Too Late?

Dean has an argument with Sam that wants to say "yes" to Lucifer to trap him. However, they go to the Serenity Valley Convalescent Home where Pestilence is and they are defeated by the Horseman. Out of the blue, Castiel appears and gets his ring.

Bobby sells his soul to Crowley to get the information where Death is. Crowley recovers Bobby and makes him walk. Dean, Sam, Bobby, Castiel and Crowley head to Chicago to meet Death. Bobby, Castiel and Sam find that Niveus Pharmaceuticals will supply vaccines with the Croaton virus. When Dean sees Death in a pizzeria, the Horseman surprisingly proposes a deal to Dean; in return, he gives his ring to Dean.

"Two Minutes to Midnight" is a great episode of the Fifth Season. It is intriguing when Pestilence says to Dean, Sam and Castiel that it is too late. The creepy Death and his dark encounter with Dean is the best moment of this show. My vote is eight.
