Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Good, gimmicky episode of Supernatural this week with "The Vessel" (not actually named after a song this time, that I know of) as Dean trekked to the past and stowed aboard a WWII allied sub - the USS Bluefin - in order to get his hands on a "full-on Raiders" piece of the Ark of the Covenant. A powerful, potentially game-changing weapon in the battle against the Darkness.
So we got time travel, "Casifer" fully revealing himself, a (rare for her era) Woman of Letters, and a nice little emotional tug from a story about a doomed ship that got to go out swinging. Not too shabby.
At first sight, it may seem like the "Hand of God" being a one-off weapon is a bummer. As in, this entire mission was for nothing. Though, to be fair, I liked that things didn't pan out. At least, not in the Deus Ex Machina way the Winchesters were hoping for. This tale did, however, manage to out Lucifer, reveal his weakness (he's not strong enough to stop Amara on his own), while also making sure HE didn't get his hands on the weapon. So there was fruit. Plus, if you're like me and don't think we've seen then last of this heavenly weapon, you'll probably also assume that Delphine somehow survived the ball-of-light blast at the end. And will maybe return at some point, having become the weapon herself.
