I love that Gabriel is back provided they have something good in store for him. I don't think he was alive the whole time as Chuck did previously state that he was dead unless he lied for some reason, which given the stakes at the time seemed unnecessary. I imagine that sometime after Asmodeus' return to activity he or someone else time traveled and brought him back. Also, I may have to rewatch Hammer of the Gods but Kali did have Gabriel's blood for a spell to bind him to her. Maybe it has something to do with that.
