Where episode one of season nine focused mainly on the fall out of the previous year, and in particular the angels. We saw how the fall effected them, how they now view the Winchesters and what’s going on with Castiel. The second episode ‘Devil May Care’ shifts its focus to the demons and hell. This separate look at both heaven and hell, taking the time to look at them properly and explore the characters and establishing a potential series arc.
It’s also good to see that after eight seasons family is still a central motif in the show, and really comes through well in this episode without feeling forced or hammy. Particularly in the way that Kevin is brought into the extended Winchester family more so than ever before.
Having spent the previous season locked away on Garths safe house boat he’s now in the bunker with Sam and Dean and hopefully well have a chance to grow as a character and have more amazing scenes like his torture of Crowley in this episode. Dean’s heartfelt speech to Kevin concerning the fate of his mother is a very touching and unexpected moment, and one that really does bring Kevin into the Winchester family proper.

When Abaddon’s host was destroyed in the season eight finale I was massively disappointed as she was an amazing breath of fresh air to the show. Luckily the fans of the show weren’t quiet about how much they enjoyed Aliana Huffman in the role that the show runners brought her back in a brilliantly creative way. Once again the creators of Supernatural have listened to their fans and kept on another brilliant character.

With some great action, the return of Abaddon and Crowley and some brilliantly played character moments ‘Devil May Care’ is a great second episode and a perfect companion piece to the season opener. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next. 8/10
