!Byzantium
Written by: Robert Berens
Directed by: Amyn Kaderali
Air date: December 13, 2018
Michael in a new vessel gathers his forces in Kansas City, Missouri. He's made a plan to turn the entire city using his enhanced vampires and werewolves, the latter including new recruit Garth Fitzgerald IV. Team Free Will look to bring Michael down, permanently if possible. To do that they'll need Dark Kaia's spear.
!Tropes
* TheBusCameBack: Garth's first appearance in almost five years and only his second since being turned werewolf.
* DeathIsCheap: Castiel says to Jack that dying and coming back is "practically a rite of passage around here."
* FakeDefector: Garth goes into Michael's operation in order to help Sam and Dean. It doesn't really work out that way.
* FeedTheMole: Michael uses Garth to send false intel about his/her forces taking out Kaia in Omaha. Dean and Castiel are the only one's who show up at Kaia's hideout because Michael ''wants'' them to get the Spear first.
* KansasCityShuffle: Aptly enough, given the episode's setting. Michael's real plan all along was to bring Dean back within his grasp, breaking the Spear and perhaps more importantly, Dean himself.
* RedemptionDemotion: Now that he's working with the Winchesters, Ketch lacks the British Men of Letters' resources, and also seems more prone to making dumb errors.
