So much happened for Castiel in Season 8, but when the end of the season came, everybody watching was still on the edge of their seats waiting for more. Make sure to stop by again tomorrow to relive how Castiel works through one of his biggest challenges yet: humanity. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

The whole thing remains unexplained. Dean lands in purgatory at the end of season 7, and then makes a come back in season 8 using a human portal that allows humans to pass back onto earth.
It is understandable that the writers had to find a way to bring Dean back for yet another season but to be honest, it makes little sense for God to have created a portal for humans in purgatory. What were the chances of a human getting sucked into that dark, terrifying dimension in the first place? God could hardly have accounted for the busybody Dean Winchester millions of years ago when he would have created purgatory! Not only did God apparently leave an escape hatch for humans in the event of one turning up in purgatory, but he also created ways to open its gates for some reason.
Crowley and Castiel manage to open the door to purgatory when they team up to mine souls. The dragons also open up a passage from purgatory to bring Eve into the earth. Yes, as mentioned above, it is unlikely that God left that manual, but somehow, inexplicably, it existed. Then again, when Castiel was saved by the battalion of angels from heaven, they managed to enter purgatory somehow.
But the question is, why did God feel the need to leave portals and passageways to and from this "hell-adjacent" - as Crowley puts it - place? Did he think it would suddenly be necessary one day to let loose all the monsters in purgatory upon earth?
It never quite makes sense how Castiel miraculously returns from purgatory in season 8, after letting Dean go on a guilt trip for months. It is understood that the angel Naomi sent in a garrison from heaven to get Cas out of purgatory. But how they were able to find a portal that allowed angels to pass through, when nobody in purgatory itself seemed to be aware of it, remained a mystery.
Fun as it is to watch, it is actually ridiculous how everybody makes a beeline for this universe, and that too, for some place in the United States, when they have to return from hell, heaven or purgatory. Given how many alternate realities the show has thrown at the audience over the years, from the bad place to the apocalypse world, one has to wonder why the portals from purgatory did not open up anywhere else.
Surely, there should be some escape hatch that takes an entity, human or otherwise, to a different universe, where they get to meet a different version of their own selves? Purgatory is full of blood, bones, unadulterated horror, and impending dread at every corner, where it would seem as if the very air stinks of death. However, in season 15, the archangel Michael tells Dean and Cas about a Leviathan blossom that grows in the soil after a Leviathan dies.
She was accidentally released from Purgatory by H. Crowley described Purgatory to be adjacent to hell but implied it was quite difficult to access directly. He believed that the Alphas, and their mother Eve, knew how to locate it and therefore, create a passage to it.
Although Purgatory functions as a prison and the final realm of monster souls, there were certain instances when its inhabitants were capable of escape, not unlike demons escaping hell. Some spells could summon creatures out of it, for instance when H. Lovecraft and his friends successfully opened a passage to Purgatory and accidentally set loose one of its natives. Monster souls may also escape if a human carries them out in their body and resurrects them on Earth.
Eve has, on at least one occasion two occasions, if she originated in Purgatory , managed to cross over from Purgatory to Earth. She arranged for her Dragons to find a virgin girl as a vessel for her to manifest in on Earth, and they recited a spell at the mouth of a deep chamber with lava to summon her. All of this information were recorded on an ancient book kept by the dragons. Another spell needed a lunar eclipse and blood from one of Purgatory's natives. This spell was so powerful it allowed the simultaneous release of all of Purgatory's souls.
This spell was performed successfully by Castiel, who then absorbed the souls to increase his power. This spell could also be reversed in order to return the souls back into Purgatory. Conversely, beings other than monsters may also find themselves transported to Purgatory; the Bone Of Righteous Mortal Washed In the Three Bloods of Fallen is shown and implied to send anyone near the Leviathan that the Bone is used on directly to Purgatory along with the Leviathan.
When something other than a monster enters Purgatory, it seems that monsters that are there can sense the foreign beings, as word seemed to travel fast that a human and an angel had been sighted in Purgatory.
Because Purgatory was not designed to hold humans, there is a portal located in Purgatory which will become active when humans are near it and will send any humans who enter it back to Earth in the Hundred-Mile Wilderness in Maine; it was indicated that the portal was created by God as an "escape hatch" in the event that any humans became trapped in Purgatory.
The vampire Benny knew of this portal and was convinced he could merge with the escaping human soul since he was once human himself. This was shown to be successful when Benny merged with Dean on his way out of Purgatory and also resulted in the vampire's rebirth.
This portal is located on a ridge and opens for a few minutes when it senses the presence of a nearby human soul, as shown when Dean approached it and was able to use it to escape.
Sam later used it to escape with Bobby Singer 's soul in the same manner. Reapers are able to travel to and from Purgatory at will and can bring humans with them. Along a stream that runs through Purgatory, there are three trees that grow together between an arrangement of boulders that conceals a portal to Hell , a "backdoor" that rogue reapers use to access it to take mortals and souls to and from Hell for a price.
Only Reapers know about this, as even the King of Hell, and all of the demons are unaware of this. However, angels such as Naomi are aware of the existence of this portal.
The archangel Michael was effortlessly able to open a twelve-hour rift into Purgatory with just a snap of his fingers. It is unknown how the hierarchy in Purgatory is structured, or if there even is one. If present, it seems to be grossly fluid and not strict like that of Heaven , as the monsters in Purgatory seem to be largely on the run from each other and were never shown to act in organized in groups or packs like they did on Earth.
Only the leviathans , some vampires , and seemingly the gorilla-wolves , were seen to behave with a group mentality so far. Prior to her death on Earth, Eve claimed dominion over all souls in Purgatory, so she is most likely the ruler of Purgatory.
Purgatory is the condition or process of purification or temporary punishment in which, it is believed, the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for Heaven.
