Ever since Castiel said yes to Lucifer on Supernatural, Crowley has been the devil’s pet, but that changes in season 11 episode 15, “Beyond the Mat.” Crowley gets out of his chains and out of hell, but he ends up facing off against Casifer over a Hand of God. While it could’ve ended better for him, Crowley does at least get away in the end.
Here’s what leads to Crowley escaping from Casifer in “Beyond the Mat.”
Casifer Treats Crowley Like His Slave, Having Him Clean the Floor with a Toothbrush and Then His Tongue
While demons stand by and watch, Crowley lets Casifer order him around, responding “Nothing, master” and asking if he can return to his task when addressed. And when Casifer takes the toothbrush and orders him to use his tongue, he does.

“Can’t leave,” he says. He still has friends, she tells him, friends who want him back and Lucifer gone. He’s not a slave, a dog. He’s Crowley, and the devil should be afraid of him.

When he first sees them, he plays the “she made me” card before shoving Simmons at them and then killing them both. “I’m Crowley,” he tells her. Enough said.

That’s When Casifer Shows up, Having “Invented the Double Cross, Like Literally”
Simmons is on his side. She hates Crowley, just like every demon in hell. “Maybe once you were the evilest evil that ever eviled, present company excluded,” Casifer acknowledges, “but now, you’re nothing but Dean Winchester’s number one fan.”

If it’s on TV — especially if it’s a procedural or superhero show — chances are Meredith watches it. She has a love for all things fiction, starting from a young age with ER and The X-Files on the small screen and the Nancy Drew books. Arrow kicked off the Arrowverse and her true passion for all things heroes. She’s enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that her latest obsession is Prodigal Son.
