S09.E03: I'm No Angel

[catrox14]

Ezekiel tells Dean a group of angels is hunting Castiel. Dean and Sam race to find their friend before the angels do. Meanwhile, a homeless Castiel is trying to make his way through the city and comes across some unexpected surprises.

 

This episode could have been really good.  But alas some of it was just too on the nose with the faith discussion and Cas' talking about being human.

 

 I don't even know where to begin with the whole Castiel having sex with a lying reaper(raper). So many problems with consent in this episode.  Squicky, squicky, squicky.

 

But as always, the scenes between Dean and Cas crackle because Jensen and Misha are just amazing together.  When Dean holds Cas' face in his hands because he thinks he's dead, and his eyes filling with tears and his voice breaking....my poor little heart was breaking. But even worse,  NotEzekiel convinces Dean that Sam could die if Castiel stays in the lair, because other angels will find them.  The look on Cas' face...when Dean tells him he can't stay, I'm done.

What I remember about this episode is that they so had me for a while. I found Castiel's human journey interesting, for a while, but the moment the reapers entered the picture it went downhill quickly. Don't get me started on the nonsense surrounding rouge reapers and such.

 

The other thing I remember about this episode is, for a once-celestial being, Castiel has no sense of direction--he was meandering all over the place and hardly ever heading in the direction he needed to get to the bunker. I kept thinking--dude you need to get a map!

[DittyDotDot]

Goodness gracious! For a bit there, I was totally baffled knowing this was written by the Horrible Duo. They so had me at the start. They really did. Following Cass on his new human journey while Sam and Dean are following his trail, that was totally working for me. Even Barty-Bart-Angel and his little Buddy Boyle con was entertaining me But, then the rouge reapers showed up and it all went down the crapper after that. The first rogue reaper was bad enough, but adding April on the top so Cass can not only get laid, but also tortured just makes me really shake my head. All just so we can have the angel-sword-protection jokes at the end. Sigh.

 

I do enjoy the Sam and Dean scene at the beginning, there's some nice character beats and I like how they keep showing how Dean is digging himself in deeper with his secrets and lies. And for some reason I'm highly amused that Sam brings breakfast for only Dean...I thought Kevin was family and they would die for him? I know, I know, but still. I also am really drawn to the scene with Cass in the church having the discussion about faith. Nice work by Misha in this episode.

 

I'll just end on: friends don't save friends just to turn them back out in the cold again.

 

ETA: Forgot to mention that I also find it humorous that Cass apparently has no sense of direction. He goes from Colorado, to Iowa, to Michigan in attempts to make it to Kansas? He was closer when he started then when they found him. Dude needed to buy a map!

My anger with Dean sending Cas away is mitigated by Ezekiel telling Dean that Sam is in danger if Cas stays. Dean will always put Sam above anyone and everyone especially now since Dean is responsible for Sam's status right now not to mention the guilt. He broke my heart but I get why. It just sucks.

[DittyDotDot]

Oh, I get why he did it and I guess it makes sense. I mean, it makes sense, but doesn't make sense in this should've been a big red herring for Dean to start questioning the Angel-In-A-Sam here. The actual kicking Castiel to the curb doesn't bother me at all, the fact that it doesn't set off alarms for Dean does.

 

However, Castiel had just stated that Sam and Dean were going to be good teachers in humanity...just saying. ;)

[catrox14]

To be fair, humanity sucks a lot of the time. I guess Cas is learning more personally that part of humanity. Dean resisted Ezekiel's demands to send Cas away but when Ezekiel was pretty adamant that Sam was still in danger, Dean relented. But I do think this was the beginning of Dean wondering what was up.

[rue721]

This is petty and apparently nbd within the world of the show, but I thought that Dean was needlessly cold to Castiel. He didn't even say Cas needed to go because he had a plan brewing that he needed to keep private or anything, he just made it seem like he plain didn't want Cas there. The worst thing, imo, was that even though Cas was in pretty dire straits, Dean was like, "Cas can handle himself," and didn't even bother trying to help Cas out once he knew Cas was going to have to leave. No help with food or money or a place to crash at all, just "here's your hat, what's your hurry"? He couldn't even call up a friend who Cas could stay with for a while and give him a ride to the bus station, buy him a ticket? I mean, Cas *can* handle himself if he absolutely needs to, but wtf man, that's not how you treat a friend when he's down. This is yet another instance when I fail to understand that friendship.

