Supernatural meets War

The apocalypse is coming, and only one person can stop it. No, I'm not talking about Dean or Sam, I'm talking about God. What a great start to the episode - Cas needs to find God. Hehehe, what a thing for an angel to say.
And the amulet that's going to indicate to him where God is? The necklace that Sam gave Dean when they were kids. Once he handed the necklace over, Dean said he felt naked. Unfortunately he wasn't...but hopefully we'll get more of that soon.
We did, however, get something else I've been wanting for a while. We finally have met up with Ellen and Jo again. Both alive and hunting together. When they met up, Ellen hugged Dean tight, then slapped him across the face for not contacting her and making her worry. I guess that means we get to see more of them and other hunters, like Rufus. Dean and Sam aren't the only ones trying to prevent so much bloodshed in the face of the end of days.
Despite their efforts, the prophesies of Revelations are coming to pass. Believing they were fighting demons, our heroes took their time to realize that illusion was the real problem. They saw black demon eyes where there were none. Dean, having noticed a wicked red car, figured out that the enemy was the rider of the red horse, War. But you can't kill War, or any of the horsemen. Dean and Sam did part him from his rings that were making the illusions.
Despite the nice quip about dropping the ring in mount Doom, Sam and Dean did not part of the best of terms. Oh, that's right. They parted.
Sam doesn't trust himself anymore than Dean does, so the boys part. I wonder how long that is going to last. I really wish you could just get them back on approximately the same page so they could focus on fighting the apocalypse and not on their family crisis.
This episode did give me some hope. After all, despite the appearance of it being about demons, it was about something else. I would love to see more and more interesting and creative plot lines come out of revelations, the four horsemen and any other bizarre circumstances of the bible. Carry on, my wayward Winchesters.
