Well, that was kind of underwhelming. The episode opens with Deeply Depressed El Deano on the verge of killing himself, and it pretty much goes downhill from there. Dean doesn't come anywhere near to succeeding in his planned suicide, of course, because Super-Smart Sammy followed the trail of bendy ex-girlfriends Dean so thoughtfully left behind after fleeing Blue Earth last week, and Dean ends up imprisoned in Bobby's badass panic room deep within the lush coastal rainforests of southeastern South Dakota while Sam, Bobby and Castiel try to figure out yet another alternate method for dealing with Lucifer.

Barely have they got cracking with their research, however, when Castiel senses a disturbance in The Force, or whatever, and he flutters off to the middle of nowhere to discover that certain as-yet-unknown angelic powers have resurrected Sucky John's bastard son, Adam Milligan. Heaven has apparently grown tired of Dean's stubborn intransigence as far as Michael's concerned, you see, and has promised to reunite Adam with his mother if Adam agrees to function as the archangel's Vessel. Team Free Will naturally can't be having any of that, so Adam finds himself imprisoned at Bobby's with Dean until he and Dean manage to sneak out while Bobby, Sam and Castiel have their backs turned, because Bobby, Sam and Castiel are the worst prison guards ever.

Fortunately, Castiel rather quickly tracks Dean down with the help of an especially loud street preacher and proceeds to give Our Intrepid Hero the ass-kicking he's so richly deserved since he turned into a whiny little pissypantsed bitch a couple of episodes ago before hauling him back to Bobby's. Adam, however, is much harder to find, because our old pal Zachariah's apparently whisked him away to Heaven's green room for some delicious-looking bacon double cheeseburgers and beer. Good thing, then, that Castiel knows Heaven's green room is actually located in an abandoned muffler factory in Van Nuys, California, and, after an especially satisfying smackdown of the angels guarding the place courtesy of Castiel, Sam and Dean break in to free their illegitimate half-brother.

Alas, Zachariah's just been using Adam as bait, and once Dean's in the green room, Zachariah strikes Dean's brothers down with a couple of raging cases of Ebola to force Dean to acquiesce to the angels' demands. Dean sighs and agrees, but it turns out that's just part of a crafty and cunning plan Dean concocted on the spot to get Zachariah's guard down, and the instant Zachariah relaxes a bit, Dean wastes him with Uriel's angel-smiting scimitar. And as Michael noisily descends from above to make one of the Winchesters his bitch, Dean and Sam manage to stagger from the room, but Adam's not nearly as quick and ends up trapped, eventually disappearing in a flash of Michael's brilliant white light. So, you know, expect to see him again before the end of the season.
