Supernatural: Meta Fiction (9x18) | Recap & Lore

Supernatural Season 9, Episode 18, Meta Fiction recap 🪽 Metatron (Curtis Armstrong) is writing the story now, and Gabriel (Richard Speight Jr.) is BACK... or is he? Berly and LA break it all down on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast. Metatron opens the episode at a typewriter in a smoking jacket and ascot, narrating his own story like he's God. And he kind of is now. Meanwhile, Dean is brooding in the shower (we needed more), Cas is on the road with his motel room and no wings, and a familiar face pops up on a Casa Erotica tape before appearing in person on Castiel's couch. Full body shots plus close-ups, interesting angles and lighting. Thank you, Thomas J. Wright! Episode Highlights: Metatron in the opening credits, and the jokes about continuity and retcons Gabriel looking right at the camera: Don't you need gas? (We should have known.) Dean getting some alone time with Gadreel (Tahmoh Penikett). Gadreel does not leave in good condition. Metatron fingering Cas with all of human pop culture, so Cas can finally get references Cas in a SUIT for about forty-five seconds before the trench coat comes back. The audacity. Sam and Dean's holy fire plan (how many rings did they make, just to be sure?) Curtis Armstrong clearly having the time of his life Hannah's I knew it! moment The story is FINALLY moving forward (thank you, Robbie Thompson!) In the lore segment, we dig into Gabriel's horn: how Gabriel became the trumpeter of Judgment Day in Milton's Paradise Lost, Armenian religious art, and spirituals like Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel. Gabriel announces births and interprets visions, but when does he pick up the horn? Listen to the end to find out. "Bitch, please. You've been God more often than Dad has." – Gabriel (to Castiel) Your turn, hunters: Did the Gabriel reveal get you too? And would YOU blow the horn of Gabriel?
