* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Unable to eject Michael from his body, Dean instead locks him away inside his mind (represented by locking him in the storage room of his illusional bar). As he puts it, he's the Cage now.

The fact that she helps the Winchesters directly by teleporting them from Kansas City to Lebanon, then personally appearing to Dean to give him his future note containing instructions on how to defeat Michael, signals that things have gone very bad.

!Nihilism
Written by: Steve Yockey
Directed by: Amanda Tapping
Air date: January 19, 2019
Sam, Cas, and Jack manage to capture Michael and transport him back to the bunker, with some Reaper aid. Michael's plan remains in force. He is still firmly in control of Dean's body, with Dean not even aware. Upgraded monsters continue to attack Kansas city until they turn their sights on the Winchesters. Team Free Will faces long odds, without even a full team.
!Tropes
* {{Deicide}}: Claimed by Michael as his ultimate goal. If he keeps destroying God's universes then God himself can be lured out to be killed. In the meantime he's satisfied with wanton destruction, remarkably similar to Lucifer's.
* HannibalLecture: While Michael is in chains he does his best to get into the heads of both Jack and Cas.
* LotusEaterMachine: Michael traps Dean in a looped dream where he and a still-living, still-sighted Pamela Barnes run a bar and easily fend off the occasional monster attack. Sam is the first to figure out that if Michael were to lock Dean away, it wouldn't be in traumatic memories but rather in imagined contentment.
* PlayingDrunk: The "drunk" passed out in Dean and Pamela's bar is actually a vampire laying in wait for an attack.
* RedshirtArmy: Both the good guys and the bad guys have them. Jack regains his powers at the cost of part of his soul in time to vanquish the monsters breaking into the bunker. But while he's able to save Maggie, it's too late for most of the unnamed Hunters fighting alongside her.
* TheUnreveal: Billie shows Dean the single volume of his future life that doesn't end with Michael using him to destroy the universe. The audience, however, doesn't get to see what's in it.
