I agree with Orion Invictus' comment about Billie. Why didn't she just deal with Michael? Michael's treatment of AU Death would be extra incentive.

I didn't think of the grace issue before, but now that you mention it, why not drain it? I can't remember how this has worked before. If they drained the grace while Michael was still in charge of Dean, how would that have affected Dean? Could he still have taken charge? Could they still drain Michael's grace now that Dean is in charge? I vaguely remember Castiel draining some of Gadreel's grace from Sam after Gadreel had left Sam.
