So we finally get acknowledgement that the Mark of Cain is going to go somewhere with the brother-killing.
I can't help wondering if the earlier mention of Adam in the season was some sort of breadcrumb, but that's probably giving Carver too much credit. Still, that might be one way to tie up some issues. Open up Lucy's cage, kill Adam to fulfill the Cain side of things. If Michael was free, he might be able to clean up the whole Heaven issue. And finally taking out Lucifer for good could wrap up their 11th and (hopefully) final season, and let the boys go out in a blaze of glory. We've already seen that Carver likes to repeat story lines; I wouldn't put it past him to borrow from a better season to repeat.
