How can you say that, though? They're keeping the whole Asmodeus/Ketch/Shedim (maybe) vs Lucifer/Castiel for the second half of the season. We're literally on the 9th episode, we still have 14 more episodes. Shoving every storyline to us in just 9 episodes would be stupid.

Castiel will stay until the show ends. Period. Misha is already on Jared and Jensen's level. Ketch will not survive. Lucifer, maybe, but it looks like they're giving him a redemption arc then write him off or something.

I really don't know what you expect though? It's the midseason finale, it's supposed to end with a cliffhanger.
