Castiel scans the Heavens and Earth but cannot locate Jimmy. Fearful his vessel has been permanently destroyed, he searches the globe for a suitable replacement. To his astonishment, he zeroes in on a radio frequency in Massachusetts that is broadcasting with Jimmy’s voice. The vessel looks remarkably like Jimmy, so he begins the same assurances and plans that he did with Jimmy –

Which backfire horribly as Jacob screams bloody murder and all the breakables in his house break. Although Castiel doesn’t have a human body, he sighs. Why is nothing ever easy?

He appears to Jacob in dreams, and after several months, finally convinces the human to allow his presence. He’s content until the final showdown with Michael, and he actually listens to Dean, as if he hadn’t learned his lesson by now.

“Hey, assbutt!” are hardly the last words that an angel would like recorded for the Winchesters Gospel.

Now that he’s lost two vessels, Castiel fears his visitations on Earth are done. No angel could be so lucky to find a third –

And yet he’s drawn to Vancouver, where a strange set-up reminds him entirely too much of hunts with Dean and Sam. But there, going into that very small house, is his vessel.

He whispers his name, hoping that this vessel is as good as Jimmy and can hear him.

“Huh?” the man states and turns around, looking curious. “Is somebody here? If that’s you, Padalecki, it’s on.”
