* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Castiel gets a good one. He uses telekinesis(or just the power of his presence) to break open the sealed door of the barn where Dean and Bobby are waiting, and then proceeds to walk slowly over the line of salt(which would keep a demon or normal spirit out) and past every single binding circle Bobby drew without breaking stride while Dean and Bobby repeatedly shoot him, the entire building is shaking and the overhead lights are exploding(the last two are direct results of his presence). Despite the chaos, he never flinches or even blinks, only seeming mildly curious about the sigils on the walls.

* OffhandBackhand: Castiel catches the katana that Bobby swings at the back of his head. In his ''bare hand''.

* WhamLine: "I am an angel of the Lord."

Despite the chaos, he never flinches or even blinks, and [[HoYay he never takes his eyes off Dean]].
