* MindRape: Donatello's predicament inadvertently messes up his successor's mind, causing Tony to start killing people in the name of God. Since it will just happen again with the next one if his immediate successor dies, the guys realize that Donatello himself has to die.

!Prophet and Loss

Written by: Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming

Directed by: Thomas J. Wright

Air date: January 31, 2019

On their way to confine Dean to the Ma'lak box, he and Sam take a side trip to Fort Dodge, Iowa to investigate a case. Ritual killings are being committed, and the culprit appears to be a prophet.

!Tropes
* AngerBornOfWorry: A big factor in Sam's climactic drunken confrontation with Dean.
* HealingHands: Castiel restores Donatello to health and restores his old personality, although Donatello still doesn't have a soul.
* PoeticSerialKiller: Tony Alvarez at least seems to think in these terms, due to having Donatello's fragmented thoughts in his head. In reality he's just murdering innocents in not particularly apt ways.
* SelfDisposingVillain: Alvarez shoots himself when the Winchesters tell him he's not really a prophet. It's ambiguous whether this is from guilt, fear, or something else.
