Spoilers ahead!

Supernatural fans have been waiting for this for a while - yes, Castiel (Misha Collins) is back! Sam and Dean's angelic ally has been MIA since he disappeared into a gloopy mess earlier this season, but now he returns... in the guise of a healer!

As Dean (Jensen Ackles) is left reeling by his pal's return, Sam (Jared Padalecki) is driven to breaking point by Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) and finds himself locked up in a mental hospital - can his fragile mind be repaired?

Supernatural continues on Fridays at 9/8c on The CW.
