Amara was all grown up when the mid-season finale of SUPERNATURAL began and she was decided to kill a group of devoutly religious people for worshipping God, hoping to provoke a reaction from her brother.

Sam, meanwhile, continued to have visions of Lucifer in the cage. Seeking answers, he prayed and received a burning bush in response. Dean hated this plan and didn’t want Sam to go anywhere near the cage, but Sam was adamant. So the brothers called on Crowley, who was also reluctant to lead them to the cage until they told him this may be the only way to defeat the Darkness. When Crowley asked why Amara kept sparing Dean, he turned the attention back to the Lucifer situation. When Dean said he didn’t want his brother anywhere near danger, Crowley suggested there may be another way: the Book of the Damned.

Back in Crowley’s lair, he greeted his newly re-captured mother. Enter the Winchesters, who told Rowena that she should partner with them to help defeat the Darkness. But what’s in it for Rowena? Crowley promised to call off his assassins if she agreed to help and the Winchesters promised limited access to the codex.

As the Winchesters and Crowley hatched their plan, Amara sought her brother in a church. But praying to him got no response and she argued with a priest about God’s goodness. And then she decided to go on a killing and soul-feeding spree as she desecrated God’s house. Meanwhile, more of heaven’s middle-management gathered to figure out a way to defeat the Darkness without God’s help.

As Sam supervised Rowena and her access to the Book, Dean headed out to investigate the rash of murders that Amara was conducting. But Dean started to get a weird vibe just as he saw Amara again, distracting him from Sam’s call. She swept them off to a pier for their latest reunion as Sam, Rowena and Crowley headed off to limbo to summon Lucifer to a cage that Rowena had set up there.

Amara explained to Dean how God had forced her hand by ignoring her, while Lucifer was summoned to the cage. He greeted Sam and Crowley as Rowena fanboyed over him. Sam told him that the Darkness had been released and that that God was nowhere in sight. Although, he did tell him that God was giving him visions to seek out Lucifer. But was Lucifer on board to help? Well, Lucifer insisted that he could better help if he had a vessel….perhaps Sam himself?

As Dean snapped out of his stupor around Amara, he found he couldn’t kill her with his blade. She told him she couldn’t be resisted, so he should just give in. After she kissed him, she told him that they were bonded and that it was destiny. “We will become one,” she warned Dean. Enter the middle-management angels, who had come to kill Amara. Dean warned them to leave, but Amara just smited them down. And that got God’s attention. Just as the lightening and thunder started up, Amara sent Dean away.

Dean found himself back in the park where Amara had found him earlier, with no one else the wiser that something was amiss. And down in limbo, Sam refused to be Lucifer’s vessel again. But when Sam turned his back to the cage, the warding sigils failed and Sam found himself trapped inside with Lucifer. He told Lucifer this was playing out as God had told him it would be, but Lucifer revealed that when the Darkness descended it had damaged the cage. And God wasn’t sending Sam messages — Lucifer had been. “It was always just me,” Lucifer told him. “So I guess I am your only hope.” As we zoomed in on a terrified Sam, we faded to black…..

SUPERNATURAL will return with all new episodes on Wednesday, January 20 at 9:00 p.m. on The CW. Check out a preview from the January return below.

When we last saw Rowena on SUPERNATURAL, she had cured Castiel from the attack dog spell she had put on him at the end of season 10. She was also still in possession of the Book of the Damned and had escaped the Winchesters. She’ll be making a return appearance in the mid-season finale this week and during a visit to the SUPERNATURAL set in Vancouver, Ruth Connell spoke to journalists about Rowena’s experience with the coven, the Winchesters and her thoughts on the Darkness.

The Mega Coven. “I keep getting people offering to be recruits for the mega coven on Twitter, so I’m going to keep running with that,” Ruth told us with a laugh when asked about Rowena’s failed attempt to create a Mega Coven to rival the Grand Coven (which had revoked her membership many years ago). But will Rowena continue to pursue that path? “I think the next time you see [Rowena], it’s more Winchester-oriented. Let’s just say that.”

Why does Rowena Allow the Winchesters to Live? “I think she secretly thinks they’re handsome,” Ruth joked. “Or maybe that’s just me. The thing is, at the end of last season Rowena has everything. She has the Book of the Damned, she has the codex, she has the codebreaker. And it’s like ‘what do you do with that power’? I think that’s kind of touching is you still see her going down the old route she was always doing. It’s all about the coven. And in the episode we just filmed [episodes 11.09 and 11.10], you get a bit more of the backstory. You hear more about the human element to this and [she’s got all this power, but she’s not killing the Winchesters and she can’t let go of the coven idea].”

What’s Rowena’s Opinion of The Darkness? When we saw Rowena in “The Bad Seed”, she questioned what evil force Dean had unleashed on the world and got a sense of what the Darkness was by reading him. “I’m like everyone else, trying to work out [what this force is] as I go. Personally, my take on it is that evil maybe finds other evil intriguing [and maybe Rowena is thinking] ‘how can I use this for my own benefit?’ So I’m slightly intrigued.” So is Rowena not as fearful as others about the Darkness? “She’s maybe not as fearful as she should be. You’ll see if it comes to bite her in the ass later.”

Will Mother and Son Reunite Soon? “I have just been shooting with Mark Sheppard. You’ll see why we’re in each other’s way again.”

Rowena’s Thoughts on Castiel. Rowena didn’t have that much interaction with Cas in “The Bad Seed”, but Ruth explained that at the end of last season Rowena was “kind of fascinated by him, like in the way that you want to pull a dragonfly’s wings off. If you’re that kind of kid. I leave him f****d up at the end. I think she’s fascinated in that way by him, but not enough to let him get in her own way.” She did hint that “Misha and I just had the funnest scene I think it’s possible to have. I wish I could say [more]. I’m going to put 50 pence on the fact that it’s in the teaser.”