[catrox14]

I think Dean was very conflicted about asking Cas to leave. He'll always choose Sam over someone else, generally but considering that Dean searched high and low to find Cas and was devastated when Cas was killed by the reaper so much to the point that he had Ezekiel resurrect Cas even as it might have weakened Sam's body.  So for me, I think Dean being kind of cold and straightforward was steeling himself to tell Cas he has to leave.  I think it  seemed more cold because of the bonding that just happened. But I feel pretty sure it was breaking Dean's heart to ask him to leave.

[DittyDotDot]

but considering that Dean searched high and low to find Cas and was devastated when Cas was killed by the reaper so much to the point that he had Ezekiel resurrect Cas even as it might have weakened Sam's body. 

 

I actually don't care about this all that much, doesn't really bother me that he threw Cass out--I realize it's plot convenience because Cass wasn't in the next episode--I just think there were many better and less forced ways to do this. However point of clarification: The-Angel-In-A-Sam saved Cass all on his own. Dean didn't ask him to do a thing and actually looks surprised to see him do it. Also, Dean didn't even know that saving Cass weakened the angel until the next episode. I kinda thought Dean was pretty aloof in the previous episode about finding Cass and helping him--something about him being just fine when Sam asked about going to look for him. Of course, his tune changed in this episode because that's what the plot dictated. So, I don't really see Dean sacrificing all that much to find and save Cass myself, I see the plot needing something so it happened, whether it was organic or not.

 

I'll save the rest of my comments about Dean and Cass for Heaven Can't Wait. Something for y'all to look forward to, I'm sure. ;)

[catrox14]

Thanks for clarifying DDD. I must be confusing that with another time Dean asked Ezekiel to save someone.  

 

I don't think Dean was being aloof about Cas. I think he was trying to convince himself that Cas would be okay because he was trying to keep the EzeSam thing a secret and he was overcompensating.  If we think back to 9.1 Dean was telling Cas to be safe and head for the bunker. I don't think much changed between then and this episode except Ezekiel telling Dean that Sam was in danger because Cas was a wanted angel. That was enough to push Dean to ask Cas to leave, but as always MV.

[supposebly]

Just another case of lazy writing for cheap drama. Instead of Castiel's devastated face, they could have ended with Dean giving him money, an address, something. This way, Dean wouldn't have come off so bad and OOC.

 

I don't remember, did Dean even tell Cas why he couldn't stay? Or were they even too lazy to come up with something reasonable for that?

[rue721]

I don't know if it was a writing flub or a really clumsy way of furthering Dean and Cas's character arcs for the season (or both). Dean got progressively colder and harsher over the course of the season, so maybe it wasn't OOC for him to be harsh with Cas like that? And Cas became willing to accept really *anything* from Dean without requiring anything from him, too. I actually think it was terrible that Cas got to the point that he

chose Dean over that angel army.

So I guess Castiel not being like DUDE WUT when Dean just threw him out for no known-to-him reason and without even trying to throw him a bone, and then Cas proceeding to not even hold a grudge about it at all, was in-character and in-step for his arc over the course of the season, too. I guess Cas and Dean's S9 character arcs were the inverse of each other?

[DittyDotDot]

I don't remember, did Dean even tell Cas why he couldn't stay? Or were they even too lazy to come up with something reasonable for that?

 

Nope, the episode ends on Castiel's wounded face after Dean says he can't stay. I have a theory about what they were trying to do with this, but it's better suited for the Heaven Can Wait thread. Even with my theory, though, they really could've done this better, IMO.

[Goldmoon]

The look on Cas' face...when Dean tells him he can't stay,

OMG.  (What is nbd by the way?)  I just felt so bad for Cas here.  Dean was such a dick and even though the audience knows what was going on, Cas must have thought that now that he didn't have any power, Dean had no use for him any longer.  If I were him, I would have freed Crowley and warned Kevin about Dean's fake family speech on the way out.

[rue721]

(What is nbd by the way?)

 

No big deal

Cas must have thought that now that he didn't have any power, Dean had no use for him any longer.

 

Oh wow, I hadn't thought of that, but you're probably right. How sad.

[Ubiquitous]

That's exactly what I was thinking, in addition to "Why didn't Dean tell him why?".

[catrox14]

Every time Dean thought about saying something Ezekiel manipulated him into not saying anything because then Ezekiel  would no longer have Sam's vessel as a threat to hang over Dean.  

