The day we’ve all been waiting for is here, at last, Supernatural fans: Dean finally agreed to become Michael’s vessel during Thursday’s Season 13 finale.

When the archangel yells at Lucifer that they had a deal, Dean spills the beans to Jack about his bio dad’s dirty dealings: Lucifer gets Jack, and Michael gets everything else. Now Jack understands his father’s burning desire to leave the planet Michael intends to destroy. He then compels Lucifer — oh, that’s one of his powers? — into confessing that he killed Maggie. “You’re not my father. You’re a monster,” Jack declares. As you can imagine, Lucifer is angry and not above siphoning grace from his own son so he can power up. Just as Lucifer is about to attack Jack, Sam intervenes and all three are transported to a church.

Michael declares that the devil won. There’s no way he can beat Lucifer now that he’s so supercharged. But Dean has an idea that goes all the way back to Season 5: What if Michael had his sword, aka the hunter as his perfect vessel? However, if they’re going to do this, Dean has some conditions: “This is a one-time deal. I’m in charge. You’re the engine, but I’m behind the wheel.”
