[[Image:Family Portrait from 5-10 Abandon All Hope.JPG|300px|thumb|left|Hunter family portrait.]][[Castiel]] finds [[Crowley]], and with [[Jo]]'s help the brothers enter his house which is protected from [[Angelsangels]] by [[Enochian]] symbols. To their surprise he shoots his henchmen and gives them the [[the Colt]], stating that he wants [[Lucifer ]] dead because he believes that eventually Lucifer will kill all [[demons ]] after the humans are dead. Back at [[Bobby]]'s place, Bobby [[Photo Album|takes a photo]] of himself, Sam, Dean, [[Ellen]], Jo and [[Castiel]], as he believes that this might be their last night on earthEarth. When the team arrives in Missouri, Castiel sees [[Reaperreaper]]s everywhere. He tries to find out why they are there and is captured by [[Lucifer]] in a ring of flaming [[Holy Oilholy oil]]. He tries to convince Castiel to join him. [[Meg ]] arrives and sends hellhounds [[hellhound]]s after the brothers and the Harvelles, and while trying to help Dean, Jo is severely wounded. While taking shelter in a hardware store, Dean calls Bobby, who tells him the Reapers are in town because they are waiting for their boss to show: [[Death]], one of the [[Four Horsemen]]. Realizing she won't recover from this, Jo suggests they build a bomb to blow up the [[Hellhound]]shellhounds, using her as bait to lure the demonic dogs. Ellen volunteers to stay behind, too, so she can let the Hellhounds hellhounds in and set off the bomb while Dean and Sam escape. After a tearful goodbye with Dean, Jo dies in Ellen's arms, who then blows up the building, killing herself and the Hellhoundshellhounds.

The brothers find Lucifer having killed all the women and children in the town as part of the ritual to summon [[Death]], and with all the men possessed by demons. Dean shoots Lucifer with the Colt. However, he recovers instantly and reveals that there are only five beings the Colt can't kill — and he happens to be one of them. Lucifer sacrifices several demons to summon Death, stating that "they're just demons.". Meanwhile, Castiel manages to free himself from his trap and takes the brothers to Bobby's. There, Bobby throws the picture showing them all into the fire as if it is a [[Hunter's Funeral Pyrefuneral pyre]] and together with the brothers, grieves silently over Jo and Ellen's death.

'''Sam:''' Hey! ''[cocks shotgun] '' You wanted to see me?!<br>

'''Dean:''' Yeah? Well I'd hurt you. So suck it. <br>''[shoots Lucifer in the head]''

[[Crowley]]'s name is possibly a shout out to the character of the same name in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Omens Good Omens] '' by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett . }}

 :''Huggy Bear was the name of the streetwise pimp who acted as an informant for Starksy and Hutch on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starsky_and_Hutch '70s TV show].''

'''Castiel:''' I think I'm starting to feel something.<br><br> :''Possibly a reference to the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vUOwz11x0Y drinking game between Gimli and Legolas], in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.''

'''Crowley:''' So the Hardy Boys finally found me.<br>:''The [[Hardy Boys]] are brothers and amateur detectives in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy_Boys boys' own adventure children's books]. It is also the nickname given to Sam and Dean in the recaps on [[TWOP]].''

'''Meg:''' We're going to Heaven, Clarence.<br> :''A quote from [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038650/ It's a Wonderful Life], in which the angel Clarence shows Jimmy Stewart that life is worth living, and then finally gets his wings and goes to heaven.''

'''Ellen:''' Kick it in the ass... and Dean - don't miss<br>.:''"Kick it in the ass" was a catchphrases of the late [[Kim Manners]]. Samantha Ferris related [http://www.samanthaferris.net/?subaction=showcomments&id=1258749573&archive=&start_from=&ucat=& in her blog] how the line came about:''

Sam telling Lucifer that he is going to rip his heart out may be a reference to ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prophecy/ The Prophecy] '' In this movie the only way to kill an angel was to remove its heart.

In [[5.04 The End|The End]], [[Future!Dean]] tells Dean that Sam gave "the big yes" to Lucifer in Detroit. In this episode, Lucifer predicts this future to Sam, telling him "I don't know Sam, I think it will. I think it'll happen soon, within six months. And I think it'll happen in Detroit." The episode first aired on November 19, 2009. If you look at a calendar for 2010, six months from this date is the third week of May - roughly the time period for season finales of many TV shows.}}

While tweeting during the airing of [[7.04 Defending Your Life]], [[Jim Michaels]] revealed that the explosion in this episode "went way too large and we had to rebuild part of a backlot for almost $20,000." [http://twitter.com/#!/TheJimMichaels/status/125025382624788480 Source]}}
