Although it seemed after last week’s episode that the boys from Supernatural could ride off into the sunset: they killed God, saved everyone on Earth, created a new God and restored order to the universe. Anyone else would consider that a job done.

Not Sam and Dean, though; they returned for one last episode (and an hour of emotional reminiscing) to say goodbye to the series, which has lasted 15 years over two networks, with more than a few apocalypses.

So on the last episode, Sam and Dean, finally free from all the horror that occupied their time, spend their time doing all the mundane stuff we regular humans take for granted: laundry, cooking, jogging, and having dogs, and it seems that this idyll will last forever. Until it doesn’t.

Evil hasn’t exactly been eradicated from our world, so the guys hit the road and head to Ohio where a home invasion with masked assailants seems to be something…well, supernatural. Vampires, to be precise.

Sam and Dean trace the vamps back to their nest, where they see a familiar face. Though they easily dispatch the baddies, the routine hunt takes a tragic turn.

It’s not giving anything away to say that emotions run high in the finale, with extra weight given to the relationship between the two brothers. Tears will fall, guaranteed.

Spoilers ahead: The episode isn’t perfect though, and fans may wish they had stopped watching last week. The showrunners didn’t leave an opening for the cast to come back again for a movie…or anything else. And anyone looking for closure with Dean and Castiel will be very disappointed.

Prior to the finale, show creator Eric Kripke, produces Andrew Dabb and Robert Singer and current and former cast members like Mark Sheppard (Crowley,) Samantha Smith (Mary) and Jim Beaver (Bobby) gathered together for a special to talk about the show’s history and mythos and to pay tribute to the best of its 327 episodes.

Kripke said he had a special fondness for the “meta” episodes, the ones where the characters on the show seem to know they are on a television show, like “Changing Channels,” “The Real Ghostbuster” or fan favorite “The French Mistake,” which showcase the show’s deft hand with comedy.

Main cast members Misha Collins, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles also thanked fans for riding along with them for 15 years and hoped they enjoyed the last episode.

The day of the finale, cast members like Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins went to social media to post emotional messages to fans attempting to deal with seeing their Supernatural family for the last time.

Misha Collins posted his reaction – or breakdown – on Facebook.

So…that’s it. Supernatural is over. Did you watch? Do you wish you hadn’t? How are you doing right now? Let us know in the comments!
