* TheWoobie: Poor Jimmy Novak. He's a devout man who prays to become an angel's vessel, only to discover it means that he's stuck in a constant state of AndIMustScream. Describing it as "being chained to a comet", Jimmy is freed after a ''year'' of this and is left starving, disoriented and horrified at what has happened to his life. He returns home, only to have his beloved wife and daughter held captive by demons (and, in the latter case, possessed outright), and then the poor man's wife is forced to ''shoot him''. He's told his job is done, and that he can go to Heaven - but that means that his daughter is going to suffer his fate, so he insists that Castiel take him instead (leaving him in an even worse place than he started the episode in, as his wife and daughter now know his fate and are endangered by his presence).