A Group Meeting. “We’ve just done the first scene where all five of us were together,” Ruth said, hinting that a big group scene is coming in the January premiere.

Sam Winchester has visions of the devil on SUPERNATURAL. And, from the looks of the preview for the mid-season finale, the devil is making a reappearance in the next episode, just in time to leave us with one hell (no pun intended) of a cliffhanger over the holidays.

When we visited the SUPERNATURAL set in Vancouver, the cast and crew were filming episode 11.10, which is first episode to air after the holiday hiatus. We spoke to stars Jared Paladaecki and Jensen Ackles, who shared what’s to come in both the mid-season finale and the January return.

“Obviously you can see that we’re a little beat up,” Padalecki points out in the video below, indicating that a big fight is likely to come in episode 11.10. “I said this the other day, in the makeup trailer, that these two episodes [11.09 and 11.10] are my favorite episodes of SUPERNATURAL in a long, long time. I love the twists and turns, [none of which he could spoil for us]. I wouldn’t expect the brothers to go where they go until at least the season finale, but we get right to it. And the brothers are very committed to fighting alongside each other in getting rid of the Darkness, in trying to figure out what it’s going to take and how to do it and kind of going through all alleys and channels.”

“Sam starts exploring these visions,” Ackles explained. “And he starts trying to figure out who is talking to him and what they mean. He kind of takes it upon himself to go there without Dean and kind of leaves me in the dust and so, then of course, Dean has to follow. But what that does is make for some interesting alliances.”

What, exactly, does that mean? Well, if you watched the most recent episode and saw the preview for the mid-season finale, it looks that Sam is headed towards the cage. According to the synopsis for the upcoming episode, “Sam and Crowley come up with a plan that could have disastrous consequences”, so it’s likely that Sam asks Crowley to help him get to Lucifer, convinced that the devil has the answers that he needs.

We also know, thanks to Padalecki and Ackles, that Billie the reaper will be making a return appearance in episode 11.10. Will Dean use her to follow Sam into Hell (via Purgatory) or could she give him valuable intel about the Darkness? Whichever it is, Ackles said that she is one of “interesting alliances”.

Meanwhile, we also know in episode 11.09 that Amara will unleash her power on a town and its people as she issues a challenge. And Dean will be trying to better understand his connection with her. How long is he going to keep that connection from his brother? It’s “to be determined”, Ackles had warned in our other interview, indicating that Sam may not know throughout episodes 9 and 10. But Padalecki said that in the two upcoming episodes “we’ll have some other cool characters that have interesting things to say about the Darkness.” Ackles also added that we’ll get more of an indication of “what she is and where she comes from [and] how she ties in to the whole thing.”

Watch the interview with Padalecki and Ackles below and tune in to the mid-season finale of SUPERNATURAL  on December 9 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. You can also watch fun “outtakes” from the interview with Padalecki and Ackles on our YouTube channel.

Sam was surprised when his childhood imaginary friend, Sully, showed up on this week’s SUPERNATURAL. It turns out Sully was a real creature (a Zanna) that helps guide and befriend children. While Dean was initially skeptical about his reappearance, he got on board quickly when Sully showed them why he came: he needed help in figuring out who was killing other imaginary friends like him. Dean eventually headed out to find the murderer when one of the victims survived, but he was captured and Sam and Sully were lured to him. It turns out that the killer was committing these murders because she blamed Sully for her sister’s death. But Sully’s acceptance of his own death and Dean’s kind words about him convinced the killer to let go of her anger towards the Zanna.

Meanwhile, we got flashbacks to Sam’s childhood with Sully when his father and Dean were off hunting and were reluctant to take young Sam along. While Sam and Sully contemplated what Sam could do with his future, Sammy told Sully to leave when his father finally called and invited him along on the hunt.

In the upcoming mid-season finale, Amara unleashes her power on some poor, unsuspecting townspeople. While Dean tries to figure out more about his bond with her, Sam and Crowley team up to do something really crazy: get Sam to Lucifer’s cage to get some answers about the Darkness. And Mark Pellegrino is making a reappearance as Lucifer in one of Sam’s visions!

The last time Sam and Dean Winchester pretended to be doctors on SUPERNATURAL was back in season 4 when they tried to convince little Audrey that they were teddy bear doctors.

SUPERNATURAL is tackling imaginary friends when the show returns in early December.

In “Just My Imagination”, Sam is very surprised when his childhood imaginary friend Sully makes a return appearance. But what’s even more surprising is that Dean can see him as well. While Dean isn’t impressed with the idea of imaginary friends in general (watch a preview), we’ll learn that young Sam really needed Sully at a certain time in his life. But is someone — or something — killing imaginary friends now? And can the Winchesters and Sully figure out who and stop them? Guest star Richard Speight, Jr. (the Trickster/Gabriel) directed this episode.

Sheriff Donna returned to SUPERNATURAL this week when she came across a strange case of a man with a giant bunny head killing someone and called on the Winchesters for help. As it turns out, a ghost was possessing these strange — and scary looking — costumes and causing their wearers to kill in revenge after the owner’s own murder.

SUPERNATURAL will be on a break for a week, but when it returns in early December we’ll see the Winchesters tackle another strange case — this one involving imaginary friends. Sam is surprised to see his old imaginary friend Sully make a return appearance, only this time Dean can see him as well. We’ll be getting flashbacks to a younger version of Sam who befriended Sully when he really needed him.
