope you have an Amazon account.
Rowena: Prime.
Rowena: Francis Tumblety. You're an unfaithful dog.
Tumblety: Oh, and you're Mary Poppins?
Minutiae
Andrew Baker, who played Rob, previously played Demon #1 in 9.11 First Born.
Ketch's reaction to tasting the American beer Dean handed him, and Rowena's refusal to even try it is a reference to these characters' previously stated preference for whisky.
Chuck had previously revealed in 14.20 Moriah that Amara was in Reno, Nevada and that she was a fan of the game keno.
Belphegor explains that souls that have gone to Hell will not subsequently be accepted by Heaven. When Sam and Dean mention John Winchester and Bobby Singer, who both were first in Hell and then Heaven, Belphegor speculates that Chuck intervened in their cases because he liked the Winchesters.
