There is a chance that they’ll revisit The Empty next season so there is a possibility of Gabriel coming back. I mean, if the Cosmic Entity thought Castiel was annoying then boy oh boy it got a big storm coming.

They’ll either make him go to the dark side so they have a reason to get rid of him or, just like Cas, they’ll weaken him so he could stay.
