I think people complaining about Castiel getting his grace from Theo are missing the point. Castiel stated that angels killing angels in such a manner was "barabric". He obviosuly wouldn't have killed any angel in cold blood just to get his grace back.Being held captive and tortured ny Malachi pushed him to the extreme, where he had to act desperately. He murdered Theo for his grace because he knew that he needed to escape and that he needed to finally stand up and fight.
