Meanwhile, Crowley has finally found Lucifer, who is now in a new vessel: a faded rock star named Vince Vincente and sets off with Rowena to send him back to the Cage.
She receives a call from Mick (Adam Fergus), a fellow Man of Letters, who chastises her for disobeying orders and also tells her about Ms. Watt's (Bronagh Waugh) death.
Dean (Jensen Ackles) is informed by Castiel (Misha Collins) that he may have found Sam a warded farmhouse after searching rental properties in Aldrich, Missouri, the location Ms. Watt's cell phone had pointed to.
Lucifer refuses and prepares to kill him when Rowena approaches with a spell and Crowley pours sulphuric acid on him in hopes this will make Vince expel him and they can return him to the Cage.
Mick explains that the British Men of Letters are interested in working with the American branch to keep the country safe and that Toni just went too far and will be punished for her actions.
While the Americans are skeptical, Mick has disarmed himself and lowered the wards so Castiel could enter as a sign of good faith to show that he means no harm.
Things may not be barreling full steam ahead yet, and I'm still waiting to get excited by the British Men of Letters, but there's something about not knowing fully what's in store that's keeping me engaged.
"[4] Bridget LaMonica from Den of Geek, gave a 3.5 star rating out of 5, stating: "The espionage angle with the British Men of Letters is interesting, but I need to see more of where it's going before it feels like it fits with the side story of Lucifer getting a new vessel.
Supernatural isn't much for globe-hopping, James Bond action – although we did have a moment once when Dean proudly declared himself Batman after a rabbits foot-induced lucky shot.
"[5] Hunter Bishop of TV Overmind gave the episode a 4.3 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "I am interested, if a little put off, by the British Men of Letters storyline.
"[6] Samantha Highfill of EW gave the episode a "B−" and wrote, "Altogether, it wasn't a remarkable hour, but it was filled with a lot of necessary story in order to set up the season.
