There follows a scene between Gender Dysphoric Castiel and Jimmy that, while touchingly enacted by at least one of the participants -- and I think you know which darling dearest I'm talking about, here -- drags on approximately three hours and forty-two minutes too long, so I'll be getting to the point, if that's okay with everyone. Long story short, Jimmy's dying, and that's okay, really, because as Gender Dysphoric Castiel reveals, "You served us well, and your work is done. It's time to go home now -- your real home -- to rest forever in the fields of the Lord." So much for keeping what's on the other side a secret, I suppose, but we'll worry about Tessa and her colleagues later, because how in the hell did Castiel manage to possess Jimmy's aggravating annoyance of a daughter in the first place? "She's Chosen," Gender Dysphoric Castiel answers me. "It's in her blood." So, Vesseldom's genetic, then? Good to know. Of course, because Misha Collins has signed on for the fifth season, there's no way in hell Jimmy's actually going to drop dead there on the concrete warehouse floor, so Jimmy of course negotiates Castiel's transfer back into his body, but before that exchange occurs, you should know what's in store for Jimmy The Mook. "You won't die," Gender Dysphoric Castiel explains to him, "or age. If this last year was painful for you, picture a hundred -- a thousand -- more like it." And with that, we know angels require living, acquiescent hosts, so can we end this goddamned scene already? "We can!" Fan-fucking-tastic. "Demian! Language!" Oh, leave me alone. "Hee!"
Once the transfer's complete, My Sweet Baboo rises from the floor -- his wounds and his clothing magically healed, natch -- and strides over to Our Intrepid Heroes' side while Mrs. Jimmy hastens to comfort her brat. Castiel stares at his Vessel's family for a moment before turning to leave. "Hold up!" Dean calls out after him. "What were you going to tell me?" "I learned my lesson while I was away, Dean," Castiel responds in an answer that isn't. "I serve Heaven. I don't serve man, and I certainly don't serve you." With that, My Sweet Baboo twirls around and vanishes into the final METAL TEETH CHOMP!
