Synopsis
Dean and Sam break open the piece of clay that they stole from Dick, unleashing a thunderstorm in the process. Lightning from the storm hits Kevin Tran, inside his house, and lifts him into the air for a while, then drops him to the ground. Around the same time, Cas awakens in his hospital bed in Indiana, with Meg sitting next to him. The Winchesters, meanwhile, have discoverd that the piece of clay contains a small black tablet with strange writing on it. Elsewhere, Edgar recieves a call from none other that Dick Roman.
The next day, Kevin wakes up and realizes he's late for an important test, presumably the SATs. As he leaves his house, which has been damaged by the lightning, he begins having visions of the mysterious tablet. The brothers notice an object move on its own, but Bobby doesn't appear, leading them to believe he's been drained of energy from his attack on Dick back at RRE. Meg then calls, informing them of Castiel. Kevin, driving his mom's car, continues seeing the tablet and heads to Indiana.
At the hospital, Cass begins to act wierd, greeting Sam and Dean with the “pull my finger” gag, blowing out the overhead lights with his powers. He says Meg is beautiful, hugs the brothers, and talks of cats before finally revealing what the tablet is: The Word of God.

In the story His Last Bow by Arthur Conan Doyle, it is revealed that after retirement Sherlock takes up beekeeping with the same passion and obsession he once had for detecting:
“Exactly, Watson. Here is the fruit of my leisured ease, the magnum opus of my latter years.” He picked up the volume from the table and read out the whole title, “‘Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen.’ Alone I did it. Behold the fruit of pensive nights and laborious days, when I watched the little working gangs as once I watched the criminal world of London.”
Meg refers to Sam as Bullwinkle who was a large moose in the cartoon "Rocky and Bullwinkle". Crowley has referred to Sam as Moose on several occasions.
This could be a reference to the birth of Jared's son on the 19th March. The episode was filmed from Mar 15th to Mar 26th. At Roadhouse Con Brasil 2012 Jared said that Gen went into labour during the first day of shooting during the scene where Sam was running after Kevin. source
In the movie Dogma God, as played by Alanis Morissette, says this while poking another character's nose in the same way that Castiel does to Kevin Tran in this scene.
