Supernatural combines extreme talent of every sort - acting, writing, directing, etc. I always expect the best, and, even in the most absurd episode (I'm looking at the one with the suicidal Teddy bear), I always get just that. With so little time to tell so much, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) took their time on their mission to recover the ring from Pestilence. It was over within the first half of the episode, and yet it did not feel at all rushed or lacking in development.
There was still time in the episode for amusement, such as Bobby (Jim Beaver) and Crowley (Mark Sheppard)'s kiss and Cas (Misha Collins)'s return, as well as emotions, with Bobby regaining the use of his legs.
The second half, Sam and Dean separated so that each could accomplish the two tasks necessary to stop imminent disaster, and, again, both missions were completed successfully, believably, and taking just the right amount of time, leaving us fully satisfied that all that needs to take place next week is a battle of wills between Sam and Lucifer, which should end with Lucifer back in Hell and the Apocalypse put off for a while to come.
What will happen next? I don't think any of us expected Dean to actually end up in Hell despite having sold his soul, but he did and the ensuing plot lines were absolutely splendid. If Sam lets Lucifer in, says yes, then gets him back in jail, I doubt there will be a quick fix to returning him to Dean anymore than there was a quick fix returning Dean to Sam then.
But have we even considered the possibility that they won't win? Might Lucifer find another way and we have another season of Apocalyptic disaster? What do you think will happen on the Season Finale of Season 5, and during Season 6?
