After the great episode comes another one!
The story was reunited to be divided into parallels again - Cas meets Metatron who wants to shut the gates of Heaven to restore peace up there. He wants to protect people from the Angel-war and Cas is chosen to do the trials. Sam and Dean try to find out the way how to cure a demon. They found a movie which contains "odd exorcism". After that they understand they've found a possible way how to complete the third task. They want to practice that - Abaddon could be used for that. But they are interrupted - Crowley wants desperately Kevin, tablets and wants to stop Sam and Dean from the Closing-Hell-Mission. To do that he kills the "survivors" of the solved cases of Sam and Dean.
What I think is that in this episode Crowley really shows how evil he is. Abaddon is also back - her moment is a bit funny (the hand-thing) but more disturbing in fact. We are informed it was her who'd killed father Thompson and we see her reaction on the news that Crowley is now the King of Hell.
Another positive thing is the way that Sam and Dean react on Crowleys threats. They want to save people and hunt the things as Crowley says and that brings us to the very beginning of the show, not speaking about the murders of the "living"ones - the flashbacks are great. Crowley's speech is very drama-like, kind of Shakespeare monologue I'd say and it fits his character so much!
Also the idea of watching the movie, showing us the cases of father Thompson- that was brilliant! (the first one very horror-like, the second one with cured demon full of hope!)
It's the good way how to introduce the final, although I think that the Castiel-closing-Heaven-storyline is a bit rushed and I'd appreciate if there was more space for it (some of the previous episodes weren't so important - like Freaks and Geeks...I have the impression that it stole the space that could've been used for this storyline maybe...) - but no matter, this episode continues with the high level and I'm thrilled for the final!
