Happy, but Sad, and Kind of Confused

From left to right: Sam, Lucifer (in Nick's body), and Dean

First of all, this post may contain spoilers. So you have been warned.

Couple posts ago, I wrote about my excitement and expectations for the season finale of Supernatural. And the dramatic conclusion is...AWESOME!!!!! This episode has met my every expectation, which does not happen very often. I was so happy with the direction that this episode took and was saddened by the apparent end. However, the masterminds of the show really threw me for a loop. Warning; starting here are spoilers and possible confusion for non-followers of the show.

Sam said "yes" to Lucifer (but he and Dean have a plan to beat the Devil), which means that Lucifer can now walk freely on Earth by "wearing" Sam as a suit. However, plot twist ensures, as Dean and Sam discover that their surprise, clever plan to put Lucifer in his cage was not a surprise. Lucifer knew what they were scheming. Then Adam, the long lost Winchester brother, shows up as the Archangel Michael and prepares to fight with his brother, Lucifer/Sam. At the last moment Dean shows up to save Sam. Before he was able to do so, Dean was severely beaten by Lucifer/Sam. After that heart-gripping fight, Sam comes to his senses and overcomes Lucifer's control. As Sam/Lucifer jumps into the Devil's eternal prison, with Michael in tow too, Dean is left all alone (Cas and Bobby were with him, but Lucifer killed they). It was the saddest scene I have seen on television. Then, comes the pile of new questions (hint for Season 6?!). Cas is miraculous brought back to life with all of his angel powers. But who brought him back? God? That leads to the next question: who is God? By the very end of the episode, it seems that the prophet Chuck is the likely candidate (previously "normal human" who sees the plans of Heaven suddenly disappears in a puff of smoke). And Sam is shown to be standing outside Dean's "new home." How did he get out of the eternal prison?

After all that emotional roller-coaster, I must say, I cannot wait for Season 6.
