Line 185:
** Lampshaded in "Season Seven, Time for a Wedding!"
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Gordon was right all along about Sam. {{spoiler|Subverted: while Sam definitely has darkness in him and accidentally started the Apocalypse, he sacrifices himself to save the world instead of siding with the demons or helping Lucifer take over the world.}}
* [[Casting Gag]]: Possibly unintentional but in Season 6's "Clap Your Hands If You Believe", Robert Picardo guest stars as a lead guest character and interacts with Dean. Picardo also appeared on ''[[Smallville]]'' as Edward Teague, the father of Jason Teague... who was played by [[Jensen Ackles]].
** An episode in Season 3 briefly featured Mercedes
* [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Averted--[[Melodrama|surprisingly]]-- when Dean startles awake from dreams of [[Trauma Conga Line|his time in hell]] with nothing more than a slight twitch.
** Played straight when Dean wakes up from a nightmare in 7.05 "Shut Up, Dr Phil".
Line 221:
* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: Sam Winchester's ''entire life'' consists of a plot to do this to him. It sort of works, to the point where the [[Big Bad]] [[Unwitting Pawn|manipulates]] him into [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|starting the Apocalypse]] thinking he was preventing it, [[Must Make Amends|but]] it [[Heroic Sacrifice|doesn't stick]].
* [[The Corruption]]: At the end of season four, Castiel tells Dean that {{spoiler|consuming enough demon blood to kill Lilith will permanently mutate Sam into a monster. Possibly, God cleaning it out of his system prevented this.}}
* [[Cosmic Close Call]]:
** The third episode in season 3, "Bad Day At Black Rock", features an [[Artifact of Doom]] in the form of a lucky rabbit's foot that grants its owner phenomenal luck... until they lose it (and "EVERYONE LOSES IT!"), at which point they suffer more and more until [[Necro Non Sequitur|they eventually meet their demise.]] Near the end of the episode, the Winchester brothers end up going through this trope in their attempts to destroy it: as they're about to burn the foot, the waitress they had stolen it from arrives to steal it back, and threatens Dean by nailing Sam (who had previously owned the foot) in the shoulder. They only get away when Dean tosses the foot to her, causing the curse to pass to her as well, and she resigns herself to handing it over to be destroyed.
** Happens to the brothers again when dealing with the goddess Atropos. Introduced in the sixth season episode "My Heart Will Go On", Atropos is one of the Fates in charge of arranging how mortals die, and can do so by freezing time and manipulating her surroundings. After Castiel interferes in and alters the past to save several thousand lives, Atropos [[Balancing Death's Books|begins hunting the survivors' descendants]]; when this draws the brothers' attention, she starts going after them as well, and they only manage Cosmic Close Calls with the help of Castiel.
* [[Cosmopolitan Council]]: In [[Supernatural (Anime)/Recap/S05/E19 Hammer of the Gods|Hammer of the Gods]], the council composed of {{spoiler|ten gods, including [[Norse Mythology|Odin]], [[Classical Mythology|Mercury]] and [[Hindu Mythology|Kali]]}}.
* [[Council of Angels]]: [[Heaven]] is apparently somewhat of a [[Celestial Bureaucracy|bureaucracy]], as {{spoiler|[[God]] has gone AWOL. In season six Heaven has descended into full scale civil war as Michael, its former leader (After God), has been trapped in Hell with Lucifer}}.
Line 233 ⟶ 236:
** In the Season 6 finale the final battle between {{spoiler|Castiel and Raphael}} ends up being like that. {{spoiler|Amped up on purgatory souls, Castiel}} merely snaps his fingers and {{spoiler|Raphael}} explodes into bloody goo.
* [[Cut Apart]]: In "Folsom Prison Blues", {{spoiler|Sam and Dean pull a jailbreak and go to the cemetery to destroy the remains of a nurse who is haunting the prison. The FBI is headed to the cemetery to recapture them. The camera cuts back and forth until it is revealed that the FBI was directed to the wrong cemetery.}}
==D==
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Crowley. He correctly deduces Lucifer’s inherent hatred of Demons, while his Demonic compatriots are all blind to this. In season 6 he takes the Winchesters very seriously as a threat and takes appropriate steps to foil them (including {{spoiler|faking his own death}}), even [[Lampshade Hanging|pointing out]] all the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] who were killed or defeated by failing to do just that.
