20
21	!!Tropes
22	* AdmiringTheAbomination: Rowena acts like a fangirl around Lucifer.
23	* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Lucifer wants Sam to become his vessel again so that he may fight the Darkness. He pulls Sam into the cage with him and tells him they'll be bunk-mates all over again if he refuses.
24	* BatmanGambit: It was really Lucifer and not God who gave Sam visions of the cage, knowing it would make Sam desperate enough to find a way to speak to him directly.
25	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Amara claims not to be evil or want to destroy God's creations, yet she still thinks it's right to consume souls and kill innocent people to make God notice her.
26	* BoltOfDivineRetribution: The episode ends with the host of heaven doing this to Amara, with no indication on whether or not it will harm her or be a NoSell.
27	** Amara herself causes something like this to happen to a street preacher and his followers in the teaser.
28	* TheBusCameBack: Lucifer makes his first physical appearance since the end of Season 5 (having been only a hallucination in Season 7).
29	* CombinedEnergyAttack: The angels last ditch attempt to get rid of Amara.
30	* CurbStompBattle: Amara easily kills the angels who try to seize her.
31	* EnemyMine: The Winchester, Crowley, and Rowena team up to contact Lucifer, so that he'll tell them how to fight the Darkness.
32	* HaveYouSeenMyGod: Amara states that she's only killing people in order to get her brother's attention.
33	* ManySpiritsInsideOfOne: Amara says the souls she consumes are not destroyed and are a part of her, and tells Dean that to become one with her is to experience bliss.
34	* NoSell: Dean attempts to stab Amara with an angel blade, only for it to shatter on impact.
35	* OhCrap: Written all over Sam's face at the end of the episode.
36	* PrayerIsALastResort: Amara goes into a church and tries this because nothing else she tries seems to be getting God's attention. It works as well as all her other attempts.
37	* ProfessionalButtKisser: Crowley briefly tries this when confronting Lucifer in the cage. Lu' doesn't buy it for a second.
38	* QuestioningTitle: It refers to Amara's search for God.
39	* WreckedWeapon: Dean tries to kill Amara with a blade. Not only does the blade not kill Amara, it shatters on contact.
