** Naomi's angels find Castiel and Metatron when a homeless man holding a May God Bless You sign spots them. [[Recap/SupernaturalS05E04TheEnd The End]] established that angels can use preachers of all sorts to find people.



* DiesWideOpen: Naomi.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Take a look up at ContinuityNod. All those things Dean suggested? Sam disappointing Dean was a reoccurring trend in them.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Take a look up at ContinuityNod. All those things Dean suggested? Sam disappointing Dean was a reoccurring trend in them. Sam also hears Dean complain about leaving him "unchaperoned."



* KansasCityShuffle: Crowley expects the Winchesters to try something to get out of their DealWithTheDevil, so Dean plays into that by trying to sign it instead of Sam, who's actually doing the trials. Having called foul on this, Crowley misses Dean's real plan; reading the contract to get close enough to shackle him.

Castiel's first impulse to get the Cupid's bow is to attack her, but Dean stops him with a suggestion they try talking to the lady first. Turns out she's deeply worried about how things have been going lately, is perfectly on board with closing up Heaven, and willingly gives them her bow for the cause.
* TwoShotsFromBehindTheBar: The bartender tries to defend Castiel and Metatron from Naomi and her mooks. It works as well as you'd expect.

* RevengeByProxy: In his MotiveRant, Metatron specifically blames Naomi and the archangels, and by extension the CelestialBureaucracy, for his exile from Heaven. [[Recap/SupernaturalS08E21TheGreatEscapist Two episodes earlier]], Metatron asked the Winchesters about each of the archangels by name and learned that two are dead and two are stuck in the Cage, making all four unavailable for his vengeance. Apparently he sees fit to take out his feelings on not only Naomi, but the entire Heavenly Host as well.

* ThickerThanWater[=/=]UndyingLoyalty: The reason why Dean won't let Sam finish the last trial, in stark contrast to their father.

Added DiffLines:

* ComicallyWordyContract: Crowley is negotiating with Sam and Dean over the exchange of the Demon Tablet for the Angel Tablet. Dean demands to see the contract and Crowley obliges, pulling out the rolled parchment and letting it unfold between them. He's a least a dozen feet from the brothers and the unrolled contract covers the whole distance. Crowley also gets a dig in while Dean is painstakingly reading through it.
--->'''Crowley''': You gonna move your lips for the whole thing?

* RealityEnsues: Kevin simply doesn't have the time to translate the Angel Tablet, so there's no way of establishing if Metatron is telling the truth until it's too late.

Crowley doesn't wear a meatsuit.


** Fans have theorized this is because Crowley's meatsuit was a man from New York.
