Trivia

When Castiel rebuffs Sam and Dean's questions about the angel who attacked Cas, Dean says, "Stop, alright. Too many angels, Cas. I don't know who's on first and what's on second." Dean is quoting the famous comedy routine "Who's on First?" by Abbott and Costello.

They visit the police officer Toby Grey that had witnessed the death of his partner and they learn that the three police officers had killed a teenager and planted a gun to justify their action.

They visit the family of the deceased teenager and they discover that his little brother has sold his soul to an angel; in return, he received part of the staff that he used to kill the officers. Further Castiel discovers the identity of the responsible for the tragedy.

"The Third Man" is a terrible episode of Supernatural, with the messy return of the angels. The story has a promising bloody beginning but the development and mainly the conclusion is dull. My vote is four.
