Trivia

 * This episode was watched by 1.38 million viewers and got a 0.5 rating. This is the second lowest rated episode of the series, with War of the Worlds being the lowest.
 * Sam sees Billie as Death for the first time.
 * Naomi is revealed to have survived Metatron's attack in Sacrifice. She had a few reliable angels spread the news of her death while she spent years "putting my thoughts back in my skull." According to Naomi, even after nearly five years to heal, she is still only "mostly here" and has only returned due to the dire situation the angels are in.
 * Rowena recalls her meeting with Billie in Alpha and Omega.
 * It is revealed in this episode that in every possible version of Rowena's ultimate death, Sam is the one who kills her.
 * As of this episode, there are only less than a dozen angels left alive. According to Naomi, at the time of her conversation with Castiel, there were only nine angels left in Heaven, herself and Castiel included and one or two on Earth "and that's all."
 * Castiel learns that if the situation doesn't change soon, the remaining angels will burn out and Heaven will crumble, releasing all of the billions upon billions of souls onto the Earth as ghosts.
 * Upon seeing Naomi, Castiel has flashbacks to Naomi going after him with her drill in Torn and Frayed and Naomi's "corpse" in Sacrifice.

Errors

 * Naomi's revelation that Heaven is powered by the presence of angels contradicts events in season 9. After the Fall, only Metatron was left in Heaven, and although he still had his wings, he was just a regular angel, yet Heaven didn't collapse.
