But at least it makes for interesting TV.
But dont worry: Dean has seen Dr. Phil.
He knows what comes next.

After God whips up some amazing pancakes did you see how fluffy they were?!
he agrees to sit down and talk with his son.
Because of that, God had no choice but to lock him away.
Just about every answer is going to be along the lines of it had to be done.
(Although, as Dean points out, thats not unlike most fathers.)
I was supposed to love all creation equally, God says.
I wasnt supposed to have favorites, but you, you were mine.
I gave you the Mark because I loved you the most.
I thought you were strong enough to bear it.
And when God realized that his choice was going to devour my most cherished son, he hated himself.
And because of that, he punished Lucifer.
Finally, Lucifer gets his apology.
Well, they trap Amara.
As God explains, they cant kill her because he and Amara are kind of like yin and yang.
Theres a balance to the universe.
Light needs dark, dark needs light and whatnot.
Killing her would, well, it wouldnt be good.
But how do they trap her?
First things first: They need more soldiers.
Last time, the archangels weakened Amara before God finished her off.
So…demons, witches, and regular angels it is.
(And when he fails, he lets Castiel, his Jiminy Cricket, do the work.)
As for Rowena, Sam catches her just as shes working with another witch to head back in time.
But just as everything starts to come together, Deans oh-so-complicated feelings for Amara rise to the surface.
You know the saying: Gods way or the highway.
After the soldiers weaken her, God will transfer her Mark…to Sam.
Seeing as how Dean is already tainted, he cant bear the Mark, and naturally, Sam volunteered.
Reluctantly, Dean agrees to follow Gods plan.
Step 1: Using her witchy powers, Rowena communicates with Amara and tells her Gods location.
And when Amara shows up, Rowena channels a coven of witches to hit Amara with something resembling lightning.
It leaves a mark but doesnt keep her down.
Step 4: Once Amara stumbles inside the warehouse where Dean instinctively went to help her Lucifer stabs her.
Step 5: Now, its Gods turn.
But first, Amara wants answers.
She needs to know what crime she committed that meant she deserved to be locked away for all eternity.
As God puts it, The world needed to be born, and you wouldnt let me.
All the beings he created were lesser than him, to make you large, to make you Lord.
It was ego, she says.
You wanted to be big.
But what he will say is that its not the whole truth.
Turns out, theres a glory in creation thats truer than any ego.
God admits that creation didnt come from his hands.
It was there, waiting to be born, he says.
It just is, as you and I just were.
And yet, Gods cheated his way to another win.
Finish it, she tells him.
Stealing the Mark back from Sam, Amara kills Lucifer I think?
and hits God with everything she has, dropping his body to the ground.
Thankfully, hes not dead.
As Amara puts it, Welcome to the end.
Well, as Heath Ledgers Joker put it, And here we go.
Plus, he has to bring Gabriel (and Lucifer) back at some point, right?
