Supernatural (TV series)/Recap/S05/E10 Abandon All Hope

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Season 5, Episode 10:

Abandon All Hope

Tropes

  • A Death in the Limelight
  • Defiant to the End: Cass has been captured in a ring of holy fire by the Devil, and still refuses to join him and says he'll oppose Lucifer's plans. Made more effective by the fact that Castiel is clearly terrified the whole time.
  • Last Kiss: Dean gives a rather platonic, but heartfelt one to Jo when she is dying.
  • Not So Different: Lucifer tries to explain how alike he and Castiel are as part of his Sympathy for the Devil.
  • Oh Crap: The kill-anything plot device of the first three seasons fails to work.
  • Phlebotinum Breakdown: Sorta; it's not that the Colt breaks, exactly, just that it's not strong enough to kill its target.
  • Senseless Sacrifice: Ellen and Jo; while their sacrifices keep the hellhounds from getting to Sam and Dean, the dynamic duo subsequently fail to kill Lucifer, making the Harvelles' deaths all the more tragic.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: Attempted, but you'd think Lucifer would have noticed it never works for him.
  • Wham! Line
