I’m a người hâm mộ of Gabriel, and when Kali stabbed him with the Angel blade, I was positive that he didn’t die. One thing gave it away. No outline of his wings!
When Lucifer showed up again, I was kind of surprised, but not much. When Gabriel said: “Lucy, I’m home.” I thought it was priceless. Unfortunately, Gabriel did die at the hands of Lucifer.
All in all, terrific episode. Castiel didn’t make an appearance, as promised on imdb.com. But, it was a great episode, regardless!