[RulerofallIsurvey]

• I don't know what time it was when the Cas and the work crew were picking up trash, but I can't believe no one found the two dead priests before he did.  Surely, someone would have went looking for them before then?
• Don't know how Buddy could keep trusting Bart after that sweet girl exploded.  Angel or not, that's a bad sign.
• One of the best scenes was Cas eating with the homeless camp.  I liked the rapport he seemed to have with the homeless guy.  They should have explored that more - let them have a longer conversation.
• Oh come on, Dean's never even heard of 'It's a Wonderful Life'?  I don't believe it.
• Never had one.  Never seriously looked into getting one, but tats must be cheap.  Cas didn't look like he had that much cash in his palm.
• Reapers are angels, right?  But Cas is human (working something out here..) because he lost his grace.  (But can still hear angel radio - that's another problem).  So could angels track any human they wanted?  I'm not sure that's something that's ever been addressed before.  Angels can see each other's and demons "true" faces.  But if Cas is human, how did April know it was Cas?  Was it because he told her his name?  Or was it when she found the angel blade?  I'm thinking she shouldn't have been able to see his "true" face because he lost his grace and it was just by luck that she stumbled across him.
• Love the boys being savvy enough to know someone was following them and get the drop on them.
• Cas apparently never had the need or urge to have sex before he lost his grace even though he was in a human vessel.  Why would April bother if she's just going to kill him anyway?  Is the fall the difference?  Do angels get horny now?
• Sam getting ko'd by a girl makes me smile.  :)
• I thought the line about the boys being good teachers was foreshadowing for the future?  But I guess they just meant teaching Cas how to be human.  Shame.  I like my interpretation better.  :)
• Finally - Cas getting kicked out of the bunker after spending all this time getting him there... does NOT compute.  I don't care what Zeke says.

Reaper lore has been very inconsistent since S8. Personally, I never considered them angels until later in S9, but their own species. Apparently they are literally angels of death, though. Which sets up it's own set of problems because wouldn't have the reapers been depowered by getting kicked out of heaven, too? Whatever...this is just a rabbit hole and best to avoid it altogether.

Anyhoo, I believe Cass is not truly human. He's depowered, without his grace, but he also doesn't have a soul. Which is maybe why April could recognize him? I really don't know. I assumed that it was just chance that she ran across him, though. 

As to humans: yes, angels can track them. That's why Cass branded Sam and Dean's ribs in S5 and why they carry hex bags with them most of the time--to hide themselves from demons and angels alike.

Huh, maybe they did get depowered, and that's why Maurice had to resort to the old fashioned tail Sam and Dean method.  What I wonder about more is - and I think someone brought this up on another thread, but I can't remember where I read it - that Death would allow his reapers to go all rogue anyway.  But like you said, rabbit hole...

Okay, yep.  That makes more sense to me also.  After re-watching that part again, I really do think it was coincidence that she found him.

Oh thank you!  Forgot all about the Enochian rib carving.  But maybe the writers have too?  Cause if they still have it (do they still have the carving?  It's not like getting a regular tat lasered off) and Maurice is an angel - even angel of death - seems like he and Bart found them pretty easily.

That's one of the great mysteries.

I tend to think they still have them. It does seem like angels can't find them unless they summon them or pray to them. Although Cass does seem to find them all the time without prayer, so I don't know. Maybe they have a magic coin they carry on them that Cass can hone in on...or it's just Dean. ;)

There's a theory out there that they don't have them anymore. Sam's was removed when he was resurrected from Hell and Dean's was removed when Cass healed him in Swan Song.  This is also how people explain Dean's hand scar missing in a S6 episode.

I'm pretty sure the show has forgotten about this or simply remembers when they need them to be hidden from angels. It's like the bunker, warded against all evil, except when it's not. Or the knife that can kill anything except when it can't.

