I'll start "live" recapping at 8pm EST (I don't currently have cable, just streaming).

Sorry, guys! Starting a little late. I had to do some chores 'cause I'm getting up early tomorrow for work.
Anyhoo, recap of season 12 to Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" that shows how poor season 12 was. Not the first time they've tried to hide terrible writing with an expensive song.
Cut to Now. Sam confronts Jack, who has glowing eyes and calls Sam "Father?" Sam, like a moron, says he's not Jack's father.
Cut to Dean kneeling beside Castiel, then getting up to go in the house and kill Jack. The shot doesn't hurt Jack, who then responds with some showy sound FX and throws them into the wall. Expect that not to get repeated much. It looks really expensive.
Cue title cards, which are a glowing, Sauron-like eye.
Flashback to Mary attacking Lucifer, which segues into Mary burning on the ceiling in the Pilot. Dean wakes up (it's a dream). He and Sam were knocked out until dawn. Dean storms out of the house, asking if Jack has wings. Sam says he doesn't know.
Cut to Jack walking around naked and then two losers at a fish fry restaurant seeing him outside, naked, asking for his "Father." They call the one slacker dude's mom, who is a cop.

In the car, the Brothers argue over what to do with Jack. Dean is all about the holy oil and "hitting him with everything we got." Sam is all about understanding him and figuring out if he's EVOL or not. 'Cause Sam was all about being understanding when the Darkness got unleashed--oh, wait. Sam does ask about whether Castiel really is dead, too. "You know he is," Dean retorts.
Meanwhile, the Sheriff of North Cove (AKA Slacker's Mom) is meeting Jack. She introduces herself as Christine Barker and says she's "just here to help." Jack smiles a very-much-not-nice smile.

Castiel's body has been retrieved in record time and put on a table under a sheet in the cabin by two angels, one PoC male who is angry and obnoxious and "racist" about Kelly's body, and one blonde female who claims to feel sorry for Castiel. Stay classy, show.
Cut to the police station, where Jack is one step away from a psych eval. He's got clothes, now. Very unimpressed by him, so far. He's basically a walking plot point.
The Sheriff asks him some questions that go rather poorly, while Slacker watches, mocking. Jack says Kelly is "in Heaven" (rather doubt that, dude) and is looking for his father.
Jack starts talking about "the bad woman" (Dagon) burning and "the universe screamed." I'm glancing at the clock because damn, this is dull so far. Let's get back to the Brothers, please, Show.
When she goes to check his fingerprints, Slacker asks him "how high are you?" Jack doesn't understand his question. And realizes he is hungry.
Meanwhile, I'm discovering the exciting world of drying paint.

Back to Sam and Dean, pulling up (so coincidentally) to the fish fry joint where Jack appeared. Sam wants to go eat something. Dean wants to call Jody and get her to put out an APB on Jack. It's a topsy-turvy world when Sam wants to eat fried food and Dean wants to work.
Inside, the other Slacker is dealing with an annoying drunk customer. Sam asks the guy if he saw anyone naked wandering around the guy says that why, yes, he did. Sam makes a call to the Sheriff, impersonating an officer, and she is shocked by Jack's blank slate of fingerprints.
Outside the Pirate fish fry, Dean is walking back to the car with bloody knuckles when he's accosted by Annoying Drunk Girl who was inside when Sam went in (dear Chuck, woman, GO AWAY). She notices his bloody knuckles, but not that he is retrieving a flask of booze for a drink and to dump on his knuckles. She tells an annoying story about a college roommate called "Becky" (apparently, not Becky Rosen), while Dean coldly eyes her up over the roof of the Impala. Sam comes out why she's still going on. Sam brings Dean up to speed and they leave while she smirks. Maybe she's a demon. I don't and don't care. Hope she's Monster Chow soon.

In the station, the lights start fritzing badly and the Sheriff can't find anyone. Pulling out her gun, she enters the Locker Room, from whence comes creepy laughter. Inside, though, it's just her son and Jack, eating food from the food dispenser. Jack is discovering nougat. Or something. The light-fritzing turns out to be Jack making the food dispenser operate with his mind. Then he hears angel voices. When the Sheriff tries to stop him leaving, he accidentally shoves her into the machine and bails.
As lights explode, he gets to the squad room and sees Dean, but gets Tased by Sam. The Sheriff, who was unconscious just a moment before, comes into the room, gun drawn, looking fine. Nice lack of continuity, there, Dabb.
I miss when this show didn't bore me.

