From the second the episode began I knew the woman playing the arcade game was an angel of some sort. And when the redhead came in yielding two angel swords, an eye patch, and a major attitude, I knew she had to be more than the average angel. The first angel, whom we learn is Benjamin, finds himself in a compromising position. Angel sword pressed against his heart, he calls out to the rest of the angels. And something says, this is just what this redhaired mystery vixen wants. But, it certainly didn’t save Benjamin.

With the way the last episode ended it was nice to see I wasn’t the only one bothered by Billie’s cosmic threat. Dean seemed just as concerned by her words. After all, considering all they have encountered, none of that has really been on the cosmic scale, regardless of how crazy. So who knows how much is at stake from Castiel’s latest uh-oh. But something tells me Castiel isn’t done making silly choices, after all, he is known for that. And when he is bummed out, his decision making skills tend to be even weaker. So it’s concerning to seeing him set out to find the cause of Benjamin’s call for help.

When the trio arrives at the scene of Benjamin’s demise, Castiel is over taken once again by emotion. He can’t seem to wrap his head around how this could have happened to such a strong soldier as Benjamin. And that’s when they find the angel sword, which further confuses them I am sure. What kind of angel would harm another? Though we have seen it before. Once Castiel holds the found sword he can tune into who it belongs to. A skill that would come in handy for lost objects you may find, but I guess that’s a skill left to the angels. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the only one to tune into energy, as our vixen also felt his energy.

Whoever this vixen is, Castiel feels the need to call on another old angel friend he fought under, Ishim. And it doesn’t seem Ishim is a real fan of Castiel. As we have heard before, he doesn’t agree with the sacrifices Castiel has chosen to make. Putting humans above his angel brethren doesn’t sit well with them. So when Dean storms into their meeting with Sam in tow, it again doesn’t look good for Castiel. But, he did warn them these angels don’t like humans. I guess Castiel isn’t the only one who makes selfish choices, is he Dean?

What looks even worse is when Ishim sends his lackey Mirabel out to see if Castiel brought along anyone else and turns up dead. Not cool, vixen lady, not cool. When Ishim finds Mirabel in the alley, our mystery vixen takes advantage and strikes. Luckily for him, Castiel was still around, and steps in. As Ishim is yelling for Cas to her, he tries to place her; he knows her somehow. This is where, as always, Sam and Dean step in to help out. Maybe this will change Ishim’s mind about humans? But I doubt it. This mystery woman tells Sam and Dean she doesn’t want to harm any human, she just wants to finish what she has started. This peaks my interest even more. Just who is she? And why does she want to smite all these angels so badly? She obviously has some deep grudge. Before we can get any answers, she blinds them with her bright light and takes off. Now that’s a cool party trick, am I right?

When we learn the story of where Ishim and Castiel knew this red-haired mystery woman, Lily, it makes sense. They were sent to kill her family, who wouldn’t want revenge? But if she had birthed a nephilim, how is it she had power now? And what is with the patch? I have so many questions watching this, I hope they all get answered. And then Ishim drops a bomb that answers my biggest question, the source of her power. She made a demonic pact; that is not good, at all. She is immune to angel power. They are indeed up for a fight. And moms will fight hard for their children, so I’m sure it’s going to get messy. I am surprised at the guys’ naive decision to confront Lily alone. Regardless of her declaration not to hurt humans, it’s still a reckless move. I was shocked by the bomb Lily dropped when they arrived. The nephilim that Cas, Ishim, and the other were sent to kill, wasn’t a nephilim after all. Lily’s daughter’s father wasn’t the angel Akobel as they had thought. So they had taken two innocent lives. Talk about depressing. If we thought Cas was in a bum mood before, wait until he hears the truth of his mission. Ishim had known the truth the entire time and had acted on jealousy. How messed up is that! I knew he was a grade A jerk, but holy moly, that’s so cold. Knowing this information puts Sam and Dean in a compromising position. Castiel was involved in some shady business, whether he was aware of it or not. He has risked everything to protect them in the past, are they going to have to do the same for him? Castiel being one of my favorites, I really hope Lily doesn’t have her mind set on killing him and keeps it to only Ishim. Again we find out another lie Ishim has told. Lily isn’t using dark magic, she is using angel magic. But with a price. With each spell, she sacrifices a piece of her soul. That’s deep.

And of course when Dean tells Cas the information he was given, Ishim overhears. Given the fact this jerk just got his power restored, this is not looking good. When a fight ensues between Ishim, Castiel, and Dean I wasn’t too surprised. But to see Lily show up with Sam… I wasn’t quite betting on that. But seeing he is the one she wants revenge on most, I shouldn’t have been too surprised. When Lily took her eye patch off I couldn’t help but think of X-Men’s Cyclops. But before this Sheclops could execute her revenge, Castiel steps in just as he had done with Billie. Has he not learned his lesson? I can’t imagine she will be too pleased; she sacrificed her soul and didn’t get to be the one to kill Ishim. Over one hundred years of imagining that moment, gone. Though, Castiel’s apology was spot on. I guess we will see if she accepts it. Something tells me we will see her again. I hope for one she comes as an ally, not a foe. Even after all this, Cas knows he still needs to hunt down Kelly and her devil spawn. That kid needs to be dealt with. Maybe he’s the cosmic consequence? I can’t wait to find out.
