season seven recap;;
The season 7 finale tossed us all for a loop, didn't it?
Crowley had been summoned and devils trapped by Dick at the SucroCorp offices. Dick’s got out the company manners today, offering drinks and apologizing for early offenses, but Crowley’s not buying it yet. Being the King of Hell, Crowley is hard to kill, but it’s not impossible and since Leviathan can take out Angels…well, Crowley doesn’t understand why Dick’s trying to play nice. Dick acknowledges that he’s sure Crowley’s left instructions for a vial of his blood to go to Sam and Dean should he go missing and that’s why he’s suddenly looking to partner up. Dick will give Crowley and his kind Canada; he’s keeping the U.S.A. Crowley agrees to double cross Sam and Dean by giving them dummy blood. Dick’s not interested in kissing on it, so they call up an extensive contract. Those two are crazy excited and go round for round on the wording for awhile. While they’re trying to one up each other, they call it a deal, get a notary and sign it. Ah lawyers. In every reality they’re boring at best and trying to give the world over to hell at worst.
Dean and Sam are driving, bickering like they do. Dean made a joke, Sam took it as a plan and now Dean is pissy and Sam is insisting this is the only way. Oh boys. At least you’re consistent. The radio tells informs them that Dick is at SucraCorp headquarters. Man, the PR people really want the entire world to know where to find this guy. No CEO alerts the media to his location. Sadly, they do too good of a job and Bobby, still possessing the maid from last week, also finds out Dick’s at SucraCorp. He’s still pissed as hell. Bobby, please stop possessing the maid. Dean’s big plan, it turns out, was for finding the righteous bone. Not wanting to call Cas again they break into a crypt full of nuns. After passing on a youthful nun and possibly power hungry middle aged nun, Dean decides to go for the really old nun who led a pretty ordinary life of worship and breaks into her crypt to steal a bone.
With the bone in their possession, the only thing left to get is Crowley’s blood. So the boys call on Crowley and he doesn’t show up (he’s finishing signing on the dotted line with Dick). There’s a moment of confusion before Dean just gets flat out pissed that they’ve been stood up. Sam points out that he has to show, unless something went wrong. A knock on the door and Meg appears. Meg’s over Castiel and giving him back to Dean. Cas is pondering testing make-up on monkeys when Dean tries to have a heart to heart. Dean doesn’t really care about the plight of monkeys and convinces Cas to come inside. He does, but lays down the law (he’s not here to fight) and then sniffs our righteous bone, agreeing it was a good choice. Cas also lets informs them that Dick has Kevin and all the Garison are dead. Any Angels that have survived are hiding. Meg’s not really concerned with the Angels; she’s more concerned with the items Sam and Dean have left around to call Crowley. She’s none to happy about them putting her in danger, because Crowley can show up anytime and he takes this moment to.
Crowley’s not too happy to see Meg or Cas. There’s a bit of squabble among them, where Crowley realizes Cas isn’t all there and a fight with him in this state is beneath him and Cas makes it clear he’s not letting Crowley have Meg. All good things. As if that’s not enough good will for the King of Hell to be showing, he admits the double cross contract, but explains it’s really his blood he’s handing over because he’s not interested in only having Canada. The boys aren’t sure if they should believe him and I have no idea either, but really what choice do we have. Crowley also informs them that Cas has a role in taking down the Leviathan, even though Cas is still in denial. While all this is going down, Bobby’s still wandering the streets in the maid meatsuit. When he ends up grabbing some iron and being forced from her body, the maid is allowed a second to plead the same and run, but sadly the SucraCorp PR department has done a really good job and Dick’s also on the cover of the newspaper at her feet. Bobby takes one look at Dick’s picture, goes vengeful and repossesses the poor maid.
