The newly human Chuck questions what they have done, as Dean tells him that they "won." When Chuck asks if this is how it ends for him, Sam throws down his book. But as Chuck looks through the pages, he finds that they are all blank, due to Death being the only one that can read the book. Because of this, Dean explains that they had to come up with a Plan B. After realizing that Michael didn't like the fact that Chuck chose to bring Lucifer back over him, Sam and Dean figured that Michael would betray them and fed Michael a fake story about the spell. Dean continues telling Chuck that Jack wasn't just being turned into a bomb, but rather a power vacuum, and has been sucking up bits of power since coming back. When Michael and Lucifer had their showdown in the Bunker, Jack was able to absorb all the power they used, which charged him back up. And after Chuck killed Michael and beat down Sam and Dean, Jack absorbed the energy Chuck released, making Jack unstoppable.
After hearing this, Chuck begins to laugh, admitting for the first time ever he doesn't know what will happen, telling Sam and Dean that is why they are his favorites. He relishes the fact that he will die at the hands of Sam Winchester and the "ultimate killer" Dean Winchester. Dean, however, tells Chuck that's not who he isor Sam are, and not how his Chuck's story ends. Sam and Dean explain that Chuck will live the rest of his life as a human, where he will grow old, get sick and die unremembered by anyone. As Sam, Dean, and Jack walk to the Impala, Chuck begins desperately crawling to them, pleading for them to wait as they drive off.
The Impala arrives in the empty streets of Hastings, Minnesota, where Jack proceeds to restore the world as it once was. Sam questions what happened with [[Amara]] after Jack absorbed Chuck's power. Jack tells Sam and Dean that she is with Him and are in harmony with each other. Dean announces plans to head back to the Bunker, telling Jack how they'll spruce the place up for Him. Jack tells Sam and Dean the boys He's not going with them, and plans to be a hands-off God, so as to not make the same mistakes Chuck did. He tells Sam and Dean He will always be with them as well as the rest of humanity. Putting His hand over His heart, Jack tells the Winchesters He will be as close as this to them before saying "goodbye" and walking off and disappearing.
At the Bunker, Sam and Dean share a beer while sitting at the library table, and toast to all the people they lost along the way. Sam tells Dean that with Chuck no longer writing their story, they get to finally write their own. "Finally free," Dean assures an emotional Sam, and with smiles on their faces they get up and walk off, revealing Castiel and Jack's names carved into the table next to [[Mary]]'s initials.

The gas station where Dean finds the dog [[Miracle]] is called Route 66 and has the names Tod and Buz on the front sign. ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_66_(TV_series) Route 66]'' was a '60s TV show following two guys -- Tod Stiles and Buz Murdock -- and their adventures as they travel traveled across America. [http://www.tv.com/supernatural/show/30144/story/10682.html?tag=story_list;title;0# Eric Kripke] has said the show was part of the inspiration behind ''Supernatural.'' The gas station also has [[Eric Kripke]] and [[Phil Sgriccia]] etched on the front door, and Kim M. (a tribute to [[Kim Manners]]) written on one of the posts.

'''Sam:''' We'll give you what you want.<br>
'''Dean:''' That's right -- the whole Cain and Abel thing.
:''[[Cain]] was the firstborn son of [[Adam and Eve]]. When [[Lucifer ]] tried to corrupt Cain's younger brother Abel, Cain made a deal so that Abel's [[soul ]] would go to [[Heaven ]] and in exchange Cain's would go to [[Hell]]. Lucifer agreed on the condition that Cain kill Abel himself. As previously stated on the show, this fits with [[Chuck]]'s pattern of having brothers kill each other as part of His story.''

'''Michael:''' When God left Heaven, I was certain of his return. So I made sure all of the angels and prophets burnished his image on Earth. The all-knowing, all-seeing, all-caring God.
:''[[Michael ]] says he was the source of the Abrahamic religions as he had the former [[prophets ]] brand God's image on Earth. A piece of historical evidence is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont-Saint-Michel Mont Saint Michel] on the island Mont Tombe at Normandy, France. The commune was built after the archangel Michael appeared to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubert_of_Avranches Aubert of Avranches] in 708 AD telling him to build a church on the rocky island.''

An anonymous source posted photos from the script of [[15.18 Despair]], including an "Appendix A" scene in which [[Donna]], [[Bobby Singer (Apocalypse World)|Bobby]], [[Charlie Bradbury (Apocalypse World)|Charlie]], [[Jules]], and all the rest of the [[Apocalypse World]] refugees who were deleted raptured away by Chuck in the silo return, presumably thanks to Jack. It's currently unknown whether this scene was filmed during "Despair" as planned or not, or why it was excluded from this episode "Inherit the Earth" as originally intended.<br>
