'Supernatural' Season 11: First Look At 'All In The Family'! Get The Scoop On Episode 21 [PHOTO]

Is Cas' vessel degrading, or is Amara to blame? The Winchester launch a rescue mission in episode 21.

Oh, Castiel, Supernatural season 11 is really putting you through the ringer.

Cas' (Misha Collins) rather ill advised plan to allow Lucifer (Misha Collins) to co-habitat his vessel is already a bit of a train wreck, but, now that Amara (Emily Swallow) has her claws on two heaven's little angels, life for Jimmy Novak's skin suit is about to get a whole lot worse.

When episode 21 rolls around, The Darkness will force Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) to double down on their plans to save their wingman.


"Amara shows Dean how she's torturing Lucifer. Worried for Castiel, Dean and Sam come up with a plan to rescue him from Amara's clutches," The CW teased.

A photo circulated on St. Patrick's Day had fans worrying Lucifer's powerful presence would start to corrode Cas' vessel before season's end, but, now that we know the pic (see below) comes from filming for "All in the Family," whatever lacerations and bruising is most likely an adverse side effect of spending two episodes in Amara's clutches.

Considering behind-the-scenes snaps from episodes 22 and 23 show Lucifer/Castiel looking perfectly healthy, we can safely surmise that Jimmy's vessel is in little to no danger...at least not from angelic degradation.

While we wait for the big rescue, Sam and Dean will be busy fighting a new monster and meeting up with Chuck. The Winchesters will return this Wednesday with "The Chitters" (see a preview below).

"In a small town in Colorado, mysterious disappearances happen every 27 years," The CW teased. "Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) head to the town to investigate and meet two hunters who have a personal vendetta against these once-in-a-generation monsters."