So, we need a third act, I guess, so Sam is tossed into a cell, while the Sheriff interrogates Dean. Dean tells her what's up, the Family Business. Rather than get pissy, the Sheriff asks Dean what Jack is. Dean says he's a Nephilim.
In the jail cell, Sam talks to Jack, who tells him about hearing the angel voices. Jack asks Sam to tell "them" that he's "sorry." Whatever, show.
Sam asks Jack how he knows English. Jack says he talked to her, "I *was* her." (very much not reassuring). Sam then asks Jack how he got his powers and if he remembers opening the door to the other world. Jack doesn't know. He says he has to find his father, that his father will protect him.
Sam says that Lucifer doesn't protect people. Jack says no, his mom said that Castiel would protect him. Sam tells Jack that Castiel is dead.
Outside, Slacker is lighting a cigarette. He's confronted by Annoying Drunk Girl and the two angels. So, is she an angel, or is she in league with them?
Inside, Dean is releasing Sam, saying the Sheriff believes them. Then they hear Slacker outside scream. As they and the Sheriff come out into the squad room, they see Annoying Drunk Girl with an angel blade to Slacker's throat.
The Sheriff starts to raise her gun, but Dean warns her not to. Annoying Drunk Girl Angel/Demon wants the Sheriff to shoot Dean to let her son go. Sam is still in the cell.
But it's mostly a distraction so the other two angels and come in and attack Sam and Jack. ADGA stabs Slacker, pretty much just for kicks, as soon as she hears they're in. Sam gets his ass kicked and the other two angels take Jack as Dean gets the drop on ADGA. He interrogates her and she smacks him in the head then enters the cell. Sam has blasted the other two angels away with a sigil that almost blasts Jack away, too. She stabs Jack, and gets stabbed by Sam, but only Jack survives. So, that happened.

Outside, the Sheriff goes off with her son in the ambulance, while the Brothers have a talk about Jack. Dean agrees with Sam's plan to bring Jack back to the Bunker, to minimize the damage and find a way to kill Jack.
Dean chooses to burn Castiel's body. Sam says maybe they can ask Chuck. Dean says he already tried. That's why his knuckles are bloody. He prayed to Chuck to bring all of them back and then smacked a restroom wall (repeatedly), and cried, when Chuck failed to answer.
Not sure why the show has decided to forget all about Amara. She might answer Dean's prayer.
Anyhoo, Dean is now going to burn Castiel and nobody is stopping him: "Chuck's not listening. He doesn't give a damn."
Oh, they also burn Kelly, by the way. Let's not speak of that drippy, nothingburger character again, Show.
Dean has a moment alone with Castiel to cry over him. Later, Sam talks Jack through a Hunter's funeral. Dean says goodbye to them all, including Mary. Sam says she may not be dead, but Dean refuses to entertain what he sees as false hope.
Boring music for this. Not very Supernatural.
Over in Alt-Verse, Mary is getting stalked and chased by Lucifer, who is playing with his food. Mary says what, is Lucifer going to kill her now? Lucifer says maybe or maybe not. Maybe he needs her. Whatever, Lucie.
Credits.

I am really, really angry that the show let Sam kill an angel. Because of course, Dean can´t have one thing that makes him special if Sam doesn´t have it too.
Other than that, it was VERY obvious that they wanted people to warm up to Jack, which doesn´t fill me with warm fuzzies.

Luckily enough they are so bad at fighting that they conveniently lose their blades all the time. Soon they can probably be killed by anything. Angel blades, what angel blades? Too bad their numbers don't seem to be "unlimited" as Cas claimed way back when. Whatever, Dabb.

Other than that, it was VERY obvious that they wanted people to warm up to Jack, which doesn´t fill me with warm fuzzies. Yes, the Singer/Dabb "first in credits" mandate of the last two seasons is so obviously still in effect. If Sam is anywhere in the vicinity, he gets the kill, especially, as you pointed out, if it's something he hasn't killed before that Dean has. Which just makes me resent Sam, and if that's what Singer and Dabb want, so be it. The other thing I hate that is SO FREAKING OBVIOUS is how Dean is being set up to be wrong, wrong, wrong about Jack and Mary and everything - probably even his own name at this point. That lack of anything remotely resembling subtlety or shades is far beyond the capability of this writing staff.

The bizarre thing is that it's such an obvious bait-and-switch, making Dean "wrong." Dean isn't wrong. Jack is incredibly dangerous and volatile, but Sam wants to take him home and hug him and squeeze him and name him George.
Another red flag that Sam's judgement is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy off: It's sweet and all that Sam retains hope his mother is still alive and wants to rescue her, but opening that portal to the other reality (the really sucky one for humans) is "Let's lift the MoC and release the Darkness; what could possibly go wrong?" levels of stupid. It just goes to show that Sam hasn't actually learned all that much in 13 years. The fact that Dean is willing to shut that door permanently shows that he is willing to continue to sacrifice to keep the world safe--just another indication that Chuck left him in charge, not him and Sam. Sam can't be trusted with a cactus, let alone the SPNverse.

Yeah, Jack might be more interesting if he wasn't so obviously dangerous in a world ending way. I think they're trying to make it debatable or a tough decision, or whatever, but I'm sitting there thinking he's creepy and you don't take that risk. I don't care if Sam ends up being right, it's a moronic decision and Sam always does that projection crap. Well, almost always.

Yeah, they want us to accept him as nuKevin and it's like, "Um...no." [backing away slowly]
