Honestly, I'm glad that Cas left and didn't let himself be Dean's punchbag anymore, boy deserves better. I get that Dean is grieving and he's angry but still, it wasn't the first time he does that. Every single time that Cas was no use for him anymore, he push him away.
So yea I'm glad that Cas dumped Dean's whiny bitchy ass. Periodt.
Rowena the villain who lived long enough to turn into the hero.. She will be missed, I'm really sad that we lost her she was such a great character
Also I can't believe that we lost Ketch this way! and I was really pissed until I realized that he's most likely going to hell so he might end up with Rowena finally, so a twisted happy ending for both of them you might say
Another thing I really don't like is the way Dean/Cas relationship is going, I find the way Dean treat Cas doesn't make any sense for his character and I'm really heartbroken for that last goodbye from Cas at the end.. Cas deserves better and he has always been there for the boys so I hope it's not a real goodbye and Dean would make things right
In the meantime I'm glad that the ghost problem is over, or is it!?
They're dropping like flies. The payroll department will be pleased.
oh man this episode hit me right in my feelings! Rowena sacrificing herself and her sayin goodbye to the boys was bad enough, but Cass telling Dean he thinks it’s time to move on was the final blow lol
Much better than first two episodes.
I like when their solutions are unexpected and hard to predict, even if it involves casualties like this one did.
But why does Cass always do that "I'm leaving now so I don't feel unwanted, you don't need me anyway" hymn every time it gets rocky with his family? It's so offputting.
Wow. Definitely an emotional episode! Bittersweet. Rowena, villain turned hero. I’ll miss her. The writing and acting on this episode was fantastic! All of these seasons on this show, and still, the storyline seems fresh. I hate for it to end.
I had a feeling something involving Lilith would pop up.
"Yeah, Cas will go." DEAN! You need to stop speaking for him!! One day, he's gonna smite your--
I'd been waiting for Cas to push him down the hole since they first went to it. Glad it ended up making it into the episode.
"Sam and Dean are using you. Don't mistake that for care."
"Wow, you learned that the hard way?"
DAAAMMMN! Bel, even if it's true, you have to do Cas dirty like that.
Aw, they cut off Cas singing. I was hoping to see how Misha handles trying to sing with Castiel's voice.
Bel/Jack has got quite the lung volume to be able to blow into a horn continuously for a minute.
If Cas could tackle and smite Bel at any time, why the hell did he wait so long?
How did Cas get back up, especially without Dean noticing?
I actually teared up a bit at Rowena's death. I absolutely hated her at first, but she has certainly grown on me, especially following Crowley's death. And her final words, "goodbye, boys", as though I needed another reminded of Crowley.
Oh, Cas. I'm sad that he's hurting but he REALLY need to get out of that toxic environment. I hope the show doesn't use this as an excuse to forget about him for half the season as they've done before...

I'm gonna miss Rowena. Maybe she'll be back somehow. Sam should have cried more. Perhaps Amara will snap her fingers very last episode and everything will be alright.
Rowena's death was sad yet really beautiful. Definitely one of the most emotional moments on this 15-year show's run. Well played, Ruth Connell.
Destiel's last scene felt like a breakup. Woops.
oh Rowena :sob:
goodbye Cass!!!:person_gesturing_ok:
A lot of goodbyes in this episode.
I don't know if personal loss adds to TV loss...well, just writing it makes me think, 'Of course it does -- real emotion, real grief, helps me model how to feel grief over the loss of a beloved TV character,' and one becomes a little conflated with the other. And, so it is now...even though one was my daughter, and the other a lover I never got to date! I laugh, but I am crying as well.
I’m so angry right now.
I don’t think an episode of this show has ever tugged at my emotions quite like this episode just did. Rowena was, in my opinion, the strongest supporting character that Supernatural has ever seen. Yeah, it was a noble death, but I didn’t wanna see her go so soon this season. That was rough.
The season still feels low-key in this episode but we're clearly ramping up to something seeing what happened in this one. Where to go to from here? Who knows?!!
I saw a very intrigueing fan-theory video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_UVG1PQ7og I kinda hope is correct cause it would be an epic conclusion and will launch this series into something legendary.

Thank you Rowena. Thank you for being the villain that ended up becoming a hero. Like mother, like son.
Thank you Ruth Connell. Thanks for bringing Rowena to life. She's always been excellent, but tonight, she was amazing. There was a time when I couldn't stand her but episode after episode she grew on me. Maybe it was the accent, maybe it was her wardrobe, her sass, maybe it was her relationship with Sam, but I LOVE Rowena. And I always will.
I'm not ashamed to say that I teared up during her death scene. It was depressing. The score, the symbolism, that beautiful pink good witch dress and her "goodbye, boys". Dammit Rowena. I'm gonna miss you so much.
It was once Harvey Dent who said "you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain". Well, tonight Rowena proved the opposite. The witch who sacrificed her life to save the world.
Let's not forget about Ketch. His death scene was brutal. I've never been a fan of him, but in the last two seasons, especially that heart-to-heart with Dean in Apocalypse World, changed the way I looked at him. 3 seasons ago, you tell me he's gonna die brutally, and all I say is, where do I sign? And now, here I am, mourning his loss. No matter how much you dislike him, he doesn't deserve to die like that. I'm glad he went off being loyal to the boys. However, his death felt rushed, especially because he got killed by a demon only been mentioned in the previous episode.
I've got conflicted feelings with the Cas-Dean situation. I've always hated the way the writers treat Cas. He's not a freaking punching bag. He doesn't deserve any of this shit. I love Dean with all I've got and I don't think I can ever hate him because I know him like the back of my hand but I'm tired of how he sometimes treats Cas. I know he's grieving and that I'll take time for him to heal but I'm tired of him always acting the same way towards Cas. And although I'm sad Cas wants to move on, I'm glad he made that step. I just wish he'd call on Dean being such a dick to him.
No matter how many years and seasons go by, that Americana theme always gives me the goosebumps. It will always remind me of Swan Song, of Dean holding Sam in All Hell Breaks Loose, of Sam rushing when John died, of "I'm proud of us". That score symbolizes my feelings being destroyed.
Also, Cas is completely broken. That little sob he made before killing Bel. I loved how Cas couldn't stand the fact that Bel was wearing Jack's face. It reminded me of that time when Claire said that it was difficult for her to see Cas using her dad as a vessel. I just love the paralelism.
I know this season is going to be full on callbacks, but hearing the name Lilith put a smile on my face. The same with Alastair weeks ago.
I loved Dean's description of Chuck as a glorified fanboy who wanted to end it all with a sloppy-as ghostpocalypse. I stand with what I said about Chuck last episode. He's not that good of a writer. Well, now all I hope is that the ghost are gone forever. Last season I thought it was gonna be all about revisiting past episodes, especially with Bloody Mary and the Woman in White. I'm just glad they're gone and that now we can move on.
Cas and Bel had some funny exchanges like the "that's the longer you've looked me in the eyes" or the "you sing like an angel". Speaking of, I want an outtake of Misha singing the whole song. I desperately need it!
Now this is the kind of episode a last season deserves. I hope the rest of them are as good or better than this one.
Tragically beautiful. That's how I'd describe it. I'm gonna miss Ketch. And I'm gonna miss my red-headed witch.
