Free to Be You and Me
FREE TO BE YOU AND ME Episode 503 airdate: September 24, 2009 directed by: J. Miller Tobin written by: Jeremy Carver |
Sam has gone off on his own, not trusting himself to continue hunting. But a late-night visitor in the form of Jessica tells Sam that there is more in store for him. Dean and Castiel team up to trap the archangel Raphael since Cas believes Raphael knows the location of God's vessel on earth. Meanwhile, three hunters find Sam, go off to fight the demons that Sam called Bobby about, and two come back saying a demon said something about him -- and Sam admits he started the apocalypse. They try to make Sam drink demon blood so he can vanquish the demons that killed their partner, but he fights them off, only to be visited by Lucifer later (in a dream?) with news that Sam is his true vessel ... and Lucifer will find him and convince him. Meanwhile, having been told by Raphael that God is dead, Dean convinces Cas to keep looking, knowing something about missing fathers. Then he says he feels better being on his own, rather than chained to his family as he's always been ... but does he really? |
- Dean: We're humans. When we want something really, really bad, we lie.
- Castiel: Why?
Dean: Because -- that's how you become president. - Castiel: [to Dean] You're Michael's vessel, and no angel will dare harm you.
- Dean: [to Castiel] Last time you zapped me somewhere, I didn't poop for a week. We're driving.
