He then hides Sam and Dean from angelic detection and disappears. Castiel soon appears and forces a frightened Zachariah to leave with the thinly-veiled suggestion that he has been miraculously revived (and Sam and Dean put on the plane) by God himself. However, Dean refuses to provide the permission required for Michael to possess him, even when Zachariah threatens to kill Sam and Bobby and tortures the brothers. Zachariah explains that Dean is in fact Michael's "sword" as Michael's destined human host (called a "vessel"). They find the angel Zachariah ( Kurt Fuller) at the place the sword is supposed to be, as Zachariah had purposefully planted the information that led them there in one of Chuck's prophetic visions. The brothers take Bobby to the hospital, then set off to take Michael's sword before the demons do. The Winchesters defeat the other demons, but Meg flees before they can kill her. Bobby manages to overcome the demon long enough to stab himself with a demon-killing knife, severely wounding himself in the process. When Sam and Dean decode the clue, they are attacked by demons working for Lucifer, including their old enemy Meg Masters ( Rachel Miner) and their now-possessed friend Bobby Singer ( Jim Beaver). Chuck later sends word through a fan of his work named Becky Rosen ( Emily Perkins) that the angels have lost the sword of the archangel Michael-a weapon capable of defeating Lucifer-and gives them a cryptic clue as to its location. They seek information from the prophet Chuck Shurley ( Rob Benedict), learning that their angelic ally Castiel ( Misha Collins) has been killed for helping them, but he is unable to tell them much else because he is being watched by angels, who are working against the Winchesters to bring on the Apocalypse. An unknown force whisks Sam and his brother Dean ( Jensen Ackles) from the place that Lucifer has started his destructive rise, and transports them safely onto an airplane passing overhead. With the accidental freeing of the fallen angel Lucifer in the climax of the previous season finale by Sam Winchester ( Jared Padalecki), the Apocalypse has started. viewers in millions" refers to how many Americans who watched the episode live or on the day of broadcast.
