Castiel | Season Four - Supernatural Wiki Castiel | Season Four
In the season four premiere "Lazarus Rising", the angel Castiel is introduced. He has brought Dean back from hell, resurrecting him. Dean is skeptical, even after Castiel projects the shadows of his wings in an attempt to convince him, but both his brother Sam and fellow hunter Bobby Singer believe the claim to be true. After Dean's encounter with the Witnesses – forcibly conjured ghosts that kill the people who were unable to save them from death – in the subsequent episode, "Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester", Castiel reveals to him that Lilith is breaking the 66 seals, one of which was the raising of the Witnesses, in order to free Lucifer. In an effort to discover the endgame of the demon and season one and two antagonist Azazel's plan, Castiel sends Dean back in time in the episode "In the Beginning", to when Azazel had made a demonic pact with Mary Winchester, Dean's mother. Dean is unsuccessful in determining Azazel's plans. When Castiel returns Dean to the present, he tells him that Sam is headed down a dangerous road, and that if Dean does not stop his brother, the angels will.

In the episode "It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester", people in a small town are being sacrificed in order to summon the demon Samhain and break one of the seals. Castiel tells Dean and Sam that the angels would rather destroy the town than allow another seal to be broken. He has brought a "specialist" angel, Uriel, to facilitate this. Dean rejects this plan, and threatens to remain in the town. Castiel returns with Uriel at the end of the episode "I Know What You Did Last Summer", seeking to kill Anna Milton, a fallen angel with the ability to "hear" the communications between angels. In the following episode, "Heaven and Hell", Anna uses a spell to send the angels away, though they manage to track them down later, having threatened Dean with Sam's life. Castiel chose not to deliver this message, as according to Uriel, he liked Dean too much.
Months later in the story, Castiel impersonates Bobby Singer over the phone in the episode "Death Takes a Holiday", warning them that another seal is in danger of being broken. After the seal is saved, the brothers are separated, and Alastair confronts Dean. However, Castiel arrives and captures the demon. Even after several days of interrogation, however, they are unable to extract any information from him, especially on how the demons are killing angels. Unable to turn anywhere else, Castiel and Uriel are forced to ask Dean to torture the information out of Alastair in "On the Head of a Pin". Castiel is reluctant to make Dean go through with it, but Uriel insists that Dean has no say in the matter. In the episode "The Monster at the End of this Book", Dean finally breaks down and prays for help when a prophet foresees Sam being seduced by Lilith. Castiel appears and, though unable to directly help, drops a clue as to how to save Sam.

In "The Rapture", Castiel enters Dean's dreams and arranges a meeting to tell him something important. However, when Sam and Dean go to meet him, they instead find Jimmy, Castiel's host, who claims to have little memory of his life as a vessel. Anna theorizes that Castiel must have "pissed off" one of his superiors, prompting him to be taken back to Heaven. When Jimmy is shot at the end of the episode trying to save his family from demons, Castiel returns, taking Jimmy's daughter as his new host. After the demons are killed, a dying Jimmy begs Castiel to take him back as a host so that his daughter will not have to go through what he did, and the angel acquiesces. Dean then asks him what he needed to tell him, but Castiel coldly replies that his loyalty is to Heaven, not to mankind or to him.

In "When the Levee Breaks", Castiel has Dean take the oath of allegiance to God and his angels, to which Dean agrees under the impression that it will keep Sam safe. With Sam closing in on Lilith and all other cards falling into place, Castiel and Zachariah imprison Dean within an idyllic waiting room, where he will be made comfortable until the time comes for him to play his role in stopping the Apocalypse. Dean refuses to remain idle, and continually requests to be able to be see Sam, which is denied. Once Dean discovers that the angels are allowing the Apocalypse to happen, he implores for Castiel to help him stop the final seal from being broken. Though Castiel refuses at first, he returns ready to help not long after. He takes Dean to see Chuck for information on Sam. Their presence does not fall in line with Chuck's Gospel, so an Archangel begins to descend. Castiel sends Dean to Sam, remaining behind to hold back the Archangel and any others that might come.
