Because there will obviously be spoilers in this piece, and let’s just say THEY’RE BIG.

So again, I’d stop reading this if I were you.

(And also because where else would I start?)

We pick up right wherelast week left off: Jack is about to blow.

And she is NOT happy.

As far as she’s concerned, the boys ruined her plan.

But she does know how to help Jack… sort of.

She sends Jack to the Empty where he promptly explodes.

But don’t worry, he’s not dead.

The Empty is, however, PISSED.

After all, she needs to read the new ending (which she calls “interesting”).

Injured, she drops God’s death book, leaves her scythe and Jack behind, and vanishes.

Sam, ever the optimist, says they’ll regroup “somehow.”

So, together, the brothers raise their glasses to “somehow.”

Naturally, she calls Sam and Dean, and it seems this is part of a pattern.

While the boys talk to Charlie, Castiel and Jack catch up outside.

Jack is feeling strange.

(It’d be weird if he wasn’t.)

He doesn’t know why he’s here.

Cas assures him that they never cared about him because he was useful.

“We care about you because you’re you,” Cas tells Jack.

Jack admits that, without his powers, he’s scared.

And Cas is too.

The four guys hop in the Impala and Sam texts Eileen to wait for them outside her place.

She was mid-text when she vanished.

Unable to let himself get too emotional, Sam snaps into survival mode.

While he does that, Dean is going to go kill Death.

They still have her scythe, and he wants to “go reap a reaper.”

At the bunker, Dean grabs Death’s scythe, and he and Cas head to Death’s library.

Lisa Berry is so good in this role.

But Death quickly informs them that she’s not the one messing with their friends.

That would be Chuck.

As Dean and Cas learn the truth, we cut back to Sam and everyone.

Aside from Sam and Jack, everyone disappears, including Charlie, Bobby, and even Donna.

But either way, it’s a powerful, chill-inducing scene.

And things only get more upsetting from there.

Billie reveals to Dean and Castiel that when Dean cut her, he essentially killed her.

That wound is fatal, and now, her dying wish is to see Dean dead.

Castiel and Dean take a stab at run, but that’s pointless.

It works, but it’s only a matter of time before Billie busts through that door.

Just because he was angry and needed something to kill?

“Everybody’s gonna die,” Dean says, spiraling.

And that’s when Cas gets an idea.

It’s in just saying it."

Crying now, Castiel tells Dean that it’s not anger that drives him.

You’re the most caring man on Earth.

You are the most selfless loving human being I will ever know."

Because you cared, I cared.

I cared about you, I cared about Sam, I cared about Jack.

But I cared about the whole world because of you.

You changed me, Dean."

Dean, unsure of exactly what’s happening, asks why this sounds like a goodbye.

Castiel responds, “Because it is.”

Honestly, just writing it makes me cry.

It’s the same handprint we saw in season 4 before we’d even met Castiel.

We wondered who could’ve possibly saved Dean from hell.

And then we got to meet him, the angel who would become family.

Castiel’s final words are “Goodbye, Dean.”

That is the kind of death scene you dream of for a character you love.

I, on the other hand, will never stop crying.

We are IN IT now, guys.
