Changes

:''"I'm not one of them. I'm not an archangel. Really more run-of-the-mill. I worked in the secretarial pool before God chose me to take down the Word. Anyway, he... seemed very worried about his work, what would happen to it when he left, so he had me write down instructions. Then, he was gone. After that, the archangels took over. And they cried, and they wailed. They wanted their father back. I mean, we all did. But then... then they started to scheme. The archangels decided if they couldn't have Dad, they'd take over the universe themselves. But they couldn't do anything that big without the Word of God. So I began to realize, maybe they would realize... they needed me."''

As they check into a hotel, Sam becomes more unwell, hearing noises, developing a fever, and having vivid memory flashbacks to his childhood. They find Metatron in a hotel room, surrounded by thousands of books. He is unaware of any of the events related to [[Heaven]], or [[Lucifer]] and the [[Apocalypse]] and hasn't even heard of the Winchesters. He explains that he left [[Heaven]] to protect the [[tablets]] and himself from the [[archangel]]s who want to use them to take over the universe. Metatron further explains that as Sam has passed two of the [[trials]], he is starting to resonate with the tablets, and with Metatron, allowing him to sense both when he is in close proximity. Sam and [[Dean]] are angry at him for ignoring all the suffering wrought by Heaven and the [[angel]]s and tell him about [[Kevin Tran]] who they believe is dead as a result.
