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.

Reichenbach Review

Looks like we're not quite done with Cole yet. I thought he'd only last a couple episodes, but it's apparent he's going to be around for at least three. Whether he stays around long enough to be the season's big bad remains to be seen. I still can't imagine that a mere human would be the main villain in a season of this show. If he is, it's possible that he's going to go to great lengths to kill Dean and end up with some supernatural object or power.

Anyone else starting to ship Hannah and Castiel? After six seasons, I've kinda given up on Destiel. This somehow seems much more likely to happen and they do seem to care for each other. I'm just not sure two angels are going to get into a romantic relationship. Castiel, maybe, but most other angels might consider that too human. However, some of these angels (including Hannah) do seem to have a cult worship thing going on with Castiel. Considering he's basically a celebrity, she might just do it.

We know it's possible to cure a demon, but what about a knight of hell? It's possible that a demon's a demon, but maybe curing Dean won't be so easy. Especially since he made it clear he didn't want to be cured. There are medical ethics to giving a person a treatment they don't want. Assuming Sam can convince Dean to let him cure him, the usual process may not work. They may have to use the demon tablet to find a way to cure Dean. The problem with that is that they don't have a prophet to read the instructions. One of the angels would have to reactivate the prophet system.

I really don't think it's a good idea to let Metatron out of his cell. Even if he keeps his promise and tells them how to get Cas' grace and leaves to another planet, he'd probably just set himself up as a god there. That seemed to be what he wanted in the first place: to be the new God. There are other ways of helping Castiel. They could reconstruct the angel tablet and use that to power him back up. Assuming they could solve the prophet problem, there might be something on the tablet that could help him.
