Dean and Sam, in the midst of a long drive, stop for the night in a remote four-star hotel. Soon they learn that Kali, Baldur, Odin and other pagan gods have kidnapped the guests to eat them. Dean and Sam realize they are also trapped and being used as bargaining chips in an effort to stop the Apocalypse. Out of the blue, Gabriel arrives to warn Kali and the other gods that Lucifer will destroy them; however, it is too late since Lucifer has just arrived in the hotel. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Trivia
While addressing the gods, Dean says: "Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up!" This is a direct quote from the Sam Raimi film Army of Darkness (1992), the third installment of the Evil Dead series.

Goofs
Actors who play Pagan Gods match the origins of the respective deities (Kali looks distinctly Indian, Odin matches the looks of a stereotypical Scandinavian, Zao Shen is played by a Chinese actor etc.), yet Ganesha, a Hindu deity, is inexplicably portrayed by an actor of African, not Indian descent.

Quotes
Gabriel: Lucifer, you're my brother and I love you, but you are a great big bag of dicks.

10/10

for those of you disappointed

Even in the episode it was mentioned that the Pagangods were weakened because not many people believed in them anymore. But even an atheist would have thoughts about the devil. Everyone knows who he is and that gives him power so the fact that he was able to defeat them so easily doesn't make the gods weak, it just meant that he had more people believing in him that made him stronger. Just think about it though, because before I even watched this I didn't even know who Odin or Kali were. I didn't even know about Loki until I saw this episode and if I didn't know, just think about anyone else who probably watched it and had no clue. But the devil? Everyone could recall who he is even if they hadn't read the bible.
