I seriously don't know where to begin with all of the awesomeness, so you'll have to forgive me if I ramble a bit.

The season finale opens about twenty-four hours before Dashing El Deano's time on earth expires, and we find Our Intrepid Heroes plus Bobby flying about in an understandable state of panic due to the rapidly approaching deadline. After Bobby works some fancy mojo to pinpoint Lilith's location in New Harmony, Indiana, several Lilith-related strategies are proposed and discarded before Darling Sammy sneaks off and summons Ruby the Sparkly-Haired Demon on his own. He believes they can off Lilith with Ruby's Knife That Can Kill Anything, you see, and hopes to persuade the sassy demonette to hand it over. Princess Sparkle is having none of that asinine plan, however, because she claims the only way they can defeat Lilith and save Dean's life is if Sam re-accesses his "dormant" abilities from last season to fry the terrifying little bitch. Dean arrives on the scene just as Sam's about to give in to the Dark Side or whatever, and after a supremely satisfying demonette-on-Winchester throwdown, Dean manages both to swipe The Knife and to ensnare Princess Sparkle in a devil's trap, so the boys plus Bobby head off to Indiana to spear themselves a little preadolescent nightmare.

And what, precisely, has that little preadolescent nightmare been up to in Hoosierland? Tormenting a suburban family, Twilight Zone-style, of course, abetted by an entire posse of minions stationed in and around the surrounding houses to stand guard while she indulges herself on a psychotic-demonic vacation. The boys plus Bobby and Princess Sparkle -- who has somehow managed to wriggle free from the trap -- make quick work of the posse, but just as Sam's about to gut the preadolescent nightmare's preadolescent host, Dean realizes Lilith's switched bodies. With time running out in the midst of their frantic search for Lilith's new form, Sam, Dean, and Ruby barricade themselves in a desperate attempt to keep the hellhounds at bay. And then?

Turns out Lilith has evicted Ruby from Princess Sparkle and proceeds to let the hellhounds in so they can actually, honest-to-God rip Dashing El Deano to shreds! I know! It is awesome. Unfortunately for Lilith, her Super-Special Death Ray Hand fails completely when deployed against Apparently Even Super-Specialer Action Sammy, and she flees Princess Sparkle's corpse so Darling Sammy can have himself a good long cry over Dean's. And then?

We dive down into actual, honest-to-God Hell to find Dashing El Deano poked through with meat hooks! AND THEN? Hiatus! God, Kripke sucks. And I totally want to marry him in California. See you in the fall, kids!
