Episode 4.21 When The Levee Breaks

The penultimate episode of any season ramps up the drama, but hooboy, this one is made of angst! We’re closing in on the end of Chuck’s One Perfect Season, where everything worked perfectly for his story from start to finish. At least he’s never really gonna meet with this much success ever again (because 15.20 doesn’t count lol).

Sam’s in demon detox, Cas is doing Heaven’s errands, and Dean is breaking his own heart. But Sam? He gets some twisted A Christmas Carol experience, Dean wrestles with his complete inability to save Sam from going darkside that he’s been terrified of since 2.01, and Cas is Causing Problems on behalf of Heaven’s agenda.
