Supernatural

In the eleventh season premiere, Sam (JARED PADALECKI) and Dean (JENSEN ACKLES) must contend with The Darkness that’s been unleashed upon the earth.

After Dean helps Jenna (guest star LACI J. MAILEY), the nurse he met after the Darkness fell, get back home safely, he sets off to help Sam deal with a town infected by a mysterious and deadly gas. When Jenna falls into dangerous hands, however, she calls Dean for help and Sam tells him to go back to her. Unfortunately for Sam, he isn’t able to handle the townspeople turned monsters as easily as he thought.

While Rowena tries to consolidate her power to protect herself from the Winchesters, Sam and Dean search for a missing baby connected to the Darkness. Meanwhile, Castiel struggles to heal and Crowley tries to find a way to use the Darkness for his own personal gain. Series star Jensen Ackles directs.

Nobody puts Baby in a corner! Seen entirely from the point of view of the Winchesters’ Impala, Sam and Dean embark on a typical roadtrip to hunt demons and monsters – but the story is told in a decidedly atypical manner.

Sam and Dean investigate a series of murders at a small-town Maine B&B that was once home to Lizzie Borden. When a local man, Len (guest star JARED GERTNER), tells them he saw a little girl around the B&B around the time of the murders, the brothers realize Amara (guest star YASMEENE BALL) may be responsible.

Castiel seeks the help of Metatron (guest star CURTIS ARMSTRONG) to stop the Darkness. Metatron, however, is pretty happy with his new life as a freelance videographer for the local news and isn’t inclined to help Castiel or the Winchesters. Meanwhile, Crowley is losing his hold on Amara.

Minnesota Sheriff Donna Hanscum (recurring guest star BRIANA BUCKMASTER) calls Sam and Dean for help after a horrific murder with supernatural elements occurs in her town. Meanwhile, Sam continues to have visions and asks God for help, which frustrates Dean.

Sam is shocked when his childhood imaginary friend, Sully (guest star NATE TORRENCE), makes an unexpected appearance. Sam can’t understand why he’d see Sully now but what’s even more surprising is that Dean can see him, too. Flashbacks reveal young Sam’s friendship with Sully and why he needed him, in this episode directed by recurring Supernatural guest star Richard Speight, Jr.

In the midseason finale, Amara (guest star EMILY SWALLOW) unleashes her power on the local townspeople as she issues a shocking challenge. Dean tries to better understand the hold Amara has on him, while Sam and Crowley come up with a plan that could have disastrous consequences.

Now that he has Sam in the cage with him, Lucifer offers Sam a way out but it comes with a steep price. Dean and Castiel look into the angel smiting that could have killed Amara.

Sam and Dean investigate a case where people are suffering violent deaths after hearing a mysterious song.

Sam and Dean drop in on Jody Mills (recurring guest star KIM RHODES), Claire (recurring guest star KATHRYN LOVE NEWTON) and Alex (guest star KATHERINE RAMDEEN) after receiving a panicked phone call from Claire. She believes the recent murders in town are supernatural and wants the boys’ help. However, Sheriff Mills tells Sam and Dean that Claire has been getting into trouble lately as she’s been attacking normal people and accusing them of being monsters.

Sam and Dean investigate a set of murders on Valentine’s Day and discover they are dealing with an ancient curse – once kissed by the curse, the person is marked to die.

Hoping to find a weapon powerful enough to defeat Amara, Dean convinces Castiel (who is still Lucifer) to send him back in time to the last reported sighting of The Hand of God. Seeing the potential in getting his hands on the weapon, Lucifer goes along with the plan and sends Dean to 1944 on an ill-fated WWII submarine mission that sunk with the artifact. Meanwhile, Lucifer plans his next move, while maintaining the Castiel charade with Sam while they wait for Dean’s return.

Dean reads an obituary notice for a wrestler he and Sam used to watch when they were kids. Deciding they need a break from tracking The Darkness, the brothers decide to attend the funeral to pay their respects. The funeral is full of wrestlers, including Shawn Harley (guest star MIKE “THE MIZ” MIZANIN), a hotshot new wrestler with a fiery temper who pushes everyone’s buttons, and veteran wrestler Gunner Lawless (guest star ALEKS PAUNOVIC). Sam and Dean attend the next match to re-live one of their fondest childhood memories but when another wrestler turns up dead, play-time quickly turns to work.

A dangerous creature is accidentally released into an old house, attacking a mother and her child, leaving them both in a coma. Sam and Dean learn that Bobby (recurring guest star JIM BEAVER) and Rufus (recurring guest star STEVEN WILLIAMS) once tracked the same entity so the Winchesters look to the past to come up with a plan to catch the monster before any one dies.

Sam and Dean battle a pair of werewolves who have captured two victims. Just as the brothers are about to win, one of the werewolves shoots Sam. Dean gets his brother and the victims out of the house, but learns that a pack of werewolves are hot on their tail, hoping to kill them all.

The epic battle for power begins when Lucifer takes a trip home to Heaven and tries to assert himself. Meanwhile, Crowley tells Sam and Dean that he has a way to take down Amara.

In a small town in Colorado, mysterious disappearances happen every 27 years. Sam and Dean head to town to investigate and meet a pair of hunters who have a personal vendetta against these once-in-a-generation monsters.

Amara unleashes a dark fog on a small town, causing everyone to go mad. Dean and Sam realize this is a stronger version of the original black vein virus Amara previously unleashed. They team up with the sheriff to protect the town but their old remedy no longer works. Meanwhile, Chuck Shurley (recurring guest star ROB BENEDICT) returns with an interesting proposal.

Amara shows Dean how she’s torturing Lucifer. Worried for Castiel, Sam and Dean come up with a plan to rescue him from Amara’s clutches.

In the final countdown, Rowena makes her move, while Sam and Dean face their biggest challenge yet.

In the eleventh season finale, God comes to a decision about The Darkness Amara that has direct repercussions for Sam and Dean.
