The next episode of "Supernatural" will feature some serious hell-raising.
On the next episode, "Devil May Care," Hell will come to earth, where there are hordes of confused heavenly creatures.
TVLine reports that now that fallen angel Castiel (Misha Collins) is mortal, he will engage in some carnal pleasures. Yet, Misha Collins told TVLine that he isn't "just" having sex in his new mortal form. "Cas is also experiencing emotions that he hasn't experienced before," Collins said. "So it's not just purely physical sensations, but it's also the incumbent emotions."
Collins even added that he'll go on an actual date this season, and will be "smitten" by a new love interest.
As for the new angel, Ezekiel, who was kind enough to help save Sam (Jared Padalecki), viewers may not see him again--at least not right away. Executive Producer Jeremy Carver told Entertainment Weekly that Ezekiel, played by Tahmoh Penikett, may reappear, but he wouldn't say when. "We're living in a world where [Zeke] is inside Sam right now, so it's hard to really address anything beyond that, but I will say that as an actor and as a character he was fantastic," he said.
Carver also spoke to TVLine about last week's episode, and about tonight's kick off of the Crowley vs. Abaddon feud.
Although Dean's (Jensen Ackles) secret about how he saved his brother is not the first time a secret has been kept, it is different in that "this is really two major decisions that Dean has made right from the get-go," Carver explained. "At the end of last season, in the church, and at the beginning of this season, you have two moments where he's trying to save Sam's life... Many times we've seen it as Sam withholding a big secret." Carver said that this time, the brothers are maturing and dealing with the situation in a new way.
Carver said that Dean's decision to allow Ezekiel to heal Sam will precipitate some serious consequences. "It's a life saved, arguably at the expense of other lives," Carver said. "It's a tremendous burden on Dean. The decisions he's made are really going to drive mythology in ways that he never really expected."
On tonight's episode, Abaddon (Alaina Huffman) will seek Crowley's (Mark Sheppard) title, and Crowley will be held captive by the Winchester brothers. But could fans ever feel a form of sympathy for the King of Hell?
"The juiciness of that story this year is, how is Crowley going to potentially manage a civil war from his place in the bunker?" Carver said. "It's something we delve into rather directly and have a lot of fun with. We find, if I can borrow a fan term, some unexpected feels for a character that maybe we never thought we would feel for."
Carver also said that the war between the fallen angels will get underway very soon. Carver said that there are different "angelic factions" in heaven, which will lead to some heated warfare on earth. "We'll be introduced to one of the leaders of these factions in Episode 3, and his name is Bartholomew," Carver previewed.
In episode two, Crowley, the King of Hell, will be feeling the effects from Sam's attempts to exorcise him, which he is none too pleased about. For the first time, Crowley will have to reflect on all he's done. "Now, suddenly things have an effect on him, and his recollections have this emotional undercurrent," Mark Sheppard told TVGuide.
In the second episode, Dean will reveal that he's kidnapped Crowley, and the brothers will enact a plan to torture the names of every demon on Earth out of him.
With Crowley kidnapped, Abaddon will reemerge with her dastardly plan to take over Hell, which includes gaining the trust of the angry, jettisoned angels. Carver said that some angels will return, such as season eight's Metatron (Curtis Armstrong), who will get back into the fray. Malachi, a dangerous fighter angel, will also be introduced in season nine. Malachi will force angels to follow him to begin a war.
Charlie (Felicia Day) will appear in episode four for a Men of Letters origin story, and Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) will also come back in episode eight.
Watch the promo for episode two, "Devil May Care," which airs Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 9 p.m. on The CW.