Back at SucroCorp, Dick tells his assistant he’s prepared to be screwed on the contract and to bring him something from the freezer. Instead, they put a pretty blonde girl in with Kevin, who is able to give her name, Polly, but is stoned on SucroCorp juice and nothing else is forth coming. Kevin wonders for a minute if she’s also a prophet, but Kevin’s been at this game for awhile now and realizes he’s on his own. The guys are still working on the bone magic. Turns out, they only get one shot at this. They pour the blood, cover the bone and there’s no magic. Nothing happens and we’re not at all sure that this bone has been blessed or made special. Good for Kevin, no lightening to hit him this time, but bad for those of us hoping to know if Crowley double crossed the boys or Dick. Cas shows up bearing sandwiches, which he made from scratch right down to consoling some poor pig before he slaughtered it Sam asks Cas about Crowley thinking that he should be going with them, but Cas insists feeding them is all the solidarity that he can muster. We find out Dick still has a piece of the original Dick Roman, which means that there can be several Leviathans using the same Dick Roman skin. Back over in the locked suite, a guard come back and insists Polly change clothes and properly accessorize. The big lug guard doesn’t pay enough attention though and misses Kevin swiping a flower jeweled bobby pin, which he uses to pick the lock and escape the room. The SucroCorp board is gathering, there’s a little bit of writer political commentary here with the Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida shout outs that are unflattering to all involved, but the real issue is Polly, who is asked to disrobe yet again! For some reason, despite eating a lot, Polly’s not gaining any weight. At first this seems like it is a compliment, but it’s not and Dick gives poor Polly an injection that seems to kill her painfully. Dick’s got a plan to kill the humans who won’t make good monster nutrition by putting something in coffee creamers. Whatever, this is the plan, the Board’s happy. Kevin heard a bit of this, but was busted by Dick’s assistant.
The boys show up to bring the hammer down on Dick and unfortunately realize that there are many Dick types running around via some scanning of the security monitor feed. While staking out Dick, Sam recognizes the maid from the hotel and figures out that Bobby’s driving the poor woman to her death. He tells Dean to stay the course regarding Dick while he deals with Bobby and Dean actually listens. Well, Dean’s about to put up a fight but Sam tells him to shut up and runs off and Dean doesn’t follow so he kind of listens? Sam meets up with Bobby and tries to rationalize, but Bobby’s beyond that. So beyond that that he nearly chokes the life out of Sam. Catching a glimpse of himself, Bobby manages to stop and poof out of the maid, leaving Sam to carry her away before the cameras get her and she becomes Leviathan bate. The guys go back to the lodge, Cas is still handing out sandwiches and Meg’s pissed that the boys backed out for some maid no one knows or cares about. They defend they’re actions by pointing out that Dick made more Dicks and they don’t know which one they need to kill. Cas acts even stranger than usual and Dean calls him out on it, telling him to clean up his freaking mess. Cas tries to ignore Dean’s anger and wants to play Twister. Lucky for the boys, Meg gets it and explains that Cas is the only one who has seen the Leviathans in their true form and will know which Dick is the real Dick. So they better fix him and get him on board.
The guys are taking a break from Cas and go to look at the security feed to see if they can spot any differences. Nope, all the Dicks have the same mannerisms. The boys are feeling discouraged when Bobby poofs back into the world. Bobby chides them for not burning the flask right off. He explains he’s jonesing to possess someone else and take off after Dick. Sam tries to tell him that it’s not his fault that he tried to kill him, but Bobby’s not having it. All ghosts turn vengeful; he can’t outsmart it like he thought. Bobby says they’ll run into each other on the other side. Sam and Dean burn the flask and Bobby watches before going poof. After all that, Cas is back to playing games, but Dean has patience and just asks him to run an errand. That’s right, after all this time, Baby’s getting her freedom. While freeing the much longed for Impala, Dean and Cas have another heart to heart. Cas doesn’t want to fight because he feels that he’s cursed and will be bad luck. That sentiment is hysterically hilarious to Dean, if anyone has bad luck, it’s the Winchesters. Like Cas, they keep dying and coming back, only to be tortured a little more. Dean does forgive Cas a little for the mess with Sam and this leads Cas to decide that he will fight along side them yet again, even if it means death and resurrection to something worse. Cas wants to know the plan and Dean says that since Dick knows they’re coming, they’re gonna announce themselves big.
