Fire away. As per the previous thread, please use spoiler code before the episode begins airing this Thursday at 8pm, EST.
I'll be live-recapping again.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new boards, although they are about as user friendly as I've seen. I'm still not impressed at IMDB getting rid of the message boards.
However, I'm really really glad to see that the familiar threads are here to stay!

Recap starting with some scene snippets and such we haven't heard before of the underwhelming LoL, the underwhelming Lucifer spawn story, and some stuff about sparkly superweapons (gee, I miss the Colt and the First Blade).
Cut to Mr. Ketch narrating to the audience (oh...no) and then a flashback to 5:20pm sometime before (oh, NOOOOOOO. Stop it with that cliched BS, show!).
Cue the sneak peek. Dean is (totally improbably) striking out with the waitress, who is bored and also into Castiel. A confused conversation of Dean giving dating advice to Castiel, Sam talking about having scanned all the Bunker's library into his computer (yeah...um...no, show. Really. No), and such before Mary gets them all back to business, which is helping a Hunter who's normally into hunting rougaru with hunting a demon. Dean gets a date with the waitress for Castiel.
So, then we flash to Mary dragging a wounded Castiel out of a house, while Sam and Dean are fighting demons. By the way? The waitress was possessed. She kills the Doomed Teaser Hunter as Sam is killing another demon, then brags about how famous she'll be for killing Sam Winchester before Dean stabs her from behind (because demons are definitely stupid).
Cue title cards.
Annnnd, more flashing around because this is a very basic story intentionally being jumbled around like Pulp Fiction, except that this episode, so far, kinda sucks. Like, badly.

So, the upshot is that the demon they're hunting turns out to be YED. No, it doesn't make any sense, and I'm sure we're all going to regret this return a whole lot because so far? This episode kinda sucks. And the music is annoyingly inappropriate.
He kicks their asses and stabs Castiel with a big spear, while snarking. We flash back to the other two demons getting killed...yeah, whatever, show.
Anyhoo, Mary is able to rescue Castiel temporarily by ramming YED with her car (which must have been satisfying), but Castiel can't heal himself.

Do we know it is thee yellow eyed demon or is it just a yellow eyed demon. I don't hate the idea of Azazel being back but I am skeptical.

Mary tells the Brothers about recognizing YED. We get another annoying-ass flashback to her talking with DTH about how she's really working with the LoL and how awesome they are. She then gives a list of "accomplishments" the LoL have helped her do that sound like an ordinary month for her sons.
The episode keeps jumping around like a damned spider on acid, so it's not really clear who's finding out when where, but we then go forward to Mary talking with Sam briefly about hunting and then finding a safe in the cellar behind that same old painting of Michael killing the Devil. Whatever she finds and opens up glows. And later, she lies to Castiel.
Cut forward again (oh, *enough*, show!) to Mary trying to help Castiel and texting the LoL for help. They are predictably useless.
An awful lot of this is overlapping scenes, which probably means the amount of story we'll actually get will be maybe twenty minutes worth.
The Brothers come in and tell Mary about DTH. Dean goes to Castiel, who tells him he can't heal and may be dying.
Crowley shows up unexpectedly and tells them they're all going to die, while calling them "idiots."

See now I don't know. Crowley even said they have his eyes. Gave him a different name. Just cause he knows what mary looks like isn't evidence

So, Crowley introduces himself to Mary, who tells him she'll kill him if he touches her.
Crowley asks if they know who Ramiel is. Only Castiel does. Castiel says that Ramiel is a Prince of Hell. They're supposed to be superdemons after Lilith (except that, hey, show, Lilith was afraid of the Spork and this new demon is immune to it, remember?). So, a low-rent version of Knights of Hell and MoC folk, basically. Oh, and it seems YED was one.
Another stupid flashback, this time to Crowley giving Ramiel the Lance of Michael. Ramiel blathers over it for a while. It kills evil things and good things slowly. Hmm, how shall we end up killing Ramiel, I wonder?
Crowley also gives him the glow-y box. He wants Ramiel to rule Hell. Ramiel isn't interested.
Apparently, this flashback is to right after "Swan Song" because Ramiel hands the crown over to Crowley.
Supposedly, there are other Princes of Hell--Asmodeus and Dagon. Ramiel tells Crowley to leave them alone or the Princes will come after Crowley.
Well, after Cain, Dean/MoC, Chuck and Amara, I am pretty unimpressed.
Listen, dumbass writers, a spear and a lance are basically the same thing.
Crowley admits there is no cure for Castiel. Dean points out that they've taken down bigger prey (like...oh, YED, by any chance? Can we say "Colt"?). Crowley hedges. Dean tells him to help or get lost, so Crowley gets lost. Sort of. As Ramiel approaches the barn, Crowley tries to make a deal with him.
Ah, I see Ramiel is far too stupid to know who the Winchesters are. Crowley gives his speech about how the Winchesters are too important to kill and tries to make another deal. Instead, Ramiel blows him through the wall of the barn.
More annoying-ass western music. Normally, I like this group (same guys as from "Frontierland," I think), but boy, does it not work here.

Are we to assume that Dagon and Asmodeus will not be after them now? And there's no lance anymore.
