Abaddon is back, and she isn’t here to negotiate. We grab drinks and unpack “Devil May Care” from Supernatural Season 9, where the fallout from Dean’s desperate choice keeps getting louder: Sam feels healthier than he has in ages, but only because Ezekiel is hiding inside him and quietly taking control when things go sideways.

We follow the case from a choppy, creepy cold open to a military base full of too-clean answers, then into an abandoned, poisoned town that turns into a trap. Along the way, we talk about why Tracy’s introduction feels like the show trying to hand us a new recurring hunter, why Irv’s betrayal hits a nerve, and why Abaddon’s philosophy makes her scarier than most villains. She wants demons who act like warriors, she upgrades vessels like gear, and she clocks Dean as the kind of “perfect vessel” that pulls the whole archangel mythos back into focus.

Back at the Men of Letters bunker, the emotional core is Kevin Tran versus Crowley. The torture plan backfires into something more disturbing and more honest: Crowley craves attention, Kevin is spiralling, and Dean tries to keep everyone together while holding a secret that Sam can’t consent to. We close with a lore deep dive into the Goetia and demon hierarchy keywords like kings, dukes, princes, marquis, presidents, and the lone knight rank, then connect it back to what “Knight of Hell” means for Abaddon’s power.
