So heres the thing: I really likeMichael.
Then he heals the vampire and adds some grace to the vamp blood.
He gets the vamp to drink the blood concoction.

So the experiment failed.
But soon enough, Michael will get this right.
(Right now the highlight reel includes killing Gabriel in Hammer of the Gods.)
A man broke into his house and killed his wife and child … with a hammer.
Lucifer came to Nick after it had happened, and in his desperation, Nick said yes.
Its a Lucifer reaction.
But Castiel doesnt seem to sense any of Lucy still left inside Nick.
And yet, that doesnt mean Nicks psyche isnt torn to shreds.
From Nick to Jack, Castiels babysitting gig is anything but a walk in the park.
Considering the rarity of archangels, theres not a lot of information.
He tells Jack that its not about the past, its about where hes going.
And that gives Jack an idea.
And poor Jack has to walk away from them.
(Next: Is that … Its also where they discover that Bobbys FBI talk is a bit rusty.
But Sams isnt, and he asks the coroner if anyone came to claim the bodies.
The answer points them to the apartment of a female vampire.
She talks about the experimenting and how she escaped when a number of her friends attacked him.
But while they head to his old stomping grounds, Michaels enjoying himself at a new hotel room.
Which, of course, we know Dean wont do.
Michael returns to the room a few hours later with a hot date.
And by hot date I mean werewolf.
So if God was the one who put humans in charge, no ones stopping them from changing things.
Michael explains that he appreciates the purity of werewolves: They kill to live, not for sport.
Michael tells the werewolf leader that he has ways to enhance their talents.
It seems he finally found the perfect ratio in his little experiments.
And now, he wants to wage a war against humans.
Why be hunted when it’s possible for you to be the hunter?
As for the vampire who ratted Michael out, he pays her a visit and reveals his great plan.
Did you think he dumped all those bodies in plain sight and let her run free without a plan?
Nope, he was planting a trap for his favorite hunters … and it worked.
After Sam, Mary, and Bobby arrive at the church, theyre ambushed by Michaels special werewolves.
What makes them special?
Silver doesnt work on them.
Thankfully, decapitation does.
And once they take them out, Michael comes stumbling into the church.
Or is it Dean?
Whoever it is, hes claiming to be Dean.
But when Jack asks about their plan to kill Michael, the entire mood changes.
Castiel tells him that theyre not looking to kill Michael.
Theyre looking to subdue him so that get him out of Dean.
But as far as Jack is concerned, Dean doesnt matter.
(But that wont change Castiels plan.)
(But also I really like this story.)
All in all, this felt like a very performance-centric episode.
More so than a typical episode, we had a lot of emotional speeches.
Mark Pellegrino was fantastic as always, and I loved all of his stuff with Castiel.
I thought Misha Collins did a particularly good job with all the talk of Jimmy Novak.
And Ive already talked about my enjoyment of this Michael.
Two episodes in, and Im really enjoying season 14.
