In hopes of getting his hand on a weapon they can use against Amara, Dean turns to Castiel — or who he thinks is Castiel — to send him back in time in Supernatural season 11 episode 14, “The Vessel.” Meanwhile in the present, the longer Lucifer is pretending to be Castiel around Sam, the more inevitable it becomes that that facade breaks.

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.
