Asmodeus is pissed. He’s lost Gabriel. Lost Lucifer and Castiel and Jack. In a last-ditch effort to regain control, he goes after his “brother’s” failed experiment: Sam Winchester.
Sam, the one who was supposed to be the Boy-King of Hell. Who was fed Azazel’s blood at 6 months of age. Who was groomed to become the vessel for Lucifer. Who DID house the archangel and then spend centuries in the cage.
Now, Asmodeus, last Prince of Hell, has been juicing on archangel grace. And he’s in need of a replacement pet seeing as his last one was stolen so rudely. May as well try keeping this one on a leash of blood-lust.
Sam doesn’t do well in Hell. The demon-grace blood reawakens Sam’s old powers…and sparks some new ones. But can he keep himself sane long enough to gain control? Will anyone even notice he’s gone? Gabriel was practically catatonic and Cas more worried about Dean and Jack than anything else when Sam was taken by demons on a grocery run.
And time…moves so much faster in Hell…

Meanwhile I’m not even paying attention to Cas, Sam, and Gabe
because I had to smugly reblog our Charlie post from last week. But, uh, stuff happens with those three. Gabe is still damaged.
Jump to Anael/Sister Jo who is as annoyed with Lucifer as we are. I hope she teams up with
Duma to take him down.
Dean and Ketch argue about their sneak attack. Ketch thinks the mission to rescue Charlie is personal and YES that is correct. It is personal, Ketch.
Cas walks in and sees the Enochian on the walls in Gabe’s room. We’re in awe that
a) a fan translated this and found actual coherent text and b) the set designers put that much
effort into it.
Lucifer walks in on a good ole fashioned exorcism and that demon
just scampers right on out of that young woman.
Whoa. Dean. That bullet wound. That’s some straight up decaying vessel
shit.
Ah the bullet has MoL poison in it. I guess…it’s a good thing
Ketch is here?
“No matter how many times I try to fight it…” (Just when you think you’re out they pull you back in.) Uh Sam, way to
deliver a pep talk to Gabe.
Well, the mention of porn stars pulled Gabe right
outta his funk. Of course. We shoulda had Dean talk to him and play some Casa Erotica.
Dean’s trying to soldier his way through five miles after getting shot and then
collapses. Oh…Dean bean.
Ketch does make a sensible suggestion (to leave and regroup) if we had no emotions. But
since we DO we’re with Dean. We’ve gotta save Charlie.
This snowy background is really pretty for the AU.
Hey, Ketch has lost people too! (Boris: your good friend Mick, for
example. You lost him when you killed him.)
“Who the hell is calling Sam?” Boris asks. “All his friends
are dead.” LOL. Oh. It’s Asmodeus.
Ah, I’m glad to hear Lucifer can’t actually fix the angels’ wings.
Keeps that plot convenience intact and makes sure Cas has gotta drive a succession of crappy cars.
Operation rescue Charlie is a go. I repeat. It IS a go.
So. Can Dean say “come with me if you want to live?” when he rescues Charlie?
Ah the bunker is under attack and the warding glows and glows…
will it hold up? Oh. Apparently not since…hello, demons.
Asmodeus is annoying. I hope he dies right now. At Gabriel’s hand?
Come on, Gabe. Do us a solid.
Ah good. Gabe’s got his shit back. And by shit, I mean wings and
powers, obv.
Excellent. Kentucky fried Asmodeus. (Boris fully agrees with @mittensmorgul that the big
bad of this episode is dramatic irony.)
As expected, Gabe is NOT on board with joining Team Free Will.
I mean, of course Charlie would stay in the AU with her friends. But I am coated in tears.
COATED in them.
