Crowley Makes His Move in Supernatural’s “First Born” (Images & Scoop)

Via the CW, we’ve got some first details and new images from Supernatural’s Jan. 21st episode to share.

“First Born” will see Crowley attempting to reclaim his throne by making a bold move against Abbadon – with Dean’s help.

Meanwhile, Sam is back at the bunker where Castiel notices something that could prove useful in tracking Gadreel.

Check out the official episode synopsis below, and catch “First Born” January 21 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) on the CW.

Tim Omundson guest stars as Cain.

Looking to reclaim his place as King of Hell, Crowley (Mark Sheppard) asks Dean (Jensen Ackles) for help finding “The First Blade,” the only blade that can kill Abbadon (guest star Alaina Huffman).

Knowing he owes Crowley a favor for helping Sam (Jared Padalecki), and also wanting Abaddon dead himself, Dean reluctantly agrees and the two set off on a road trip.

However, Dean and Crowley are completely unprepared when they find out who has the blade – Cain (guest star Omundson), the first son. Meanwhile, Sam is back at the bunker with Castiel (Misha Collins) who notices there is some leftover grace inside Sam.

If they can extract it, they can use the grace to track Gadreel.

The only problem is the procedure may do permanent damage to Sam. John Badham directed the episode written by Robbie Thompson.