[Dobian]

A great episode simply because of this nugget of wisdom from Dean: "Life ain't just burritos and strippers"

[bettername2come]

It's ridiculous how much I like seeing Castiel in casual clothes and a hoodie. "Real bacon and eggs, extra grease. Not even gonna argue." Aw, good little brother. Poor exploding girl. I always enjoy Castiel spending more time getting to know humanity outside of the Winchesters. "Look at the chemicals. Do you even ready the label." "I read 'pie.' The rest is just blah, blah, blah." So much for Sam not arguing. It's a miracle Sam didn't realize something was up when Dean was trying to speak in code to Ezekiel. But now I'm questioning his intelligence. Is it just me or is Misha Collins bloody for like 2/3 of his shirtless scenes throughout the show? At some point I'm gonna need an exact count of how many times Sam and Dean have been flung into walls by various supernatural creatures. "You must not be defeated by anger or despair. Or hedonism for that matter." I want that bumper sticker. How did Dean explain kicking Cas out of the bunker. 

[Hanahope]

Hah, Cas learning all about being human.  I was surprised the woman angel killed him just because Cas could be right that he's needed to reverse whatever Metatron did.

Sam/zeke telling Dean that Cas couldn't stay in the safest place should be a huge red flag.  And Cas should know something's up too.

Spoiler

He basically begs Ezekiel to save Charlie when she dies in the next episode. I think he doesn’t ask him to save Castiel here because he wasn’t aware Ezekiel could do it before then.

Since Castiel has been wearing the Jimmy visage for years now I think it’s feasible she knew him on side. Castiel is pretty infamous in heaven. He was a leading general in their civil war and briefly became a despot who slaughtered thousands of them. I’d imagine both Cas’ angelic face and his ‘Jimmy’ face is etched on the memory of practically every angel still life in existence. 

[Iju]

this whole episode, my mother was just sitting there and groaning at cass. turns out she loves him even more than bobby and is very protective of him. she didn't like him experiencing humanity one bit. i mean, i didn't either, but she was a real trip about it!

i don't think that's the case at all. we have to put into accounts that sam is near death constantly and rather, sending cass away would be saving him and sam. cass wouldn't bring all the angels down to one place to be annihilated at once, and sam and dean wouldn't be killed afterwards due to pure spite. and moreso than last season, dean's feelings for sam are heightened to i would say parental degrees (very protective, tendency to worry a lot, checking constantly on the child's safety, etc). he probably has nerve wracking anxiety as well. he just can't afford to worry about anyone else right now. sam isn't exactly well just because he's alive. so i didn't find it cold at all, and as i said before in the end it was safer for all three of them. and at least dean told sam what was going on (at least that's what the show proposes).

[The Companion]

I am with everyone here. I loved this episode until I didn't. Watching Castiel adjust to the human experience was very entertaining. I loved watching all these realizations. He is learning what being human means, which I find particularly interesting and very watchable. 

The other angels, meanwhile, continue to prove what I have always said. Angels are demons with good PR. And here they go ramping that PR machine up.

I was a little relieved April WAS bad because otherwise she had 0 self preservation. Girl, he's hot but he also admitted to being stabby. Hot hobo sex isn't worth it. 

I couldn't help but think the entire episode that Dean was trusting Ezekiel way too much. He has no way of knowing whether Sam is healing and it is clear at the end that Ezekiel has his own motivations. Dean has really great instincts, but this is such a bad idea and I wonder if it is the first time they failed him spectacularly or if he has the same reservations he normally would and is just that desperate.

Anyway, the fact that Dean listened to Ezekiel and so coldly dismissed Castiel was heartbreaking. Props to Misha, that face was so sad. 

The other issues is what they have done to reapers, which are suddenly visible and fairly easily disposed of. How they went from fairly unstoppable to this is beyond me, but the change is so boring. And agree with the above. Death runs a tight ship. 

Still, the story is substantially better than S8, so I am happy.

There was no second date.

When I was in college a guy called me in the middle of the night and told me he lived under a bridge.  I mean there was more to the conversation than that, I think, but that's all I remember.  I kept trying to get him off the phone and I told a couple of friends the story the next day and they asked why I hadn't hung up.  I literally never even considered it.  I used to be super-polite.  Anyway, they also asked me if he was a troll since he lived under a bridge.  Maybe he was.

Lol that’s awesome. I have a good one too that I think supernatural fans would appreciate. I went on a blind date in college. At dinner, he asked me to call him Lord Dark Panther because he said that was his voodoo Wiccan name or something. Then he whipped out a pentagram and told me he once tried to kill his parents. I excused myself and went to the restroom and left via the bathroom window. There was no second date.

Yeah it was an old steakhouse in Orlando that I think was converted from an old house or something. It doesn’t exist anymore. To this day, I can beat anyone’s blind date stories with mine...and this was in like 1996!
