Crowley knew that Castiel's side isn't doing well in the battle, so he had an informant somewhere.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe this is the first time they've seen Castiel since they started working for Crowley--supposably months--and Crowley figured he's not really that concerned with Winchester shit anymore. Especially if you know how badly stuff's going.
I hope the boys can help him out somehow even if it's just legwork on Earth. Cas can look everywhere real fast, but Sam and Dean can work out where stuff is.

They're both 30s--the first one cuts together many scenes and is basically the promo we saw with one additional exchange, and the second one is a longer scene of one of the bits in the promo.

Yes, the promo clarifies what we see in the US promo.

Because books.
The first one explains what Sam's up to a little better, though. Which, YIKES.
I just looked up the title, too, because it seemed familiar. I'm going to guess that this is not going to be a happy, goofy episode.

So, am I supposed to be shipping Dean/Death HARD? because I am.

Well, I'm definitely not, but you go right ahead.

Harder than Dean/Tessa? Totally not.

Oddly, ita, yes.
Which, umm. I'm going to blame Hard Core Logo for.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
The beauty of all of it is that it's this huge interconnected thing, with no one ever learning from history and thus being doomed to repeat it.
Except Dean! Dean told Sampa to learn from their mistakes!
Show has been very careful not to tell us where John and Mary are (other than John is no longer in hell). All we can do is guess.
Is this perhaps why Sampa was so eager to help Crowley find Purgatory? Maybe that's where John and/or Mary are.
I'm still unclear on how Crowley had the mojo to get Samuel out of heaven, if he was there. But I can't see why he would have gone to hell or purgatory.
I thought that the cage was in hell, and that's how Crowley managed to get Sam out.
Maybe purgatory is where the "othersouled" go.
And Meg's Ellen-esque stand to hold off the hellhounds while the others forged ahead didn't really ring true, since the whole kill Crowley mission was bound up in self-preservation for her.
Not if she thought that she could take them. If it was a suicide mission, I can see it, but if she thought that she would win, and that sending the boys ahead would get her Crowley to play with, I can see it.
Crowley attempted murder and failed. He wasn't playing around with unkillable avatars in his head. He was ending a threat.
Yeah, but he was bullshitting, though. Why send ghouls in with Dean and random demons in with Sam when he can kill either/both of them with a flick of his hand? The only thing I can think of is as a plot device reward for his minions to get to kill the Winchesters?
