Girls, Girls, Girls Review

It appears that Rowena is definitely the main villain this season and not Cole. Of course, there was no way a mere human was going to be the big bad, but both villains were unresolved until this point. After this episode, Cole is probably going to stop chasing Dean. Whether he goes home to his family and stays there or becomes a hunter remains to be seen. Supernatural is full of one-off characters, so it's likely he'll never return, but not impossible. Rowena's goals as a villain don't seem to be established yet. The fact that's she's imprisoned in hell suggests the brothers won't be dealing with her for a while. In fact, now that Crowley's a series regular, Rowena may be his problem, especially considering she's his mom. However, I can't see the brothers not having some over-arcing story this season. Therefore, it's more likely that she'll pop back into their lives at some point.

I was really starting to ship Hannah/Castiel. I think Hannah leaving her vessel has more to do with feelings for Cas than the hardships they put their vessels through. If she had found a way out the situation with he vessel's husband that didn't involve kissing Cas, then she wouldn't have left. She only did it because it was awkward and she didn't want to confront her feelings for him. Also, Cas had already expressed a desire to ignore any human feelings that might come between them. So maybe she thought he didn't want romance and decided to leave before one formed.

It appears Hell's soul acquisition rate is down since Abaddon took over. Crowley did warn her that calling in contracts early would cause people to lose confidence in the market. I'm really not sure how many people would actually be aware of contracts being called in early. Even if they were, selling your soul is an act of desperation and some people might not care that they wouldn't get the full ten years out of it. There may be other factors at play as well. Abaddon may have killed a lot of demons that were loyal to Crowley, reducing their supply of souls. She may have chosen to call in contracts early in order to make up for that deficit. Now that the influx has been reduced due to a return to contract conditions, Hell may be lacking in souls.
