===Escape from Lucifer's Cage===
[[File:Lucifer's Cage Opening.jpg|350px|rightleft|thumb|The mouth to [[Lucifer's Cage]] is opened.]]
[[Lucifer's Cage]] was built to secure the [[archangel]] [[Lucifer]]. The mouth of the Cage was heavily secured by 600 locks. Only a fraction of these, called [[the 66 Seals]] needed to be broken to release Lucifer. The four individual rings belonging to the [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]], once merged together, could also open the Cage. Once secured, not even [[archangels]] can leave the Cage without a door being opened from the outside.
As Sam attempted to contact Lucifer without opening the Cage, harrowing Hell with Crowley and Rowena, Rowena was able to perform a ritual from to ''[[Book of the Damned]]'' to pull Lucifer's essence from the Cage without opening it, summoning him into a warded holding cell in Limbo.
