At that point there's a flash of light and we realize that Castiel, who is alive and a total BAMF instead of being dead, has just used the knife to kill one of the angels. He fights and kills teh other angel, then tells Zacharias to put the boys right. Z asks Castiel how he is alive, to which Castiel responds that he doesn't know and counters with another question--how did the boys get on the plane away from Lucifer? (The implication, of course, is that it was God.)
Z decides Castiel is too BAMF for him and fixes the boys and goes away. Castiel touches Sam and Dean's chests and carves a rune of protection into their ribs, telling them it will hide them from all angels.
In the meantime, Lucifer has been circling his vessel--a poor, sad, broken man who is having nightmares of his wife, bloody, in his bed, and his baby's empty crib leaking blood. We find out that the man's family was killed by an armed intruder. Lucifer tells the man that God did this to him, and that God should answer for it. God is obviously either a sadistic puppet-master or indifferent to the plight of humanity. Lucifer argues that his only sin was that of loving God too much. The man asks if Lucifer will return his family if he allows Lucifer to use him. Lucifer says he can't, but that he can at least get him justice for their deaths. The man accepts.
Back at the hospital, Bobby is crotchety and yelling at the orderlies and nurses. He tells Sam that it was the demon saying those things, not him, and that they are always family. Sam and Dean leave him there to recover. On the way out to the car, Sam asks Dean to say what he has to say. Dean says that they'll never be what they were. Sam was the one person Dean could always count on, and he betrayed his own brother to side with a demon. There's no forgiveness for that. At the end of the episode, Dean gets in the car and Sam stands there in the parking lot.