Which leads us to the Impala and her freedom; she’s taking sharp turns and zooming down the road and it’s a beautiful sight to behold. Fake out though, Dean’s not driving. After crashing into the SucroCorp sign, Meg comes out and starts boraxing a few Leviathan asses. Dean and Cas sneak inside, as does Sam separately, while Meg’s causing a scene. After she takes down the bad guys, two of Crowley’s minions show up and man are we really losing Meg now too? She’s going back to hell to be tossed on the spit Crowley threatened her with earlier. Sam finds and frees Kevin. He tries to take him to safety, but Kevin insists they blow up the lab, explaining Dick’s plan for poisoning the creamer and killing all the skinny people. Sam of course agrees. Dick’s in the lab, absolutely in love with the creamer. Dean and Cas show up and have a bit of a stand off, until Dean talks a little smack about Crowley always finding a way to bone you and shoves the bone into Dick. Dick laughs it off, takes it out and breaks the thing and for a second I wonder if Crowley really has double crossed the boys, but nope. Instead, Sam and Kevin show up to watch as Dean shoves a different bone into Dick’s throat and taunts about catching Dick off guard. Then it all promptly goes to hell. Or in this case purgatory.
Dick explodes back to where Leviathan go, Sam covers Kevin and when he looks up, Dean and Cas are gone. Crowley shows up. He says don’t worry Kevin, I’ve got my demon army outside, the Leviathan are on the run without a leader and this sounds promising right? Not to Sam who realizes that he’s still going to have to track and kill Leviathan, but more importantly, where the hell is Dean? Crowley is only too gleeful to share that our righteous bone weapon had a bit of a kickback, sending Dean and Cas God knows where and oh by the way, he’s taking Kevin. Before Crowley peaces out, he has the nerve to taunt Sam about really being on his own now! Sam seems on the verge of breakdown. We flash to a passed out Dean and Cas manages to get him to open his eyes and gives Dean the 411 on where they are. Purgatory, where all the evil souls are just waiting to tear each other apart. For the first time since he reappeared, Cas seems sane and together, but that must not be the case because he poofs and leaves Dean on his own.
Why the recap you ask? Because Jus in Bello's plot picks up after season seven's finale!
our plot;;
One year later...
Dean has finally escaped from Purgatory with Benny the Vampire. Castiel has been left behind within Purgatory with no way out. The time within the new hell has hardened Dean Winchester. What has happened with Sam? Sam spent the first 3 months drinking himself nearly to death and then he has been back and forth between hunting and hanging out with a girl he actually enjoys being with. Sam has very nearly decided on quitting hunting altogether to be with her, but then Bobby showed up out of the clear blue sky with a full memory of everything that had happened.
The new Ruler in Heaven, Ezekiel, resurrected him and brought him back to aide Sam with the coming war. A new war between Angels and Demons and hunters needed to be ready. Bobby and Sam have spent a lot of time together, hunting and attempting to figure out a way to stop the whole war.
Ezekiel was appointed to rule Heaven by God, or so Joshua has said. Some angels still are not sure of their father's decision as their creator had abandoned them long ago, but they still follow Ezekiel's rule. Among resurrecting Bobby Singer, Ezekiel has granted Balthazar, Gabriel and Anna life as well, earning heaven it's Archangels back. Castiel is still missing, having been left within Purgatory because Dean believed him dead.
Jophiel is the new King of Hell, as Lucifer's demon spawn it is his right to rule in his father's absence. More powerful than Crowley, Jophiel was able to de-throne the Crossroad demon and take his place as the new King. His hope? Jophiel wants to do the job his father never could -destroy all heavenly beings and rid the world of hunters. The hunters he wants most are the Winchesters, namely Sam. Most still do not know that Dean has returned from the dead yet again, though as soon as the demons learn he is sure to be on the hit list. Crowley has been demoted back to nothing more than the King of the Crossroads and 'he was lucky to get that' as Jophiel had stated.
Kevin Tran has managed to escape Crowley and is on the run on his own. He hasn't reached out to Sam, fearing the younger Winchester would deny him help since it is his fault that Dean is gone, or so he believes. Kevin has not seen his family or friends in over a year because he fears that Crowley will find him with them and kill them because of it.
In this new chapter of their lives, the Winchesters will gain new friends and enemies. They will lose, they will love, they will keep the fight. Or so we hope.
