Season 5, Episode 3:

Free To Be You And Me
Not sure he trusts himself anymore, Sam decides to give up hunting and live a "normal" life. At night, his dead girlfriend Jessica visits him and tells him that people can never change despite their efforts. Dean, intent on stopping the Apocalypse, continues hunting on his own and teams up with Castiel to find the Archangel Raphael, as Castiel believes Raphael knows God’s location. They find Raphael's vessel and lure him out, but are no closer to finding God's location. Raphael even claims that God is dead. After fighting off fellow hunters who wanted him to drink demon blood in order to exorcise some demons, Sam gets another late-night visit from Jessica, who turns out to be Lucifer disguising himself as Sam's deceased girlfriend all along. He says that Nick's body was just Plan B, and that his true vessel is supposed to be Sam. He is convinced that eventually, without any trickery or lies, Sam will agree to be his vessel, although Sam adamantly disagrees.

Tropes

 * A Man Is Not a Virgin: Except he is. Dean is appalled.
 * Den of Iniquity: As a direct result of the above, Dean takes Cas to a brothel.
 * Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Raphael is not to be trifled with.
 * Shout-Out: When Sam is scrolling through his phone, you can see the contact names Adele, Butcher, and Cassidy.
 * Also, when Dean finds out the archangel is named Raphael, he asks Castiel  by a Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel?"
