Synopsis: Dean convinces “Castiel”, who is still Lucifer, to
send him back in time to the last reported sighting of the Hand of God which
could be useful as a weapon against Amara. Lucifer sees the potential in
getting his hands on this weapon so goes along with it and sends Dean to 1944
to the fated submarine mission that sunk the Hand of God. Meanwhile, continuing
his charade with Sam while they wait for Dean’s return, Lucifer plans his next
move.
Review: Kicking things off with a bang… or well I guess it
was a stab, but still you get my drift. We are introduced to Delphine Seydoux,
a dame working with the Men of Letters to retrieve an item that has been found
by the Nazi’s during WWII. This weapon is described as the Hand of God, the
boys believe it will be a good weapon to use against the Darkness. To get this
weapon, Castiel takes Dean back in time to the submarine that is transporting
Delphine and the weapon back to America.
Dean ends up stuck in awkward situations in a time he doesn’t belong in,
good times.
While Dean is trying to smooth talk his way out of trouble and complete
his part of the mission, Sam and Cas are working to find a way to get Castiel
to help Dean. With success Dean is able
to get the weapon off the ship and back to current day, but to do so Delphine
had to touch the weapon absorbing the power of God into her self. I hoping it isn’t the last we see of Delphine
and her God welding power as soon the boys will need something to take down the
darkness.
While the Hand of God ended up being a bust, the episode was
informative, the boys now know that Castiel is not the one in charge of his
meat suit. Sam and Dean now have their hands fill with trying to save Castiel
from Lucifer and stop the darkness.
Looks like the deck is stacked pretty high against the boys, but I’m
sure they will figure something out. They always do. We also got to see what has become of
Crowley, while mostly funny, it does look like another humbling lesson for
Crowley as he has now become Lucifer’s “pet dog”. Crowley always does what’s
best for Crowley, I’m sure this will lead him to teaming up with the boys to
put Lucifer back in his box… or possibly kill. We will have to wait and see.
Final Thoughts: Thank goodness the boys know about Lucifer,
while it was funny at first it was painfully obvious that there was something
wrong with Castiel. Them not noticing kind of makes them look like bad friends.
Oddly enough though, that was really the only crucial part of the episode. With
the hand of God now being a bust with no power, the episode sort of felt like
it was all a waist. The American Sub still sank, though it took the German war
ship down with it and the boys still have no weapon to use against the darkness.
It was still enjoyable to watch overall, but it felt like the episode left you
wondering “well now what”.
