HOW WILL CASTIEL GET ON NEXT SEASON?
Lose his trademark suit and overcoat? Decide to stay human forever? We speculate on what could happen to Castiel in Supernatural Season 9.
With Supernatural just two weeks into its hellatus known as the summer break before the Season 9 finale, we're starting to look ahead to the next season. Last week, we talked about all the different ways Bobby could return to the show. But what about everyone's favorite former angel — and now human — Castiel?
Now that he's wingless and powerless, here are our theories on where we think Castiel might go next season.
He could lose the suit and overcoat
We realize this theory could get us thrown out of the fandom, but we implore the Castiel fans out there to bear with us for one second on this one. Sure, Cas is known for his trademark dark suit, tie and tan overcoat, but wouldn't it be nice to see the character in some other clothes next season? From a logistical standpoint alone, it doesn't make sense for him to stay in those clothes. As an angel he may have had the ability to clean his outfit with (we assume) a snap of his fingers, but without his abilities, he's going to have a rough time cleaning that suit and might just have to borrow some jeans and flannel shirts from the boys. Also, on a side note, how adorable would Cas look in jeans and flannel?
He could end up actually happy for once
He could go hunting with the boys
He could actually do the right thing
Right now we have no idea what's going to happen in Season 9, but it's a pretty fair bet that, at some point in the future, Castiel will have a way to get his powers back. It could be as simple as them defeating Metatron and letting all the angels back into Heaven, or Cas could find the grace that Metatron stole from him and swallow it like Anna did when she found hers. But what if Cas chose not to? What if, after living as a human for a while, he decided he'd rather stay that way? We're quite intrigued by the notion.
