"Don't play his game. Make him play yours"

The boys recognized as heros by a deity, lovely Jack coming back, HUGS, great acting, comedic one-liners, an origin story for pagan gods and its connection to Chuck... And Team Free Will 2.0 back together again.

And all of this in a pool hall!

What an episode! My favorite this season. I loved the boys at the verge of completing the here's journey. The mentions of all epic heroes while alluding to them was also great. The previous lighthearted episode was so good I didn't think this one would be better given the premise, but it delivered.

Lets talk about Jack. My sweet baby angel. I loved seeing him back but one thing, is his soul restored? Is he still soulless? Has Billie got anything to do with it? Or resurrection by Death resets him into factory settings, soul included?

And what happens to the balance of the universe, light, darkness, coexistence, if not the world disappears, yada yada yada? Yeah, they're setting it for Jack to become the new God, but I don't think I bite it.

The last scene made me super emotional. Sam just hugging him as if he were his kid and Dean holding his neck and just looking at him and Cas.

The guys being on a budget and only having 4.60 made me laugh so much. And asking for "two waters, por favor". I seriously love when they use my language in an American series.

The actress playing Fortuna was beyond excellent. Her presence only lit the room. I loved that she recognized the heroes that they are. The character was very well written and the fact that such a powerful Chara ter was able to recognize Sam and Dean as heroes and that she showed respect after just meeting them was perfect.

Let's just talk a little bit about Cas. Or, more precisely, Misha. He's been all sorts of excellent this season at playing Cas' pain and grief over Jack's passing. He deserves some freaking recognition for that. The way he huggers Jack. Damn! That kind of emotion is something that we haven't seen in Cas so much.

The only thing that worries me is that deal he made with the Empty. If he's happy, it'll take everything away from him.

Memorables quotes from the epislde: "When? Between nap time and snack" Ans my personal favorite. "Beach read? Lady, im Tolstoi.

Overall, excellent episode, great lore is great lore, Jack back, Death stepping up and our boys being recognized as the heroes they are. The only bad thing has been this 6 week break coming out of nowhere. Other than that, I seriously hope that tomorrow's episode delivers.
