Supernatural

In the eleventh season premiere, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) must contend with The Darkness that's been unleashed upon the earth.

After Dean helps Jenna (guest star LACI J. MAILEY), the nurse he met after the Darkness fell, get back home safely, he sets off to help Sam deal with a town infected by a mysterious and deadly gas. When Jenna falls into dangerous hands, however, she calls Dean for help and Sam tells him to go back to her. Unfortunately for Sam, he isn’t able to handle the townspeople turned monsters as easily as he thought.

While Rowena tries to consolidate her power to protect herself from the Winchesters, Sam and Dean search for a missing baby connected to the Darkness. Meanwhile, Castiel struggles to heal and Crowley tries to find a way to use the Darkness for his own personal gain. Series star Jensen Ackles directs.

Nobody puts Baby in a corner! Seen entirely from the point of view of the Winchesters' Impala, Sam and Dean embark on a typical roadtrip to hunt demons and monsters – but the story is told in a decidedly atypical manner.

Sam and Dean investigate a series of murders at a small-town Maine B&B that was once home to Lizzie Borden. When a local man, Len (guest star JARED GERTNER), tells them he saw a little girl around the B&B around the time of the murders, the brothers realize Amara (guest star YASMEENE BALL) may be responsible.

Castiel seeks the help of Metatron (guest star CURTIS ARMSTRONG) to stop the Darkness. Metatron, however, is pretty happy with his new life as a freelance videographer for the local news and isn't inclined to help Castiel or the Winchesters. Meanwhile, Crowley is losing his hold on Amara.
