Supernatural season 11 episode 9, the show's mid-season finale, ends in a final conflict where demon-hunter brothers Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) find themselves overpowered by Amara, the Darkness (Emily Swallows), even as Lucifer who is sending feelers of his ominous return.
Fashion & Style describes the dual threat as growing - and to the brothers, an alarming surprise in the episode entitled "O Brother, Where Art Thou?'. Amara was just a baby when Dean first rescued her. Now she is a young lady who has assumed the powers and personality of Darkness and is using them to threaten a town as bait for the Winchester brothers to come out in open combat. While all this is going on, Sam has premonitions of Lucifer (Mark Pelligrino) wanting to come back to earth. The brothers had left the king of darkness in a cage six years ago in season 5. Sam, in a vision, keeps seeing Lucifer trapped in that age. Not only does Lucifer want to break free, Sam fears that God Almighty Himself, Lucifer's eternal foe, wants him to get loose, too.
An article from Jobs & Hire reports that the stakes get higher when Dean sees three more powerful angels, presumably evil, flying in to aid Amara against the brothers. This turn of events just might be the key that will drive Sam to team up with Crowley, who he had been at odds with for a long time. A Winchester-Crowley alliance might be able to take on Amara and her three evil angels.
Padalecki teases that this episode 9 counts among his all-time favorite shows in "Supernatural." According to The Christian Post, he says, " Episodes 9 (the fall finale) and 10 are my favorite episodes of Supernatural in a long, long time. I love the twists and turns - none of which I can probably say without getting out of here alive.The brothers are very committed to fighting alongside each other."
The action-filled mid-season finale left fans wanting fo rmore. "Supernatural" will resume airing on CW on January 2016.
